The Beginning

Summary


Dr. Wily, Proto Man and the Robot Masters assault an airport and Mega Man is called upon for help. When Roll's safety is in jeopardy during the battle, Mega Man gets critically damaged. While Dr. Light repairs Mega Man, he begins having flashbacks to the day this all began when ProtoMan was first created, when Wily turned on Dr. Light, when Rock and Roll were created and when Rock was rebuilt into Mega Man. Mega Man is repaired and along with Roll takes the fight to Wily once more.

Robot Master Appearances: Cut Man, Elec Man, Fire Man, Guts Man, Bomb Man, Ice Man

Fun Facts


In this episode Proto Man copies Guts Man's weapon. This is the only cartoon where Proto copies a weapon. He really should do it more often.

This is the only episode where all of the original Robot Masters from the original N.E.S. (Nintendo) Mega Man game appear together: Cut Man, Elec Man, Ice Man, Fire Man, Bomb Man and Guts Man. This episode marks the only appearance of the Met, the little hardhat bot from the Mega Man games. But, unlike the games, there's only one of him and he's a good guy! He is referred to as Doc. Much like ProtoMan's alliance with Dr. Wily, the history of Mega Man's origins were modified for the show. In the video game's storyline, both Dr. Light and Dr. Wily built ProtoMan, Rock and Roll. Also, on the show, it was Dr. Light's idea to have Rock rebuilt into Mega Man, not Rock's own idea like in the games.

The vehicle that Roll operates in this episode was turned into a toy in the Mega Man action figure line. The same vehicle appears in the second segment with a different paint scheme as the vehicle Rock and Roll escape from Skull Fortress in.

For whatever reason, ProtoMan was short when he was first built.

In some markets, this episode did not air first, but rather second! In these few markets, it was the second episode "Electric Nightmare" that aired first!

This episode is an unlockable bonus in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection (Playstation 2 version only - Not Gamecube).

In the second segment when Mega Man's helmet is removed during repairs, his hair is gone! It is replaced with a metallic dome-like piece. This could be a reference to the movie RoboCop. But, maybe not.
