Remember that time we took that road trip that went on and on for years?
By Raijin (Snakeman) but mostly Gauntlet (Shadowman)
Hardman: nnnnnhhhhh...
Magnetman: Hardman with no personality? Not this crap again!
Topman: So, what're we gonna do now? We don't have a base or ...
Shadowman: ROAD TRIP!
Geminiman: To ... where??
Shadowman: It doesn't matter. I don't care. ROAD TRIP!
Needlegal: This is good, it's time to get away from the crowd and establish ourselves outside the community.
. . .
Sparkman: Wanna do a crossover with the S6?
Shadowman: Fine.
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
(The EXE series is introduced, and with it, Navi forms of existing Robot Masters and EXE teams. Sharkman.exe attempts to forcibly give Navi forms to the existing teams. The Maniacs stop him.)
Iceman: Which is nothing like the EXE adventure in the Sinister Six...
Shadowman: Nag, nag, nag.
Iceman: With you guys gone what will happen with ice VS Red?
Shadowman: I dunno. I'm sure you'll be able to think of something in the meantime.
Sharkman: Curse you Mechanical Maniacs for ruining my brilliant plan! Oh, how will I drown my sorrows? Perhaps I shall take up recreational narcotics...
Shadowman: You could just make up your own team. Maybe it'll catch on?
Sharkman: Yeah ... yeah! That's a ray of hope! And, like the other first-come teams from each series it's sure to last for years! Oh my life is looking up again!
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Shadowman: Now it's time for the road trip!
Topman: Wait! I have a birthday party coming up! Let's celebrate that before we leave.
Geminiman: I have a birthday coming up too.
Shadowman: Okay, okay! We can all have our birthday parties and then we can go on our road trip.
Dr. Wily: It is time, my minions, to ruin Geminiman's birthday party!
Chimeraman: You know, Topman is also celebrating his birthday party.
Dr. Wily: Yes ... we will ruin Gemini's special day ...
(Top and Gemini have their birthday parties, and Gemini gets the Gemini Force.)
Geminiman: Thanks guys! I'll be sure to use this so often that everyone will get sick of it!
Magnetman: Do the rest of us get birthday parties too?
Topman: You do when you write the stories.
Sparkman: Figures.
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
(The community member of several teams, best known as Clownman, joins as the new Hardman.)
Topman: You know he must be a reliable member if he's on so many teams. And his personality will probably blend in with the Hardman persona seamlessly.
Hardman: Hee hee! (Throws pies at everyone.)
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Galvatron: And so will I! Yeah, I'm still here!
Golgothan: Not for long!
(The giant Golgothan steps on Galvatron.)
Galvatron: Damn my cured fate! I'll get you yet!
(When the Maniacs attend a Super-Heroes Convention in metropolis, they gain an unwanted tagalong in the mysterious priest known as Xellos.)
Xelloss: I'm an incredibly powerful evil monster from the Slayers series. They call me the mysterious priest since I never tell anyone what my deal is and rub it in their faces. I'll only stick around to annoy you all until Gauntlet pays me back for using my catchphrase, "That is a Secret."
Shadowman: Yeah, I've been using that phrase until now. Was that mentioned yet? Well It's being mentioned now.
Player 2: Aw, that's right, don't mention me. I'm nobody anyway. Yeah, just ignore me and maybe I'll go away. Jerks ...
Galvatron: I'm back to destroy you! And I've brought some of my friends from 80's TV! We're the new Legion of Doom!!
The Legion of Doom: WooooOAAAAERGHH!!!!
Hardman: (Throws a rubber chicken at the Legion) Oh, just go away!
(The Maniacs fight many ninja clones...)
Ninjas: DIE!!!!
Bizarro Shadowman; Me am hate new friends!
(... meet Cell a couple times for the first time...)
Cell: What? We meet again for the first time? I don't understand.
Cell: You fool! This is what comes of publishing a story out of it's intended place! You people should have just left it unaired!
Mr. Satan: It's a trick! An elaborate trick!
Cell: What? a trick? I don't understand ...
