Synopsis
The series follows Aki Light, an advanced robot who looks like and lives the routine of a human schoolboy. He was built by scientist Dr. Light as his son and lives with his biologically human sister Suna Light. They live in Silicon City, a town co-inhabited by robots and humans rather peacefully, though is currently seeing new attacks from rogue robots (the Robot Masters of the franchise). Aki responds by transforming into "Mega Man" and battles to neutralize the threat and protect the civilians from harm. Allies to Mega Man include Mega Mini,[4][5] a wise-cracking miniature robot who operates within his forehead, his pet Rush the robot dog, and Suna Light.[2] Other characters include Sgt. Night, a war veteran who gives anti-robot speeches (though works with the rogue robots to reignite a human-robot war) and Bert Wily, a classmate and friend to Aki Light.
Characters
Main
- Mega Man (voiced by Vincent Tong[6]) – The protagonist and hero of Silicon City. Aki Light is a robot boy who looks like a regular human, and with the ability to transform into his superhero identity of Mega Man. He can fire energy blasts from his arm cannon and has the ability to replicate the schematics of other robots in order to copy their abilities while having the personalities of some of them as a side-effect. While he can act cocky at times, he cares deeply for his family and friends and will risk his life to protect them to the best of his ability. He is considered highly advanced due to his power set.
- Mega Mini (voiced by Ryan Beil) – Aki's mechanic and sidekick of sorts who powers his armor and gives him his abilities. He occasionally pops out of his head to speak and loves to make wisecracks. What started off as animosity for Blasto Woman after getting kidnapped by her, has turned into a full on crush that seems to be reciprocated.
- Suna Light (voiced by Caitlyn Bairstow) – Aki's human sister and ally. She is one of the few who knows about Aki's double identity. She is intelligent and has numerous gadgets at her disposal to aid her "ro-bro".
- Dr. Thomas Light (voiced by Garry Chalk) – Aki's father and a supporter of human/robot relations. In "Panic in the Lighthouse," it is revealed that he has always known of his son's double identity which he makes Aki know of after using the Mega Key to heal Chaotique.
- Rush – The Light family's robot dog. He eventually gets his own armor and becomes Mega Man's sidekick.
Supporting
- Bert Wily (voiced by Cole Howard) is Aki's friend and ally. He is an enthusiastic up-and-coming inventor who is a huge fan of Mega Man, but does not realize he and Aki are the same person. The episodes "Drilling Deep" and "A Split End" hint at his connection to Dr. Wily when he accidentally gets a similar hairstyle. The Boom comic mini-series reveals that Dr. Wily is Bert's grandfather, whom he looks up to.
- Peter Punkowski (voiced by Cole Howard) is a nerdy know-it-all student at Silicon Central School.
- Ashley Adderley (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent) is an intellectual and sarcastic girl who Aki secretly has a crush on, which she reciprocates.
- Jacques is a small toaster-themed robot at Silicon Central.
- Principal 100100 (voiced by Brian Drummond) is a former battle robot the size of a building who is refashioned as the principal of Silicon Central School. During the Hard Age, he was a close ally and fellow soldier of Wood Man.
- The Good Guild are a police squadron in charge of protecting Silicon City. Since they are not trained to handle the rogue Robot Masters, they call upon Mega Man to help defeat them.
Villains
- Sgt. Breaker Night/Lord Obsidian (voiced by Michael Adamthwaite) is the main antagonist of the series. He is a human who believes that humans and robots can not be together and wants to destroy human/robot relations by holding anti-robot rallies and persuading some robots to attack humans. In the past, he fought in a long-forgotten conflict called the Hard Wars, which was fought between humans and robots. When he becomes Lord Obsidian, he is a powerful robot hellbent on turning into Mega Man into the perfect weapon for his own agenda. In the season 1 finale, he is defeated and his identity as Lord Obsidian is exposed. When being questioned about his hypocrisy of preaching human supremacy yet organizing a robot revolution, he reveals he seeks the "Mega Key" to turn all robots into slaves. He also states that humans are technically superior since they initially created robots as tools, but Dr. Light attempting to establish unity with them made humans feel weak. He is then arrested by the Good Guild along with most of his Robot Masters, as Light informs him robots and humans will know peace someday, which Breaker will have plenty of time to consider in prison.
- Namagem (voiced by Vincent Tong) is Sgt. Night's robot lieutenant, who was created to be superior to Mega Man. He wants to prove himself superior to his heroic counterpart by any means necessary. Unlike Mega Man, he can copy up to five schematics at a time. A running gag throughout the first season had Aki failing to learn his name, and when he finally does, he admits it sounds lame. In "The Gauntlet" Pt. II, it is revealed he is Aki's long-lost twin brother, who Sgt. Night stole during the end of the Hard Age. His true form is revealed when Sgt. Night is defeated, and he leaves while vowing revenge. In the Boom comic series, he takes on the name "Daini" and receives upgrades from Dr. Wily. He fights Aki one more time before they and Suna team up to fight Dr. Wily.
- The Hoover Gang are a trio of criminals that consist of two humans and one robot. They once worked as custodians before turning to a life of crime.
- Wayne (voiced by Ryan Beil) is a member of the Hoover Gang.
- Duane (voiced by Michael Adamthwaite) is a member of the Hoover Gang.
- Vacuhead is a robot who is a member of the Hoover Gang. He has a tank on his back and a window scrubber for a left hand.
- Chaotique (voiced by Rhona Rees) is a robot with skates that allow her to move at super-speed. She claims to know Mega Man's true identity in the episode "Old School", but she mistakenly believed Peter Punkowski to be Mega Man's secret identity, and is ultimately proven wrong as she tries to recreate "The Big Fade Away" prank.

