[[File:iamboom.gif|frame|Not really like this. But still entertaining.]]

A [[Sprite Comic]] on the ''[[Bob and George]]'' Web site that retells the ''[[Mega Man (~~Video~~ ~~Game~~)|Mega Man]]'' storyline, incorporating obscure characters from the Game Boy, PC and [[Wonder Swan]] games as well as original characters. It starts from the beginning collaboration between Wily and Light, details the creation of two prototypes (only one of which is [[Super Prototype|Super)]] and Mega Man's battles to bring down Wily.

A [[Sprite Comic]] on the ''[[Bob and George]]'' Web site that retells the ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' storyline, incorporating obscure characters from the Game Boy, PC and [[Wonder Swan]] games as well as original characters. It starts from the beginning collaboration between Wily and Light, details the creation of two prototypes (only one of which is [[Super Prototype|Super)]] and Mega Man's battles to bring down Wily.

It features various flash forwards to possible futures, and <s>Polka</s> Reset Man, the un-super prototype's [[Split Personality]] may be a Stardroid from one such future. The series is memorable for showing an Alternate [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] of Mega Man as a rapidly learning robot, rather than an ice cream loving dumb-bot. It's also notable for showing all sides in the conflict as having a rather good learning curve. The second storyline likewise has a more worldly feel as various factions of [[Red Shirt|Red Shirts]] and world governments try to take steps to reverse engineer and use the robot technology, all while Wily gains some impressive technological advantages of his own and Mega Man and Dr. Light struggle to keep pace.

Line 76:

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Several, usually when the Robot Masters fight humans, but [http://ferretcomic.com/812 Electric Man versus Metal Man] stands out.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Quint.

* [[Defiant to ~~The~~ End]]: {{spoiler|Cut Man.}}

* [[Defiant to the End]]: {{spoiler|Cut Man.}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|Cut Man}}: '''Point'''less? That's some bad choice, log guy. I, {{spoiler|Cut Man}}, am never ever ever ever ever '''EVER''' pointless!}}

* [[Determinator]]: Crash Man is able to continue fighting [[Off ~~With~~ His Head|without his head]] or arm.

* [[Determinator]]: Crash Man is able to continue fighting [[Off with His Head|without his head]] or arm.

** Atlas can shrug off being buried under tons of rubble {{spoiler|and take Crash Man's weapon barrage until his energy shield is broken}}.

** Subverted with Mega Man's first fight against Metal Man and Quick Man.

Line 138:

** [[Disgruntled Ferret]] also considers Dr. Light to be a "good Mad Scientist".

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: All members of the Fodder Force Uber Team.

* [[Permission to Speak Freely|May I Speak Freely]]: [http://ferretcomic.com/874 "Nah."]

* [[Permission to Speak Freely?|May I Speak Freely]]: [http://ferretcomic.com/874 "Nah."]

* [[Mind Screw]]: <s>Polka</s> Reset Man's corrupted data, and the mini-arc "Dumb Nonsense."

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The sorry state of Enker in the "Too Serious" side-story is just ''depressing''.

Line 155:

* [[Not Worth Killing]]: Quick Man lets a deactivated Mega Man live under these reasons. Of course, when he finds out the Blue Bomber ''is'' worth killing, [[Blood Knight|his reaction is quite positive.]]

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Nuking The Fourth Wall]]: The Atomic Dragon's attack in [http://ferretcomic.com/1031 this comic] is so powerful it vaporizes the comic's boundary frame between the third and fourth panel.

* [[Off ~~With~~ His Head]]: Crash Man in "Live and Learn"<ref>It doesn't stick</ref>, and more fatally, {{spoiler|Roll}} in "Too Serious".

* [[Off with His Head]]: Crash Man in "Live and Learn"<ref>It doesn't stick</ref>, and more fatally, {{spoiler|Roll}} in "Too Serious".

* [[One-Man Army]]: Mega Man fits this until the second game kicks in. Crash Man is a definite example, reminding Wood Man that he had enough ammunition to level the city in a blind and deaf rage. Blind and deaf due to ''[[Implacable Man|missing]]'' ''[[Off ~~With~~ His Head|his head]]'' at the time.

* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: When a robots is destroyed, it can be rebuilt without much trouble, so long as the memory chip is intact.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: When sending robots into the field, the military just gives them a hat for disguise. Or in Atlas' case, a hat and a [[Badass Longcoat]].

