Yeah, apparently Wood Man is his favorite from MM2? I always thought Wood Man was pretty shitty, to be honest.

[Fluffdick]

Ice Man is the best btw

Also I love wild mass guessing for theories of this kind, especially because it could just as well be the truth.

wait what is this.

This actually can't be the truth. As a theory it dosen't hold up. Wily wants to take over the world, not stop robots from becoming too powerful.

He could be thinking he's doing the right thing but you can't paint him as a hero. He's not that deep. He wants to rule the world. He, on a regular basis, creates machines that have no purpose but to blow things up.

Hell, if you'll notice designs, when Wily uses Light's robots they tend to not be threatening, and their "weapons" can be used mostly as tools. Except Magma Man. I'm not sure what shooting fire helps.

When Wily does it? These are weapons. It's hard to find a tool that shoots sawblades at high speeds. Or throwing tomahawks. Or spinning fast enough to go through metal. Or even just shooting MISSILES.

Wily has no secondary ideals. He wants to world to follow him, and he will destroy anything in his way.

I think it's fairly obvious who I think's the coolest Master though. :B

Pie Man.

Also Galaxy Man thanks for missing the entire point of the article

What, exactly, is the point? Because what it looks like to me is that it's trying to explain that Wily is actually trying to to good.

Which is just generally wrong.

Wily was utterly nonplussed by the short-sightedness of these machines' designs. A robot that could instantly generate powerful explosives? Another with massive shears that could cut through the densest of materials? These were walking weapons! How could Light be so foolish!?

According to the article, he dosen't try to stop walking weapons, no. He instead controls them and attacks the world.

And when that fails? He builds literal walking weapons.

All the while, trying to fight a protector that is actually fighting against what Wily is apparently not only fighting against but in his fight against it is CREATING it.

That's not trying to help the world.

Most egregiously, no one seemed worried that Robot Master AI encryption was continually being broken.

This in particular happens TWICE. Megaman 1, and 9. The first time was just taking over their programming, but in 9 he actually has to TRICK the robots in order to do it.

There was no more room for subtlety. He would construct a machine fueled entirely by hate and anger, a demon with the singular purpose of annihilating all other robots without pity or remorse. Wily's greatest creation would purge the world of the mechanical cancer through raw, unbridled power. Though the humans would never realize it, the android Zero would be their savior.

And this is just completely wrong. Zero was created WITH the Zero Virus. bodaciously the virus that became the Maverick Virus. The virus that turns robots against humans.

Some did it by choice, but the Sigma/Maverick Virus was what actually started the Maverick Wars.

So, Wily created a robot that was carrying a virus that made him want to destroy humans and sent him into an uncontrollable rage, in order to stop robots from wanting to destroy humans and go into an uncontrollable rage.

There are issues with continuity in that, not to mention the issues with basic logic.

Where is my MegaMan ZX 3, dammit! I want to see more of the story, Capcom!

[Crushter]

Napalm Man?

I mean, he'd set a snake on fire, if you catch my drift.

[Magnemight]

Magnet Man is obviously the best Robot Master, I don't see how you can argue against that. He's magnetic, he wins by default.

Apart from that, Spring Man is up there too, considering that, well, he can be turned into an electromagnet by shooting him with Cloud Man's weapon. Pretty awesome.

[Chloemew]

your avatar is awesome

Burnerman's pretty cool too. Although I guess technically speaking, he's hot.
