The Protomen - The Will of One

For much better quality, search for this on Newgrounds.

In Dr. Wily's dystopian future, only one man was willing to oppose his rule... Dr. Light worked in secret to create a robot to fight the evils standing between man and freedom. But Protoman was defeated by Wily's robot army, and mankind only looked on, apathetic. Light was devastated. This time, he had built more than a machine. He had built, and lost, a son. Not long after, he created Megaman. Light knew it was only a matter of time before he learned what had happened, so he cautioned, commanded, and begged Megaman not to follow in his brother's footsteps. Mankind could not be saved by just one man.

But Megaman wasn't about to let Protoman go unavenged...

This music video was made with the permission and full support of those rad dudes who call themselves Protomen. It's is the fourth song on their self-titled debut album, and immediately follows 'Unrest in the House of Light' (and you should check out my video for that, too, if you haven't yet!).

Most of the artwork is based on Megaman7 sprites, which were painstakingly recolored, spliced, and/or completely drawn by me. So please don't write this off as 'just another sprite flash'! There's also a nougat of original artwork in there, which I hope to do more of in future projects, if it goes over well and I can get better at it.

I took pains to ensure that the quality of the audio is the best possible, but unless you have awesome computer speakers it's probably not going to do band justice. The subtitles are there because I love you. Please check out the myspace link for a higher quality listen.

This should have been finished months ago. Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive and patient, especially my fellow Proto-fans! I hope it's worth it. And if you're still living in ignorance of the awesome that is The Protomen, please don't spend another moment in the dark.
