Overview
In the year 200X, master robot designer Dr. Thomas Light works on a project to create human-like robots with advanced intellegence. He creates a pair of robots for domestic use - codenamed "Rock" ("Mega" in the remake) and "Roll".

With the success of the project, he then builds six more of the Robot Masters to be used for industrial purposes: Cut Man, Guts Man, Ice Man, Bomb Man, Fire Man, and Elec Man (and additionally Time Man and Oil Man in Powered Up). The project is a great success, and for his work on it, Light is awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. However, Light's old colleague and rival, Dr. Wily, is not acknowledged for any of his past work - and he grows bitter.

Around this time, Dr. Wily had discovered a prototype robot, made before Rock and Roll. This robot, named Proto Man, is in danger of having his energy generator going critical. Wily gave him a nuclear energy supply to extend his life, and learned much about creating robots from studying his design. He also likely learned the means to reprogram Light's robots from this.

Wily sneaks into Light's lab one night and reprograms the robots, but he fails to reprogram Rock and Roll, who still operate on an earlier system, and makes his getaway. When Light finds out that Wily has escaped with the Robot Masters, it is too late, and Wily has already sent his new robotic army out to conquer the city.

Rock, having a strong sense of justice, volunteers to be converted into a fighting robot to stop Dr. Wily and his minions and restore peace to the city.
