I'm sorry.

It's either that or it is magic/evil spirits.

Seriously, I can accept that it's the same "Dark Energy" from Mega Man 8. It at least comes from a time and place where this sort of thing doesn't matter much to me. Anything goes in Classic. Even if it doesn't make any sense. Especially if space is involved.
I assume you don't believe in radiation either?

Also, thing is, it IS related to the Evil Energy. That's where Wily got the idea for an airborne computer virus in the first place, and he used the Evil Energy and studied it enough to know how it works, and therefore made his own, and test drove it with the Roboenza he spread from his space tower that nobody saw him build.

Then, at some point, he built Zero, sealed him away, and went back to it, refined it, improved it, and sealed it in Zero's capsule. it leaked from there and yadda yadda we know the drill.

It IS an airborne energy. if you can accept the Evil/Alien energy from 8, you have to accept the Sigma Virus as energy in the X series, since they are related. And I mean come on, it a [tornado fang]ing science fiction videogame series. Are you REALLY going to say, "NOPE, THIS CAN NOT EXIST IN A FANTASY SCI-FI SERIES ABOUT RIDICULOUSLY HUMANLIKE ROBOTS WITH ROBOT DNA AND OTHER IMPROBABLE THINGS DO."

Especially when it follows the timeline from Classic, which you say you are fine with "anything goes" rules.

I also hope we see some crazy Axl in X9,
I will never understand this fascination with Maverick Axl people have. It's REALLY annoying.

Quote
is it just me that thinks that Axl was created by Sigma and given to Red?
Most people think He's Gate's, or maybe to a lesser extent, Cossack's.

Quote
as for at least the first half of X7 Red was working with Sigma.
he was working with Sigma because apparently Red is an idiot, has not watched the news since ever, or both, and did not know who Sigma Was. (hint: It's Sigma)

Here's some pics of a Tanker ship that got washed up on a waterside street on Staten Island near where I live.



Aaand some pics I took, of the view from the train station/depot that is pretty much right behind that street.







do note that people are on the tracks, since they were not powered anyway.

Ohey there. I have power again.  I was fine till Monday night 10:00 pm ehen the power went out. Just came back a while ago. Me and 2 pals close to me were lucky. We live near the water but higher up, so the water didn't reach us. Didn't rain much either.  A friend who lives near the beach was not so lucky.   His living room and kitchen got flooded chest high and their door caved in. ( their living room and kitchen are ground floor, technically basemet)

Today was.something else going about. Traffic. Is a mess as you imagine l, with some non wprking traffic lights and some detours due to flooding.

The capsule was leaking Virus before Zero was discovered. According to the inti timeline, it drove local robots mad.

And it is airborne. It has an energy body.

Its more because he pooled ALL of his energy into his body on the moon. It was supposed to be his strongest form to date. Its basically like what happened in X5. he did not have enough Virus left to revive himself.

They do exist in the Mega Man world, just they dont seem to be actually hardcoded into Robots brains. Just more of a general rule of thumb, a sort of set of "commandments" for Robots.

After all, most people do the [parasitic bomb] the 10 commandments say not to do, right? All because the set of rules exists, doesn't mean Robots are forced to follow them.

When Light says he fears X could break the first rule, he wasnt talking as if robots are usually bound by them, he just fears X would break the rule. Like me saying I fear my kid breaks the commandment "Thou shalt not kill." Yknow, when my kid is also years more advanced than any other living being and could become an unstoppable force if he went rogue.

However, it is not explicitly stated in MM&B that he has any idea if King's invasion is backed by Dr. Wily. The whole deceit trick may have been done to death, but Mega Man does have a tendency to fall for it.
You really can't ever be too sure. Its the way it usually turns out, but you cannot be entirely sure Wily IS behind it, until it is revealed. A random Robot comes out of nowhere, claiming to want to free robots and all that jazz, and supposedly attacked not only the Robot museum, but kicked Wily out of his own lab, and that was a pretty unusual, interesting plan Wily made.

I chalk up Burner man's weakness to simply game design. They created this ice block Rock can use as a platform since he cannot double jump or use the Rush adapter. So how do they incorporate it to the fire boss as a weakness? Well, why not have it push the boss into spikes? Burnerman cringes and kind of locks up at the block because he's fire and it's ice, and as a result, is pushed into spikes, which do the actual damage.

Quote
In the end, he does wind up defeating him. And he does explode. But mind you, I did say just the head was human, right? There are plenty of fictional cyborgs that can survive with only a brain, and since he comes back in the Fortress levels, perhaps his head was found and he was rebuilt?
And Rock then kills him again.

I think you are just looking far too deeply into this. just because he is the only Human faced Robot master does not automatically make him a cyborg. Other Robot masters from other games have quirky weaknesses too, and or facial expressions, that doesnt make them cyborgs.
And again, the Classic series never delved into that kind of technology. It's far too serious a concept for the scope of Classic, which is googly eyed robots fighting other googly eyed robots, with a balding Einstein expy mad scientist as the ever foiled villain. X which is far more serious, only FLIRTED with the idea, with Serges and Isoc, with Wily somehow still being around, "brought back by the virus". Only the Zero series ever actually played it straight with Weil, and took him 3 of the 4 games to show up.

