Mega Man Animated Series Will Introduce New Alter-Ego
Dentsu Entertainment and DHX Media's upcoming Mega Man animated series will focus on Aki Light — a regular, everyday kid who also happens to be schoolboy robot.

Familiar characters -- like Mega Man's adorable robotic dog, Rush -- will be a part of the series, and new characters, like Mega Mini, will make their debut.
IGN has an exclusive image reveal of Mega Man with Mega Mini you can check out below.
