None of the images are mine, most are collected from public auction and sales listings, toy news sites, review sites. I have a lot of additional information on some of these, as well as a lot of thoughts about scale and which lines work together. At some point I'll put together something for Forte.exe too.

[descendant-of-truth]

On principle, I don't really prefer Cross Fusion as a mainstay, episodic mechanic - Netto already takes up more screentime than Rockman does, and having him be in the lead when it comes to physical fighting just comes across like he's taking over Rockman's role in the show.

However, I do like the concept of it, and I feel like all of my complaints about how it was used are very easily fixable.

Probably my biggest problem with it is that, despite being a fusion mechanic, we don't actually get to see the Operators and Navis working together during it, which is like. the whole point of the series. It comes off more like they're just wearing their Navis' clothes

Which isn't a bad way of setting it up, really, but why are the Operators the only ones in control of their movements? Rockman's voice still comes through with a filter, and he doesn't speak with Netto's mouth, implying that he's just... thinking at him?? Talking through an unidentified intercom in the helmet, maybe??? It's super vague

There's so much you could do with the Navis inhabiting their Operators' bodies, I can't stop thinking about it. Blues being surprised at how fragile Enzan's squishy human body feels, even with the power upgrade. Meiru giving herself a big hug because she and Roll love those.

Rockman tearing up because he never thought he'd get to be in the same world as Netto, and Netto loudly complaining that Rockman's making him look uncool. they start crying twice as hard and Netto refuses to admit that it's because he's emotional about it, too

And even beyond the emotional stuff (or the comedic potential of any bantering), there's some practical things you could consider, too. How strong does the armor actually make them? Would Rockman struggle to use his regular battle strategies now that he has to take Netto's presence into account?

What if there was a cost to using Cross Fusion, like having it wear both of them out quicker? That would definitely add some more stakes to each fight, and make it so that it's not just "business as usual but in the real world." It forces them to think fast and find more efficient ways to deal damage

There's so much potential for character exploration and fight scene creativity with Cross Fusion, and even if I'd rather they stick to the traditional fights more often than not, I would have loved to see them use the ability in more engaging ways

[Super Famicom] Rockman X | Sunday, 12.17.2023

Exactly 30 years ago, Capcom released the Super Famicom version of the original Rockman X video game in Japan on this exact date! A North American release soon followed around the month of January 1994.

Trivia: Did you know that if you find and utilize the Hadoken technique (from the Street Fighter series), it can deal a ton of damage to almost any boss in the game? It can be found in Armored Armadillo's stage.

I actually did it guys, I did a full-color (just not full-body) take on Geo’s Black Ace Form, and boy oh boy did it turn out just amazing!! A lot of cleanup was required, but I still had such a fun time trying to pull off the cool, striking look of this form.

Again, if not for the mech-like appearance, I really-really love how his eyes look in this form. It just adds to the whole “otherworldly” feel of Wave/Noise Changes. ( J* v*)J

[Commission] I really REALLY enjoyed working on this commission, as I’m a huge Mega Man fan *O* I hope you like it! His armor is so cool 🤩

0858: Super Armor Mega Man

[zak-kondo]

Victory Gundam Deeply and emotionally breaks it's own characters. Uso painfully learns what loss means, as he sees his precious friends obliterated, often in needless ways. There are times you'd think he's had enough and is ready to check out, but he keeps going. There are many episodes that focus on his tragic feeling of loss. Characters don't just appear for the sake of it and die, there is meaning and value behind their circumstances and choices that leaves an impact on the viewers.

break

As Uso fights, he shows what I love about Tomino protagonists. Too many times, main characters are cowards that rarely ever grow or go anywhere. Uso carries the fire of the protagonists before him, and fights in such a brave manner that it's inspiring to watch. I always appreciate the short, passionate, and blunt comments Tomino protagonists make as they fight, and their analysis and realizations of war that give the viewers much to think about. Uso is also on the search for his parents. This leads to an interesting connection between him and his Gundam, that is very similar to the connection between Shinji and his Eva-01 unit from Neon Genesis Evangelion. As the war rages on, there is an interesting focus on love on the battlefield, all too tragic to the reality that many times our significant others don't make it. Victory Gundam interprets this as painful as it will come to show.

