Talk:Auto

According to the Tango Page: "In Mega Man 10, Tango appears as Auto's assistant at the shop when playing as Proto Man."

According to the Auto Page: "When the player is using Proto Man. Auto runs the shop by himself, and appears to be wearing a Mettool helmet."

Which is right? Rdh288 01:50, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, it's not like Tango actually does anything. 174.111.86.22 14:53, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Japanese name
I think his Japanese name is meant to be a portmeantuea of Light and robot, because Dr. Light is Dr. Right in Japan and in the instruction booklet for Mega Man & Bass, Auto's name is mistranslated as Lightot.

Origin
Ariga: There's one thing that I've always wanted to ask you... who is Auto? He's such a mysterious character, and no matter how many times I go over the games' instruction manuals or guides, I can't seem to find any solid information on his origins.

Inafune: I think it was when we put out "Mega Man 6"...? We wanted some way to differentiate between the "X" series and the "Mega Man" series, and came up with the idea of taking one into a comical direction while the other went in a more serious direction. That being said, we couldn't have Mega Man being silly and saying random, crazy things, so that's when we created the character known as Auto. As for his official in-game background story...

Ariga: The only bits of information I found stated that he "considers himself Dr. Light's first real apprentice," and that he is "a live-in assistant." I couldn't find anything that suggests he was created by Dr. Light, so I always wondered who created him and for what purpose.

Inafune: Really? That's strange... maybe we hadn't officially established any history for him? Now that I think about it, though, Auto was one of my own designs! (laughs) I recall how I was running on fumes while drawing him and trying to finish up "Mega Man 7" (...) at the same time.
