History WMG / TheMegas

*** The Megas are not beholden to the roles Capcom has assigned, and the Mega Man Killers are fairly obscure, to there's room for Punk to be more of a, well, punk... Plus, it only says he likes to ''fight'' fair... Maybe he just enjoys a good brawl, a bit of the old mega-violence as it were?

** Also Magnet Man's attraction to Roll in "Don't Mess with Magnet Man".

The second half of Look What You've Done does sound like the aftermath of a particularly bad breakup. Dr Wily's burning lust manifests itself in the form of Flash Man, who is obviously gay for Mega Man (Light by proxy)

The songs from his POV are getting increasingly darker, tracing the path towards a mental breakdown. In "I Want to Be the One", he is utterly optimistic and gung-ho about defeating Wily. In "Lamentations of a War Machine", he is remorseful of his actions, worries about being a killing machine, and repeatedly asks "Was I right?" "History Repeating" is, if anything, even darker, with lines like "Who do I call when I'm broken and bleeding?" and "What always ends in bloodshed begins as [[YouBastard just a game]]", and a refrain about how he wishes he could change his destiny. If the trend continues, he will eventually hit PTSD.

Zero being a robot capable of independent thought, realizes what Wily has in store for him, (namely, to turn him into a psychopath, seal him away and kill X), and before Wily can induce his murderous personality and put him in stasis, he tells Wily he's a lying, manipulative hypocrite, who built and stole armies of robots and programmed them with their various neuroses and set them loose on innocent populations, lambasting Light and Megaman for their actions in daring to try and save innocent people from his rampages (all from the comfort of his fortress), then running like a coward or begging for mercy he did not deserve every time they had to stop him. Furthermore, for all his exclamations of robot rights and whatever, he was responsible for more robot deaths, misery, reprogramming and oppression than any other person in the world, done in the name of his own self-aggrandizement, and that he was about to lobotomize his greatest achievement for petty revenge.

* They probably are going to do Zero's theme. They said that, after ''Mega Man 3'' is done, they're going to work on the first MegaManX game. However, as, by this point in time, Zero has ''absolutely no idea'' who Wily even IS, it'll probably be a later Zero song that discusses it(unless you're talking about a flashback).

Either just before or during Hope Rides Alone (in which Protoman attacks the robot masters from the first game), or just after Unrest In The House Of Light (in which he tells Megaman about what happened to his "brother," causing him to go out to try to avenge his death).

[[WMG: Megaman started wondering about being a war machine because of Crashman]]
Seeing Crashman throw the fight, he began wondering about what he did. The other Robot Masters were not so big an issue, given they were causing mayhem and destruction for poorly-defined reasons, or were trying to kill him for personal glory or intense MoralMyopia (avenging the other robot masters despite the fact that they were rampaging murder machines working for a deranged power-hungry mad man), or in Flashman's case, because he was a StalkerWithACrush who could stop time.

[[WMG: Crashman died by his own bomb, but not his own hand.]]
In the frantic fight, although he had the upper hand, at some point, Megaman managed to tornado Crashman and a fired crash bomb into a wall. He got up to finish Megaman off, but noticed the lodged crash bomb next to him, and rather than take off to finish off Megaman, he stood next to the bomb until it exploded, [[GoOutWithASmile saluting Megaman just beforehand]].

[[WMG: In the (hypothetical) Megaman 4 album, the robot masters sing about their intention to [[HeroAntagonist save their sister]].]]
Them fighting Megaman was just to distract Wily from seeing Protoman pulling his HeelFaceTurn and saving Kalinka, but when Protoman shows up with Kalinka in tow, Wily pulls an epic NiceJobBreakingItHero, pointing out that Megaman just slaughtered 8 innocent robots, and Protoman was complicit.
* The album though, ends with [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Megaman and Protoman reconciling]], Proto telling Mega the others did what [[HeroicSacrifice they felt they had to do]], ending with [[{{Foreshadowing}} Protoman promising he'll never work for Wily again]].
* Unfortunately, The Megas aren't all that fond of the game, and are more likely to skip to ''MegaManX'' or ''9'' rather than do this game. Which is a damn shame, because [[strike:''4'' had some stellar songs]] this idea is ''brilliant''.
** Thanks! And I'm listening to the end music, and I think the transition from the solemn train ride music to the MM2 Remix would work very well for the mourning and reaffirmation of hope in Megaman that I was going for.

He blames himself for letting them die in the first place and hunts Megaman down for revenge, destroying anything that gets in his path which may or may not have been entire cities.

When you think about it, each of the Masters exhibit as their primary personality trait something that you'd expect to find on a crazed scientist like Wily. Airman represents Wily's isolation and loneliness, and his resentment for being exiled from the scientific community. Metalman is Wily's arrogance and self-confidence, his unwavering belief that Light, and by extension Megaman, could never defeat him. Woodman is Wily's inner WellIntentionedExtremist, but like Wily himself, he goes overboard in trying to protect what he cares about. Bubbleman is Wily's feeling of worthlessness, and his unending desire to prove himself. Heatman is Wily's rage and hatred for Light and Megaman, and the more unstable side of his personality. However, he also represents Wily's guilt, which is why he imagines himself to be in Hell. Flashman has aspects of both Airman and Bubbleman - loneliness and worthlessness - but primarily he's Wily's envy and jealousy of Light's accomplishments, which reveals itself as a desire for Megaman - symbolically, Light's acheivments. Quickman is Wily's inner fear, the knowledge that, even if he won't admit it to himself, Light is actually better than him, and Megaman is going to win, regardless of what he does. Finally, Crashman is Wily's own self-loathing, his own desire to be defeated. Deep inside, he hates himself, and wants to be stopped, and that reveals itself in Crashman's desire to help Megaman.

* Actually, I think desire to improve the world is mostly Elecman, who represents Wily's radical, 'revolutionary' side. Bombman is Wily's insanity and emotional turmoil (it's implied that his emotions - "The robot can feel!" - drove him crazy, as he didn't know how to deal with them), as well as Wily's destructive impulse. And finally, Fireman and Iceman both represent Wily's inner longing to work with Light again (as he hinted at in Look What You've Done).

[[WMG: The Doc Robot will get a song in the upcoming MegaMan 3 album]]
He will constantly switch between the personalities of the Robots from Megaman 2, in a homage to the Get Equipped album. Whenever he isn't using a bosses' power, he will sing about how he and Megaman both share the ability to [[MegaManning copy the weapons of others]] and will try and use this point to persuade Mega to join Wily's legion.

* Enker will be smug and superior, And only realize near the end of the song that he's been tricked into destroying himself, but refuse to relent out of pride.

[[WMG: The Message From Dr. Light takes place in the same universe as TheProtomen as well as this one.]]

* It might have started slightly before. Quick Man saw him as nothing less than the unstobable incarnation of Death himself. Mega Man realized that he has become HeWhoFightsMonsters, but he couldn't stop; not with oe more robot, the only one with the power that Mega needed to get to Wily.

They wanted us to relate to the robot masters and feel bad for someone of that we gleefully kill them. Though, we have a trope for this, its EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory
