No but seriously though why does every japanese robot person have a colored dickplate

Because he's a sniper.

What perplexes me is that he used to be a good guy. Made by Light for the good of mankind.

Where did I mention the Protomen?

The story of Mega Man 1 is that Wily reprogrammed all the robots he and Light Built.

Obviously Light built the robots with peace in mind. That includes sniper joe. It's why almost every enemy in megaman is cute and some kind of animal.

the same reasoning applies to the X series. All the robots you fight were normal happy robots until they became mavericks and inexplicably all gained some kind of deadly weapon. Including cars and fucking flamingos.

He's got a shield though so I can assume his main focus would be some kind of swat team.

He is a boy, but when in the suit he takes responsibility over the peace of the world and becomes a man. He simultaneously lives both as a "human" boy and as the guardian of the earth. He is a "man" in the sense of his understanding of duty and justice.

Mega man is deep shit.

Wasn't that only the Robot Masters? I thought the Sniper Joes were built by Wily.
>>
>>343243173
The comics suggest it was made as part of a military contract, and protoman is an evolution of the sniper joe (better shield, better blaster) as well as becoming the first robot master.

In the games I have no fucking idea how sniper Joe was made, could've been Wily or Light, maybe even both before the split.
>>
>>343245974
>protoman is an evolution of the sniper joe

Isn't it the other way around? Doesn't Protoman hate Sniper Joes because it's his design?

The sniper joes were built by wily and modeled after proto man. If you remember wily was the one who saved proto man by giving him a nuclear reactor, in this time wily gain a better understanding on robotics. Protoman feels partly responsibe for wilywily's schemes abd fights against him because of this.

This theory never made sense, and has been debunked by the only person with face value on the franchise and both X and Classic series to comment on it.

>>343251496
Dr Wily could not have traveled 37,426 years into the future to capture Mega Man even if it was peaceful. And if he didn't do that, I feel inclined to ignore the manual altogether, which is the only source that even says Quint is Mega Man.

That's a translation change, all of the MM1 RMs are Light's bots in the Japanese version.

Maybe he decided it was time for a new mega man, maybe he was tired, maybe he felt betrayed by dr.light creating X.

Don't the bots in Mega Man have artificial skin and blood? Wouldn't his face have disintegrated if he'd been inactive long enough for moss to start growing on him?

You know the original Mega Man must have had a bad end, though. Otherwise, Dr. Light wouldn't have built a replacement that wouldn't be activated until after he'd been long dead. Rock was basically Dr. Light's son, and he probably made X as a means of grieving for him. It's possibly also why X is designed to be a teenager / young adult-- Dr. Light basically designed him to be what he imagined Rock would be like if he'd gotten to grow up.

Knowing that X could never truly replace Rock in his heart though, he opted not to activate him, because he felt like he'd be living a lie and / or dishonoring Rock's memory by trying to replace him.
>>
>>343254382
C'mon Dr Light was working on X long before Mega Man met whatever his end was. And even if Light make a third son out of abandonment issues like you suggest: he'd have activated him right away and just told him time passed.
>>
>>343242219
Megaboy would likely not be taken as seriously as Megaman. But he's definitely a boy, and a super cute one at that.
>>
>>343254382
Moss can seed really really fast.

Also can you name something in nature that eats ceramics or titanium? Because... that's what Robot Masters tend to be made of.
>>
>>343254339
Astro Boy is pretty bullshit in the things he does, even Mega Man's video game main character plot armor wouldn't help him.
>>
>>343254382
>Don't the bots in Mega Man have artificial skin and blood?
Skin depends on the artist, robots bleeding in this series has been pretty on and off.

Zero has blood in his mouth after he blows up in X1, the reploids Double kills are clearly bleeding in X4, in the Japanese version of the Zero games you can see blood from things when you cut them in half.

But other games don't show blood, so like the skin its a case by case thing.
>>
>>343254382
X lived for 1000 years I'm pretty sure. His face and armor were all in good condition when his physical body was destroyed.
>>
>>343254339
Astro boy is arguably the strogest character in the history of manga and anime, he wins no doubt. Bullshit though since they're basically the same character, small robot children fighting for peace between humans and robots.
