Headscratchers / Mega Man 10

• How does Wily catch a robot disease?
  • He didn't. He caught a plain old cold. Mega Man's just an (admittedly lovable) idiot.
    • But in Bass's ending he thinks Wily caught Roboenza too...
    • When was it ever implied that Bass was smart? He's probably a little thickheaded, considering his personality.
    • Note that Proto Man just thinks it's a regular cold Wily got in a form of Karmic Justice.
    • Well, they are robots. Roboenza is probably their only personal experience with some form of disease, so of course they'd think that Wily, who was exhibiting Roboenza-like symptoms, contracted Roboenza.
  • Why was the ending so freakin' short?
    • It's just another throwback to the retro style of the game. Back in those days you were lucky to get more than a screen that summed up the events following the game's end and "Congratulation".
• How does Wily get the time, money, and resources required to build a huge tower that extends from his already immense Skull Fortress all the way up into space? And why would he even bother the first place, in a world where teleportation and space travel are likely common everyday things?
  • How would a thing that huge not fall over? It defies all physics!
    • The tower is probably high enough from the ground to be in orbit, not unlike a space station.
  • There's not enough metal in the world to make that thing.
  • Remember all the money he hoodwinked people out of in 9?]
  • First time I saw it, I assumed the beggining of the dark part just got an antenna that pointed straight up to a geostationary satelite, so most of the line you see forming is just Mega Man teleporting in wave form.
  • Maybe Wily rebuilt Crystal Man so he was able to continue selling his artificial crystals. With Crystal Man at work, the sky's the limit, literally.
• Ehy does Auto hide his identity from Proto Man in the item shop? (With only a Met helmet, but that's beside the point)
  • Somebody (probably already in this page) said that it's because Proto Man is a rebel; going to Auto with the Met helmet is probably an equivalent (for Proto Man anyway) of going to the black market. That, or he doesn't trust Auto, so he needs a disguise.
    • In the beginning of 7 Auto says he likes the Met helmet, so he could just be trying to seem cool like Proto Man by "hiding" his identity with a snazzy helm.
  • Auto's kind of goofy, so he probably thinks that the Metall helmet helps hides his identity. I'd think that Proto Man has never met Auto before, since if he's keeping an eye on anyone, it's probably Mega Man. Thus, Auto thinks the disguise is working, but Proto Man doesn't know who Auto is to start with.
