Here's my first big idea pitch:
So unexpectedly, I stumbled across this great video animation titled, "Rockman Rumble" on youtube - patterned after WWE's long running "Royal Rumble" pay-per-view tradition, in which a new robot master would enter the ring ( or room ) after a certain point of time as the bout is in progress - eventually flooding the ring with competitors in a free-for-all battle royal. Before I clicked on the video, I was actually expecting to see the Wily Bots suplexing each other and doing flying elbow smashes...no such luck ( yet ). Although the first one was very old, I happened upon it entirely by accident while I was binging old videos from the "Golden Era" of Pro-Wrestling; okay, I already know that it isn't real but...I just can't help being entertained by some of those old promos from 35 years ago. After finding the Rockman Rumble videos, it occurred to me...why not transpose the personalities of these superstars from a bygone era onto the casts of the Rockman games? The more I sat down and thought about it, the more I realized just how easy this would actually be from the writing angle of the productions. You would not believe how much the robot masters actually have in common with the kayfabe personas of the wrestlers from the Federation's Pre-Attitude Era. I think we need a Mega Man counterpart to "Wrestlemania" - we'll call it something like "Megalomania."
Admittedly, to do justice to a hobby project that's this ambitious in its scope, it would be a huge undertaking ( no pun intended ) involving lots of hours and coordination between artists of many different talents and fields: graphic artists, animators, sound engineers, etc. The end result of all that hard work and dedication would be oh so sweet. Essentially, this would be what is called a labor of love, as only the most dedicated Megaman fans would be willing to commit to it pro-bono. I'm aware that this is a tall order but, if we could just get enough enthusiasts working on production to help lighten the work load, we could actually make this happen.
