Sorry for text dumping all of these back to back. It will happen again.
Missing in Action (Robot Master Concepts)
There’s so many of these guys, barring that 9-11 came out after battle network was already finished as a franchise…
Missing Robot Masters from 1-11 and what I’m doing with them
1/PU: Oilman and Timeman (Solo Navis that end up operated by Kalinka. Timeman was abandoned by his previous Operator (turns out to be Lalinde) and Oilman simply decided to quit his job.)
How about Bondman?
He’s used by a artist to advertise comics. (Lol.)
2: Crash Man- I have not played Chrono X and am trying to not think about it so i’ll be sticking as close to classic canon as possible and just have Crash Man be a demolitions expert. Possibly a solo Navi made by Wily for WWW that didn’t get the memo they disbanded. (A lot of Navis end up like this.)
Maybe gets an operator later on…?
Operator would probably be either hotheaded like Crashman or someone prone to mood swings. Maybe also in construction work.
Copy Robot is basically repped by CopyMan and Dark Megaman but I think the idea of a hopelessly idealistic Megaman wandering the net sounds fun!
Until I remember this is the one where he’s being hunted down. Needless to say Copy Mega quickly sours to the whole idea and basically becomes Bass with a grudge against Megaman because he has Megaman’s memories. It would make more sense for the grudge to be against Lan but (shrugs.)
Literally everything Gate does to try and help Megaman ends up with more Megaman copies looking to delete him.
I sadly can’t put photos of everyone as much as I want to lest this post crash.
3: Gemini Man would be two different Navis both operated by Piano and W.Waltz. Who are sisters.
I could adhere to screwing with canon and put in Yuna and Sera but I’ve never played a Legends game so I don’t want them to end up OOC. (Same reason why I only listed Mavericks based on designs I found interesting….)
Originally a Navi created for experimental purposes, when the lab was suddenly shut down due to an out of control NetNavi (hm.) they wandered around aimlessly until finding the sisters and deciding to use their powers for mostly harmless pranks.
Doc Robot is someone trying to replicate Bass’s get ability (It’s Gate again) by having him cannibalize other Navis. (Bass can do the same thing but yeahh…..) It’s very much a yikes.
WHERE’S HARDMAN
NOO I FORGOT HIM
(Man, I really do wish Archie got more time past 3 to go in depth to stuff…)
4’s the only one that got a full roster not counting 1 without the PU characters accodding to wiki. On a technicality since Ring is a loose interpretation of RingMan.
5: Wave Man -His netOp ditched him for being so tempermental so he’s just been wandering around the internet and butting heads with pirate man.
Crystal Man- Remember when Skull Man’s operator (Miyuki?) had a crystal ball well I’m going to introduce her as an apprentice and that’s all I got
• 6- Centuar Man: I’m thinking since he was made as a museum guide he’ll keep doing that until he was modified for combat by his operator in order to help out when there was a sudden attack
7-Burst Man, Spring Man. (I did not come up with a concept.)
8- Grenade Man, Astro Man, Clown Man(I swear these two weren’t there before.) You’re thinking about Circus Man and Galaxy guy… idk his name. Cosmo?
& Bass: Pirate Man Solo Navi. He’s a pirate. Need I say more?
Will he have a shitty pirate accent (yeah)
Dynamo Man- Sticking to canon and keeping Dynamo Man as a tour guide Navi who was modified for combat, but I’m not making him electrocute children. (Some descriptions in Bass were…interesting.)
I’m going to say “screw it” and pair him with an OC I had created for a Megaman based universe where she was basically a crybaby who had powers similar to Gunvolt. Actually, she might pair with Dynamo Man better.
9- These Navis actually think Sigma might be right until he reveals he’s completely evil
Magma Man- Mr. Match: Another Fire Navi to add to my collection
Concrete Man, Tornado Man, Splash Woman, Plug Man ,Jewel Man, Hornet Man, Magma Man, Galaxy Man, Bonus Ocean Man, Bonus Honey Woman
Since I never made a scenario for all of them what if I just go and say that Dr.Hikari (LAN’s dad) made these robots like dr. Light does for 9 but they ended up scrapped somewhere along the way and brought back to life?
10- So this one has the Sigma Virus be more of a prevalent thing since Sigma was physically destroyed but he still exists in the chip. I think the 9 and 10 RMs end up sandwiched in between 2 and 3 because of scenario 3. Unless I make a scenario 4, which really doesn’t make much sense timeline wise.