(... and Sarah, C.J. and Gemini Red are all back, much of which turns out to be a temporal anomaly.)
Snakeman: That's weird. Who could be behind all of this?
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Snakeman: Man, that guy's annoying.
(Wily turns Geminiman evil for the first time.)
Dr. Wily: Now Gemini is finally on MY side! Now he will fight ... Gauntlet!
Bass: Brilliant plan ... dork.
Needlegal: So who're we gonna fight?
Cleaveman: Hey, guys. We're new villains.
Omniman: Chimeraman started to suck so Wily created us.
Chimeraman: HEY!
Sparkman: Are you guys any good?
Omniman: Not if you hit me with fire ...
Bass: Junk robots ...
Omniman: SHUT UP!
Warman: We're almost at 8! Only two more to go. That's something to look forward to.
Lennon (Geminiman): I no longer need you, Wily! Screw you! Gauntlet, I will defeat you and prove I am the strongest!
Gauntlet: C'mon.
Dr. Wily: Dammit, dammit, dammit! My plans never work!
Bass: Dork.
(Lennon fights Gauntlet and the 'Maniacs in an epic showdown.)
Geminiman: I'm no longer evil and must go on a journey to find myself!
Shadowman: That's lame too! Aaand he's already gone.
(While Lennon goes on his own solo quest featuring random crossovers with his favorite video games, the rest of the Maniacs are put in further peril by their association with Xelloss.)
Magma Dragoon: You assholes! Paling around with Xelloss!? You KNOW he's the enemy of all dragons, right!?
Shadowman: But it wasn't my idea! Tell 'em, Xellos!
Xelloss: I'll let you handle this one. (Xelloss disappears).
Green ranger: Get 'em!
Bruce Lee: YOU WILL PAY!
(Shadowman gets beat up a lot in this series. Xellos doesn't really do much to help the team while he's hanging around them.)
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Doc Robot: He has backup now! Remember me?
Magnetman: No.
Doc Robot: What!? You jerk!
King: I'm back too. Don't think you can throw away an awesome villain like me!
Needlegal: Shouldn't you be bothering a Rockman and Forte team or something?
King: Hey! Shut up!
Torchman: And I as well! You'll pay for all those times you tortured and desecrated me!
Gauntlet: Dammit, Torch, that never actually happened!
Bizarro Shadowman: Me am on winning team now!!!
(Soon, Gemini returns.)
Geminiman: I'm back from discovering my totally awesome backstory.
Snakeman: Does it explain why you're such a Mary Sue?
Geminiman: I'll ignore that. I learned that I was once a human video game nerd that became very powerful in the video game world so Wily wanted to turn me into a secret weapon and ended up making an evil clone of me and that's why I'm part human and unique.
Sparkman: Ah.
(Galvatron's and Wily's plans collide ...)
Galvatron: Time to get killed by the Legion of Doom, Mechs.
Dr. Wily: My old pals Mother Brain, King Hippo, and Eggplant Wizard will surely be able to help me kill those meddlesome Mechs! After all, they killed the Mega Metroids a while back, so surely Mother Brain must have a burning desire for revenge.
Mother Brain, Krang: I'VE FOUND MY SOULMATE!
Dr. Wily: Darn.
Mumm-ra: My Alzheimer's been cured! YOU DARE TO USE MUMM-RA THE EVER LIVING FOR YOUR PETTY PLANS!?
The Legion of Doom: SHIT!
Galvatron: Wait! Guys! We can make this work! Guys!
Sparkman: So much for them.
(The Legion of Doom breaks up.)
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Magnetman: Alright, is something going to come out of your random appearances any time soon?
(The temporal anomalies converge on the south pole where Quint, Xelloss, Ultimecia, and Extant are revealed to be part of an evil plan to control all reality.)
Magnetman: Oh. Good?
Topman: No. Very bad. We'll have to mess up reality quite a lot to come out on top this time.
Gemini Red: You said it, pal!
Shival: Hey, guys, mind if I guest star?
Shadowman: Sure.
Shival: Sweet!
Bizarro Shadowman: Me am not betrayed at all...
