{{quote| ''"I hope, history is kind to us all / I know they'll blame me for the fall / I wish there was a better way out, / But there's no better way out."''}}

* [[Card Carrying Villain]]: Heat Man.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Heat Man.

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Mega Man, who (supposedly) cheats in his duel with Quick Man by using the Flash Stopper (''My circuits slow''...), presumably to overcome Quick Man's superior speed. This is the only time he seems to use a Robot Master's weakness in the songs.

* [[Companion Cube]]: Tourball.

Line 83:

** Also, his song ''Look What You've Done'' implies that he's fighting to free robots from human tyranny (as do ''Evolution of Circuitry'' and ''You've Sparked A War''.) Now compare this to ''Programmed to Fight'', which reveals that Crash Man is still a slave to his programming...

* [[History Repeats]]: ''[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|History Repeating]]''

* [[I Cannot Self Terminate]]: In ''Programmed To Fight'', Crashman wants to let Mega Man win and kill him so Doctor Wily will fall, but, as the title suggests, his programming will not allow it.

* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: In ''Programmed To Fight'', Crashman wants to let Mega Man win and kill him so Doctor Wily will fall, but, as the title suggests, his programming will not allow it.

* [[I Let You Win]]: Listening closely to the Crashman song lyrics, the end suggests Crashman was actually winning before he finally was able to throw the fight.

* [[Implacable Man]]: Quick Man's song has him wondering if Mega Man's one of these.

Line 99:

** Wily's song has shades of this, specifically when he starts begging Dr. Light to call Mega Man off.

* [[Moral Myopia]] - So, it's okay for Wily to program destructive machines and set them loose to kill and maim, but if Light sends his robot out to stop him, Light is a coward and Mega Man is a murderer?

* [[My God What Have I Done]]: By ''Lamentations of a War Machine'', Mega Man's enthusiasm for the fight has given way to the realization that he, too, was built to kill. He's reduced to begging Doctor Light to tell him why he fought, why all this had to happen.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: By ''Lamentations of a War Machine'', Mega Man's enthusiasm for the fight has given way to the realization that he, too, was built to kill. He's reduced to begging Doctor Light to tell him why he fought, why all this had to happen.

** ''If I've a heart made of steel / [[Do Androids Dream|Then does that mean I cannot feel?]] /Remorse for everything I've done / [[Arm Cannon|My hand's a smoking gun!]]''

*** The intro to the Mega Man 3 album implies that he's still not over it.

Line 122:

{{quote| We are the chosen, we are the pure/They are the virus, we are the cure.}}

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Bombman's song paints him as one.

{{quote| Fire in once lifeless eyes/ motivated by their cries/ '''[[Kill Em All|Obliteration]]'''/ The humans' chance has passed.}}

{{quote| Fire in once lifeless eyes/ motivated by their cries/ '''[[Kill'Em All|Obliteration]]'''/ The humans' chance has passed.}}

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: If you don't attribute Heat Man's song to [[For the Evulz]], and lean toward [[Hearing Voices]]. This goes hand in hand with the [[Ax Crazy]]. Also can be a [[Freudian Excuse]].

* [[Screw Destiny]]: Quick Man tries to do this. [[You Can't Fight Fate|He fails]].

Line 132:

* [[Something Completely Different]]: ''[[Mega Man (Animation)|Super Fighting Robot]]'' and their cover of ''[[Sunglasses At Night]]'' have nothing to do with ''Mega Man 3'' or Spark Man, but they're on the ''Sparked a War'' single anyway.

** The inclusion of ''Sunglasses at Night'' is most likely an allusion to Protoman.

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]: One of the lines from ''History Repeating'', <s> I rock.</s> <s> Fire up.</s> <s> I'm fired up.</s> which has caused many a [[Flame War]].

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: One of the lines from ''History Repeating'', <s> I rock.</s> <s> Fire up.</s> <s> I'm fired up.</s> which has caused many a [[Flame War]].

* [[Spontaneous Crowd Formation]]: A crowd gathers to watch Mega Man and Quick Man fight.

* [[The Atoner]]: Dr. Light builds Mega Man to make up for his mistake of working with Dr. Wily to build the Robot Masters.

Line 149:

** It's explicitly evoked with the line "My end has come and I welcome glory/no one will know the truth to this story."

* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: Crash Man may have been more motivated by a hatred of his creator than by sort of sense of justice.

** Then there's, you know, [[Well Intentioned Extremist|Elecman's]] ''entire song'', calling out for robots to throw off [[Humans Are Bastards|human oppression]] and revolt.

** Then there's, you know, [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Elecman's]] ''entire song'', calling out for robots to throw off [[Humans Are Bastards|human oppression]] and revolt.

* [[Villain Song]]: Most of the songs are sung from the viewpoints of the Robot Masters the songs are associated with. ''Look What You've Done'' deserves special mention as it is sung from the perspective of [[Big Bad|Dr. Wily]] himself.

* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: ''Look What You've Done'' portrays Dr. Wily as one of these.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: ''Look What You've Done'' portrays Dr. Wily as one of these.

''Can you not feel / That we could have a life forged in steel. / I only ask that you see what I see. / This is the answer. / Why won't you believe. }}

** Elecman can qualify too, as [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters|he sees human control of robots as slavery.]]

* [[What Could Have Been]]: The band originally went by the moniker ''The Message From Dr. Light'', which was scrapped due to sounding "too religious". They also apparently went by ''The Rockmen'' "for all of one hour".

* [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome]]: "''ROBOTIC HAIR!''"

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: "''ROBOTIC HAIR!''"

* [[What the Hell Hero]]: ''Wily'' calls out Dr. Light many times in ''Look What You've Done''.

And that is to prove them all wrong!

The strongest of all of the other robots is me. }}