As Uso fights, and tries his best to overcome the reality of war, he becomes the new Newtype. As he fights on, the other characters grow with him. Some for better, and some for worse. Some characters, such as Katejina, fascinate me with some of the most interesting writing and twists.

solo

Uso has the same curse that Yang Wen-li has from Legend of the Galactic Heroes. They are both outright critics who despise war, and yet, they appear to be as if they are the best suited for it with their skills. Uso however, gets put in situations where he could almost be genocidal, and the most kill hungry protagonist I've seen in Gundam thus far. There are times he loses control. Times he gets ahead of himself. Times where he kills, and starts enjoying it too much.

Despite this, You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. Besides, it took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. Uso is one of these madmen. To the extent that he resists his enslavement is the extent to which he is free.

As much as the soldiers try to arrest the people on Uso's side, and try to blame them, it's clear that Individuals do not create rebellions; conditions do.

End. intro repeats.

The new mobile suit designs in this add to how unsettling this series can get, and it can get very unsettling. Many of the enemy mobile suits look like insects, in such a way they look eerie; almost as if they were organic. At one point there is a centipede type mobile armor, and a giant serpent type. It feels as if this had to inspire the maverick designs in Rockman x3.

The animation does have some problems. There are a few odd slideshows that remind me of the production issues in Super Dimension Fortress Macross. There is reused animation that was very noticeable to me during the re-watch. Because of the lack of shading, some of the characters' noses can look strange. Overall, however, the art and animation is very enjoyable, satisfyingly expressive, and horrifying when it needs to be.

The soundtrack is fantastic. The usual tracks played during battles and build ups are iconic, and can really help in setting the tone. The insert songs help make some of the best moments in Victory Gundam. If you are looking for a great finale, the last 2 episodes of this series ascend it to a different level.

Something about Victory Gundam that is interesting is it's approach with Newtypes. Yes, you should watch the previous Gundam entries before this. If you don't you'll miss the history, context, and breakdown of what the Newtypes are. That is because this series never explains what they are. As a result, those viewers not familiar with the older entries may get confused on what a Newtype is. For viewers like me that did the homework and learned the history with the older Gundam entries, I felt a lot of appreciation for what this series does with Newtypes. Towards the end, it becomes even more important to know the context, as Newtypes start emerging everywhere.

To me, Mobile Suit Victory Gundam is a dark, yet beautiful story that is surprisingly hopeful despite the reputation this has with some viewers. This shows that Tomino, and the staff, were able to take Gundam and take it somewhere new in a wonderful way. At this point in Gundam history, and as much as he may not agree with it, to me, Victory Gundam is Tomino's victory.

2020 Megaman Valentine’s Day Contest - Cat. 1 (Talent) Results!

Thank you to everyone again for your patience! This is getting posted way later than I wanted to. As much as I try to keep it short and sweet, I never do, so bear with my walls of text. 

For the talent category this year, the theme was about killing Mega Man with kindness. More specifically, entrants had to create their own original love/Valentine’s-themed Robot Master or equivalent boss character that was created to defeat Mega Man with the power of love! Even though the theme title and concept alluded more to the classic Robot Master character contests, designs for any series were acceptable. But other than one Navi and one Reploid entry, everyone stuck to a Classic-series themed creation. So you were all pretty consistent! 

There were a total of 16 entries for this category this year. Thank you all for your participation! It was extremely hard to choose winners for this category, because you all had really clever and creative concepts based off of this theme. So thank you for thinking up such clever and cool characters!!

Also thanks to Reploid 21XX for the coloring book prizes and for some additional insight. 

Again, raffle prize winners will be contained in both posts, so keep an eye out between your name and your art. Not all raffle prize winners are contained in this post. I’ll be contacting all winners soon enough, so sit tight! Might be late after work tonight, so don’t panic if you don’t hear from me right after this is posted.

Your category winners and full gallery of entries are right here, after the break:

Category 1 (Talent) -  Dr. Wily’s Greatest Creation: Killing Mega Man With Kindness

[Full Talent Gallery]

1.) @mo-sketchbook​:

*For coming in 1st, mo-sketchbook has won $100 via Paypal, or a prize of their choice up to that value AND a Rockman 7 Coloring Book.*

First and foremost, I appreciate all the effort you put into covering so many aspects of your creation, from the various design viewpoints, weapon get form for Mega Man, and showing the weapon in action. I really loved all the things you integrated into the design to give off the feeling that it is a love-based character. The “love bug” form, cherub-like Heat/Plug-type facial features, and how you utilized hearts in different ways for his design and powers. 

