Cold Steel

Cold Steel is an episode from the Mega Man animated series. The episode was written by Michael Maurer and Matt Uitz.

Summary
At a science expo, Mega Man and Roll meet a girl who is deaf. She makes such an impression on them, that Roll offers the girl and her mom to join them at a concert later that day. Then, everything goes wrong. At the show, all of the attendees begin to file out like zombies. This is really the work of Dr. Wily, who has created music that can hypnotize humans into doing his bidding.

Meanwhile, Roll wants Dr. Light to listen to a song from the band at the concert on CD and switches his classical CD with that of the band Cold Steel. Little did Roll know that it was really Cold Steel's music that was hypnotizing all of the people, and now Dr. Light was also hypnotized. The only human not affected by the trance music was the little deaf girl, and she helps Mega Man and Roll.

Robot Master appearances: Gyro Man, Gemini Man, Spark Man

Trivia

 * Rumors still persist to this day that singer Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray's lead singer) supplied a voice for one of Dr. Wily's Robot Masters (Spark Man) in this episode. This would make sense, because Sugar Ray had a song featured on the Mega Man soundtrack album.
 * Also, there is a rumor that a member (or maybe multiple members) of the rock group Mr. Big may have supplied a voice (or voices) of another character.
 * However, when Gyro Man is in his rocker disguise, his voice completely changes. His rock star voice sounds similar to Jim Byrnes (also a musician) as he sounded on the television series "Wiseguy". He may have supplied that voice. However, he is actually voiced by Charles Stan Frazier.


 * This episode's plot is very similar to the episode "Cold Slither" from the G.I. Joe animated series.
 * This is the only episode where Robyn Ross did not voice Roll. Instead, VA veteran Kathleen Barr (better known for her roles in ReBoot, Dragon Tales, Ed Edd n Eddy, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Kid vs. Kat, and Hot Wheels Highway 35 and its sequel AcceleRacers) provided it.

Quotes

 * Dr. Wily: "It's all those robots fault! Why? Why am I surrounded by fools?"
 * Dr. Light: "Maybe because﻿ that's all you know how to build, Dr. Wily."
