It's a Mega Man TV series! Man of Action (Ben 10, Generator Rex) seems to be taking the helm creatively, and wants a true-to-the-character approach, so this might turn out to be pretty good!

I wanna be excited...but didn't they also do Ultimate Spider-man? TEETERING I AM!

I'm excited. And I'm hoping this means there will be a new game soon, but I'll watch this too.

This is the exact thing that would drive Capcom to make new Mega Man games. Everything Man of Action has worked on has gotten games made based on those properties.

What was wrong with Ultimate Spider-man? It was a lot of fun. Besides, the rest of their successes more than make up for any shortcoming.

Regardless, this is almost surely a move to run against the upcoming Mighty No. 9 cartoon series.

That's exactly what I said to my wife when I read this, and that makes me happy. They're looking at Mighty No. 9 as competition, so perhaps that will get their asses in gear.

Two techincally one word(s):Spider-cycle. Just the tip of it right there.

I'm pretty sure they've been doing this since Spider-man and his Amazing Friends! and it's Spider-man Car.

No matter how much we want to forget. Still, not as silly as a stock-footage powered leopard themed robot I guess!

Sometimes (always) a cartoon has to push toys. At least Ultimate Spider-Man was fun, Spider-Cycle and all.

That got real obvious with Ben 10. At least with Mega Man, when they throw in 100 different robots to make into toys, they'll already have been introduced to the franchise.

I wouldn't mind if they took inspiration from the comics. Those have been fantastic. I really need to get caught up. Even their crossovers with Sonic have supposedly been really good.

We LITERALLY owe the existence of Super Sentai/Power Rangers to Leopardon. Without the ability to sell scads of toys, it wouldn't be a 40+ year old series.

KLEH, true. Though to this day I swear they accidentally switched the names of its modes pre-production(The Marveller looks suspiciously more like a leopard than Leopardon (and even then it looks more like a lion)).