Doc Robot: Me too ... I think.
Needlegal: Wait, what was all this about!?
Xelloss: To get our hands on a golden shadowblade that was foreseen by our time villains!
Shadowman: (Whips out a golden shadowblade) Oh you mean this?
Xelloss: (Takes it away) Yep, that's the one.
Shadowman: DARN!
Extant: It's nice to randomly return. We let Doc Robot and Bizarro tag along since they also had access to Shadow Blades, but we couldn't seem to get it from them ... Now you showed up to help us along! Xellos followed you along all this time because we knew it was a possibility that the Golden Shadowblade would turn up among you.
Xelloss: Totally a real plan and not made up on the spur at all.
Ultimecia: Time Kompression!
(Extant, Ultimercia, and Xelloss destroy the Gemini Force in the ensuing battle.)
Gizmo: : Aw, that was a birthday present!
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Torchman: REVENGE!!!
King: Yes, REVE - wait, what's going on with the McGuffin?
(The Maniacs' struggle creates a temporal explosion and everyone dies. Mostly.)
Shival: And so ends my random guest appearance.
Titanium 91 (Magnetman): Now I get more time to devote to the Noid! NOID!
Jonathan (Hardman): I've been away from my circus too long. Too bad since I was the perfect Hardman. (Throws pies everywhere.)
Jacob (Snakeman): Wow, I lingered here for a while. Back to bugging Gary.
Sean: Wait, you weren't in the explosion at all!
Jacob (Snakeman): Yeah, I quit in the downtime between Series 3 and 4, so let's just pretend I was here the whole time.
Sean: Good plan!
Shival: Wow, half the team just up and quit. That's a new record!
Titanium 91 (Magnetman): Yeah, good luck, Gauntlet! LONG LIVE THE NOID!

(The remaining downgraded Maniacs - Shadowman, Needlegal, Topman, and Geminiman - were shunted to an alternate dimension where Cossack is apparently ruler of the world.)
Shadowman: This sucks. We're hunted by the law and an ineffectual Megaman. We'll probably have to hunt down and fight the MM4 Robot Masters and confront Cossack to get our armor back, refill our roster, and get back home.
Megaman: Mega stop, Wilybots!
Needlegal: You know, yer kinda cute when you try to be threatening.
Lennon (Geminiman): Isn't my new Lennon sprite awesome?
Topman: It's pretty tall isn't it?
Lennon (Geminiman): It's a good disguise in this alternate reality universe.
Dr. Cossack: Yeah, but it doesn't work so well when I'm able to guess yer plans.
Shadowman: Lennon, you and your human forms!
Hard: nnnnnnnnhhhhhhhhhh.
Topman: Someone give Hardman a lozenge.
Toadman: Aw, don't tell me I suck even in an alternate reality.
Diveman: Shut up ya traitor.
Toadman: *dies*
(While tangling with Cossack and Captain N's Megaman, evil parallel universe versions of the MM3 Team kill the Cossack Bots and Dr. Cossack himself. The otherverse Megaman recognizes the Maniacs as allies .)
Dr. Cossack: Damn ... I thought I'd be important ... *dies*
(Evil Shadow stands triumphantly over Cossack's body.)
Evil Shadow: Fu fu fu ... I get all the best scenes.
Shadowman: I guess that was the easy part.
Needlegal: Except for all the being captured and thrown in jail...
Topman: Well that was mostly just you.
Megaman: Robot doubles!? I guess those wacky "Mechanical Maniacs" are good guys, eh sis?
Mega Girl: Shut up! I hate you!
Protoman: Don't forget about me, bro!
Megaman: I wish I could. Come on, guys, time to go to base camp!
Mega Girl: Pussy.
Geminiman: Finally! We finally have any kind of base!
(Dr. Light restores their Transmetal armor and introduces them to their new team members.)
Dr. Light: Ho ho ho, I'm a useful plot device.
Geminiman: Yeah, it all worked out nicely, didn't it Master Light?
Dr. Light: And I've decided to finally convert Megaman into a fighting robot.
