About
The Protomen is the debut album release by indie rock band The Protomen. It is a rock opera loosely based on the Mega Man video game serie, and the first volume of a planned series of albums on this theme. The follow-up, Act II: The Father Of Death, was released on September 8, 2009. Act III was released January 9th, 2026. While the plot of the album is adapted from the Mega Man game, it takes substantial liberties with the original storyline, functioning as a dystopic reworking of the games' thinly developed narrative. Plot Synopsis: The album begins with a description of a dystopia ruled by Doctor Wily and his army of robots (Hope Rides Alone). Doctor Light apparently works for Wily's government, but by night he builds a robot to lead a rebellion against Wily — Proto Man. When Proto Man is finished, he is sent to fight Wily's forces and liberate mankind — however, after defeating many of Wily's robots Proto Man is weakened, and the robot army launches a final assault. The human masse, too frightened of Wily to assist Proto Man, allow him to die. .
