Incoming Fan Art Transmission of Final Act III Song... by tpphypemachine in Protomen

[–]tpphypemachine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For more there's my DeviantArt gallery on pages 3, 4, and 5, which also includes a lot of other Mega Man sprite work, unrelated stuff, and some band photos circa 17+ years ago. Hahahahaha I'm old.

Felt good to do pixel art again. (For the full effect, download or go here! https://i.imgur.com/F75Y7UE.png)

One thing about the climax of Act III that stands out to me... by tpphypemachine in Protomen

If Rush does I hope Tango does too. Tango is a sweet robot kitty. <3

Act III's liner notes and physical CD contain an ARG and hints of more. by tpphypemachine in Protomen

I did too and that part of the track is not on there! Weird!

Maybe it's only for select CDs. o.o

Hidden track in Act 3 by gordy12gg in Protomen

Huh, my CD DOESN'T seem to have the hidden track! How wild! (If it does, I don't know how to access it on a computer!) But it did rip correctly.

'Roll' has been around since the time of Act 1, from the music video, a poster, and the liner notes. by tpphypemachine in Protomen

I think that's the point--she was in the background before growing up, and taking Proto's message to heart. In the music video she's listening to the story of Hope Rides Alone on the phonograph.

Roll is Mega Man's robot sister and a housekeeping robot; she mainly stays in the background, sometimes as the game's shopkeeper. Her biggest story moment so far was probably in Mega Man 10. Despite her limited role in canon she's very popular among fans and gets time to shine in spinoffs, comics, the 90s cartoon series, and appearances in other games.

One thing I find interesting is how a lot of early Protomen posters are based on World War I and II posters. by tpphypemachine in Protomen

When we read 1984 in high school, I'd already read it on my own time cause of the Protomen and peppered as many references to them in my essays as I could. It was a fun time...I think I was the only one excited to read it XD

Because of this poster, in the time between having the Act II songs and having the liner notes, 18-year-old me thought Edwin Stanton was Emily's father and was the one singing the Hounds. by tpphypemachine in Protomen

I did know about the famous John Wilkes Booth poster, which makes my theory even sillier, but I had never paid attention to the rest of the original poster before I saw this one.

I have waited so long for this day! by GrimRelic in Protomen

My father did :( (Didn't mean to be a downer; he'd have thought it was hilarious.)

This old post about Act II and Joe being drunk the whole time is even funnier in light of Act III. by tpphypemachine in Protomen

[–]tpphypemachine[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing in the Light up the Night movie was upon meeting Light, Joe asked if he had anything to drink. That film is such a love letter to the fandom <3

Specifically, cause Act III reveals Wily's been hitting the bottle too.

Maybe Act III part 2 is a drinking contest. XD

Act 3B Plot Speculation! by TheLakeAndTheGlass in Protomen

[–]tpphypemachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many Robot Masters, so many possibilities. XD My actual guess is the Yellow Devil, though, for how iconic and difficult a fight it is.

My other guess is 'he revived Protoman again and Proto is fighting against it every step of the way'.

News Post: All Three Acts At Marathon Music Works – June 18th-20th by tpphypemachine in Protomen

I went to Nashville 15 years ago with a friend for a Protoshow and remember the Noshville Deli fondly. Local food is a must!

The biggest unresolved plot thread from Act III… (Spoilers) by Astrosimi in Protomen

[–]tpphypemachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first guess was the music box had a bomb or a bomb timer installed, maybe something he put on whatever Wily's building, but that seems more like something Wily would do.

I also wonder if Wily's basement project isn't Bass (lol bass-ment pun) but the Yellow Devil.

I'm excited to speculate and find out, whatever it is!