Blade Man, Pump Man, Commando Man, Chill Man
Sheep Man( A mokolov mutated into sheep man and befriended a human being. Hmm.)
Strike Man, Nitro Man, Solar Man
As an aside from listing them all, I feel like the largest problem isn’t exactly converting robot masters to Navi scenarios because you could just use their descriptions and jobs, but finding people to pair them with unless I either go full OC or use Megaman human characters from later in the timeline (alternatively I just start using gunvolt characters but that brings a different issue of “am I writing everyone OOC”?)
11: I feel like these RMs would be the easiest to convert to Navis since they already have so much personality in canon but at the same time that makes them hard since I don’t want them to be retreads. Maybe they’re all allies since the starNavi invasion is happening so I can not have to worry about it so much?
Block Man, Fuse Man, Blast Man, Acid Man, Tundra Man, Torch Man, Impact Man, Bounce Man. Whee. Lists.
What about the Megaman Killers?
I keep their image in because I like Enker for some reason. He's literally a nothing character but he has a neat design.
Punk was already in as a Mr. famous Navi
Enker is another Navi who didn’t get the memo about WWW disbanding and will stop at nothing to delete Megaman. One word at a time. Wily didn’t exactly make him with conversation in mind.
Ballade was actually made much later when Gate was screwing around when he caught Enker and began toying with his data, he was made to be a better version of Enker. He immediately ditched Gate to also go hunt down Megaman because it seemed like fun.
Since X was made to be a copy of megaman that the guys at scilab said deleted the imperfections.. where’d they go?
Copy X would be better for this, but I decided to give Quint a bone.
He can’t stand the fact he has human memories and looks like a copy of Megaman and wants to delete both him and X at any cost.
Notably, the data from Megaman used might be from… a darker source…
COPY MEGAMAN WITH THE SCARF LET"S GOOOOO! (But looking back, I already had him on the list! )
Misc Collection
Some things that don’t fit into any other posts I’ve been collecting info for from my notes from a now defunct server alongside some forums. Some visuals, some ideas regarding extra characters. I rely on concept art and official art to convey my ideas where my own hands lack the ability to.
Tatsumi does have a visual reference in mind, but it’s just that persona protagonist from trinity soul
Tabitha and Tatsumi fits better, but Tatsumi doesn’t fit the internet name theming… I’ll need to give him a nickname or something.
How many bosses is Ann going to beat the shit out of before her evil rival Vile shows up
Ann and her weird pet Prog that DIES fighting Vile and she’s pissed off
If Prog rock is snatching up X and Legends characters , what about Zero?
I can’t write a dark story well, but id assume zero is what happened in between that 200 year gap when Lan made brother bands and someone used them for evil and that’s why NetNavis all ended up in the dump as Sigma’s greatest fear of forced obsolescence came true.
I should include X-over. (Somehow.)
What about Dive?
Pre dive learning: I don’t know anything about dive so I’ve only got basic plots and characters from X
Post dive learning: Are the X Dive characters showing up— Prog Rock was a concept before X Dive and acknowledging it would mess up my outline. Possibly for a sequel series.
Misc extras, main cast?
Sheep man, Starman, Quint
Quake woman, Rose and Gil have Axl, X is independent
Annette’s first friend turned rival has Enker
alternatively: enker is an independent Navi with no human who turns rival because his directive of kill megaman picks up quint as a mega man
Also the randomnest deep cut of all time in which I make Enker only speak necessary words in reference to two evil scientists (webcomic from now defunct smackjeeves).
Annette needs to make friends instead of studying all the time because Quint’s the slacker, who can I use in association that are just spinoff weirdos
The twins have Gemini man, crash man was an independent wrecking the buildings, a blend of mavericks in the scenarios as well
Should enker use his rockman online design? It’s not like I’m gonna draw it though… idk.
Volnutt and his dark counterpart have casket and Tron Bonne, the latter causing the servbot trouble that is the basis for Prog Rock.
Roll Casket made cameo apperances as a figurine which means legends is like… a show or something? I’ll be honest, maybe I shouldn’t touch the franchises I don’t know.
the servbots stay though, the fact that they’re real and not just digital is what causes the progs to start becoming obsolete which then extends to the net navis.
As an aside, I wish battle story got translated in some form. I guess having it in full digital form for the anniversary is better then nothing.
