I hate how Archie comics try to explain it.Also also, the whole "Reploids have free will, Classic series robots don't" implodes on itself because Ballade, Bass, and King all have rebelled against Dr. Wily on their own.
The only reasonable explanations for this are:
A) Classic series robots do have a free will, after all, or
B) Dr. Wily is such a dumb fuck he can't be bothered to program his robots to be loyal to him.
X: you got a good spirit, kid!
Rock: nah, I was just programmed to help others.
“Help others” is still free will, Flynn!! It is too vague, it requires cognitive thinking, aka sentience, to make complex independent decisions like this.
Then again maybe I’m reading too deeply into Flynn’s writing. He was way too persistent about continuity though which is an issue with his writing. His Megaman comics were a bit odd. It’s cool that he respected the lore, but being a writer of a non canon comic doesn’t put you under an obligation to not take any creative liberties.
Mini rant over.
