Mega Man Volnutt, known as Rock Volnutt (ロック・ヴォルナット, Rokku Vorunatto) is a character from Capcom’s Mega Man Legends that appears as pair unit in Namco x Capcom.
Profile[]
A long time ago, MegaMan Volnutt was known as MegaMan Trigger (ロックマン・トリッガー,Rokkuman Toriggā, Rockman Trigger in Japan). Trigger's primary function was as a Purifier Unit on a synthetic planet called Elysium (or Heaven in the Japanese versions), a place that housed what is called the "Master System". The purpose of the Master System was to watch over the Carbons(essentially the equivalent to humans, though artificially created) on Terra. His job as a Purifier Unit was to eliminate any Aberrant Units (Irregulars in the Japanese version) that threatened the Master System. Trigger was also always close to the the Master throughout his tenure as a Purifier Unit. One day, the Master requested MegaMan to travel with him to Terra so he could see the Carbons, even though the Master could not survive long outside of Elysium. They used a Shuttlepod and landed in Calbania Island, where the Master compares the life of the Carbons with Elysium, and realizes that while he lived in luxury for 3000 years, Elysium was cold and sterile, while the Carbons are happy even with hardship, pain, aging, and subsequently dying, and decides to give MegaMan the final command to destroy the Master System to make things right again. Before dying, the Master gives his genetic code sample to protect MegaMan, and orders him to delete all data in Elysium's library.
After the Master's death, MegaMan Trigger tried to fulfill his dying wish. The units from the System tried to stop Trigger, thinking he became an Aberrant Unit. As time went by, Yuna (Mother Unit of Terra) decided to take a neutral position, neither helping nor fighting against Trigger. Frustrated with Yuna's decision, Sera (Mother Unit of Elysium) traveled to Terra herself to stop MegaMan, and the two fought each other to a standstill, expending all their energy. Trigger's original body was almost totally destroyed in the fight, and all his parameters had to be reset to heal (similar to formatting a hard drive), transforming him into a baby without any memory of the past. To avoid his memory being wiped out and make sure Sera would never find the Master's genetic code, Trigger transferred his essential data files to Data. Yuna took the opportunity to seal both inside stasis fields, with MegaMan and Data being sealed inside a ruin in Nino Island and Sera with Geetz in Forbidden Island, where they stayed for a long period.
Gameplay[]
Mega Man Volnutt first appear in Chapter 21: Steel Adventurous Spirit, where the Flutter suddenly crashed into the Third Moon, and they are attacked by its defenses, which included several Reaverbots and Rockman Juno. Mega Man Volnutt is partnered with his closest best friend Roll Caskett. Volnutt does not appear in Project X Zone, but he is mentioned by Tron Bonne in Chapter 20: The Maverick Hunters, when she mistakes Volnutt with Mega Man X, as they’re both similar.