Quint, Enker, Fan, Ballade, and there needs to be a woman Navi or I’ll have to make an OC or something this is dire
Chelsea (from the dreamwave comic) and Aero (from the cancelled Legends 3 game)
Alan (also dreamwave) will have Fan since there’s supposed to be strategy games anyways
im probably the only one who knows what I’m talking about here. So go look up the dreamwave comics and rockman strategy. They're on the megaman wiki.
Continuing from my last post regarding the initial Lan protagonist concept. I can probably adjust this all for Annette. Reupload. Since I want to learn RPG Maker, wouldn't it be neat if I made it there?
Because there’s no cohesive evil group since WWW is no more there’s a lot more room to write things but also more complicated because I need to write out a group of mostly Navi Villains and maybe some humans
Battle Network X2
Put 10 bosses Here somehow
Hey, here’s some humans!
The X hunters were made by someone…?
Berkana puts a hit out on Megaman (this drives most of the plot)
Botches resurrecting Colonel so Baryl gets Signas Instead
Plot essential Megaman Killers(hell yeah)
Berkana is trying to get enough energy to resurrect Sigma but uh oh he’s a zombie
This is all I can think about. Megaman in debt…
Also they’re chasing down Quake Woman for something but I forgot
WAIT I JUST HAD AN INCREDIBLE IDEA
KING IS SIGMA’S SUCCESSOR
King disagrees with Berkana’s idea of simply resurrecting Sigma but more importantly it fits with the whole witch knight theme berkana and gareth have going on
But that only means that it’d be
Dynamo Man and Pirate Man
I didn’t use Astro Man yet
So how about Command Mission though
Scenario: Megaman on the Run
Featuring: Spider the Mercenary who wants to kill both megaman and X, Cinnamon the Nurse Navi in training, Nana the Solo Navigator And Professor Gaudile AND ALSO Dr. Psyche as Number Man’s Rival in a subplot that goes nowhere
Is this just the game where a bunch of random villains are tossed in because the X series had a lot of fake outs
It’s not actually that many
I want Tron Bonne to be here and unleash an army of Servbots onto the net to try and replace Mr.Prog but the irony is the ones in the real world are mostly managed by Progs (Origins of Prog’s Big Venture)
Rivals with Caskett who has Volnutt.Exe and Supporting Data but that’s the closest Legends references you’ll be getting out of me
Fear of the moon is mentioned (it’s actually a reference to Lumine who is the SuperBoss)
You know what else? Legends 3 Characters. Aero and Barrett are also here.
guess they’ll be a third faction that’s neutral. Maybe friends with Kalinka or something.
The Bright Bats!
The plot involves megaman on the run but the next subplot features Kalinka and Bass so…are there actually three scenarios I need to write?
because I never incorporated the 10 Navis.
I want there to just be a bonus plot where the debt thing isn’t resolved so megaman goes to the Undernet and it’s just bad news for him beause everyone down there is still gunning for him
The Genesis Unit-They finally caught up to him! (They were chasing him down the whole game)
Ignore copy megaman and Sonic being in this reference photo.
On Lumine– I forgot X and Axl were here so i’ll have Lumine be like the messenger of the stars to foreshadow the StarNavis despite them being right there with Terra as a Bonus Boss
So what, is there like, a playable X side story or something?
I mean… he’s in the name…
So what’s X doing in this one?
Trying to clear Megaman’s name. I like how now I can just adjust megaman to be quint and then everything works out.
X Hunters as Rivals
The Nightmare Investigators (A Rival Group led by Gate that is hindering the Irregular Hunters until they team up in 3?)
Alia is also here then because she used to work with Gate as a researcher
Maybe Alia made Berkana because she was investigating deleted Navi’s and hm. that’s a stream of thought.
what about Pallete and Layer
there in .exe forms. don’t think about it too much
What happened to Spider? He kinda just leaves after failing to kill Megaman.exe the first time
I guess I either post the last scenario or the boss list next.
Part 3 (Final Scenario X3)
Battle Network X3 (alien emoji)
Where’s Duo? (He retired after 4.)
Put 11 Here somehow
Open World Tour?!
Sure go to them in any order I guess
Probable Plot dump about how the stardroids (or their exe equivalents) have caused disasters for places before because it’s Lan’s World Tour
there was a one sided space war and now their next place to conquer is earth (insert Rita repulsa laugh here)
Is it cheating to just put an image of Ariga’s designs? I mean, the classic ones are fine… (I had an image to show off both designs of the stardroids but I'm just posting Ariga's.)
one is far cooler looking. And these are like, the final bosses for the hypothetical series.