Line 197:

** DisgruntledFerret recently made [http://ferretcomic.com/1021 a filler comic] that shows everyone from the [[Bob and George]] forums who have made a cameo appearance.

** [http://ferretcomic.com/890 Cutman's viral/Harmony form] appears to be directly lifted from [http://www.cutstuff.net/ Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch] [http://a.imageshack.us/img830/2410/zavie.png creator CutmanMike's avatar character.]

** [http://ferretcomic.com/747 I AM] [[Zelda II ~~the~~ Adventure of Link|ERROR]].

** [http://ferretcomic.com/747 I AM] [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|ERROR]].

** Instead of being referred to as a "Mega Man Killer", Enker instead goes by the title of [http://www.ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic162.png "Mega Man Hunter"]. Possibly as a nod to the [[Mega Man X ~~(Video Game)~~|X-Hunters and Maverick Hunters]], possibly just to sound less silly.

** In good anime fan tradition, [http://ferretcomic.com/249 there's one] for ''[[Fist of the North Star]],'' complete with the classic '[[You Are Already Dead]]' catchphrase.

* [[Shown Their Work]]/[[Mythology Gag]]: Ferret clearly knows his classic series Mega Man. Although the majority of humans are (probably) original, startlingly few of the ''robots'' aren't from an actual source.

Line 215:

** The flying surfboard has a 2 on it for a reason. It's Ferret's interpretation of Item 2 from [[MM 2]].

*** Ferret also depicts all three "Items" [http://ferretcomic.com/archives/Comic1019.png as a single device that can switch between multiple modes.] It's also referred to as a [[Call Forward|Support Unit.]]

** [[Mega Man (~~Animation~~)|The Ruby Spears show]] certainly gets attention as well.

{{quote| '''Mega Man:''' I'm a super fighting robot. I'm here to super fight.}}

** Heat Man being lazy? Yeah that's canon to the games.

Line 240:

* [[Super Powered Robot Meter Maid]]: Rock and Roll were created to help Dr. Light in the lab and clean the house, respectively.

* [[Super Prototype]]: Averted with <s>Polka</s> Reset Man, who's barely able to defeat a Sniper Joe. Later played straight with Atlas.

* [[Super Robot]]: More as tribute. Daidigger D is a remnant of Doctor Light's <s> misspent</s> [[The Kid ~~With~~ the Remote Control|well spent youth]].

* [[Super Robot]]: More as tribute. Daidigger D is a remnant of Doctor Light's <s> misspent</s> [[The Kid with the Remote Control|well spent youth]].

* [[Surrounded By Idiots]]: Played straight in the first arc. Subverted in the second, where Wily's new minions are competent to the point of being [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]], but Wily still treats them like this.

** Showing that the abused always kick downwards, Enker treats his fellow Robot Masters like this.

** In the fillers where he appears, X is definitely this. Zero, iX, and Harpuia all manage to be not all there in some way or other.

{{quote| '''X''': Oh hell, he raided the women's locker room for 'prizes' again. * Runs offscreen* You choose strange ways to die, Zero!}}

* [[Taking You ~~With~~ Me]]: {{spoiler|[http://www.ferretcomic.com/960 Crashman shows why he's called The Destroyer.]}}

* [[Taking You with Me]]: {{spoiler|[http://www.ferretcomic.com/960 Crashman shows why he's called The Destroyer.]}}

** {{spoiler|Cut Man does this with Wood Man.}}

* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: The Wily 8 do not really cooperate well with one another in battle, often getting in each others' way. Their general personalities also seem to clash.

Line 263:

* [[We Are Team Cannon Fodder]]: Parodied with the Fodder Force.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Quintet has an...''interesting'' interpretation of the phrase, "everlasting peace."

* [[Who Dares]]: [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/paint/archive.php?comic=268 Almost a given at some point].

* [[Who Dares?]]: [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/paint/archive.php?comic=268 Almost a given at some point].

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Quick Man considers Mega Man to be one of these. Mega Man doesn't really care.

* [[You Fail Logic Forever]]: [http://ferretcomic.com/1004 Metal Man.]

{{quote| '''Metal Man:''' Peace without fail, because we're justice! And therefore we are completely blind!}}

* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: Quintet's plans. Which is rather fitting, considering his counterpart's [[Indy Ploy|approach to things.]]

** [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: Of course, when Mega Man's [[Spanner in ~~The~~ Works|more heroic nature]] comes into play, Quintet's had to pull some rather dodgy maneuvers. Lampshaded by Ferret himself:
