Mega Man Recut, Season 3: The Teleportation Race, Part 2

The first thing Quint did after he, Kalinka, Beat, and Punk had freed themselves from the Shadow Blades was call Dr. Cossack on his video communicator. Quint dreaded telling Dr. Cossack about what had happened, but to his amazement, Dr. Cossack was not upset.

"This is fantastic. Teleportation, what an incredible invention!" murmured Dr. Cossack, thoroughly impressed.

"…I'm not in trouble?" Quint asked anxiously. Punk had hidden himself in a far corner of the laboratory so that Dr. Cossack would not see him, and Kalinka had changed out of her Mega Girl armor as she stood next to Quint, Beat perched on her shoulder.

Dr. Cossack shook his head. "Of course not, there was not much you could have done. Shadow Man has an inconvenient talent of being a nuisance wherever he pleases. In fact, I think this is more my fault, I think I know what he wants."

Using a temporary chapter art for now, maybe make something better later~

So, about Gamma.

With so many personalities in one robot, how do they manage to keep themselves together? Here's how I think it works! (With pictures too!)

So here we see the hierarchy within Gamma, Gamma/DWLN-24A at the very top with everyone else below. However, DWLN-24A lacks his own personality so he needs to borrow the personalities of the 7 other robots. But since all 7 have different and conflicting personalities, they can't present them all together.

(Or else you get a lazy, narcissistic, abrasive, foul mouthed, spiteful, luck pushing, forgetful robot! That's not material for a world peace robot)

It would be way to easy for all the bad traits of the 3rd numbers to stack within Gamma, therefore, DWLN-24A has a special system to sort all the traits that exist within themselves.

Some traits are dominant, while other traits are recessive. (That's right! It's inheritance!)

No matter how many recessive negative traits there may be, the dominant trait will always be presented.

However, if there's only recessive and neutral traits...

Ok i couldn't actually think of an instance where only a negative trait and neutral traits are present. (Spark man your traits are way too dominant!)

So here's just an example, if we counted "looking down on bad dancers" as a bad trait rather than an opinion.

Usually a negative trait will be recessive while positive traits will be dominant. However, not all traits can be categorised as good or bad. Like opinions, so in that case the dominance of an opinion is based on how strongly a robot feels about it.

Which can cause issues sometimes!

You may or may not notice that the problem child here seems to be snake man...which may or may not be foreshadowing.

The thing is, after staying in the same being for so long. Eventually, they'll start kinda...blurring into each other. Losing their individuality. They become more and more what Gamma needs to be. Unused traits don't even show up anymore...and it kinda looks like this

This visual seems really depressing actually...damn. I outdid myself! (jk)

You may also notice the grey text, that represents a neutral trait. When they're only neutral traits, DWLN-24A simply takes the average of all the statements.

After years of being Gamma, most statements are only neutral now. Traits are already permanent, Gamma is very sure about who they are. The 3rd numbers don't feel strongly about much anymore.

Do you understand why Shadow man is so upset now? This is actually horrific...

Tune in next time to see what happens when one of the blurs actually remembers who he used to be and starts causing problems!

Just in time for Mega Man's thirty-sixth anniversary, I've whipped up a wallpaper themed after Mega Man 3, sized at a comfy 1280x720— I think that this one may just be my most detail-oriented anniversary wallpaper yet... as well as my favorite, too! 💙✨

Robot Master Roster!

All-Star Mega Man, coming soon

[insanekirby]

Watch me decide all the robots in the Megas’ best album (History Repeating: Red) are transfem.

Mega Man (“Fly on a Dog,” “Make Your Choice,” “I Refuse (to Believe)”)

Depressed living weapon is a trope that automatically feels at least a little transfeminine. And despite being a living weapon, he refuses to kill Dr. Wily in the end, choosing not to be the killer he was born/built to be.

Some notable lyrics:

“Though you stand beside me, I feel alone” - No matter how many people (or robot dogs who are jets) you surround yourself with, it feels very isolating to have no other trans woman friends.

