The Protomen/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

In General

  • Their entire existence.
  • In-universe, everything that Joe does.
  • According to witnesses at the Queen tribute show, Panther not only successfully pulled off the Freddie Mercury scream in "Under Pressure", but made the microphone and stage vibrate as he did so.
  • One day Heath Who fell on his back while playing a song. He continued playing while on his back.
  • KILROY's speeches at major shows, including the Act II release show and the Act I Vinyl release show.
    • KILROY's speeches at all shows.
  • The fans raising 32K for a documentary project whose goal was 8K.
  • When Panther fell in the cookie incident, he later recalled the voice of God speaking to him, telling him it was his time. The Nightwalker said it wasn't and told him to stay with them. It worked.
  • In July 2011, their website was hacked. Combined with a false cease and desist letter and that Capcom canceled Megaman Legends 3, morale was low and people were panicked. So the Protomen sent everyone an epic news mailer detailing exactly how the C&D was fake, that the website would be back up soon, and reminded them to not get too angry at Capcom. And they weren't even that angry at the people who hacked them, jokingly suggesting The Megas were playing a prank. They closed the letter by renaming their tour "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now."
    • The hack was also taken care of the day after it began.
  • What has the band been doing after their fall tour ended? Besides working on the new CDs, they've been preparing for a stage show called Terminator the Second, which is The Terminator 2 In the Style Of William Shakespeare. And by preparing they mean composing music for it and acting in it.
  • The March 5th news post, appropriately titled "Hold Onto Your Butts...Again!". Not only did the Protomen release a 30 second clip of music from their live Queen cover show, they also announced Makeup and Vanity Set releasing his 8-bit remix on vinyl, and an April music video shoot for fan favorite Act II track Light up the Night. Even better? Fans are allowed to participate as extras!
  • The April 19 news post. While three shows were canceled, the reason for it was that the Protomen were asked to open a Tenacious D concert. And even better? They were preselling the Queen album and t-shirt.
  • Ringo Segundo crowd surfing at the Palladium on May 18th 2012 ... while still playing his guitar!
  • The Queen CD. All of it.

Act I

  • Dr. Light spending 12 years building Protoman. Proto puts up a good fight before being defeated, too.
  • The entirety of 'The Will of One'. Megaman defies Dr. Light and goes to learn the truth about his brother and the City, and sets off to fight Wily. As he visits Protoman's gravesite, he reads a message carved there: 'Hope Rides Alone'. With renewed energy, determined to finish what his brother started, he heads to the fortress. A crowd follows. As Wily's loudspeakers begin to chant the mantra, determined to quiet them, they throw the words right back as a battlecry. Bonus points for the music being awesome.
  • The entirety of 'Vengeance', with Megaman tearing through the robot army like it's nothing.
  • Protoman plowing through a chunk of Wily's army as he makes his way to Megaman in 'The Stand'.

Act II

  • Emily's speech in Father of Death is one big 'screw you' directed at Albert Wily. Too bad it doesn't end well...
  • Joe goes toe to toe with an armed assassination robot in hand to hand combat and comes out on top, only to have Light deliver the finishing blow.
  • Joe destroying the tower, made more awesome by his use of his motorcycle as a weapon.
  • Light renewing his resolve to save the City by building Protoman, using Joe's helmet as a template for Proto's.
