Line 109:
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: Protoman engages in this in "Curse of the Lion Men" when Tar reprograms him and the other robots.
* [[Cultural Translation]]: Generally what people tend to think about this series. As this show was mostly a western production, the character designers would go with the style what was the ''it'' thing in other western cartoons of its time: muscles. This had the side effect of making Mega Man/Rock and his "sister" Roll look more like teenagers, as opposed to their child-esque appearances in the games. Other than that, most of the characters resembled their video game counterparts, only on 'roids, with the exception being a completely redesigned Roll.
** The action was also firmly grounded in the United States (most of the time), with one episode featuring Mega Man taking a plasma shot from Proto Man to protect the statue of [[Abraham Lincoln|President Lincoln]]. The world map of ''Mega Man 8'' would put Dr. Light's lab in clearly in the center-west of North America, but that game came years after the cartoon.
** In another episode, Wily proclaims that [[Big Applesauce|New York City]] is his, presumably talking about "the city" that most episodes take place in.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Roll.
