As most artists in RPM or anywhere would tell you, we can draw inspiration from our experiences as children or from everyday experiences. Most of us know that Mega Man was inspired off of Astro Boy, Speed Racer, a hint of Gundam and just about anything from the InafKing's childhood experiences but would Super Sentai be included in the mix? I had seen some Gatchaman on Toonami, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight adapted from Kamen Rider Ryuki and who in America hadn't watched Power Rangers but compared to Inafune who had probably watched countless anime and Super Sentai shows, that isn't much. I was looking at Wikipedia the other day and I researched some of the shows ehre I can see the inspirations from some of the robots and navies came from. I tried to find some examples of characters that look some of Robot masters but the only thing I could up was Protoman who looks like a cross the Red Ranger and Racer X but nevertheless I had some revelation that Mega Man and all of his incarnations had been inspired off of some various Super Sentai shows.
