Interesting Megaman Finds/Concepts 'an Stuff

Lilac DownDeep · 04-18-2009, 12:01 PM

I have no idea if you guys might know these things but I'll post them anyway for the interest department (and it's bucketing down outside and I'm bored). A wonderful, WONDERFUL friend of mine known as General-RADIX (who knows more about Capcom than I do) linked me a site called Dokuganryu. It's got more than Megaman scans, but I found these awesome concepts in Megaman (and Megaman X and Zero) and everything.

Here's what I found in terms of Megaman Classic (the only MM games I played and loved). These are some scans for Rockman 20th Anniversary. All of these sketches are in Japanese and I can't read any of them, so sorry about that.

------ -------

Rockman sketches, enemy sketches, & Elec(tric)man concepts --- I'm just glad they came up with the one we're familiar with now, huh?

Fireman & Bombman concepts --- THE BOMBMAN.

They worked extra hard on the title for your viewing pleashure --- Also Dr. Wily and Light are scary looking.

Megaman 2 Concepts --- I kinda liked the 5th Bubbleman sketch. Also, note that some of the RM's changed featured from each other (Quickman's old concept looked more like Metalman's)

Heatman's 4Kids Bait --- Or at least, how General RADIX put it.

Doc Robot, Protoman, and Roll ---- No comments.

This page remains a mystery to me ---- It seems more like a bunch of failed designs. Any explanations?

Megaman 3 Concepts ---- Thank God (Or Isaac Asimov, in a bot's mind. xD) they didn't use some of these.

Megaman Killers Concepts ---- This one's probably the more interesting one of all of them.

I like this one ---- Even though it's only a concept of Power Battles/Power Fighters. It actually kinda groups all of my favorite RM's and makes Fatlard Bubbleman look badass.

Failed Redesigns and some unknown Robot --- Normally people would focus on Protoman 'cuz he's popular, but I think Elecman's redesign looks badass here. Also, what is that unknown bot in the corner?

------ --------

So, those are probably the more noticeable designs/concepts out there. Some of the designs look awful, some of them actually pretty cool (Bubbleman is one of those). It'd probably be alot easier if I could actually read Japanese. Someday I'll get my friend to look at those and translate them for me, but for now, feast your eyes on concepts and discuss them here.

------- -------

So, if you have no comments on the concepts, who would be your favorite Robot Master? I have like, a gajillion of them but I'll list out ten of them, not in order from favorite.

1: Geminiman (cuz he's shiny)
2: Shadowman
3: Magnetman
4: Galaxyman (His stage song is awesome)
5: Quickman
6: Elecman
7: Crashman (Dracozombie made me like him, not that dumb Hayadain song)
8: Snakeman
9: Starman
10: Crystalman

The robot in the corner reminds me of SF MegaMan for some reason, but they probably had no plans for that series back then.

Some of the others range from lame to cool.

I believe it is obvious who my favorite RM is. BurnerMan comes in second.

xD I can see who your favorite is. I still love those ten Robot Masters.

I, however, am not fond of Splash Woman. Not only was she not all what she was hyped up to be, but the whole image of a fembot living with a bunch of male bots gives me some mental Splashwhore images.

But that's my opinion.