I’m no Keiji Inafune, but I feel like this is a concept he would greenlight, in terms of it following his Robot Master design formula. It doesn’t need to be super detailed or flashy, but still fits the mold very well! The thought of the hearts missing their target and love energy then getting weaker is actually pretty clever, too. Cute, and I wuv it. 

2.) @peachycircuits​:

*For coming in 2nd, peachy has won $50 via Paypal, or a prize of their choice up to that value AND a Rockman 7 Coloring Book*

As usual, on the technical side of things, your art is one of the more polished and clean entries of the bunch. Combining a couple different aspects - swans as a creature known as a symbol of love, bonded for life like in marriage, and turning that into an inseparable pair of Robot Masters, was a clever way to think about your design, in terms of the theme of this category. 

And then echoing that with the iconic Swan Lake, making them ballet dancers, is like taking Tundra Man and Gemini Man’s concept up another notch. Plus, not gonna lie, amused seeing Mega Man getting equipped with a tutu. LOL So even if it’s not as heart-themed as most of the other entries, I totally liked how you thought outside the box a little bit for this. 

3.) Komito Amae:

*For coming in 3rd, Komito has won $25 via Paypal, or a prize of their choice up to that value*

I figured a cupid-styled arrow theme would pop up in a bunch of entries, but your Reploid, Beta, here caught my eye. Both in terms of the hearts, arrows and wings incorporated into her armor, and the pretty sweet looking buster that she and X both have equipped. 

While I’m not sure how it would play out in the game, I think it would be interesting to suddenly take control of random enemies in a stage, and be able to change perspective as them for a short time, after you have shot them. Whether it would be to take out an enemy horde, or perform a task X can’t that the enemy could, it would be different! Can’t see it quite having the same powerful effect on a Maverick boss, but it’s certainly neat to think about how that could work!

And the rest of the wonderful entries, in alphabetical order by alias: 

@autobot-bumblebee​:

*Raffle Prize Winner*  Dreamwave Comics: Issue 4 Page 15

I’m sorry you didn’t win a cash prize this time! Please don’t take me hostage! I totally loved the creative vintage chocolate factory mascot backstory, along with making your entry like an Ariga-styled character sheet page. Certainly get that retro feel with her clothing design. Her rose blade kinda reminds me of other hand-turned-blade-like-weapon characters, such as Alan Gabriel in the Big O or Ed transmuting one in FMA. Which is always a snazzy transformation for a robot!

@drewblossom​:

In all honesty, if I hadn’t placed you in the humor category, I think this would have very likely been somewhere in the top 3 for this category. A cuddly teddy bear with a massive Ariga-Quick Man-sized heart for a chest, extending flailing tube arms, who just wants to hug Mega Man to death is so amusing and awesome of a design. Hugs for everyone!

FluffyFrostyFury:

Your take of heat-seeking arrows and the added high jump powers were certainly a different take compared to the other cupid-styled creations. Definitely would be nice gameplay bonuses when equipped. I like how Mega Man also has the wings sprout out of his head, to mimic Cherub Woman’s pigtails, rather than the usual spot you would assume, on his back. 

HealerCharm:

Hahaha, I love how your creation has caused Mega Man to wave the white flag after falling in love...wait, it isn’t White Day, and he should be giving her a gift if it was! XD Her hair tied up into a heart was a creative touch, much like how her dress flows into all those heart shapes. Adorable!

@inanehipsterslang​:

Um, can...can I count on you to vote for Bernie this election year?

Remember kids, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, looks don’t matter. Everyone deserves love, even those you consider ‘vermin.’ This was certainly an unexpected take on the theme, and gave me a good laugh, too. ‘Boiling-hot water...with a hint of citrus!’ It burns, but it smells so lemony-fresh!! XD But the two different moves fit together well, to protect and attack. 

I like how you still incorporated a heart shape into Rodent Woman’s design with, both in her chest shape and the “nostril” area which is echoed in the Rodent Rover. And also props for giving her the non-armor form, unique compared to other entries. 

Mattasaurs:

On the one hand, your design feels so different for a Robot Master, and maybe more Navi-like. But then I get the Astro/Galaxy-type eye vibe, and sort of a Plant Man~ish body with Devil hands feel, and see how it’d fit into Classic. It’s a unique look, and I liked it the more I inspected it. I really do love the idea of the heart bubble entrapping more and more enemies, and the big ol’ group hug ending up bursting their love bubble. It’s a different concept that stood out!

