Rockman Rips Wood Man a New One

Looking a little vicious there eh Rockman?

Rockman shows Wood Man no mercy in this very old magazine ad for Rockman 2. No, this isn't fan art, this is official. Seriously. According to Carl's blog, the ad was printed in a February 1989 issue of "Beep: Magazine for Game Kids" to promote the RM2.

Strangely, Rockman bares a close resemblance to that of Rockman X. Hmm... A source of inspiration?

Anyone else find this a little disturbing?

  2. I do, too, mostly because of Wily. He looks like a rat, for cripes' sakes. Nevertheless, this is a most interesting find. :)

  3. Yeah, he squeezed the heart out of Woodman's chest is quiet disturbing.. Maybe the artist was lust of blood and violent. It's not impressive and ridiculous. Rockman is not the type of killing machine and violent anyway. Something is wrong with the artist anyway. :X

  8. The Woodman "gutting" no doubt is the artists why of showing how Rockman obtains a Robot Masters weapon (similar to the mangas wit the "chip" concept).
