History WesternAnimation / MegaManRubySpears

* CatSmile: Proto Man makes one in "The Beginning."

** More than one publication has even mistaken the show for an anime. This included the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 version of ''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'' and the [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family Channel]], which aired the show as part of their "Anime Hour" block.

** Ice Man utterly dominates both the heroes and villains in his debut episode thanks to creative use of his ice powers. He's able to defeat Mega Man in a one-on-one fight, force Dr. Light to make him his own army of robot minions, and use those same minions to try and one-up Dr. Wily.

** Despite Wily and his robots being somewhat savvy, they missed several opportunities to outright kill Mega Man. In "Campus Commandos" the Robot Masters had Mega Man at their mercy, twice. The first time they locked him in a closet and the second time they tied him to gears in a clock and left him alone. In "Brain Bot" they handcuffed Mega Man to the floor and was going to crush him, but they again left him alone instead of staying to make sure he died. In "Showdown at Red Gulch" they had Mega Man completely at their mercy after they knocked him out, but instead of finishing him they tied him to a horse and sent him off into the desert.

* BeachEpisode: "Curse of the Lion Men" had the heroes on vacation in Hawaii. Several fanservicey girls were seen, both in human and lioness forms.

** Roll was originally a mere house robot, but here, she can fight foes off on her own; sometimes with just her cleaning tools.

* OffModel:
** A promotional image for the cartoon featuring Mega and Rush [[AssKickingPose looking like they're ready to kick some Robot Master ass]]; what is supposed to be Mega's abs instead looks like a lumpy EldritchAbomination on his stomach.
** Almost everyone in "Curse of the Lion Men" was this.

%%* {{Bishonen}}: Mega Man, sort of.
%%** Proto Man qualifies too.

* SecondLawMyAss: How ThreeLawsCompliant the robots are is questionable, but Proto Man has absolutely no problem disobeying the Second Law given how many times he disobeys Wily or even undermines his orders, something no other robot built by Wily can do. (This situation is somewhat mirrored by Bass and Wily's relationship in the games, so there is fandom speculation Protoman might have an overriding perogative in his programming that provides a loophole away from complete obedience.

* ServantRace: How Wily seems to view robots. They live only to serve him.

* ShockAndAwe: Elec Man and Dark Man's powers. They both can shoot lightning, albeit in different ways-- Elec Man's Thunder Beam acts more of a standard electric weapon, whilst Dark Man's Electromagnetic Net is designed to immobilise targets rather than destroy them.