“Father hides the truth, in fear / Maybe if he ignores it, we'll disappear. / Why did he give me voice? / And still choose not to hear me, just white noise”

“And now you want to know / What you're supposed to be / Stop pretending you don't have a choice / Only that can set you free” - Start HRT now

Hard Man (“Harder Than Steel”)

“The Hard Man’s gotten soft” - Yeah. Spironolactone will do that to you.

Shadow Man (“Afraid of the Dark”)

Another sad living weapon although the interesting thing with Shadow Man is that his programming instead of his hardware is what’s making him a weapon. There’s an interesting (unintended) reading you could create that his murder programming is akin to conversion therapy. You could also look at the slow erosion of Shadow Man’s original mind as being like the fear that puberty will turn you into something that actively disgusts you.

"I can feel the good in me is dying slow" - Literally how it feels to grow facial hair

Admittedly, no specific lyric makes Shadow Man sound particularly trans. It's more about the concept of the song than any one particular line he says.

Needle Man (“The Haystack Principle”)

The third a final living weapon. This one is more straightforward than Shadow Man or Mega Man. “The Haystack Principle” is all about Needle Man despising that his body is designed for combat while his thoughts/circuitry want something else. It’s kinda…literally about dysphoria.

There’s also an implication that Needle Man wants Mega Man to kill him, and, unfortunately, suicide is common for trans people who aren’t given anything to deal with their dysphoria.

“It's in my design / It's not my circuitry" - Needle Man establishes a distinction between physiology and what he actually wants to be.

“You'll never see me / behind this killer's face / These aren't my hands / These needles take their place”

“Would you believe this isn't me / That what you get isn't what you see”

“It's hard to blame them / I even scare myself / Built to kill seems to / be detrimental to my health” - Not me blaming myself for being unwelcome in women’s spaces😭

I really had to be selective about quotes. This song is really transfem.

Gemini Man (“GeminEye”)

This one is literally plural, which - based on the women I follow - seems to be unusually common for trans women. One alter repeatedly addresses the other but only ever refers to him as “Gemineye” instead of Gemini Man. Seems that someone has a preferred name that happens to be less specifically male. That alter also claims that someone wants him dead, which is…sadly a very real concern for trans women.

“Gemineye / I forget my name / So I'm taking yours” - Even the alter that isn't already named Gemineye decides to choose a new name.

Proto Man (“I’m Not the Breakman,” “Make Your Choice,” “Melody from the Past”)

Proto Man doesn’t actually lean specifically transfem and more just generally trans. A lot of his lines sound super transmasc because he’s a male character, but he works equally well as a transfem allegory. His story is about feeling rejected by a parent and choosing to make his own path - that can work for any flavor of trans.

Anyways, Proto Man gets some trans-ass lyrics. Like, the entire bridge of “I’m Not the Breakman” is about Proto Man choosing a new name (and asserting that he isn’t broken).

“If you’re The One / My father’s son / Then what am I supposed to be?”

“I’ve met my maker and the man’s a liar”

“An apology so sorry for the man he was / For the father he couldn't be / That I would not be what I was built to be”

“Though my fate is broken my path I cannot see / Though you are the chosen / I'll make my own history”

Was there a point to any of this? Not particularly.

Edgy reboot styled Needle Man

[decaffeinated-heads]

Thank you @noise-reblogs for the idea! I've been meaning to draw them

A bit more in detail response below (no drawings though sorry lol)

The mm3 robot masters are the least volatile towards on another compared to the mm1 and mm2 robot masters. Unlike with the mm1 robot masters (in my headcannon) being like family to eachother, the mm3 feel like coworkers, or even friends. With the mm2, they don't get along because they were not made to: because Wily made them for destroying megaman, they don't feel the need to get along. Mm1 fight sometimes because siblings fight (and it's really funny), of course they do.

The mm3 have some clashing personalities or ideas, but they are pretty understanding of eachother- or at least Shadow man is. Of course there are still mm3 robot masters that refuse to be in the same room, like snake and gemini.
