[https://web.archive.org/web/20120618013313/http://www.themegas.com/main/main.html The Megas] are a Los Angeles-based band well-known for making vocal rock remixes of music from the ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' video game series. Unlike [[The Protomen]], a similarly dedicated band, they directly remix songs from the games. The resulting songs generally have a closer feeling to the original work, giving each of the Robot Masters their own personalities as they sing about their lives as Mega Man breaches their defenses, and eventually defeats them.
Its members currently consist of "Reverend" Josh Breeding, Eric "E" Von Doymi, Greg "Gregatron" Schneider (formerly of punk-rock act Agent 51), Mike "Mikey Hell" Levinson (also of Agent 51), and Brian "The Double D" DiDomenico. Their debut album, "Get Equipped", which covers nearly every song in the Mega Man 2 soundtrack, was released January 2008. It's available for purchase on [https://web.archive.org/web/20120306013110/http://www.themegas.com/store.html their website.]
On August 24, 2009, the band, in conjunction with Entertainment System, released a 4-track EP called ''Megatainment'', based on ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] 1''.
