If we count parts of the Archie Comics as semi-canon, the whole reason Ra Moon crashed into Earth was Trio's betrayal of the Stardroids, therefore making him have a greater legacy, plus Evil Energy being made into Robozena and then the Maverick Virus. If anything, Trio has the greatest legacy. Duo was probalby made at the same time, but he either died at the end of the Megaman Classic timeline to something (Zero, possibly.), or left Earth never to return. The Evil Energy was simply used by Wily to create the Maverick Virus which lead to the 21XX Maverick Wars, which due to the sheer power vacumn left over, allowed Weil to start the Elf Wars, which then leads to Megaman Zero, and the events of Megaman Zero directly lead to Megaman ZX. Heck, even though Legends is thousands of years from the rest, there's a chance that something indirectly led by Trio's Evil Energy flooded the world, and almost killed humanity, requiring the rest to flee, therefore indirectly leading to the Legends series.