Okay so I think they should all have cool titles
Also what if they were all useful Navi’s before their purpose was lost/ they were forgotten about to echo Sigma’s thing despite not having any relation to him
There’s no morality to this because having a backstory will not keep Megaman and LAN from killing them.
also I’m pretty sure retroactively saying that sigma was manipulated by aliens is stupid so they’re interrupting what would’ve been the 10 robot master’s time to shine (ignoring the boss list)
Mercury: Patient Zero (similar backstory to Megamix where the scientists tried disposing of him but made him immortal)
Laika team up! -Mercury is a cold planet, I think.
Frost Man Boss Battle (huhhhhh?)
• Venus
What was I thinking here lmao
Roll Team up because Venus is the god of love? IDK
Seeing ariga have battle network cameo’s in asteroid blues (I think there were more later?) only reminds me that in classic verse Lan doesn’t exist but everyone else would. Weird to think about how their lives are so different due to no NetNavis.
It’s also weird thinking about the fact that if this was real that all the other characters would look slightly older and have different designs but the Navis would stay the same.
I went in planetary order instead of boss order, oops.
Terra: The Earth Shaker// The Will of Earth
he doesn’t have a backstory he’s just a dick
So Tempo was a Bonus Boss in 1 with Quake Woman and I mentioned that there was some weird contact with the stars right (I did not.)
Her NetNavi’s actually Terra, somehow, but because this has to connect to Star Force they’re that weird bridge between NetNavis and EM Waves
Tempo’s full backstory is that she had a twin sister (think of her like a weird mix of Geo and Lan backstory/personality wise) and she died in a cave in (like original Archie Tempo) but the only thing that got out of there was the netnavi quake woman. Images as reference.
essentially, consider personality reboot tempo to be an entirely different character from original personality tempo/ quake woman, which is not how the comics treat it, but isn’t it kind of implication wise messed up that Dr. LaLinde essentially mindwiped her own robot because she got too attached and kept the original personality on tapes. Like I’m pretty sure if you gave her an entirely different personality then that’s a different person. I never thought about it too much (I didn’t pay that much attention to Archie Megaman outside of fight scenes, my teenager brain was easily distracted.)
she doesn’t like that (only the Navi survived) at all but the other thing (from the cave in) was the hyper energy crystal (remember those are important in mega/gigamix and were basically the souls of the stardroids?) I think. I haven’t read megamix in a long time. (what if someone never read megamix. Go read it. Actually, go read all of Ariga’s Megaman manga.)
and how i mentioned that the StarNavis were the bridge between EM wave aliens that were attracted to negative emotion.
Tempo: I am sad because my sister is dead
Terra: Have you considered destroying your entire race? (Their navi partnership is kind of. How do I even describe the gigamix personality of the stardroids who already exist only to cause fear and pain to feed dark moon and combine that with a character who is slowly losing all of their morality and is willing to go with whatever he tells her to and in the end he goes “well, that was fun, I’ll get rid of you last.” It’s pretty much the worst case scenario for everyone involved. It’s bad!)
Dr. LaLinde actively mourns one daughter while the other plans to blow up the earth.
Megaman wins but then because of cutscene hacks loses but then Duo shows up and he can’t exactly properly judge earth if the “Heralds of Disaster” are actively fucking up his job
the large issue here isn’t that it’s just the stardroids as the bosses but the fact that largely relying on a supporting cast to help out dictates having a supporting cast and outside of scenarios I haven’t talked about anything worldbuilding wise
Mars: War Machine- obviously he was used in the backstory space war that we never get much of an explanation about
Fyrefox Team Up!
Mr. Match Team up!
Yes… another fire netnavi to add to my collection (this is my favorite gag with Mr. Match majority of the fire navis fought throughout battle network are his. Who let this man be a teacher when he was part of an international crime group.)
Burst Man Boss Battle
Jupiter -Zap Team up! + Dynamo Man!
But also, toss in Gyro man because he canonically hates him in accordance to the MM&B CDs
Was I possibly adhering to the anime team ups for DS promotion? Yeah, but this is chronologically past that, so I can do whatever if I return to this.
Saturn- Galaxy Man Team up!
