* FantasticRacism: Crops up from time to time, in the Classic Universe many Robot Masters, even ones that have nothing to do with Wily's Rebellions, take undue blame simply for being robots. It becomes a plot device in the Fifth Rebellion, when a Hate Crime against an innocent Robot Master is used to justify their plant to kill all humans.

''Legacy of Metal'' is the collective name for the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' fan fiction of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/55667/ Eric Lawson]] and the common continuity that it shares. Many elements are based on ''[[FanFic/RockmanTheRobotWar Rockman: the Robot War]]'', which the author cites as one of his major inspirations, though it has a markedly different style. The first stories starring X were written in the late 1990s, with Lawson later expanding the setting both backwards and forwards in time.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5353667/2/Mega_Man_X_From_The_Sidelines The timeline]] sets ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' 1-8 and ''Mega Man and Bass'' in the late 21st century, with Mega Man himself born in 2070 and dying in 2085, and ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' in the early 22nd, X himself being discovered in 2117. ''An Uncertain Future'' used "20XX" and "21XX," but this was abandoned in favor of the more precise timeline.
