He is basically the Prototype of a reploid. Only reason he was even "Thrown away" was because he ran away when he was gonna need to get some fixes done to his power supply.
X and Proto Man have no relation to each other, but they fall under the same "conscience" aspect of Reploids. If someone says they'll upgrade X as an order, the reploid has the option to say no. If someone says they'll upgrade Proto Man as an order, he will do as commanded, because he's still not independent enough. But if the upgrade is OPTIONAL, then Proto Man can choose. He's indeed a pre-Reploid in that regard.
Oh, it"s both. It's definitely both. I'd say it's a threat *disguised* as a warning. Like saying "Unless you stand aside, you will *definitely* be destroyed no matter what happens to me. So do you want to live, or do you want to guarantee your death?" All from behind those shades that hide if he's bluffing. (Assuming he's even capable, obv.)
Proto Man getting all philosophical and being stoic and dreary while facing off against goofy, colorful cartoon robots in an art style that gives everyone the proportions of a baby is funny to me.
"It's always been on my mind... What it means to be born with weapons in our hands. I haven't found the answers yet, but with the powers you've given me, I shall crush you villainy." So cool...
Protoman has some really profound dialogue for some of these; he's always given the classic series that hint of the X philosophy of existence, and it really shines here.
Honestly, it's kind of a travesty that the X series never included Proto Man in some way. Imagine if he somehow survived his unstable core and went around playing a mentor role to X and Zero every now and then, knowing he can’t fight any 22nd-century reploid but still administering sage advice as a living relic? Or even just leaving behind his own messages for X to find?
- "Robots are machines that follow orders. I'm a machine that doesn't, so what does that make me?" - "Must eliminate. Eliminate." I couldn't agree more.
-Yes, that's the spirit, Fireman. Just use it the right way the next time you awaken. -FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!!!!!!! What a comeback...
according to the Acrchie comic, Protoman was created as a prototype for combat robots, because Light needed the money. The army liked the results, but thought he was a bit too sophisticated, so the finished product became the Joe series
Jonathan Love is so underappreciated compared to Scott McNeil as this character. This is a more true-to-form incarnation, and not even being a chibi can slow him down.
"That madman. Even worse than those Joe robots, to think he'd make something like this!" I take Protoman hates copies of himself besides Dr. Light allowing unfinished robots.
Protoman should have said this. Robot master: Who the heck are you? Protoman: your long lost brother. Robot master: hah! really? Protoman: and soon, you shall be long lost as well!
2:45 "Whatever! Listen -- fighting fireworks and festivals are where it's at!" Fighting fireworks and festivals...? I mean I can see the commas in that sentance, but the voice actor can't. Listen to that execution.
Can we all just appreciate the fact they added protoman as a playable character in this game in the first place. They really did go all out on it, but adding a character that didn't even get introduced until the 3dr game
I sense a hint of sadness in his voice, like he doesn't want to destroy them. Protoman must be having some inner conflict. also at 4:58 SUPER AWESOME LINE
(Protoman versus Bass intro) Bass: Protoman? It's been so long. Protoman: Bass? It has been so long. Bass: Come at me any time, Protoman. (Battle begins) Bass: Let us begin.
Secret Boss Fight: Bass. Bass: Ugh! You again. Protoman: Bass. Still want to defeat Mega Man? I told you a thousand times that you can't beat him! Bass: SHUT UP! I don't care how many times I lost against Mega Man! I'll keep fighting against Mega Man and prove that I am the strongest robot in the world! Protoman: I won't let that happen, Bass!
"Robots are machines that follow orders. I'm a machine that doesn't. So what does that make me?" That line is so. FUCKING. RAW. That's like yearbook quote territory. This man is way too cool to only get a major role in like. 4 games? Capcom please give Proto Man his own game
Yay for 500 videos Azure! Congrats! (and I agree with you on Proto's voice, it's in the delivery.) But... and I have to ask, but why did he choose Yellow Devil to say "Be careful not to hit my unstable core"? I thought it was kind of random... I had to giggle at "Iceman, this may be a little painful... but hang in there"
Archie Comics' canon addresses this. When he realises his error (near the end of the first core's demolition) and returns to Light Labs, he sees Rock and Roll and believes that he's been replaced.
So in the Archie Canon, it's not so much that he's unfinished, it's more like jealousy? That's more of a viable reason for a grudge. I should try finding the Archie Mega Man comics. They seem like a fun read.
@Lucareji I think when wily refers to the "programmed differently back then" spiel in all the character's banter, he refers to when he didn't abduct your character.he's talkin about the events of the recent past, thus, "back then"
For some reason I like how Protoman talks and most of his lines, Sure he likes to talk about himself,but about the incompleteness only when he's around those that are like him. Robots Incomplete with a unstable core or about Sniper Joe though understandable on Sniper Joe but he does worry for robots with unstable cores its a scary thought to think about constantly. Also I like how he questions about his creation the thought why he was programed for fighting and nothing else.
I think it’s absolutely hilarious how everything around him is cute as shit but protoman speaking like an X or Zero era character
true
He’s the eldest, so he’s trying to be the mature sibling.
If you think about it, Protoman is the closest thing to a reploid, since he always act on his own and stuff.
He is basically the Prototype of a reploid. Only reason he was even "Thrown away" was because he ran away when he was gonna need to get some fixes done to his power supply.
Pena que não dar pra jogar com o zero no maverick
Wily: Talking like an angry 3-year old.
Proto Man: Talking like a philosophy major.
Imagine a machine being more sabe then you
Well, when you have a backstory like his...
Tbf Philosophy is quite litteraly the only thing he has, seeing as he was only built as a prototype without an actual purpose in existance
In this game, Dr. Wily sounds a bit like Weevil Underwood from Yu-Gi-Oh.
I love how Proto Man is willing to help others, but still points out that he's not doing it for his dad, who he's estranged himself from.
Oil Man just really wanted him to compliment his scarf.
Poor oily boi

