I like to think that Dr. Light sealed all of the classic series characters away in capsuls, and they'll all just waiting for the day when they're found again.

They just separated to walk the path of evereyone's own destiny. The entire cast is still alive and well. Even in the Legends Saga.

Except for Protoman. He really expired.

oh theyre all just fne and dandy. remember that little bin where I mentioned Douglas, lifesavor, and Cain are? thats where they are too. :D they were the FIRST residents.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Light's dead of old age, Megaman and his ilk are in a museum somewhere, etc.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

Rock doesn't do museums, he's a hero.

Come to think of it, he doesn't have an experiation date either, so no.

Staple rule in heroes: They all die. Either from old age/expiring, exploding areas, going down swinging, or being eaten alive by The Blob apparently.

Rock and co(.) eventually kick the bucket one way or another. If not by some retarded "Zero killed them all plot", than by maybe the Eurassa incident, or the Elf Wars, or probably shot by Ragnarok. It's more likely for Rock to have went down swinging and clean at one point and end up in a Museum to "honor" him or whatever they do in that little world--than for him to skip around, having fun with Rush and taking plasma shots for a tree. (First one to get that reference gets a cookie.  :cookie: )

*puts on a Priest robe* And I quote, from the holy book of Amazing Spiderman, Volume 2 issue 34: "I always knew that sooner or later, I'd lose. It's math, you see. Statistics. No one wins forever." Sooooo... he's dead. If not by one thing, than by another. Hero or not, Museum or not.

Firstly, it's a staple of mortals in general to die.
Secondly, Rock being a robot would get repaired, like anybody else in the series.
Third, time travel and space are all possibilities for Rock to get out of the setting without having to die for the X-series to occur.

I should correct myself then. "All heroes die in brutal ways, defending what they believe in. The term "Hero" tends to not be truly decided on until said person is deceased and the look back on how their life was carried out was done. Not by wide opinion anyway.

Let us have a game of logic shall we? Logic would--after all--indicate that a good amount of people would think Rock was just as bad as Wily's bots simply for being in the fray after all. People caught in the crossfires of Wily's robots would see Rock and a good enough number would think "Damn robot! Always the robots!" like little bigoted people they could be. :P For that sake, at the present time of his actions, he could not be deemed a hero.

Only until after him dying and they would look back on what he's done for them, and now, their left open for any attack without anyone there to defend them would he truly be deemed a hero for what he's done. Under that logic, only after his death can he be considered a hero. Until then, he's a robotic crime fighter. :P

But that would never be shown in the -Classic- game series. So that kinda makes my point a moot point, now doesn't it? >_>

The X Hunters and King would like to have a word with you. :P

I highly doubt Rock went to the future or past to live a new life away from everything he's defended. Maybe ---MAYBE he could have left the planet with Duo but at best, that's fanon guess's. And it's not so much that his death would be vital to the X-series occurring but rather, would give X more meaning. To have a name to live up to, one to honor and one to deserve and carry after the original Rockman would be deceased.

Rock's death would carry more significance to X and that series than "Rock went to become a robot with Justice Energy like Duo", or just becoming Quint and that's it.

While I don't believe that Zero killed him and everyone else, I do think he went down swinging.

After reading the section about Super Adventure Rockman in R20, I began to doubt the Cataclysm Theory. Although as much as fans would have wanted to see Zero brutally murder all but Dr. Right and Wily, the creator's word stands: Mixing a game for children (Classic Rockman) with a mature story [spoiler](In this case, UN helicopters getting shot down, Dr. Right, Roll and Quickman dying.)[/spoiler] is not a good idea.

Like X, Zero most likely got buried at the end of Dr. Wily's lifetime.

I mean, think like a child. Would you want to see your favorite cartoon characters murdered? I don't think so.

Rock and the gang probably just kept on functioning until their systems ran down. (Except for Blues. He probably went up in a nukuler (sic) explosion.)

Go Nagai example:
Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and the first Getter Robo are all in museums after their initial series' ends.
though Getter Robo is an odd one seeing as Musashi practically vaporizes it along with almost all of the reptilinoid empire.. >>;

Capcom would never kill Megaman in any sort of permenant way.  They see him as a hero to children everywhere.  It's the same sort of reason why Megaman is never a bad guy (it's always some sort of clone).  I don't think we'll ever see the origional meeting X in any canon way, but I don't think we'll ever hear that MM died.

I whole heartedly welcome that. MM is fine as it is. It doesn't need blood and gore and other crap to make it GRRRRRRRRRIMDARK.

The Counter-Hunters are irregular repliroids that have served their purpose to Sigma and are illegal to revive by law.

King isn't dead. And if he was, it wholly depends on Wily's interest to revive him or not. Besides, Rockman has given burials to robots before, thinking they're dead, only for them to reappear moments later revived and all.

That name exists regardless of Rock's fate. Just look at how Zero is famed even though he sealed himself away.

Well, yeah, they are inhuman monsters. Can't just let abominations go around corrupting planets, they'll have to be cleansed.

S'the only option, really.

X didn't have an animal sidekick, but Sigma sure did.

Well, hey, just have Axl transform into Rush, and now he's actually useful.
