Robo-Spider

Robo-Spider is an episode from Ruby-Spears' Mega Man animated series. The episode was written by Michael Maurer.

Summary
Dr. Light has developed a super defense computer meant to fight off Dr. Wily's forces away from important targets. But, Dr. Wily creates something to counteract Dr. Light's computer: a giant mechanical spider tank.

This "Robo-Spider" can shoot electronic webbing that sucks electricity out of power grids and adds it all to its own power source. If the Robo-Spider reaches full strength, it can destroy Dr. Light's supercomputer. Mega Man, Roll and Rush find themselves on the run from the Robo-Spider while Dr. Light tries to find a way to stop this thing from causing a nationwide blackout and destroying the supercomputer.

Robot Master appearances: Bright Man, Quick Man

Trivia

 * In the Robot Museum scene, right before the camera cuts to a close up of the statues of Mega Man, Roll and Rush, there is a small blue robot with a striking resemblence to R2-D2 from the Star Wars franchise.


 * The "Enjoy Cola Cola" billboard that is seen early in the episode when Wily's Robo-Spider is attacking the city is an obvious reference to Coca-Cola.


 * Protoman uses Guts Man’s torso as a shield, but in the games he always carries his own shield.

Quotes

 * Proto Man: "Awww! A boy and his dog, how touching! I could cry... if I were programmed that way!"
