Board Thread:General Mega Man Discussion/@comment-26371153-20150807023530

i just replayed the first legends for nostalgia and wanted to point a few things out, as i always had a feeling that megaman volnutt was always the original megaman.

aside from all the easter eggs that call back to the original series (like roll and wily, and other things like megaman on the tv in tron boones game ect....)  there is the close physical appearance of megaman himself.

megaman volnutt looks nearly identical to the original megaman which wouldn't make much since unless he was him frankly. it's like making an obsolete model, or is it? anyone can agree that there is no deffinative timeline on this game to due the humans beings wiped out plus eslyims records never being readable in game(which would basicly give all the lore to the legends series) and during the whole reploid war 90% of the repliods from the x series are wiped out, there is a breif period where these guys are there but eventually the new repliods from the zx game have limited life spans, it is very likely that the few that remain don't really make it to see the next coming age.

megaman x is completely distroyed as well as his copy, no one really knows what happens to megamans body himself though. which brings me to the biometals. biometals contain the souls of the robot heros of the past, and one secret biometal is of the original megaman himself. so it can be assumed that whatever happened to megamans body, it no longer retains his soul/memories, his body would be without a program no matter what condition it is. it's known that x and zeros biometals were made from ceils dna but the origin of model a (megamans biometal) is unknown

now back to volnutts appearance, whom like i mentioned before is more like the original megaman, aisde from his legs. he also has this hatch on his back that seems bolted on that appears more like a rigged patch than anything else. there is also the buster arm, which in the legend series none of the robots in that era use anything like it, and volnutt himself is not able to use a megabuster shot (much like megaman before the 4th game). plus most of the robots in legends are more like slave robots, like they lack the ability to discern their own actions, which considering how the repliods of the past had free will this would be a major step back technology wise. the exceptions here as the main robots that are central to the story, such as sera, gatz, megaman juna ect.....

this goes to say that the repliods and most of the past techonology was lost by the time esylim was created.

so the theory i have on volnutt is that when esylim was created, master found the original megaman, in a terible state. likely all that was left of him was his torso with a huge hole in the back, and master had him studied for the purpose of acheiving immortality considering he himself would have had to been a humaniod (due to the zx series). the discovery of megaman would mean rediscovering how to extend the lifespans of not only the humanoids but of the mechiniods as well, and all the robots in the legends series main robot characters would have been created from this technology which is what makes them more unique themselves. since megaman was seperated from his biometal he likely would not have any memory of his past life and would have lived out to be trigger without ever having knowege of this. the fact that he has that patch on his back too where i say a hole would have been is proably been where his biometal was obtained from, also megaman did have free will, which may or may not have been intended by dr light when he programed him with his advanced AI which was likely what influenced him to created X with no preprograming what-so-ever  (which likely means that megaman could probably learn the same way if he was wipe into a newborn state)

thats about all i can come up with atm but i think it serves a pretty compelling  arguement.