Uranus -Gutsman Team Up!
Neptune: Dread Captain
HELL YEAH PIRATE MAN VS WAVE MAN BATTLE megaman becomes a pirate and RIDES A PIRATE SHIP
what about Neptune
uhhhhnmmmmnnn….
Not all of them need to have reasons that can be disputed on. He’s here to have a good time. And here’s the part where I just end up disregarding Gigamix entirely despite that being the basis…
Wave Man Operator’s Team Up!
I have no thoughts about the operator.
I just realized. Well, the rest of the stardroid Navis are still stuck on the internet. But Terra isn’t.
They are in actual physical danger unless I make cross fusion a thing.
I’m missing someone…
Early Thoughts/ Cut these out?
Confrontation with a weird Tango that stole megaman’s powers in one (he’s purple)
Sudden Horror Genre Shift where Medi and Megaman have to fight Zombie Navis and resurrected Bosses because they’re actually confronting the Lord of Death (Pluto)
what you’re saying is is to have Megaman become resident evil.
Jasmine and Meddy Team Up, but what about EraseMan and ShadowMan for when it becomes a genre shift? Like resident evil but megaman.
And then there was one.
King and Duo Team Up to battle the other Dark StarNavis alongside the other NetNavi’s because power of friendship
IT WAS ALL A PART OF TERRA’S ELABORATE 3 GAME SPANNING PLAN TO GATHER ENOUGH ENERGY TO CALL UPON THE FINAL JUDGEMENT (SunStar)
Too bad friendship kills him lol
As a Segway, Megaman 8 bit death match. But what I’m actually referencing is super adventure rock man.
Ra Thor
Ra Moon
Can they be bonus bosses in the Bonus Game of 3
Fine.
BONUS IDEAS: Boktai 3 Tie in? Let…Let’s not do that.
What about the constellations? (They were part of an obscure game called rockman strategy.)
Shut up.
in summary
The entire plot for this scenario is kind of pivotal on tempo at the very end huh
I forgot to add back Kalinka and X and the gang
Googling images to use in place for concept art revitalized my liking of Archie Megaman. I mourn its end every day.
I should talk more about smackjeeves and revive my one comic series for it even if everyone from there has scattered like petals in the wind.
Id like to thank Ariga Sensei for having made the Megaman mix manga and those concepts for robot masters and stardroids, very cool.
Somehow this scenario was the original idea but ended up least developed (what if sigma was in battle network for a Navi rebellion ala X proper and also there were aliens so duo had to come back which explains why he wasn’t in star force)
Missing in Action (Robot Master Concepts)
There’s so many of these guys, barring that 9-11 came out after battle network was already finished as a franchise…
Missing Robot Masters from 1-11 and what I’m doing with them

Possibly a solo Navi made by Wily for WWW that didn’t get the memo they disbanded. (A lot of Navis end up like this.)
Maybe gets an operator later on…?
Operator would probably be either hotheaded like Crashman or someone prone to mood swings. Maybe also in construction work.

4’s the only one that got a full roster not counting 1 without the PU characters accodding to wiki. On a technicality since Ring is a loose interpretation of RingMan.
5: Wave Man -His netOp ditched him for being so tempermental so he’s just been wandering around the internet and butting heads with pirate man.

King disagrees with Berkana’s idea of simply resurrecting Sigma but more importantly it fits with the whole witch knight theme berkana and gareth have going on
But that only means that it’d be
Dynamo Man and Pirate Man
I didn’t use Astro Man yet
So how about Command Mission though
Scenario: Megaman on the Run
Featuring: Spider the Mercenary who wants to kill both megaman and X, Cinnamon the Nurse Navi in training, Nana the Solo Navigator And Professor Gaudile AND ALSO Dr. Psyche as Number Man’s Rival in a subplot that goes nowhere
Is this just the game where a bunch of random villains are tossed in because the X series had a lot of fake outs
It’s not actually that many
I want Tron Bonne to be here and unleash an army of Servbots onto the net to try and replace Mr.Prog but the irony is the ones in the real world are mostly managed by Progs (Origins of Prog’s Big Venture)
Rivals with Caskett who has Volnutt.Exe and Supporting Data but that’s the closest Legends references you’ll be getting out of me
Fear of the moon is mentioned (it’s actually a reference to Lumine who is the SuperBoss)
You know what else? Legends 3 Characters. Aero and Barrett are also here.
guess they’ll be a third faction that’s neutral. Maybe friends with Kalinka or something.