You're backing your argument based on a non canon source? Seriously?
Sure, why not? Made by Capcom, right? May not be a 100% best source, but certain elements are definitely salvageable, such as Zero calling Roll a Housekeeping Reploid because he just can't tell the difference, thus proving that in the 21XX world, Classic series robots would still be considered Reploids since they are also sentient androids, very similar to Reploids, simply set aback by inferior technology and mental capacity. (they sure as hell are not mechaniloids, right?)

Quote
Rock does not explicitly hurt Dr. Wily, but attacks the machine that Wily is inside, without harming him.
Irrelevant.

"1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

Rock directly attacks a machine with Wily inside, causing it to explode. There is GREAT risk of Wily being seriously hurt. I wouldn't quite expect you to be fine after YOUR car blows up with you inside, no? Rock, far back in 1, had no way of knowing if Wily could or could not be injured by his machine's destruction.

And I mean, come on. You are attacking his machines with such things as tossed Sawblades, concussive explosives, and even miniature black holes. You cant seriously tell me There is absolutely no risk for him to get hurt, especially when you always attack the COCKPIT where he is seated once the initial Skull facade is broken.
And Wily DOES get hurt by it. Comedic value aside, he ALWAYS ends up scuffed, bruised, clothes torn, and sometimes missing a tooth or two.

 
Quote
He never kills Wily, let alone directly; not even in MM7, where in the Japanese version he obediently followed the First Rule of Robotics.
Of course he would not kill Wily. You dont need the 3 rules to keep Rock from killing people. He knows it's wrong. He fights for justice and peace. When Wily, taken aback by Rock's sudden lapse of moral judgement, questioned it, Rock didn't say anything. he just stood there, most likely realizing it was wrong. Dont underestimate his sense of Justice. The same sense of Justice that had him volunteer to be converted into a battle robot to stop his rampant brother robots.

Also, there is this:

"2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law."

Rock would have to obey every order given to him by Wily. He would have to obey if Wily told him to stand down.

Asimovian Robots do not good battle robots make.

EDIT: the 0th law would also cause a paradox for Rock. It states that a Robot may not harm Humanity, or by inaction, allow it to come to harm.

so yes, that means he would have tofight against Wily to protect Humanity, since Wily can cause damages and harm people.

BUT, by attacking Wily and going against him, a Human, he would be breaking the first law, where he cannot allow Wily to be harmed or come to harm. he would also be breaking the second law, where he must obey any orders given him by a Human. And naturally, Any order Wily gives him would also break the first 2 laws, or the third even, if he were to order Mega Man to terminate himself.

It's totally possible they already had the Final Weapon, and simply migrated to it as a base of operations once they left Earth.

Or it was some kind of super weapon/earth defense weapon left over from whenever and they appropriated it.

"They think you're responsible for the fall of the city! Drop your weapons and come with us so we can clear it up!"
"YOU ORADAR US TO CAST ASIDE OUR HONOUR?! WE WILL DO NO SUCH THING"

minutes later

"THEY WANT US TO DROP OUR WEAPONS FOR INVESTIGATION. WHAT SHALL WE DO?"
"BUILD A GIANT-ASS SPACE CANNON SO THEY DON'T TRY TO KILL US ALL"


Not all Reploids are smart indeed.

Colonel is pretty much SOLELY responsible for the Repliforce war.

I totally missed this while reading earlier:

Why, that would be the First Rule of Robotics in place, here.

   It's the quickest way around the First Rule;
Well now you are just assuming that Mega Man Robots even HAVE the rules of robotics hard coded and are bound by them. Mega Man sure doesn't, otherwise he would be completely unable to fight Wily 1 on 1 in their final showdowns. The rules, (or at least the first one,) exist in the mega man universe, but the robots don't seem bound by them, it seems like more of a moral guideline, since they are all sentient robots anyway and understand that hurting people is wrong. Or, as far as Classic goes, are just not programmed to do such a thing. Their programming is advanced and lifelike, but in the end it is still not entirely the same as a Human. Their personalities and moral compass are based on their creator's desires. Such as Rock having a strong sense of justice, or Bass being proud as a Peacock.

Also, non canon cameos to the universe for sure, but in MvC 1,2 and TvC, Rock and Roll have absolutely no problem fighting Human characters.
Quote
his programming-induced hesitation. It isn't his "weakness", par say, but an ingenious way to defeat him.
He has no such thing. He attacks Wily all the damn time.

Also,

"....through action or inaction...."

Burnerman is a fun design. But an [dark hold] of a boss. Only thing that makes Dynamoman any difficult is the fact that he can heal himself and if you are not Bass, you will have a more difficult time breaking his charger.

As for a Cyborg...

I don't think so... That kind of tech, that level of tech doesn't seem to have popped up until the Elf Wars, where it was used to Punish Weil for his crimes, and did not become more advanced until ZX, where it became commonplace. (Then again, having a nigh unkillable regenerative body is pretty damn advanced... even compared to ZX cyborgs)