Minnie:

Our Navi of the bunch combined the love bug and cupid design, but your concept changed up the attack to suck out the energy of it’s target. Which almost made me think she should have an arrow-like mosquito nose, to feast on her target that way. XD I liked your wing shield concept and RiCO-styled skirt of hearts. Rock gets some cool shades in his Love Soul/Cross form, and I get the ProtoSoul vibe, with the shield transferring to his arm as well.

@pstart​:

Another Heat/Plug-type design Share Man looks cute and sleepy, but is also “clumsy and weak.” His ability is to share body parts, so “the danger is in him sharing his less than ideal parts with his opponents.” It’s a totally neat concept, to see Mega Man lose his buster almost by accident, and now be powerless to stop Share Man. His split color scheme drives home the concept that his parts might not all be his own, and sort of a Frankenstein bot at times. Props to that idea!

While his weapon gives Mega Man the power to make enemies docile and sleepy, I really almost want to see Mega Man get dumb parts of enemies, too! Helmet switched to a Met helmet, Batton wings, a big Suzy eye! It’s now I’ve got your power...but...but what am I supposed to do with it? XD

RetroNinjin:

Unlike most others, your entry pushed the heart theme heavily in her armor design around the entire head and shoulder parts, so I definitely felt the love vibe. The color scheme fits well. Just would have liked to have had seen a little more information about her attack and concept.

RoninApprentice:

Mega Man having a “Wing Man” to set him up is a hilarious and clever idea! I give you kudos for thinking outside the box a bit on your concept and theme here. The shipping chart certainly drives the idea home, too. You still give him a classy/formal look, and keep the wing man aviation origin apparent in his attack style. Certainly a different idea having the heart bowtie transfer to Rock’s helmet in the form change, but it really doesn’t look that bad there, opposed to around his neck like it would be normally.

@star-crossed-swords​:

Different from the other cupid concepts, Eros Woman utilizes a Search-Man like targeting system to hit her targets. I like the heart scope addition over her and Rock’s eye when they go into firing mode. You took a different approach to the wing concept compared to others, echoing Cinnamon’s hairstyle in many respects. But it certainly fits with the rest of her design nicely, and looks good for Mega Man’s equipped form.

@star-shaped-soul:

Love that you were able to both include a drawing and your own sprite, to mix in with the weapon equip ones. That is one powerful crush Mega Man has on his enemies now! I feel bad for Crush Man with how big and heavy those snare trap hands of his are. This seems like a Robot Master too cute for Wily to design; more like he stole him and added horrible, cruel hands onto him! This is taking a crush on someone to a whole different level! XD

Yuri Kadry:

When equipped with Cupid Man’s power, I like the visor Mega Man gets. I think this is also a clever use of the weapon, having enemies shot attracted to one another, causing them to collide into each other. Well thought out! Love the original sprite art, and he stands out nicely against the pinks and purples in the background.

The problem with Megaman NT Warrior Axess.

As some of you already know, I finished reviewing the first season of the Rockman.EXE anime aka Megaman Nt Warrior. People have been asking me if I am planning to review the next season of the show that is Axess. The truth is that I have mixed feelings towards Axess because it is very different from the first season. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the show and I know the anime wouldn’t have been successful without Axess. There are a lot of things that I like, but also a lot of things that I don’t like, and if I were to review the episodes in order, it would be best if I got some issues I have with this season out of the way to avoid unnecessary ranting. (Unless you guys like my ranting for some reason)

1. The tone.

I personally like to call Axess the “experimental” season because it feels like it doesn’t even know if it should become a more mature anime or keep the innocent and sometimes goofy nature of the first season. One moment it has some silly situations and funny new characters, and in the next we have our beloved characters going through emotional traumas and being threaten with guns! Not space era guns like the ones the Net Agents had, but real guns. The biggest examples are Enzan and Mariko-sensei. For a kids action show, we get a lot of unnecessary drama, specially between Mariko and her long lost sister who she thought had died many years ago, only to come back and die in front of her twice, or having someone mistake her for Yuriko. I just think they could’ve written something better.

