Headscratchers / Mega Man 6

  • Why were the Robot Masters classified as DWN models? Weren't they built by other robotics experts for robot tournament, and not Wily?
    • It's easier to list them as DWN numbers so Capcom won't have to make up entirely new scientists which make one-time appearances in 6 then never appear again.
    • How does the series/model numbering work in-universe anyway? The first DRN line is logical enough. DWN models start with 009 and goes to 024, DCN gets 025-032, then DWN starts again at 033 and goes up to 064. Light's second line gets 065-072. Wouldn't it have been more logical with "DWN 001-48", "DCN 001-008" and "DRN 009-16"? Not that I'm complaining too much since it makes it easier to keep track of them, but it still bugs me. Especially since there's other models that don't follow this pattern.
      • Maybe Wily, egotist that he was, considered the Cossack Bots his for purposes of filing numbers and such. Because, after all, it was his beautiful plan! That Dr. Cossack fool was just a pawn! Mwahahaha!
      • ...that's bloody brilliant, and also fits the tournament bots. This is now part of my personal fanon.
      • Perhaps Light built 56 robots between the events of Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 9. Cossack is similar, as he could have built 24 robots prior to Mega Man 4.
      • Besides, the Wily Archive shows that all of the Robot Masters are still in Wily's arsenal.
  • In the ending after Mega Man arrests Wily and he's sent to jail, the front page of a newspaper is shown displaying a story on it. The thing is, the headline (aside from "Dr. Wily") seems to be written in some sort of bizarre nonsense alphabet where the symbols just vaguely resemble English letters. This seems to imply that in the far-off future of 20XX, not only is everything aside from proper nouns written in this symbol set, but spoken words are completely different from written ones, since Mega Man characters always speak in actual real-life languages like English or Japanese. What's up with that?
    • What's up is that it's an NES game that was not able to accurately portray newsprint.
