Description
There's a funny story behind this. See, I wanted to try and colour something with a much older version of Photoshop, but I couldn't really find any downloads, nor was 5.0 LE still on my XP. So I tried airbrushing the hell out of this, and...this was not the effect I was looking for.Still, I think it turned out alright. Pulled the colours from an anniversary image instead of MM10 art this time.
I think that "X is the original Megaman post-upgrade" theory is one of the few bits of fanon to survive the years. It was apparently disproven in an old (like, "X1 hasn't come out in Japan yet" old) interview, yet Capcom has been very secretive about any connection between X and Rock. Interview is here, by the way: [link]
Despite my comment there, I actually don't remember if I always thought of X and Rock as separate guys or not. Either way, it's fun to have these two interact, and work out how Rock would deal with X-era X losing most/all of his memory of 20XX.
As for the "X is Rock" debates--all I know is that they tend to get real long, allegedly. Even discussing what's supposed to separate one from the other is something you only do when you have vast amounts of free time.
(Also...game-X's hair. I think I came up with ten different styles in the past; this time, I wanted to both finalize it and make it distinct from RS-X's hairstyle. Knowing me, I'll forget about the first one)

Seriously though. that rumor/theory is false. Inafune himself said so explicitly.

I know; that's why I linked to an article where he said they weren't the same.

X: Well little-big Brother,those people are potheads.
Rock: I figured as much.

Whoa, interesting. You gave X the same type of hairstyle that I gave him.

A weird story i read is that due to the Roboenza it causes Rock to go insane and he merges with his dog. Rock goes on a killing spree and Forte has to stop him, but it was all Dr. Wily's plan to merge Forte Gospel and Mega and Rush to create an unstoppable killing machine. So they get merged together but now it goes on an even bigger killing spree and Dr. Wily has to release Zero to quell his spree. thus undoing the 15 years of good deeds by Dr. Light and Rock. X and Zero are buried for 30 years and Both of the Doctors locked away.

At this point, fanon tends to make a lot more sense than the canon at times. X__x;;
Personally, though, I just have an AU, so I figured using fanon theories for it wouldn't be too awful. Not to mention the ever-so-fun AGNST that can be done with the theory if you also add Amnesia Of Past Life and it being an Emergency Transformation.
This being said, the idea of Rock and X being in the same room is AWESOME. Someone tell me they didn't cancel Rockman Online?

As far as I know, RMO is still alive. It appears to take place in its own continuity, though, so...

Of course it does. Oh well. XD At least it hasn't been canned yet.

X and Mega Man being different robots is something Capcom has consistently denied. X is Mega Man's youngest brother. But it's still interesting to see them interact (part of Mega Man's Awakening is the two finally getting to meet each other). Personally I think X must feel somewhat awkward about being similarly designed to his big bro.

Same as Gauntlet, I used to believe they were the same bot, and I freely admit that I was mistaken. I know for a fact that in canon Rock and X are not the same robot, now. That doesn't stop me from sometimes making them the same bot in AUs and such but I make sure to mention as thus. I also remember Inafune stating at one point they were not the same robot...

I used to be adamant they were the same bot, at leats in the first concept. I admit I was mistaken. It really didn't help that Capcom was so cagey with their connection for several years. What's to be cagey about whent here isn't any real connection? Just some of Capcom's pointless mysteriousness, I guess.

I guess Capcom forgot about that interview and wanted to save the reveal for the next big X game that they might never make. :/
