Classic Series Plot Summary
Dr. Thomas Light was the first to create a lifelike humanoid robot. Using those plans he slowly and meticulously built himself a small lab assistant. He named the assistant Rock. He then created another robot housekeeper named Roll.

Dr. Light shared his skills and plans with his assistant Dr. Wily, and together they made a breakthrough in robotics. They created six master robots to perform tasks that humans could not. All went well until Dr. Wily mysteriously reprogrammed each of the robots. He then proceeded to run off with all six reprogrammed robots.

Before anyone could really get a hold of what was going on, Dr. Wily was on a world conquering rampage of the entire planet.

Rock, having resisted the doctor's reprogramming, volunteered himself to be converted into a fighting machine to combat Dr. Wily's evil robots. Enter Mega Man.

Mega Man fought and defeated all of the reprogrammed robots. He also fought and defeated Wily himself. However, in the last seconds of the battle, Dr. Wily was able to slip through Mega Man's grasp and escape. (Mega Man 1)

Not taking the defeat lightly, Dr. Wily created eight of his own Master Robots. These eight were designed solely to fight and take down Mega Man. He sent them back to pick up where he left off in his previous attempt. Mega Man once again heads out to save the day. (Mega Man 2)

After defeating Dr. Wily for the second time, the evil doctor vowed to mend his ways and make up for all his past mistakes by offering his assistance to Dr. Light once again. Together they built eight more robot masters and even began working on a giant peace-keeping robot called Gamma. Gamma was being constructed to keep the events of the past from ever happening again.

In order to construct Gamma, special crystals were needed. Dr. Light and Dr. Wily built special mining robots to gather these crystal for them. During the mining process however some of the robots went berserk and drove out all of the humans. Mega Man was then sent to retrieve these special crystals for them, accompanied by his robotic dog Rush. It turns out that in the end Wily was behind the whole plan and was stealing the crystals for himself. As soon as he had stolen all of the crystals he activated Gamma and tried to use it to take over the world and defeat Mega Man. In the end Mega Man destroyed Gamma and had Wily in his grasp. The fighting had weakened the fortress they were in began to collapse and Mega Man was trapped under the rubble. Wily made his escape and the tower still crumbled. Proto Man rushed in and saved his brother's life. (Mega Man 3)

Zero Series Plot Summary
A hundred years after the fall of Sigma, Maverick Hunters X and Zero have vanished from the view of the public and have become mere legends. Humans and Reploids find themselves at war as the humans have decided to stamp out all of the robots that caused the wars of the past.

Two factions emerge: some Reploids continue to serve the humans, even though the humans are in the process of systematically destroying most of the Reploids. The rest of the Reploids have fled, creating a Resistance Force in an attempt to save themselves from annihilation.

Ciel, a human scientist, joins a group of these Reploids, who have constructed a Resistance Base as their place of operations. By studying Cyber-elves, Ciel hopes to develop a new source of energy that she intends to use to bring peace between the Reploids and the humans. Until then, they fight. Desperate to find a way to survive against the odds, Ciel revives the ancient warrior Zero, who had been locked away for an unknown span of time. Zero awakens with little to no memory of his past, but nevertheless finds himself facing the past when he battles Copy-X, a duplicate of his historic partner, and leader of Neo Arcadia, the primary human city.

When the real X appears, it is in the form of a Cyber-elf. His body is sacrificed in an attempt to imprison the Dark Elf, the source of the Elf Wars that nearly devastated the world years ago. Now X serves primarily as a source of guidance, though he tends to give as little information as possible, revealing things incrementally.

Meanwhile, Dr. Weil, a scientist banished from Neo Arcadia for instigating the Elf Wars using a robot known as Omega, returns with a vengeance to attempt to accomplish his goals once and for all. He takes over Neo Arcadia and makes prisoners out of the humans as much as he wages war against the Reploids.