The Bright Bats!
The plot involves megaman on the run but the next subplot features Kalinka and Bass so…are there actually three scenarios I need to write?
because I never incorporated the 10 Navis.
I want there to just be a bonus plot where the debt thing isn’t resolved so megaman goes to the Undernet and it’s just bad news for him beause everyone down there is still gunning for him
The Genesis Unit-They finally caught up to him! (They were chasing him down the whole game)
Ignore copy megaman and Sonic being in this reference photo.
On Lumine– I forgot X and Axl were here so i’ll have Lumine be like the messenger of the stars to foreshadow the StarNavis despite them being right there with Terra as a Bonus Boss
So what, is there like, a playable X side story or something?
I mean… he’s in the name…
So what’s X doing in this one?
Trying to clear Megaman’s name. I like how now I can just adjust megaman to be quint and then everything works out.
X Hunters as Rivals
The Nightmare Investigators (A Rival Group led by Gate that is hindering the Irregular Hunters until they team up in 3?)
Alia is also here then because she used to work with Gate as a researcher
Maybe Alia made Berkana because she was investigating deleted Navi’s and hm. that’s a stream of thought.
what about Pallete and Layer
there in .exe forms. don’t think about it too much
What happened to Spider? He kinda just leaves after failing to kill Megaman.exe the first time
I guess I either post the last scenario or the boss list next.
Part 3 (Final Scenario X3)
Battle Network X3 (alien emoji)
Where’s Duo? (He retired after 4.)
Put 11 Here somehow
Open World Tour?!
Sure go to them in any order I guess
Probable Plot dump about how the stardroids (or their exe equivalents) have caused disasters for places before because it’s Lan’s World Tour
there was a one sided space war and now their next place to conquer is earth (insert Rita repulsa laugh here)
Is it cheating to just put an image of Ariga’s designs? I mean, the classic ones are fine… (I had an image to show off both designs of the stardroids but I'm just posting Ariga's.)
one is far cooler looking. And these are like, the final bosses for the hypothetical series.
Okay so I think they should all have cool titles
Also what if they were all useful Navi’s before their purpose was lost/ they were forgotten about to echo Sigma’s thing despite not having any relation to him
There’s no morality to this because having a backstory will not keep Megaman and LAN from killing them.
also I’m pretty sure retroactively saying that sigma was manipulated by aliens is stupid so they’re interrupting what would’ve been the 10 robot master’s time to shine (ignoring the boss list)
Mercury: Patient Zero (similar backstory to Megamix where the scientists tried disposing of him but made him immortal)
Laika team up! -Mercury is a cold planet, I think.
Frost Man Boss Battle (huhhhhh?)
• Venus
What was I thinking here lmao
Roll Team up because Venus is the god of love? IDK
Seeing ariga have battle network cameo’s in asteroid blues (I think there were more later?) only reminds me that in classic verse Lan doesn’t exist but everyone else would. Weird to think about how their lives are so different due to no NetNavis.
It’s also weird thinking about the fact that if this was real that all the other characters would look slightly older and have different designs but the Navis would stay the same.
I went in planetary order instead of boss order, oops.
Terra: The Earth Shaker// The Will of Earth
he doesn’t have a backstory he’s just a dick
So Tempo was a Bonus Boss in 1 with Quake Woman and I mentioned that there was some weird contact with the stars right (I did not.)
Her NetNavi’s actually Terra, somehow, but because this has to connect to Star Force they’re that weird bridge between NetNavis and EM Waves
Tempo’s full backstory is that she had a twin sister (think of her like a weird mix of Geo and Lan backstory/personality wise) and she died in a cave in (like original Archie Tempo) but the only thing that got out of there was the netnavi quake woman. Images as reference.
essentially, consider personality reboot tempo to be an entirely different character from original personality tempo/ quake woman, which is not how the comics treat it, but isn’t it kind of implication wise messed up that Dr. LaLinde essentially mindwiped her own robot because she got too attached and kept the original personality on tapes. Like I’m pretty sure if you gave her an entirely different personality then that’s a different person. I never thought about it too much (I didn’t pay that much attention to Archie Megaman outside of fight scenes, my teenager brain was easily distracted.)
she doesn’t like that (only the Navi survived) at all but the other thing (from the cave in) was the hyper energy crystal (remember those are important in mega/gigamix and were basically the souls of the stardroids?) I think. I haven’t read megamix in a long time. (what if someone never read megamix. Go read it. Actually, go read all of Ariga’s Megaman manga.)
and how i mentioned that the StarNavis were the bridge between EM wave aliens that were attracted to negative emotion.
