Dr. Thomas Light is a scientist who works in the field of robotics, graduating forn the Institute of Technology and going on to create Light Labs. There he created his fist prototype android Blues, a Robot Master. Robot Masters have a special AI that allow them to feel simulated emotions, so they can feel happiness, sadness, or anger, however, they are still robots and must obey the Law of Robotics. However, Blues disappears in a lab accident and is believed to be dead. Despite this, Dr. Light does not give up and decides to create eight more Robot Masters, two of them were Rock, built to be a lab assistant and Roll, who was built to be a housekeeper. The rest were made to help mankind, and they were: Cutman, a timber felling robot; Gutsman, a forest reclamation robot; Iceman, an arctic explorer; Bombman, a ground disruption robot; Fireman, a waste management robot; and the prized Elecman, the atomic energy controller robot. In Mega Man Powered Up, they added two more robots: Oilman, a maintenance robot and Timeman, a prototype robot made to research time. However, another scientist named Dr. Wily grew jealous of his works being ignored and decided to reprogram Dr. Light's robots (in US canon he was Light's assistant and grew jealous of him not receiving enough credit), however he decided to leave out Rock and Roll since they had no use for a housekeeper and a lab assistant.
