Description
I have mixed feelings on the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon as it had elements that were very thought provoking and possibly had potential for something great (Mega and Proto's (and Roll I guess) relationship with each other as family), yet it also gave us things like Lion Men and Robot Werewolves and Vampires (not as cool as it sounds. Wish it was though). One thing that did puzzle me is that while they had an episode with X and the Mavericks in it, they never did one involving two of the more important characters in the original series: Dr. Cossack and Kalinka. Being that Cossack was the supposed villain for an entire game and the reason for it being Kalinka was in danger, you'd think they would take the opportunity to give them so spotlight. I tweaked her design a bit to go more in the vein of Ruby Spears (as everyone is either an adult or teenager), and made her taller and older. Which brings something else in mind: in the game, Proto Man is the one that eventually rescues her from Dr. Wily, not Mega Man. If they went that route, I wonder if that could possibly add more to his and her character...it's wishful thinking, yes, but still.All above (c) of Capcom

So you think she's made up of a bunch of things?

She bears resemblance to at least one character exclusive for the cartoon.

I did not say it was a strong one.

I'm asking who does she remind you of? The character? Kalinka is an official character though.

Ah, Evelyn Ray.
I can sort of see the similarities looking at her. Though I kinda went for making Kalinka's hair more curly than wavy.

I just wanted to point it out.

Ah okay. Of course, this drawing's pretty old.

Have you read the fanfic Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race?

Yeah. At first I really enjoyed it, but overtime, I kinda got to feel that it was going a direction I felt was just 'meh'. Not that it's horrible at all, far from it, it's just that I have a different perspective on certain characters and the nature of robots in general.

I guess you're right on that. The episodes could feel somewhat dragging at times. I managed to get up to date with the current arc, though it took me quite a while.

Though I'll admit that I'm more inline with the games, I just wanted to see (and that's why I'm doing my own) an angle tackling the differences and similarities between man and machine. Plus, I just feel like everything's too 'black and white'. Though there does need too be some definition, no one is completely 'black or white' and is far from always going to do one thing or another, and even if so, why?

Yep, I agree. Sometimes, the line between good and evil is not as clear as we usually think, and that can make a story more interesting.

To me, I just see robots as very different from people, as in that despite their powers, they're still very limited (the laws of robotics for example). I'm wanting to delve more into the morality of what's right or wrong when it comes to things that some don't even consider to be 'alive'.

Was this the same Mega Man cartoon where Mega Man was voiced by Cheetor?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that one! Funny thing is I found out he voiced Coconuts from Adventures of Sonic too.

Don't we all know that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess so. It's funny cause Scott Mcneil (Dinobot) was also in that show voicing Wily and Protoman (possibly others because he's THAT good, but I don't know).