SO THIS WHOLE TIME HE'S BEEN A PROTOTYPE OF X, NOT MEGA MAN?!?!?
@@daniphofani3473 Technically since he's a prototype of every robot that came after him, and X is usually considered to be an advanced Mega Man, yes.

That's because He is... Batmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
I thought i was the only one who heard batman in his voice
He's pretty much the Bat Man in Mega Man's story.

Ok but what about oil man
So is Blues.
@THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 Although he *temporarily* fixed him. I think his core is still unstable

Protoman is such a badass.

to me he sounds like batman

"This isnt your site anyways"
BBUURRRNNN!!!!
Protoman just BURNED Gutsman! XD
I imagine flameman yelling that out
Who voiced Proto in this game? He sounds like Batman. No, seriously, listen to him. He's like the Batman of Mega Man.
He's voiced by Jonathan Love. He voiced Shu in the Blue Water dub of Dragon Ball.

I get it.

Protoman should have said this.
Robot master: Who the heck are you?
Protoman: your long lost brother.
Robot master: hah! really?
Protoman: and soon, you shall be long lost as well!
Oilman definitely
2:45 "Whatever! Listen -- fighting fireworks and festivals are where it's at!"
Fighting fireworks and festivals...? I mean I can see the commas in that sentance, but the voice actor can't. Listen to that execution.

He has the most natural dialogue out of everyone besides Mega Man tbh
Wily should know Protoman! He literally helped Light build him!
I don't think that's the case. Regardless, he does know Protoman, as he repaired him, which is even referenced in his dialogue with Protoman.
I think Wily was playing with Proto Man's head to demotivate him.
Did you not see the last one?
YO
PROTO
ME
"hmph i are perfection" ~timeman
Proto Man: Stop. This isn't your site anyway.