The following Robot Masters in this series are listed in order of appearance:
- Fire Man (voiced by Ian Hanlin) is a former welding bot who turned against humanity after he was fired and is now loyal to Lord Obsidian.

- Air Man (voiced by Ian Hanlin) is a vain fan-powered robot who considers himself to be the best. He resembles Wind Man, since he has fans on poles connected to his back instead of a fan-shaped torso. The fans on his shoulders help him fly and the fan for his right hand can create tornadoes. In "The Bluster Bunch," it is revealed that his arrogance hides his insecurity caused by his siblings boasting about their successful accomplishments and belittling him.
- Chemistry Man (voiced by Peter New) is a robot who was formerly known as Mr. NRT. He was a chemistry teacher at Silicon Central who was fired by Principal 100100 since his boring lectures put his students to sleep. Sgt.

His name is a pun on "inert."
- Guts Man (voiced by Peter New in a Russian accent) is a garbage-disposal robot with super strength.

In later episodes, it is revealed he can eat both organic and inorganic matter to power up.

- Wood Man (voiced by Mark Oliver) is a robot who was a soldier in the Hard Age and a close ally and fellow soldier of Principal 100100. He eventually comes to grips with the fact the war is over, and after being persuaded to stop attacking by Mega Man, he leaves for the forest and becomes a historian for tourists.
- Junk Man is a remote-controlled robot created by Aki and Suna to act as a practice robot for Rush to fight. Dr. Light later upgrades him to help guard his laboratory.
- Cut Man (voiced by Colin Murdock) – A gardener robot with a bowl cut-shaped head.

His real name, Chauncey, is a reference to the protagonist from the movie Being There.

Production and development
On June 2, 2015, Capcom partnered with Dentsu Entertainment USA to create a 26-episode animated television series of the company's flagship Mega Man video game franchise after 20 years since the 1994 animated series of the same name had its final run. Under terms of the deal, Dentsu Entertainment holds worldwide broadcast and licensing rights for all aspects of the new Mega Man TV series and handpicks American writing team Man of Action (Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle), the creators of Ben 10 and Generator Rex, to create, write and executive produce the show.
At the Long Beach Comic Con 2015, Duncan Rouleau gave out more details regarding the show's combination of game-based and new material such as the backstories of some characters being different with "a few surprises," creating both new major and minor villains other than Dr. Wily and the Robot Masters and including Easter eggs for fans, while still focusing the show for a new audience. Man of Action also noted they've been working closely with Dentsu Entertainment and Capcom, trying to write stories that will appeal more to western audiences. They also confirmed that the art-style would be much closer to how the characters appear in the games and Capcom's official art rather than the more superhero-like designs of the 1994 cartoon, as noted by Rouleau regarding the visual appearance of Mega Man himself "The Mega Man that you knew and fell in love with is still going to be the same Mega Man. He's going to be the younger version of him, because there are so many variations of who he could be, but we're going with the total, squat, awesome, big-boot, big-gun Mega Man".[7]
On May 26, 2016, DHX Media announced that they would be co-producing the series with Dentsu, as well as handling distribution and licensing for it outside of Asia.[8] An image of the first iteration of the show's design for Mega Man was released alongside the announcement. Later that year, Nerdist conducted an interview with the Man of Action creative crew, where it was said that Mega Man would be "optimistic" in this series, with the show's visual aesthetic drawn by Rouleau in conjunction with Capcom with inspiration by older anime shows like Gigantor and Speed Racer.[9] The outlet initially reported that the series would air on Disney XD,[10][11] but that was later retracted with Dentsu stating a broadcast on the channel was never confirmed.[12][9] In late January 2017, footage from an incarnation of the series with the same design leaked through a demo reel posted by animation studio Film Roman.[13] This was later removed, with a representative from Dentsu Entertainment describing it as an internal animation test not reflective of the show's current look.[12]
On April 3, 2017, Dentsu and DHX announced that the series was delayed to 2018 and would premiere on Cartoon Network in the United States (making it the third series based on the franchise to air on the network, after MegaMan NT Warrior and Mega Man Star Force) and Family Chrgd in Canada. It was then revealed that the series would be animated by DHX Studios Vancouver, utilizing computer generated imagery with a heavily revised design.[14][15] The next month, Jakks Pacific signed on to produce toys based on the series.[16]
At the 2018 Licensing Expo, DHX Media's promotion for the series listed the series under the new title Mega Man: Fully Charged.[5] The show held its premiere at the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con on July 20.[17] The series officially debuted on television in the United States on August 5, 2018, with the first 10 episodes available through on-demand platforms on August 3. Reruns began airing on Boomerang in the United States on August 12.[18] The series was removed from both channels' schedules after 10 weeks, though it eventually returned the following January.[19][20][21] The Canadian Family Chrgd broadcast began on September 8, 2018.[22][23] It premiered on Pop in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2018.[24] In Southeast Asia, the series debuted on Disney XD on June 3, 2019.[25] An Australian premiere on 9Go! followed on July 15.[26]
