Fridge / Mega Man Rock Force

Fridge Brilliance

• The Rock Force members come from a variety of games, but none are from 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, or & Bass. Why? Because the Robot Masters in those games were all built by Wily (or at least seem to have been). The Robot Masters in 1, 4, 6, 9, and 10 were not built by Wily, or at least could plausibly have been built by someone else. Let's run it down:
  • Mega Man: (Fire Man, Cut Man, Bomb Man, Elec Man) - All were built by Dr. Light and reprogrammed by Wily afterward.
  • Mega Man 4: (Dive Man) - Built by Dr. Cossack; used against Mega Man due to Wily holding his daughter ransom.
  • Mega Man 6: (Knight Man) - Built by an unnamed designer from the U.K.; stolen by Wily under the guise of Mr. X.
  • Mega Man 9: (Tornado Man) - Built by Dr. Light; convinced to rebel by Wily.
  • Mega Man 10: (Nitro Man) - Built by an unknown party; infected by the Roboenza virus.
    • Not quite true. While 2 and 5 are the ones where the robot masters were all of of his design, and 3 had Light/Wily hybrid designs, half the robot masters in 7 and 8 were designs he stole.
  • Also, why are Ensemble Dark Horse Robot Masters Guts Man, Pharaoh Man, or Skull Man not present? They were all decommissioned, as seen in Mega Man 7's Robot Museum.
• In the revised ending, Pulse Man gets a job as a fitness instructor. Initially, this might feel like a hilarious jab at Pulse Man's Acrofatic status. But remember what Pulse Man's bio states: Pulse Man was built as a proof-of-concept design built to work with a hydrogen fuel system 'based on the human cardiovascular system'. Now his choice to become a fitness instructor makes a little more sense: He's got some knowledge on how human cardiovascular systems work, so why not put that knowledge to use and teach others how to exercise their cardiovascular systems?
