Bot Transfer

Bot Transfer is an episode of the Mega Man animated series. The episode was written by Richard Merwin and Kairabo Jihaka.

Summary
Dr. Light, Mega Man, Roll, and Rush fly to a conference and encounter Dr. Wily's robots on the airplane along the way. When Mega Man and Roll follow them to the luggage section of the plane, they are gone without a trace. However, they do find a large unknown chamber stored nearby and take it to analyze.

Later that night, Mega Man is duped into meeting with an "old friend of Dr. Light" and gets trapped in an identical transport chamber by Wily and Proto Man. After locking him in, Mega Man's essence is switched into Snake Man's body and vice versa.

Now, not only does Dr. Wily have "Mega Man" on his side, but the real Mega Man has to try and convince his family that he is really not the evil Snake Man.
