Attention! This is a legacy build of the Mega Man RPG from 2022 and is no longer being maintained.
Reported bugs will not be fixed and any progress made here will not be saved.
Return to the archive index for more legacy content or
play the current version of the game for all the new stuff.
Welcome Prototype players! You've come at just the right time. There have been some extreme changes to the battlefield lately, so let me catch you up.
Tomahawk Man
Wow, we've been on a roll with these Mega Man 6 Robot Masters. Tomahawk Man enters the battle, ready to wield his mighty tomahawk to bring his enemies to their knees.
Tomahawk Man debuts in the new Challenge Mission Master of the Tomahawk, a one on one-ish battle; just think of the beetles as cheerleaders. Best his tomahawk with only neutral abilities, and you can recruit Tomahawk Man!
Though he is an expert in many weapons, Tomahawk Man primarily uses his Silver Tomahawk, an Earth and Cutter core Tier 2 ability that is so sharp it is capable of cutting right through enemy barriers. It also hits twice, just to rub salt in the wound.
Master of the Tomahawk is sure to be an engaging challenge, but it isn't the only one in this update. If you have been keeping up with the forums or the discord, you would know we recently developed a community lead challenge mission! Through a series of polls, we decided who it would focus on and what their themeing would be. So, may I present to you, Dust in the Wind! I promise it doesn't suck.
Dust Man Challenge
The Prototype has had many bugs over the years, so Dust Man has assembled a crew to help clean things up. They'll sweep the floor with you! You'll find already implemented Robot Masters and Abilities here, but if you want some more new content, we have a couple more things to show off.
New Abilities
If you enjoyed the Mega Man V weapon Grab Buster from last time, we have another for you! Put on some sunglasses first though, cause this one's gonna cause a bright bang.
It takes a while to get going, but the Photon Missile packs a serious punch once it connects! It's kinda suprising this is our first Missile and Explode ability, huh? Well, if you like new core combos, I've got another new one for you, and from some suprising source material to boot.
Yes, the master of magnetism himself (eat your heart out Magnet Man) has lent his power to the Prototype's arsenal. Now, this brings up all sort of interesting lore questions we will promptly ignore. Maybe next time we can get his weakness, the Wooden Gun.
On the topic of fighting games, Pharaoh Man and Gemini Man sport new defend sprites based on the arcade fighting games.
There have been some flavor text changes for a few Robot Masters. Keep your eyes peeled whenever you next encounter Bass, Wind Man, Pirate Man, and Ground Man in battle.
Speaking of Mega Man and Bass, the bio rewrite project is chugging along, giving Ground Man and Pirate Man new descriptions. Those two are having a good day, huh?
That is the end of this update. We actually updated the game two days ago, but wanted to give players a few days to try to find the content for themselves. Consider this post a guide for anything you might have missed! Fall is nearly upon us, so I hope you all had something fun to do this summer. If you didn't, I at least hope the Mega Man RPG Prototype has been there to keep you company. If you've been enjoying yourself, feel free to engage in the forums or join our discord server.
I'm running out of ways to say goodbye, Tobyjoey
