This feels like necroposting and probably is, but I've found something relevant to this thread: Codename Yoshi's list of names.

I think it's safe to say that this is all of them, since the site seems to have shut down in 2002. The odd Maverick names could be chalked up to translation issues; the other names are the fanon ones mentioned a while back, plus some ones that weren't.

When I was still young, and didn't really understand any English, I had this theory with Protoman and Zero:

When Mega Man managed to defeat Wily twice; he decided to make a "super fighting robot" of his own, and tried to clone Mega Man. The result was none other than Protoman, who was inferior to Mega Man due to a cloning failure. However, as this didn't stop Mega Man, Wily decided to further improve Proto Man, and the result was Zero (meanwhile when Dr. Light improves Mega Man in to X).

That's just the rough idea, but as I started to understand English more and more, and realized Proto Man wasn't a clone of Mega Man, I tried to further improve this theory. Unfortunately can't remember any of those "improvements".

Also, when I was even younger I thought Zero was X's mother.

Screw that, go the EXE route with Haruka and Netto, or the Star Force route with Hope and Geo. Whichever one is chosen, it should have a beach scene. ^_^

Seriously though, this is just another ZERO-IS-A-GIRL theory.

Aw man, that would've been twice the awesome. ;_;


Speaking of ZX--I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again: I theorized that Promes and Pandora were lovers.

Oops.


This may be a shot in the dark, given that US and PAL Megaman continuities are identical and that I can only speak English, but does anyone know of old European MM theories? That seems to be one of the few areas of old theories that hasn't been examined yet (or if so, then my faulty memory).

Sort of.

Kayama had it up as "Codename Yoshi", then switched servers and went with "Virtual Study Desk". The site died sometime after X7's release.

He had fanon names made as far as X6.

Ah, thanks.

It also seems that he combined Curtiss and Schmitt with Bit and Byte. That's...odd.

"Hey, Mom! This Maverick's armour is really powerful--what should I do?"

"Shove a few sticks of dynamite up its arse, dear."


I'm not sure how old this theory is, since it's still in use today, but I'm thinking it's somewhat old: The Megaman games have the same history as the Real World(TM) up until the whole robots who shoot bees thing.

Let's ignore the fact that (unless I'm missing something) Capcom hasn't said anything on the matter; the main problem I have with it is this:

"WELL SINCE THE MEGAMAN GAMES FOLLOW OUR HISTORY THAT MEANS THAT ASIMOV'S LAWS ARE IN PLACE THEREFORE EVERYTHING THAT ANYONE DOES IS PRE-DETERMINED BY THE LAWS"

What, no accounting for why we had sentient robots before 2010?

There IS a large degree of overlap between real world history and Rockman world history. As is natural of all fiction that is supposed to occur on THIS Earth.

Real life does not follow Asimov.

Real life does not follow Asimov.

Their "reasoning" is that, since Isaac Asimov's books must have been published in the history that Megaman supposedly follows, the Laws would be defictionalized; thus, they don't have to explain why a character did or didn't do something.

I can't quite remember the original dialogue in the infamous "DIE WILY" scene, but I don't think Wily said "according to the First Law"--just a generic law that would mean Mega's little blue ass in jail or worse if he shot Wily. (Also aware of the X1 opening, but I don't want to touch that right now)

Here's something vaguely amusing. Let's see...

* It's hard to tell what the author's talking about in Proto's bio; was the "malfunction in his circuit system" what turned him evil, or did that malfunction lead him to Dr. Wily who swayed him to the side of evil? Either way, there's no core involved.

* The author hates on Rush, Beat, and Tango. ;_; Claims Rush starts more trouble than he stops, that Beat was built by Dr. Light, and that Tango is a "screwball".

* Not only is Bass Wily's first Megaman clone, but he eventually becomes Zero.

* Mommy Caskett is an alien!

There's also a lot of alternate names being thrown around, such as:

* 0 (Zero)

* Sygma (Sigma)

* V.I.L.E. (Vile)

* Tackle (Double)

* Deploy all Zig (Colonel)

* Isis (Iris)

* Megaman Neo (Rock Volnutt)

* Bancoscus (Klaymoor; while that is his original name, his English name is never mentioned)


I did some poking around the Capcom of Europe MM forums; the only theory I could find was one concerning Zero in the classic series. Essentially, Proto's crappy reactor is removed (ergo he's dead), Bass sacrifices himself (ergo he's dead), and Megaman defeats Zero (ergo...he survives, I guess). I had to use Babelfish to translate the German, so I'm probably getting something wrong.

Megaman Neo probably comes from the concept name...

Tackle? haha... consisdering thats what he DOES, that isnt too surprising, and it sounds a hell of a lot better than "Jello Man"
Sygma... Im reminded if RS naming him Cygma.

Rush starting trouble sounds like something RS inspired too. Lol at V.I.L.E. too.

I'm at a loss for "Zig" as well, besides maybe too much Zero Wing.

And the only time I ever recall hearing "Isis" in relation to MegaMan was in the Reploid Hunter Iris comic.

Also on DeviantArt, Rumble, DLive.tv, and the Fediverse (@freespeechextremist.com and @bae.st)

Good Lord I can't believe I'm updating this thing again. Mostly more "just before the Dark Age of the Internet" crap again, but some of it I found amusing.

Also, all of these sites are in Portuguese, which I cannot read without Babelfish. So I'm probably wrong about a few things.

http://megaman_site.vilabol.uol.com.br/index.htm Last update in 2001.

* Claims that Protoman is a joint creation of Drs. Light and Wily; I don't think it mentioned anything about his internal problems, just that he turned "evil".

* Dr. Cossack and Kalinka are Arab now! (...buh?)

* Roll, Kalinka, Beat, Auto, Dr. Cain, and General all got gender-bendered. I dunno if some of those are mistakes on the webmaster's part or if Babelfish just doesn't like Portuguese pronouns.

* Claims X is Megaman and Zero is Protoman.

* Claims Megaman and Bass is Megaman 9.

There's also lots of CD database stuff that I haven't looked into yet; I think their claim of Megaman converting Bass to good was just a joke.

www.megamanxbase.hpg.com.br/ Last update in 2002; not much of note other than claiming that the Astro Boy series (all of them) and the Megaman series are directly related.

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/7043/ (Site is defunct; you have to run it through Babelfish). The last update apparently wasn't in 2000, but I only looked into one of the archived versions from that year.

* Not only does the Classic series take place in the 2050s, but the X series is only "a distant 30 years away".

* Once again, Wily is Dr. Light's former assistant. All of the industrial robots (and Proto) were built before Megaman and Roll.

* Claims that Proto is training Megaman in MM3.

* Spells Kalinka's name as "Karinka", just like a certain comic.


That's about all I could find. I want to try and look into www.gamezero.com/ later via Wayback Machine (site seems to be busy right now) and see if they have anything on Megaman.

EDIT: Turned out I didn't have to use WM, but sadly, I could only find two MM-related things there--both unimpressed reviews of MM7 and MMX. Damn.

EDIT2: Wait, they had an MM4 review, too. Derp. Only things of note are a misspelling ("Cosak") and the "Megablaster".
