Rock is the main character of the Secret Level episode Mega Man: Start. He is the robotic assistant of Dr. Light. When Dr. Wily begins to take over Dr. Light's robots using spider-like drones, Rock begs Light to let him go out and fight, and he becomes the hero known as Mega Man.

Overview[]

Like his video game counterpart, Rock is initially the assistant of Dr. Light, helping him in his lab before Dr. Wily starts his campaign to take over the world, where Rock dons combat armor and becomes Mega Man to stop him.

Rock features some traits different from his game counterpart. Unlike in the games, where Mega Man's hand slides into his wrist to become the Mega Buster, Rock can pop his hands off to attached different tools to himself. While Mega Man in the games was eventually given the ability to charge his buster, Rock has the ability from the start. As Mega Man, Rock's helmet features a visor.

Personality[]

Rock is depicted as a gentle and child-like robot, but shows a great sense of justice and willingness to fight for what is right, despite Light's objections. He shows a great level of bravery when Bomb Man is taken control of, fighting back despite only having his work tools available to him, and compassion when he believed Light had been injured or killed when Bomb Man's body fell on the latter.

Appearance[]

Rock's build is that of a young boy. He has thick brown hair and bright blue eyes. In his civilian attire, he wears a light blue shirt that reads "DLN.001", his serial code, with dark blue and gold accents, black shorts with orange accents, and light blue shoes.

History[]

Rock is working in the lab when Dr. Light rushes in frustrated that Wily is causing chaos in Mega City with Light's own robots and that his attempts to stop him have failed. Light orders Rock to open bay 6 which contains Bomb Man, who they both are initially confident can stop Wily, and Light states that he is their last line of defense. Rock asks to fight, but Light brushes him off, telling the young robot he won't let him throw his life away. Rock prepares to assist Light when he notices a small drone sneaking behind some boxes that quickly rushes at Bomb Man and tries to stop it, but the drone quickly corrupts Bomb Man, who attacks the two. Rock is thrown off the scissor lift they are on and is blown into a wall by a bomb. Bomb Man prepares to finish Rock off, but Rock sees a cylinder with a powerful cooling substance and equips it to his arm's tool, firing it at Bomb Man's hand, apologizing to Bomb Man as the bomb is frozen in place and blows off the his head, causing him to collapse near Dr. Light. Rock is distraught and rushes to help him and finds to be safe. The drone then attempts to corrupt Rock, but he manages to fight the control and destroys it. Rock begins to apologize profusely, but Light instead realizes that Rock was destined to bring peace to Mega City and equips him with armor and an arm cannon. Now Mega Man, Dr. Light throws him a helmet as he teleports into Mega City. He puts on his helmet and stares out, ready to fight.