2. Unrecognizable past.

Axess tries to be a little more mature in tone and as a result it completely rewrites the first season like it never happened, at least, not in the way we remember. Changes like the plug-in PETs being replaced by the Advanced PETs that were just starting development in one of the last episodes of the previous season. However, they do mention the N-1 Grand Prix, Netto’s first meeting with Raoul, and the fact that Forte is now walking around in the real world in the former Gospel leader robot body, so that means the first season did happen, but differently? Going back to the tone issue, we get this conflict between Enzan and Blues who becomes corrupted by a Dark Chip that I personally find pretty boring because, one, we already know that Enzan cares about Blues ever since the Pharaohman incident, and two, I don’t care about this “new” Enzan enough to be interested in his life story more than the other characters. (Read the end of my review of episode 55 to see what I mean by new.) If the first season did happen, then why do we need to go into Enzan’s consciousness to see why Blues means so much to him, he didn’t seem to care much before the N-1, did he just forgot? He actually tells Netto after Rockman was deleted that he used to believe that Navis were just data. Some of the events from the first season don’t fit in well with Axess’s storyline making it very confusing.

3. Getting rid of old characters.

Another change was suddenly getting rid of some of the characters in the very first episode. Throughout the first season we follow the adventures of Netto and his group of friends comprised of Meiru, Dekao, Yaito and Tohru, as well as their Net Navis, but in Axess, Dekao suddenly decides to move to Jawaii to train with the Ex-WWW (who I don’t need to remind you that they are bad people) and leaves his little brother Chisao in Japan for some reason. Yaito moves back to Kingland to continue her studies or something, but then what was the point in moving to Japan from England (Kingland before it was a thing) in the first place?. And Tohru.... Well, he is still around, but let’s just say that he is not part of the group as much as before. Speaking of Tohru, Iceman gets a downgrade, he is now viewed more like a small child who hangs around with another small child like character, and less of a competent Navi that is capable of helping Rockman and the others to fight, which becomes very uncomfortable if you are used to his voice from the Dub.

The Net Agents are replaced with the Net Police as they were probably viewed as too silly for the new mature Rockman anime. So Axess sends them abroad with nothing but their space era guns only to return for a couple of episodes, one to remind us of the love triangle between Mariko-sensei, Higure and Masa as Commander Beef, and another just for Rockman to get Wood Soul from Woodman, which replaces the Style change in Axess.

4. Cross Fusion.

A drastic change, however, comes in the form of Cross Fusion. It might be hard to believe, considering all my CF design ideas, but I am not a fan of this concept. My theory is that Cross Fusion is a bold move the writers made to make the show more action like and appealing to young boys. In America, super hero cartoons are very popular, so in order to profit a little from that, the series had to be slightly modified to include more super hero transformation sequences and make the audience relate to Netto by fusing him with Rockman. Because Rockman is a computer program, kids can’t really relate to him, so they passed that torch onto Netto who basically takes over the show as the hero.

I don’t like this because I love Rockman, he is my hero and the main character, I never cared if I could relate to him or not, you relate with Netto as the human who develops a bond with an A.I. program that is loyal, always does the right thing, and does what he can to protect his friends. The whole point of the show is that they are best friends and their bond is what makes them a strong team, but even if Cross Fusion claims to be the result of that bond, it mostly just feels like it’s just Netto wearing Rockman as an armor.

There is also the problem with the action scenes in Cross Fusion. Not only do we get the same formula over and over again in Axess, but the battles are not as good as the ones in the Cyberworld. When you see Rockman fight, he jumps around, evades attacks, delivers punches and kicks when it’s necesary, making his fights entertaining. Netto on the other hand... Doesn’t really know how to fight, he relies more on brute force, the power of his chips, and almost never dodges attacks, the only thing that CF battles have going for them is the amount of damage they bring to the real world.

Anyway, these are just my opinions, but I’ll let you decide whether or not I review the Axess episodes in order, or have me review certain episodes from that or other seasons of Rockman.EXE.

Summary:

Zero isn’t an asset. It’s a person. Ten minutes later, a reploid walks out from the elevators and beelines towards Samarth’s cubicle. Specifically, a reploid wearing flashy red armor with gold accents likened to an obnoxious sports car, questionable gem placements, blond hair for days, and a pair of sharp blue eyes on a face that Samarth wouldn’t be surprised if it has its own insurance.

In which a human accountant has to deal with the literal money blackhole that is Zero after the Rebellion.

I’ve been receiving a couple writing commissions lately and this one was super fun to write! 

