Line 84:
** By the time Light actually makes the holograms ''he'' is more competent.
* So now Wily is going back to the old "frame someone to take the fall for his robot assault on humanity" ploy in ''9'', e? Why? Only a true moron couldn't see through the ploy ( {{spoiler|and it ''is'' a ploy, according to the official soundtrack; Wily ''is'' controlling the new robots, ''not'' Light}}), and he had pretty much given up trying such a tactic after it failed him ''three different times in the past''. Does Capcom simply think that [[Viewers
** Considering that the last time he used such a tactic, he [[Paper
*** Take note that in the ending, {{spoiler|Bass' blueprints are shown on a screen. Either Wily deactivated him, or Bass got so sick of the old fart that he left in disgust... Or maybe he left when Wily tried to seem "good" again, on Wily's orders, for the sake of making it look more convincing.}}
**** This troper likes to think that {{spoiler|Bass was just getting a tune-up.}}
Line 129:
** They're Windows Vista-tipped. Same reason they're an insta-kill in Network Transmission.
** My theory? They're all cone-shaped antennae. Mega Man warps into the bases, so an antennae emitting the right frequency could force Mega Man to warp out, which is why he turns into balls of light that float away instead of just blowing up. Also explains how he comes back seconds later. Lives aren't actual lives, they're just how much power Mega Man has to teleport back to Dr. Wily's Base. Also, the checkpoints are dead zones between the antennae that are so small, Mega Man couldn't see on radar when he warped to the base. This explains why he warps to the beginning of the stage instead of straight to the Robot Master. Why do you think most boss fights take place in a small secluded room with thick walls? I forget; did I answer your question?
** METAL spikes. METAL robot. Anyone who's played ''[[Mega Man 2 (Video Game)|Mega Man 2]]'' will know this is simple [[Elemental Rock
** The only thing that bugs this troper is why people assume metal can't cut through metal. As pointed out above, although with abit less humor here, it's very likely that the spikes are made of a metal stronger than Mega's armor, and therefore would kill him quite easily if he landed on one without a Spike Guard or [[Mercy Invincibility]].
* If the original six robot masters were created by Dr. Light, why didn't he just GIVE Mega Man their weapons to begin with instead of having him fight all of them with his pea-shooter?
Line 151:
** I'm annoyed by how they're rebuilt after the games, and yet, are still there. Do they volunteer to stand motionless in the background, or what?
*** Maybe only some hold the actual Robot Masters and the rest are models?
* Why are all the Dr. Light Robot Masters humanoid? I mean, in the case of Rock and Roll, who are meant to be assistants, it makes sense. Same for Proto Man, who was a test to see if they could get the concept right, and a few others. But Fire Man, who's supposed to be an incinerator? Cut Man, who's just supposed to cut down trees? Galaxy Man, who's function was to calculate rocket trajectories, something that could be just as easily done by a computer that [[Super
** Apparently, they were all custom-made back then.
** Not sure about Galaxy Man, but with Fire Man and Cut Man, Doctor Wily was his assistant during the design and construction phases, and probably wanted them to be humanshaped so that they'd be perfect soldiers (smaller so more efficient, human shape means can interact with machinery and such), so he probably BS'd Light.
Line 203:
** I think he has some sort of protecting shield device of sorts. It's not a far stretch. Wily once teleported into the scene like Mega Man does at the beginning of the stage, when Dr. Cossack stopped fighting Mega Man in ''4''. He could have the technology. Also, Wily's pretty damn tough. He survived being crushed by huge hunks of debris at the end of ''[[Mega Man 3 (Video Game)|Mega Man 3]]'' and ''7'' without even getting injured.
* In the ending of Mega Man 7, Mega Man tries to [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him|kill Dr. Wily]], saying "I am more than a robot! Die Wily!" While most think this is [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|really cool]], I questioned it. Mega Man was converted from an assistant robot to a fighting robot to fight other robots by [[Lawful Good|Dr. Light]], who wouldn't break the laws of robotics in a situation like this. I don't believe for a second that Mega Man (who is not a thinking, feeling Reploid and therefore [[Lawful Stupid]] [I mean he didn't even question the concept of expiry dates in Mega Man 9, doesn't believe [[Obviously Evil|Bass]] is his enemy and [[What an Idiot!|have you seen the ending to 9?]]]) would try to kill even Dr. Wily, no matter how futile an attempt at incarceration would be, on top of not trying to kill him in future installments. Basically, no, Mega Man is not more than a robot.
** He's overriding Law Zero- which states he COULD kill Wily, since Wily's continued existence is a threat to humans. By disobeying something that supercedes the other 3 laws, he is indeed more than a robot.
*** That doesn't even make sense. He's not "overriding" the Zeroth Law, he's ''obeying'' the first law. The Zeroth Law is more along the lines of, "Something that you ''could'' do if it's 100%, absolutely necessary," it's not a compulsion or something he ''has'' to do. The "more than a Robot" line was Mega Man saying he ''would'' kill Wily.
