Headscratchers / Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)

• The infamous episode "Robosaur Park" features Wily creating a de-evolution serum that devolves humanoid robots into more ape-like robots. Fansite The Mega Man Homepage put it best: "Why did the robots de-evolve into apes? Shouldn't they have turned into toasters or something?"
  • If Dr. Wily has a handheld gun that can reprogram or turn off robots, why doesn't he just turn it on Mega Man and Roll? If it wouldn't reprogram them, it'd at least shut them off, buying him time.
    • It's likely that Mega Man and Roll are more advanced than the other robot masters. In the pilot episode, he doesn't use the reprogramming gun on them like the others, even after he captures them. Instead, he takes them back to his lab for what looks like a do-it-yourself lobotomy to make them easier to reprogram.
  • In "The Day The Moon Fell", Wily's scheme involves a machine called a Gravitron that is pulling the moon out of its orbit. Light reveals that he built a Gravitron in his youth, and he may have some files to help counteract Wily's invention. He finds archive footage of himself and Wily in their college days; turns out college Wily stole the device and the files without Light knowing. The theft was on the tape. This is apparently the first time Light saw the video. Why would he even make the video if he wasn't going to watch it?
  • The entire premise of "Campus Commandos". Why would robots need to go to school, if they can already be programmed to perform specific functions in the first place?
    • It's been suggested that the students want to learn things progressively, like humans.
  • In "Robo Spider", Dr. Light analyzes a piece of the giant spider's web that he took from its initial attack. He says he can invent a device that can turn its energy-draining powers back on itself, but he needs a copy of the web's schematic to do so. Mega Man volunteers to get a copy, using the same technique he uses to copy robot master weapons. Cool plot, except for one thing; you already have a piece of the web, so why did Mega Man and Roll have to travel through hell and high water to copy another piece of the web?
  • In "Curse of the Lion Men", if it was meant to be a curse, then why would they be given the ability to turn innocent people into other lion men or women?
    • Perhaps the entity inflicting the curse was of the trickster variety. That, or they felt that everyone else had to suffer for not stopping the original Lion Men.
    • Cause back then planes weren't invented, meaning that for all their power, the Lion Men would be stuck on an island forever.
  • Why the hell does Wily constantly use Cut Man and Guts Man for his schemes when he's shown to have created far more superior and threatening and competent robots himself (Pharaoh Man and Crystal Man)? Sure, they were created by Dr. Light and could serve as some sort of insult to him, but wouldn't he want to prove that his robots are better by defeating Mega Man with them?