Personally. I think if the IRS caught onto the Hunters before Sigma’s Rebellion, the Hunters would have gone down ala Al Capone style XD

This one mostly goes in tandem with each of the individual characters & their animal companions, but seeing all four of them with Super Adapter forms would be super cool

Proto Man is with Tango (obviously) and Roll is with Beat

The only thing I really want to see design-wise is Proto Man ending up with cat ears but the rest is up to your discretion!

Alternatively, I'm also here for the four of them just. hanging out. Whether it's peaceful or not, in a park or in Dr. Light's living room, I like it when these robot kids can just be kids. Even if it's probably a little strange for Bass to be around if he's not fighting.

(I'm also 100% here for the individual robot-animal pairs below to be in further groups, like as one example Rock & Rush AND Roll & Beat in a picture together.)

Forte | Bass & Gospel | Treble:

There's only two things Bass cares about in this world: Treble and beating Mega Man.

I don't know if it's entirely possible to make a fluffy robot, but if so. Treble is a big ol' floofer.

genuinely i would love to see Bass meeting Treble for the first time

Blues | Proto Man & Tango:

Ah yes, a catboy and his cat

Despite being a robot cat, Tango still commits Cat Crimes and demands Love.

"You KICK tango?? You kick his body like the football??"

Roll & Beat:

Yes part of the reason she's with the bird is because it was the only one left. But also it compliments Rock & Rush, being another blue-red pair but it's red human and blue animal instead of blue human and red animal

...bird on head...

Mimicking expressions is always fun (whether it's Roll copying Beat or the other way around)

give beat a gun

Rockman | Mega Man & Rush:

Soft/domestic stuff of just a boy and his dog. Taking him for a walk, dog in lap on the couch, playing in the yard, chasing dog chasing squirrel or similar, whatever you desire

I just think Rock deserves to have the chance to play with his dog like any normal kid

Blues | Proto Man & Quake Woman "Tempo":

Neither of them are great at the whole "expressing emotions" thing and sometimes emotions are hard to figure out.

(no, battery acid is not an emotion. arson is not an emotion either.)

Hatsune Miku jokes? (Tempo has the hair and look me dead in the eye and tell me Blues hasn't listed to Vocaloid, I dare you)

In general there's definitely sibling energy and it only grows as they understand themselves more and get better at emotions

Feel free to add in Dr. Lalinde and/or Vesper Woman too! I know they're not tagged so they should be more in the background but still.

Alternative idea, AU where Blues doesn't run away so Light introduces him to Lalinde and Tempo and the duo sort of "grow up" together and learn about the world. or something.

Quake Woman "Tempo":

tempo my beloved. General thoughts/ideas:

Action shot, hair go fwoosh (maybe partway through armoring up?)

Day-to-day work cataloging

Something from before her personality wipe

Exploration of the still-present fears that Dr. Lalinde might erase her personality again and of being trapped or buried again

Request 2 - Crossover Fandom. Bass, Treble, and Metal Sonic

DNW: Shipping, more focus on Wily and/or Eggman than their creations

This one might be a little out there, but despite both being in Worlds Collide and their creators collaborating, we didn't actually see much of them. I know it's probably cause the focus isn't on them (and to be fair issue 11 is more or less all about them but it's a fight scene) but still. They should be friends =)

Various thoughts/ideas:

Almost certainly just in Worlds Collide, if you don't know the premise there's places you can read it (or watch/listen to dubs of the crossover)

Metal doesn't have a voice so he can't really talk to Bass which makes things like communication and staving off boredom harder. Bass decides the best solution to this is to steal someone else's voicebox because the docs can always make another.

"do you wanna play minecraft" (it doesn't have to be minecraft but this concept has been rotating in my head like a rotisserie chicken on and off for the last two months and the game of choice was minecraft)

Solidarity over hating your dad's other creations (who needs all those other robots when you're here and awesome, right?)

Maybe references to the off-panels? Sonic Universe #51("Failed Concept 1") and Sonic Universe #54("Metal and Bass") in particular, they're on Sonic News Network and Mega Man Knowledge Base

Bass can and will hold things above his head because Metal is like a full foot shorter. This works right up until Metal decides to show he can fly.

Treble pillow...

Request 3 - Lego Ninjago

DNW: Hurt/No Comfort, Zane being subjected to more physical damage because god knows he gets enough from the show itself

General note, I like the idea that the coffee bot from Wu's Teas is named LATT3. Came from someone else, can't remember who, but it's simple and fun. Also you don't have to draw them in the Lego style, make them more human-shaped if your heart desires.

