Description
These 5 super fighting robots are here to settle the score. Which Mega Man shall be victorious?

Interlude
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Mega Man
Wiz: In the year 20XX, the brilliant Doctor Light would change history forever, developing machines with A.I. so advanced, it mimicked actual life. His goal was a world where robots and humankind could live together in trust and harmony.

'''Boomstick: I want all you watching to remember that, because right off the bat, Light's partner Dr. Wily reprogrammed the bots, and tried to take over the world. Just the first in a lifetime of dick moves.'''

Wiz: To combat this threat, Light upgraded one of his prototypes, Rock, into the original, the classic Mega Man.

'''Boomstick: Classic, huh? What's next, Diet Mega Man? Cherry Vanilla Mega Man? Mega Man Zero?'''

Wiz: One of those, technically yes, but that's much later. Mega Man is armored with ultra strong Ceratanium, and comes equipped with the Mega Buster, a literal hand cannon for each arm.

Boomstick: While its normal lemon energy bloops aren't too deadly, he can charge 'em up to tear through robot master ass like nothing!

Wiz: Mega Man's most notable tool is his variable weapons system, which allows him to copy the data of fallen enemies to gain their weapons as his own.

'''Boomstick: So now, he can cut you down with the Metal Blade, light you up with the Napalm Bomb, and burn you alive with Atomic Fire, which is twice as hot as the surface of the sun. He's basically got a tool for every occasion.'''

Wiz: Sure, he can shield himself with the Skull Barrier, reflect projectiles with the Mirror Buster, bypass armor with the Centaur Flash, stop time with the... Time Stopper, and create localized singularities with the Black Hole Bomb.

'''Boomstick: In case this little blue buddy needs a boost, he can activate his Double Gear System, which is basically robo 'roids! They jack up his power, his speed, or both at the same time.'''

Wiz: And with his robotic canine companion Rush, Mega Man can access his Super Adaptor form, which grants him flight, a boost in power, and rocket-propelled punches.

'''Boomstick: Mega Man is strong enough to lift a sixty thousand tower. He's tough enough to survive the gravity of Jupiter, the heat of the sun, and absolute zero. Plus, he's fast enough to keep up with Quick Man, who can dodge lightning and can get close to the speed of light!'''

Wiz: Mega Man has battled over one hundred robot masters and other robotic foes, including Sunstar, who was powerful enough to self-destruct and destroy the Wily Star, basically a small Death Star. With its size in mind, this would need energy equivalent to over seven trillion megatons of TNT.

Boomstick: Too bad all that power runs on limited ammo, though.

Wiz: Mega Man would carry the banner of peace across the world, fighting Wily's tyranny and spreading Dr. Light's dream of human-robot coexistence.

Mega Man X
Wiz: Flash forward one hundred years, when the archaeologist Dr. Cain happened upon a sleeping blue android hidden deep within a ruined laboratory. Unlike the previous model, this android possessed free will indistinguishable from a humans. This wasn't Mega Man, this was Mega Man X.

Boomstick: This guy was built by the late Dr. Light to be better than the original Mega Man model in every way.

Wiz: Aware of the danger that such a powerful android could be, Light locked him away in a capsule that ran tests on his morality for thirty years.

Boomstick: And what better way to match decades of good boy training than waking up to worldwide war!

Wiz: Dr. Cain began mass replication of X, but his process was imperfect. Many of these Reploid robots went Maverick, and embroiled the war in centuries long warfare.

'''Boomstick: Despite being a pacifist, X felt obliged to step in and help. His go-to is his X-Buster, which can fire off single shots of condensed solar energy, or charge up several times over for even more power.'''

Wiz: He also carries his partner Zero's Z-Saber, a beam sword that can reflect projectiles and cut through nearly everything.

Boomstick: But he wouldn't be a true Mega Man without the ability to scan and copy other robots weaponry.

Wiz: He has copied countless elemental weapons that control fire, lightning, wind, water, and ice, as well as bombs, missiles, mines, drones, lasers, and force fields.

Boomstick: He can shoot out black holes, turn invincible for a short time, and create a clone of himself, which I really wish I could do.

Wiz: He can stop time, and even resist similar effects when other robots try their own time stoppers.

'''Boomstick: But when he gets serious, he breaks out his Ultimate Armor. It doubles his durability, gives him unlimited ammo, allows him to fly and attack with the Nova Strike move, and teaches him some super powered moves like the Hadoken and Shoryuken! Yeah, turns out Dr. Light was a fan of Street Fighter.'''

Wiz: But possibly his greatest ability is what the "X" in his name refers to: The X-Factor that is his limitless evolutionary potential.

'''Boomstick: Which is your typical anime bullshit! Powered by love, or friendship, or puppies or whatever, X has completely regenerated from near death, and even reformed his whole body in only a few seconds, from just his metal core!'''

Wiz: With all his immense power, X has defeated dozens of Mavericks, including The General. The General once tanked a planet-destroying laser, the energy of which would require fifty seven quadrillion megatons of TNT. He can move fast enough to dodge Optic Sunflower's light speed lasers, and survive channeling enough energy through his body to annihilate all of Japan.

'''Boomstick: After years of fighting, he managed to destroy his archenemy, the Sigma Virus, with his most powerful weapon yet. The Mother Elf! AKA, the latest thing to join our hall of fame of terrible, terrible names for awesome stuff.'''

Death Battle
On top of a skyscraper in Abel City, all five Mega Men aim their busters towards each other and fire all at once. X leaps backwards to avoid one of EXE's Yo-Yos. The projectile returns to the owner as EXE starts firing his normal buster.

Volnutt shields himself from Classic's standard buster shots. Classic spots Star Force trying to sneak up on them and fires an upward Air Shooter to send him back. Volnutt uses the opportunity to fire at Classic, but is uppercutted and sent careening off the building by X. Classic slides underneath his future counterpart and pounds him downward toward the street with a Hard Knuckle. Classic lands nearby and summons three Metal Blades which X narrowly avoids as he charges up a punch.

Back on the building, EXE and Star Force are clashing blades as they fly back and forth. Star Force fires Magic Breath while EXE counters it with Air Blaster. EXE charges forth, but Star Force disappears and reappears behind his foe to strike him in the back and combo him downward. As EXE recovers and checks his injuries, Star Force begins flying forward while charging his buster. EXE quickly starts charging his arm as the two unleash their powerful beams.

On the street, Classic and X continue to counter each other's Charge Shots. Classic activates the Double Gear system to fire faster and more powerful attacks, but X avoids them and takes out the Z-Saber to send Classic upwards, where he slashes the oldest bot two more times before the wounded warrior lands on the ground. X prepares for the finishing blow as he rises up the Z-Saber, but he is suddenly shot by the returning Volnutt.

KO!

Results
Wiz: The winner is...

Original Track
The track for the fight is a mix between electronic and metal, fitting of the Mega Men's robotic nature and rock music (as their names are Rockman in Japan). Out of the five series, it bears the most resemblance to Mega Man X's soundtracks.

The cover image features Classic Mega Man's Mega Buster firing off a shot. The yellow gauge on it has five slots containing emblems referencing each series:
 * The first has a cog representing Classic as they are frequently used in the Japanese ports of the game and was also his symbol in Super Smash Bros.
 * The second has the logo for Sigma's Maverick army, the main antagonists of the Mega Man X series.
 * The third has the Bonne family emblem, who are allies and enemies to Mega Man Volnutt.
 * The fourth has MegaMan.EXE's emblem.
 * The final slot has Star Force Mega Man's Shooting Star emblem.