Tempo: I am sad because my sister is dead
Terra: Have you considered destroying your entire race? (Their navi partnership is kind of. How do I even describe the gigamix personality of the stardroids who already exist only to cause fear and pain to feed dark moon and combine that with a character who is slowly losing all of their morality and is willing to go with whatever he tells her to and in the end he goes “well, that was fun, I’ll get rid of you last.” It’s pretty much the worst case scenario for everyone involved. It’s bad!)
Dr. LaLinde actively mourns one daughter while the other plans to blow up the earth.
Megaman wins but then because of cutscene hacks loses but then Duo shows up and he can’t exactly properly judge earth if the “Heralds of Disaster” are actively fucking up his job
the large issue here isn’t that it’s just the stardroids as the bosses but the fact that largely relying on a supporting cast to help out dictates having a supporting cast and outside of scenarios I haven’t talked about anything worldbuilding wise
Mars: War Machine- obviously he was used in the backstory space war that we never get much of an explanation about
Fyrefox Team Up!
Mr. Match Team up!
Yes… another fire netnavi to add to my collection (this is my favorite gag with Mr. Match majority of the fire navis fought throughout battle network are his. Who let this man be a teacher when he was part of an international crime group.)
Burst Man Boss Battle
Jupiter -Zap Team up! + Dynamo Man!
But also, toss in Gyro man because he canonically hates him in accordance to the MM&B CDs
Was I possibly adhering to the anime team ups for DS promotion? Yeah, but this is chronologically past that, so I can do whatever if I return to this.
Saturn- Galaxy Man Team up!
Uranus -Gutsman Team Up!
Neptune: Dread Captain
HELL YEAH PIRATE MAN VS WAVE MAN BATTLE megaman becomes a pirate and RIDES A PIRATE SHIP
what about Neptune
uhhhhnmmmmnnn….
Not all of them need to have reasons that can be disputed on. He’s here to have a good time. And here’s the part where I just end up disregarding Gigamix entirely despite that being the basis…
Wave Man Operator’s Team Up!
I have no thoughts about the operator.
I just realized. Well, the rest of the stardroid Navis are still stuck on the internet. But Terra isn’t.
They are in actual physical danger unless I make cross fusion a thing.
I’m missing someone…
Early Thoughts/ Cut these out?
Confrontation with a weird Tango that stole megaman’s powers in one (he’s purple)
Sudden Horror Genre Shift where Medi and Megaman have to fight Zombie Navis and resurrected Bosses because they’re actually confronting the Lord of Death (Pluto)
what you’re saying is is to have Megaman become resident evil.
Jasmine and Meddy Team Up, but what about EraseMan and ShadowMan for when it becomes a genre shift? Like resident evil but megaman.
And then there was one.
King and Duo Team Up to battle the other Dark StarNavis alongside the other NetNavi’s because power of friendship
IT WAS ALL A PART OF TERRA’S ELABORATE 3 GAME SPANNING PLAN TO GATHER ENOUGH ENERGY TO CALL UPON THE FINAL JUDGEMENT (SunStar)
Too bad friendship kills him lol
As a Segway, Megaman 8 bit death match. But what I’m actually referencing is super adventure rock man.
Ra Thor
Ra Moon
Can they be bonus bosses in the Bonus Game of 3
Fine.
BONUS IDEAS: Boktai 3 Tie in? Let…Let’s not do that.
What about the constellations? (They were part of an obscure game called rockman strategy.)
Shut up.
in summary
The entire plot for this scenario is kind of pivotal on tempo at the very end huh
I forgot to add back Kalinka and X and the gang
Googling images to use in place for concept art revitalized my liking of Archie Megaman. I mourn its end every day.
I should talk more about smackjeeves and revive my one comic series for it even if everyone from there has scattered like petals in the wind.
Id like to thank Ariga Sensei for having made the Megaman mix manga and those concepts for robot masters and stardroids, very cool.
Somehow this scenario was the original idea but ended up least developed (what if sigma was in battle network for a Navi rebellion ala X proper and also there were aliens so duo had to come back which explains why he wasn’t in star force)
