(After Mega Man copies their respective weapons, they both say the same thing each time)
Bomb Man/Cut Man: No! Now you've got my weapon!

Mega Man: I'm as good or better than you, Proto Man!
Proto Man: We'll see about that!
Trivia[]
- In this episode Proto Man copies Guts Man's weapon, Super Arm. This is the only episode where he copies a weapon and the only one where Guts Man has his weapon copied.
- This is the only episode where all Robot Masters from the same game appear together; in this case, the six Robot Masters from the original Mega Man.
- This episode features Fire Man's only appearance in the show outside of the introduction, although he had no spoken lines.
- Much like Proto Man's alliance with Dr. Wily, the history of Mega Man's origins were modified for the show. In the video game's storyline, Dr. Wily was Light's partner instead of assistant and it wasn't Proto Man's failure that split their partnership. Also, on the show, it was Dr. Light's idea to have Rock rebuilt into Mega Man, not Rock's own idea like in the games.
- The vehicle that Roll operates in this episode was turned into a toy in the Mega Man action figure line. The same vehicle appears in the second segment with a different paint scheme as the vehicle Rock and Roll escape from Skull Fortress in.
- In some markets, this episode did not air first, but rather second. In these few markets, it was the second episode "Electric Nightmare" that aired first.
