History NightmareFuel / TheProtomen

** The robot masters as presented in the music video are themselves significantly different and creepier than their game counterparts. [[http://protomen.com/act1/images/wallpapers/elecface.jpg Especially Elecman]], [[NightmareFace dear god, the face]].

* The Sniper managed to keep the entire City in line through fear alone. It nearly chokes Joe to death, too.

* As Dr. Light speaks in the beginning of "Here Comes the Arm," there's high-pitched, siren-like synthesizer waves representing Wily's control-and that the building is about to come down on his head. It's punctuated in the notes by thousands of Snipers marching out of Wily's fortress.

** It's punctuated in the notes by ''thousands of Snipers'' marching out of Wily's fortress.

* In live versions of "The Sons of Fate," even if the banter beforehand is silly, they play the song itself straight. Including Protoman waving a gatling gun in your face, the crowd that you're a part of calling for his death, and Wily's orders to kill them all.
* "Fade to Phil," the extended version of "Due Vendetta," has creepy 8-bit chiptunes that keep playing as the song gets more and more distorted, eventually fading to static.

* In an interview from 2011, Panther said the following: "In total, The Protomen story is a tragedy. I don’t really expect it to end well for humanity." That's right, it's potentially going to get ''worse''!

* Wily's takeover in 'The Hounds'.

* In 'Give Us the Rope', the crowd calls for Light to be hung, even after he was found innocent.

** The music video on the website makes it even ''worse''. Among other things, Protoman gets hit so hard his jawbone shatters, has an arm chopped off, and has his ''face'' electrocuted, creating the image of a skull; said electrocution is this page's image.

** The lyrics, while mainly depressing, are frightening in that it shows how bad the City's gotten.
