I'm a hopeless, obsessive nerd when it comes to Mega Man knowledge. I try to learn as much as I can :)

@MetaKirbSter : The Bond Man story is an interesting one. As I recall, his "weapon" was a powerful glue. Because of time constraints, he ended up getting cut from Mega Man 1 because they only had enough time/resources to do 6 stages (there were originally going to be 8 bosses like the other games). It's possible to find some concept art of him floating around somewhere on the Internet.

Apparently Keiji Inafune considered adding him in for Mega Man: Powered Up, but chose not to for some reason.

@Topmegaplaya : OK. I wasn't trying to condescend to you or insult you, I was just giving you some information. You asserted something as fact that I felt was wrong, so I wanted to help with some info on the issue.

@Topmegaplaya : No it isn't. It has been mistranslated in the past as "Clash Man", but it isn't his Japanese name. Due to the fact that, to simplify the matter, the Japanese language does not have "r" and "l" sounds, but rather one sound somewhere in between the two, there's not really any way to look at Japanese material and get a definitive answer as to which one was the intended pronounciation. In Japanese and English games alike, Crash Man's name has been written alternately as "Crash" and "Clash".

In any case, crash makes a lot more sense, so it's likely that Crash is the intended name.

Cool! That's exciting to hear.

I know everyone hates the PC guys (and for good reason), but as I said, I love obscure characters. For some reason, I rather like the idea of taking a lackluster - or just plain bad - character and trying to salvage them into something good (probably because I have done that several times with characters I made up years ago). I felt even more strongly about it after re-visiting the page on the Mechanical Maniacs' site that talks about the PC games.

I see someone just recently brought up the question I was thinking about, namely the Archie characters. If I may, I'd like to build on that with some other things I've been thinking of. Granted, since I'm new here, it's entirely possible these ideas have come up before and I just missed it.

Basically, I noticed that placeholders have been put up for the majority of the robots, and there were some missing. Given that you had the idea of "classic-izing" some of the Navis with no classic counterpart (which is a very cool idea), I figured the staff here is interested in covering as many of the characters in Classic MM as possible. I love the idea of having all these characters in one place, and I have always loved the most obscure of characters.

Anyways, down to my question/suggestion - are there any plans to include the following:
-Dark Man's forms from MM5
-Fake Man from the MM9 DLC
-Evil Mega Man from MMPU
-The Robot Masters from the two licensed PC games (Mega Man and Mega Man 3)
-The Robot Masters from the Rockman & Forte sequel for the WonderSwan (and possibly Rockman Shadow)
-The original bosses from Rockman Strategy
-Bond Man, the Robot Master who was ultimately cut from MM1

I don't really remember how I came across the game. I think people may have mentioned it on forums somewhere, and I put on my list of things to take a look at eventually. I only got around to it today, and it's pretty cool.