Zane/P.I.X.A.L.:

I'm genuinely surprised they have the most stable and functional relationship in the show but I'm not complaining, they're great

I feel like they would be the type to lean on each other while sitting on the couch reading books

Considering P.I.X.A.L. didn't have a physical form for a while, physical touch is probably super important. Leaning on each other, holding hands, hugs, forehead presses, all of it.

Zane & Echo Zane:

Could meet each other for the first time and deal with the emotions that follow

Mr. E = Echo Zane, recontextualize that fight from Season 8 and make Season 9 more painful >:)

Robot lads with birds...

Echo Zane & Coffee Bot (LATT3):

This one is entirely due to an AU I was gonna write but never did ^^; basically Echo gets off the island much sooner and sort of takes Zane's place in Season 4 and eventually joins the team. He gets taken and becomes Mr. E, and he doesn't die at the end but he's left dealing with the consequences like stealing the Oni mask and hurting people

Echo: *starts telling LATT3 his life story because he's having a crisis* LATT3: Sir this is a coffee shop, I don't know how to help

doesn't have to be from this AU, I'm also totally fine with just a couple robots hanging out. ice skating is fun :)

Echo Zane:

seagulls!! This kid likes seagulls. Zane has his falcon, Echo has the gulls.

I also have the feeling he'd like the color purple cause it wouldn't be something he'd see often on the island. Only in the sunsets, really.

Maybe he's Mr. E? Maybe it's just him and Tai-D/Gizmo on the island? have fun with it

Zane:

We haven't seen the falcon in a while so that's an option

Could call back to the second half of Season 11 and dealing with the consequences of all that

Maybe he's just being cool B)

P.I.X.A.L.

Ah yes, local holder of the ninja braincell my beloved

Maybe she's working on something for the team, or maybe she's just being cool on her own

I feel like her defeating a (albeit weakened) Preeminent doesn't get enough press considering it was basically just her in a mech suit

tour of zane's head....

Coffee Bot (LATT3):

What's her thoughts on the whole "rivalry" that happened with Wu's Teas?

local starbucks robot questioning job decision

tbh the idea of her watching on in disdain as a coffee shop AU happens before her eyes is really funny

Request Set 4 - Rockman X | Mega Man X

DNW: Shipping as the main focus, Axl/anyone ships

Axl & Pallette:

A duo of troublemakers for R&D and the hunters in general :D

I have an ongoing headcanon that during one weapons test, they sort of... blew a hole in the wall. Not to the outside world, but into a hallway in HQ. Signas was not happy.

You know those unused nav lines from X8? those could be fun

Pallette & Cinnamon:

Ah yes, the girls that are most often assigned as Axl's girlfriend. I think they should be friends on their own

Maybe Pallette's interested in Cinnamon's Force Metal Generator, or maybe the Command Mission group is at HQ for some reason and they spot one another

(I know the tag isn't for the ship but I don't mind light shipping here. Friendship should still be the focus though.)

Axl & Red:

RED ALERT FOUND FAMILY MY BELOVED

just. Red is Axl's dad or dad-figure, we all know this

Red doesn't even have to be there in person, he can be there in spirit (take this as literally as you want), maybe Axl has his scythe?

What happened on the day Red found Axl? Red himself won't go into detail... (there's reference to it on the wiki, page is Ōgon no Hibi)

maybe they're just killing people together

Axl & Alia:

Maybe how she viewed him when Axl first ended up at Hunter HQ?

Or just dealing with him being around and curious about things

Not super mother-son, more like younger brother-older sister with how they act (mostly Axl, he's not in the market for a new parental figure)

Well, at least when it's not combined with...

Alia & Gate:

I like the theory that Gate and/or his research was a major contributing factor in Axl's creation. And Alia knows it.

> yes i'm bringing up Axl here to can you tell he's my favorite

Specifically I'm in the camp of "Gate lived after X6, taken into government custody, and because he was the only one that understood the research was tasked with using it to create the new generation of Reploids"

Axl wasn't the first reploid Gate made, but he was the first successful prototype, with the nickname "Epsilon"

> I am aware Epsilon exists in Command Mission but apparently it might actually be Upsilon??

Despite everything that happened between them, Gate and Alia worked together trying to create a program resistant to viruses and corruption, and as such, are both able to "directly control" Axl by simply asking him to do something. They can override other orders and bend his will to listen, even if he really didn't want to.

