RPM's WikiSpace (Wikipedia itself once mentioned it, but it looks like it's been removed) tells me that episode 27 of the Ruby-Spears Megaman cartoon never aired, with episode 28 being "Crime of the Century".

My question is, is this just a fluke, or did ep. 27 really not air? If the latter, then for what reasons? My best guess is that it was still in progress when the show's plug was pulled, or if it was finished, then they just didn't bother. It being unfinished would explain why it's not on the DVDs, at any rate.

The 'pedia says:

1995.12.03: Mega X
1995.12.10: Crime of the Century

7 days between them. Maybe the unaired episode was put on hold, or maybe it doesn't exist at all. >v< </psp>

MAYBE either Crime of the Century OR Mega X really be the missing 27th ep; there was no 28 in my book (Watched 'em all.. IN ORDER!)~

To my knowledge, the only "unaired" episode was the pilot/promo

I posted it. It had Zero in it, and the Sigma Virus.

This still makes me laugh pretty much every time I watch it.

Cant say any differently.

The Great Gonzo · **Reply #9 on:** September 06, 2009, 02:35:11 AM

Me neither.

I'm really thinking it might just be a Wikipedian goof--maybe whoever was writing the episode guide got something confused. And I don't think anyone at Ruby-Spears responds to emails nowadays, so...

What ARE you talking about?

Keno · **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2009, 07:16:50 AM

He stopped working on it because finding the clips was too much work.

Fragman · **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2009, 10:55:53 PM

So Ruby spears didn't air an episode? That sure was nice of them. Do you think they can do that for the rest of the series?

Keno · **Reply #14 on:** September 10, 2009, 12:35:48 AM

You're foolish.

GTFO. *patiently waits for the day when bashing the cartoon becomes unfashionable*

VixyNyan · **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2009, 12:47:57 AM

Leave the cartoon alone.
Some of us like it~ </wii>

Keno · **Reply #17 on:** September 10, 2009, 01:41:18 AM

Anyone that counts likes it.

Fragman · **Reply #18 on:** September 11, 2009, 08:25:53 AM

It's nothing fashionable about it. I've seen it and it's bad. The writing is bad, the artwork is bad, and it's clearly created by people who have no respect for what Megaman should be. That's how I feel about it. I look at it and I see a betrayal of the spirit of the series. I think people just cling to it because it's the only animated series to represent classic Megaman.

Really, you'd be hard pressed to find a Zelda fan who loves the old Zelda cartoons, so I don't see why liking Ruby Spears Megaman is somehow sacred to parts of the fandom. Most fans of Batman turn away in disgust from the 1960's series, and you'd be hard pressed to find a Fantastic Four fan who'd defend the "The Thing" cartoon. I mean if it's just your tastes in animation, I don't see why, but you're entitled to that, but there's no reason to cling to it just because you want to be a bigger fan of Megaman.

Just my two cents on the matter.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. The huge majority of Batman fans I know are huge, HUGE fans of the Adam West Batman series, myself included. Campy as it may be, that series is a damn near perfect representation of what the comic was like back in the 60's, and it's enjoyable to look back upon. That series is still currently the most wanted TV series on DVD that has not come out yet.

I like zelda and I liked the cartoon, the whole SMBSS in fact, even the live action bits x3 I dunno, can't you think of the Ruby-Spears cartoon as it's own thing? It's jus a goofy cartoon o.o

It can be argued that the rap intro to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show is among the greatest cartoon openings ever.

However, I agree with Cephi. Yeah, Super Fighting Robot MegaMan is definitely not a true representation of the Classic series, or even that good in the grand scheme of things. But I still think it's a lot of fun. It's cheesy, it has a kick ass opening, the VA work is awesome (I mean, no one but Scott McNeil should ever EVER be allowed to voice Dr. Wily), and it's just goofy like Cephi said. I mean, I'm a hardcore Blues fan and I still enjoy the show even though Blues is evil and has no Shield!

Bag of Magic Food · **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:04:46 PM

I thought it was a pretty good representation of the classic series. Every adaptation makes a few changes, and you wouldn't even notice them if all you had seen was gameplay footage.

You, sir, have clearly forgotten Captain N and NAdM.

Now I´m asking me, what would have been the outcome, if Keiji Inafune was the producer instead of Joe Ruby and Ken Spears?
