the dark men were also wily made robot masters

I have a theory: Maybe Dr. Light is using Roll to help with creating X. She could be bringing him parts that are far away in his lab. (But that’s just a theory)

Gotta say, this is a really well put together video regarding this oddly specific Mega Man topic! Dr. Wily sure has a knack for stealing the work of other people, doesn't he?

“I’m crazy enough to take on mega man. But the copyright lawyers? No thank you.” -Dr. Wily, 200X

My theory is that Wily inflates the numbers to make his army seem bigger than it is. Real militaries do this by skipping low serial numbers.

I'm not totally sure about Bubble Man. The first game has a Bubble Boy mini-boss. It seems likely that was Bubbleman's prototype. We know old masters can be re-configured (like the Gutsdozer), so it seems possible.

I thought Skull Man was the only DWN from 4

You for got dark man

Wily also made searchman

They already hired someone to do Zero Roll, and they never produced her script, then had them waste the idea in a damn comic book.

No, Powered Up isn't canon.

you forgot about the ones from short circuits

Never understood why they never fixed the naming and numbering? Not of them should be labeled as DWN.

So... 8 times 9... 71. Add 4 for the doc robots as they are technically wily's creation (75), 3 stages for all 11 wily stage boss groups (assuming all yellow devils are different models; 108) and honestly considering 11 added EVEN MORE enemies to the roster... i sincerely lose count _here_ And i haven't even touched the Gameboy games and 5 is a completely different _beast_

DWN stood for Dr. Wily Number? I always thought it just meant "drawing number", like a general robot blueprint numbering system.

The Story Peaks when Axl leaves Red Alert. But then it goes down hill once X retires. Why did the Story Writers make X retire, especially after his heroic actions in Mega Man X6.

its a crime i find a channel this good, about a fixation i’m on at the moment, with only FOUR videos and hasn’t uploaded in a year. fuck my gay white boy life.

The fact you called Zero "the sexiest character ever designed" caught me so off guard that I just laughed for a good 5 minutes.

Bass in MM10 is so fun. If I ever have that one up I would usually choose his mode.

5:38 as much as I like Napalm Man I'm sorry to admit that this is 100% accurate

Didn't create Aquaman too?

What about Doc robot?

What about the DOS Robot Masters? Do they count?

Dr. Wily is a regular Thomas Edison.

What happened to Bass? He became a musical instrument named the Bass

The double one up fall into a pit in Toad Man of all things made me chuckle.

2:50 Shoutouts to simpleflips

The MM6 robots most likely have special serial numbers, as Plant Man has one by his creator in the Archie Comics Also, Search Man from MM8 was made by Wily. He wanted a robot with 2 brains but failed, hence why Search Man seemingly talks to himself

Obviously, Bass still thought he was the shit and one day he picked a fight with Thanos. Fr tho. Leave to Crapcom to give us Megaman's Shadow The Edgehog, then forget he exists. We get Bass.exe but nothing that vaguely symbolizes him in the X series?? Sorry the francise doesnt make as much as Street Fighter, but we still need our fan favorites

Fun Fact : Most of Antiheroes have a role of 'Villain turned Hero', rather than 'Hero turned Villain'. In my opinion, Good antiheroes(Villain -> Hero) are better than Evil antiheroes(Hero -> Villain).

I can see him reprogramming the identification codes to be his for anything involving his plans. Also only 23 are his because remember the Bass, Treble and Zero projects, those take resources.

screw it, i'm with you! Dr. Wily 2024, let's destroy Megaman and beat Dr. Light

The fact Protoman and Bass never got a Cameo in 11 is a crime on Capcom's part

I love how you’re ignoring the fact Wily HIMSELF builds weapons of mass destruction rather than Robot Masters. He built the Wily Machine lineage of vehicles for him to pilot (also not counting his UFO), the Devil series of amorphic blobs & cybernetic assembloids in that order, sinister machinery within his Skull-clad facilities as he sees fit, and dare I ask: where does he get his funding from? I might have a theory... a CONSPIRACY Theory... but a theory nonetheless. Wily gets his funding laundered through Shadoloo-run by M. Bison as both series belong to Capcom, and are connected. Wily grovels for mercy, knowing he’s been blackmailed by M. Bison SOMEWHERE along the way in the early events of the MegaMan series. MegaMan HIMSELF doesn’t even know the truth Wily’s being blackmailed from said shady dealing from this organization that so happens to ALSO run The World Warrior tournament by means of Globalism.

The washed out colours look a lot better with the idea of this video.

Hold on. Where did all your other videos go?

I wish Bass remained more of an antagonist in the series. After 8 he basically became player 3, and barely worked with wily or fought against megaman at all. I don’t mind him going against Wily, but it should be made clearer that he’s not a good bot. don’t get me wrong, playing as Bass is fun,I just think he was misused as a character.

He created Airman Thats enough

What if zero is actually bass upgraded

Yeh let’s be real I don’t think that crush thing roll had on megaman in power up is cannon cause power up itself had a lot of what if scenarios in it non that are cannon to the original game and is never brought up in any later games or media well except for that one megaman comic that was made in Brazil but that comic was non cannon and weird as fuck

Finally, someone asking the same questions as me!

man he wasn’t in 1 new game he’s totally never coming back

Bass was just a cash in on the edgy shonen rival trope

come back king we miss you

Maybe Dr. Wily made DWN-000-008 before the events of MM1 but never used them

bass is nintendo’s version of knuckles

This is like if Cybershell did Mega Man rather than Sonic and im all for it lol.

I will say about mega man 4 , Ring Man and Skull man were made specifically to fight mega man according to their legacy collection bios. While I still think ring man is Cossacks, DR WILY has to have had at least some influence on SKULL Man.