Alternatively, it might be fun to see how things were between Alia and Gate before it all started going downhill. Or maybe even partway through the downhill, what with Alia helping destroy some of Gate's creations

Axl:

catboy

Seeing things from his perspective is fun

White Axl...? Perhaps?

Pallette:

honestly feel free to change her hair color so she's not blonde since there's already so many blondes

background appearance from Douglas...? who's been hiding in R&D because the drama X and Zero bring is a lot sometimes

Let this girl go guns blazing into combat >:)

Cinnamon:

catgirl

"I'm a healer, but..."

let cinnamon go through her emo phase

It's leaked the Megaman Man of Action's poster with the Robot Masters included. Check the protodude Rockman's Corner. I want to know what do you think about the Megaman's Robot Masters design and the poster. Tell me the thoughts...

I have talked to Pen Pen about Man of ACtion before, and despite our…individual design choices, we’re choosing to remain optimistic. When Mega Man gets shit on with cancellations after cancellations, fans become starved for more, or rather, more “quality content”. When Mega Man 11 came out, we were both excited for different reasons, and mine was “MORE NET NAVIS!” (lol)

But if you want me to go off on every individual design, get ready, things are about to get controversial.

Fire Man: Dude, this dude looks so goddamn cool. I hope he doesn’t become Ruby Spears’ Guts Man, all brawn and no brain. I love that despite the body overhaul from working out at the gym so much, they kept his head design. I didn’t know his mouthpiece was removable ala Hitoshi Ariga (MegaMan Megamix), but I always loved it to death.

Ice Man: He…uh…dude looks like Leisure Suit Larry. The thing with Ice Man was that in all incarnations, even EXE, EXCEPT Captain N or whatever, he was like the cutest. Like the tiny brother. THis guy looks like he’d want to get with my girl depending on the actions you take. 

Wave Man: Is that a…a kappa? He looks kinda like Mega Water S to me. But he still looks the same to me, just taller and lankier. YEah, looks more like Mega Water S than his original.

Drill Man/Crash Man: I’d say this is probably Crash Man because he’s orange, but you never know. I think Drill Man is Cossack’s thing iirc. That said…you can’t really tell if this is supposed to be Drill Man because he’s got Drills for DAYZ, or Crash Man because not only does he have Drillz for dayz but also he orange. Hard to tell. Problem is that I actually thought at first this was Magma Man. Body-face type Robot Masters is a common design throughout the years, so it’s a bit…weird to see a human-type Robot Master become a body-face type. Still, this is my second favorite next to Fire Man.

???: WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?! *Arin’s Zelda voice* Is that a FAIRY?! (And you wouldn’t happen to have the green stone from the forest, would you? If you had that, I’d blow you right now!) Seriously, who the fuck is that? It’s like someone took Moira’s head onto Mercy’s body and turned her into a robot master. She looks pissed. Or he? I can’t tell if that is a man or woman.

Mega Man: Smug ass piece of shit he look huh mate? Not gonna lie, I hate the face. Love the armor. They really tried to keep it close to his original design, but changed the coloring and the accents. This is a bold new take compared to super cylinders with spandex or…whatever the fuck Captain N is. Honestly, I’m so down to clown with this.

When I first saw the poster appearing on my dash, I had mixed feelings. But at the same time I thought, “oh shit it’s getting closer, huh?” Recently, I tried to play OG Mega Man again and realized HOW MUCH I SUCKED. I tried to get myself to watch the Ruby Spears cartoon and realized HOW MUCH IT SUCKED. Truly, all I have to Mega Man is just Battle Network nowadays…oh, but I was pretty okay with everythnig else, like X, Zero, Legends.

So tldr; some of these designs are hit and miss. I love they introduced a seemingly-new character in the poster on its own, but I hope it doesn’t go the Transformers Animated route (I don’t give a shit about humans, just give me the robots vs robot fights). I’m choosing to remain optimistic since Mega Man has been my idol and hero since I first started watching the cartoons back in the 90s, coming home from preschool to watch this shit.

I can’t speak for everyone in the fandom, but a reminder not to judge a book by its cover. Not everything that glitters is gold, but it’s still fucking pretty, right? SOnic Boom may have been a shit game, but the cartoon has been one of the most enjoyable I have ever watched. Give this show a chance, and you’ll find that everything always has its own redeeming qualities. Take off the nostalgia goggles and look at these things…subjectively? Objectively?…With an open mind. THEN formulate your own opinion on it.

This is Kaji M., signing out.