(Protoman versus Bass intro)
Bass: Protoman? It's been so long.
Protoman: Bass? It has been so long.
Bass: Come at me any time, Protoman.
(Battle begins)
Bass: Let us begin.
Its a good start, but I dont think Bass would immediately know protoman in megaman 7
Simon Belmont But at least Bass doesn't confuse him for Mega Man.
Rebel Page How the hell would Bass be hte one to do that?
Simon Belmont Because Mega Man is blue and cyan, whilst Protoman is red and gunmetal.
Rebel Page Well he actually met protoman in megaman and bass and didnt mistake him at all. He thought he was just some robot who was fighting king.
Proto man has really cool voice. Why does they don't keep it?
0:59 didn't Wily upgrade Protoman into his Break (or in this case semi Break) man form
In canon, yes. Only Megaman's route is canon.
4:57 A maverick
X will not approve
Wily machine number 1? It's almost like he knew he'd have 10 more
Now eleven
I still wish Bass was playable, I know bass came way later in the series, but it would've been fun to play as him though.
Secret Boss Fight: Bass.
Bass: Ugh! You again.
Protoman: Bass. Still want to defeat Mega Man? I told you a thousand times that you can't beat him!
Bass: SHUT UP! I don't care how many times I lost against Mega Man! I'll keep fighting against Mega Man and prove that I am the strongest robot in the world!
Protoman: I won't let that happen, Bass!
This is bad ass protoman rocks!!!
Mega Man???
(His real name is Rock)
He's noting compare to Zero

No it's Proto Man.
I honestly didn't expect Protoman to have such a deep voice
4:56 I've been wondering where that quote is from
Gotta love Jonathan Love's Protoman voice. Its my favorite!
Literally Protoman sounds like Batman. It's so cool!
His voice sounds like Zero...
I know right?
actually he is the same voice actor as Spider in Mega Man X Command Mission
+KelvinBelmont As well as Launch Octopus.
"Iceman... This might be a little painful, but hang in there..."

Wily sounds like Guldo from DBZ
TBrizzle01 probably because the person who voices guldo from dbz voices wily on this game
aaron asencio nah timeman’s voice doesn’t sound Chris Ayres like
"Robots are machines that follow orders. I'm a machine that doesn't. So what does that make me?"

why does his diolog seem like it would be in megaman x and not just regular megaman
But zero is more playful while proto is serious
Zero was made by Wily though, and was based off Bass, not Protoman.
5:57 they are gonna say f**k lol
4:33 i wonder where it is....
Protoman is badass, the only thing I can say about him.
Why does Guts Man sound like Dark Mantis from X8 and Botos from Command Mission?
Same voice actor
Iceman sounds just like Rudolph from the old Rankin/Bass specials. And the best part is: it fits!
Nobody talking about the goofy boofy ahh boss order the MF went through

This is why fireman is my favorite robot master
"Allowing another unfinished robot"
I gues Proto Man likes to be special
I think it's something else like despising Dr. Light for activating Time Man before completing him.
He sounds like a secret agent
How does Wily not recognize Protoman?
i love how instead of we roll says to protoman "My Friends are in trouble, "I" have to hurry to the lab!"
You know Protoman Dr Light probably would have finished you if you didn't run off. Your little grudge with Dr Light is just silly :/
Archie Comics' canon addresses this. When he realises his error (near the end of the first core's demolition) and returns to Light Labs, he sees Rock and Roll and believes that he's been replaced.
So in the Archie Canon, it's not so much that he's unfinished, it's more like jealousy? That's more of a viable reason for a grudge.

I like how Roll reacted to see Proto Man for the first time ever at the beginning
Love how they use the Archie Comics to base Proto Man’s personality.
Cutman:Get ready to be sliced and diced
Racooneggs: or mabye even riced
The fun part is how from the start we see how clearly Wily already doesnt like him because of their past, before even the events of the 1st game.
do you think megaman is to protoman as sonic is to shadow?
He’s so calm, yet so cool at the same time! How does he do it?!
"...even worse than those Joe robots..."
