"The anime-inspired adventure series was beloved by fans of the blue bomber for its inventive, Zelda-like spin on the classic formula. It was filled with lovable characters who have endured long past the series itself, like Tron Bonne, the Servbots, and the hero, Mega Man Volnutt. But like a serialized cartoon series, the second game in the series ended with a whopper of a cliffhanger--and then never returned to it."
"For those unfamiliar with the Mega Man Legends series, it's unusually story-rich for a Mega Man game. Set in the distant future, in a world almost completely covered with water, Mega Man Volnutt and his adoptive family, Barrel and Roll Caskett, dig for treasure in ruins guarded by ancient technology called Reaverbots. All the while, they're alternatively pursued and occasionally aided by sky pirates called the Bonnes: Teisel, Tron, and big baby Bon Bonne."
"The first game explores Mega Man investigating ruins to avert a prophesized disaster, but inadvertently awakening it in the process. Another being, called Mega Man Juno, reveals to Volnutt that his original name is Mega Man Trigger. Trigger was designed as a "Purifier Unit" whose purpose was to eliminate the Carbons--aka the artificial humans who live in this world. Needless to say, he does the right thing and protects humanity instead."
Mega Man Legends 2 celebrates its 25-year anniversary on October 25, 2025, yet remains defined by an unresolved cliffhanger. The game blends anime-inspired presentation with a story-rich, action-adventure structure set in a flooded future where Mega Man Volnutt, Barrel, and Roll Caskett excavate ruins guarded by Reaverbots. Recurring characters include the pirate Bonne family, Tron and the Servbots. The first game reveals Volnutt's origin as Mega Man Trigger, a former "Purifier Unit" designed to eliminate artificial humans called Carbons. The second game expanded scope and characters but concluded on an abrupt cliffhanger that never received closure, leaving fans waiting.