Megaman: Wow! Look at me! I look so cool! And .... hey..... I HAVEN'T SAID "MEGA" ONCE YET! MY SPEECH IMPEDIMENT IS CURED! YIPEEEEEEE!
Shadowman: Nice improvement there.
Mega Girl: What about me?
Dr. Light: Heavens no! If you out fighting who would clean the toilet after one of my diarrhea attacks?
Mega Girl: Fucking dirty ..
Dr. Light: LANGUAGE, Mega girl! Language.
Hadrian: Um ... hello?
Topman: Hello and welcome aboard the Mechanical Maniacs, total strangers!
(Hadrian, Hexlaser, Novaman, and Musashi Razz are found to have also been shunted to the otherverse from the Maniacs' home dimension and they become Hardman, Snakeman, Magnetman, and Sparkman respectively. With Dr.Light, Megaman, and Mega Girl on their side, the Maniacs try to stabilize the world in the wake of Cossack's power vacuum, but tend to mess things up worse.)
Snakeman: I guess we're robots now. How does that work? And where's this armor everyone keeps blabbing on about actually stored?
Shadowman: Erm ....... heh. Now THAT is a secret! I assure you it's all very complicated and technical.
Sparkman: It's pretty convenient that the number of people shunted to this reality is the same number of people you need to fill spots on yer team.
Shadowman: Er, um ... look over there! Rush is doing something stupid! And a saxophone is playing. Hah hah hah! Everyone just concentrate on the silly dog! Pay no attention to the plot details.
Rocman X: Hello everyone. I'm from the future and I need your help.
Quint: I'll destroy you all!
Quint's Henchmen: We'll help!
Hardman: You know what? We need to upgrade you like we upgraded Megaman over there. Then you could stop the villains of your time easily!
Megaman: Sizzling Circuits! A brilliant and well articulated plan, Hardman.
Hardman: I do pride myself on my articulation, Mega.
Dr. Light: How do you feel now, Roc?
ix: AWSOME! I'm gonna go back to the future and DESTROY EVERYTHING! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Needlegal: Oops.
(The Mechanical Maniacs have lots of adventures...)
Weird narrator voice from Megaman 8: You got... BALLOON!
Megaman: The hell?!
Light/Right: Look! You press fire, and a balloon comes out that you step on! THE DOCTOR IS DOOMED!!!
Magnetman: Oh, man, the less time we spend around here the better. How do we get home?
Dr. Light: I apparently can't make interdimensional portals on my own.
Magnetman: Useless.
Dr. Light: But the Evil MM3 team's mysterious "Doctor" benefactor might have what you need.
Evil Shadow: You'll need to fight your way through all of us to get the chance!
Evil Top: And don't think it'll be so easy, you insipid hooligans! I have a genius level IQ.
Other Evil 'Maniacs: We're awesome!
Sparkman: Unless someone destroys your brain. (Sparkman clasps his hands around his doppelganger's head and fries it like an egg. The rest do much the same.)
Geminiman: That was one intense fight!
Hardman: It was so ... graphic! I don't think we'll have a more graphic fight ever,. Not even if we reach Series 6! Nope. Won't happen.
Protoman: It's time for our final battle, Mega Dweeb!
Megaman: Bring it on, Proto ... Dweeb ... damn I messed that up.
(Megaman and Protoman go off and fight too.)
Needlegal: Good riddance.
Snakeman: Now to face Wily, because who else could it be?
(It's Doctor Doppler!)
Doppler: I've created a super robot that will take years to fully activate so I came back in time to set things in motion! Heh heh, my Limited Virus-augmented creations are nigh-invincible! It's all thanks to the way you unwittingly altered future history when you botched dealing with those time-travelers.
Shadowman: Well that's time travel for you. Can we go home yet?
Doppler: Not before fighting your way through Bizarro Shadowman Limited!
Bizarro Shadowman: Worser than never!
Megaman: Here I come to save the day!
Doppler: You beat Protoman!?
Megaman: Sure did, and with my variety of powers Bizarro's Borg shields won't have a chance to adapt.
Bizarro Shadowman: But me and still NEVER LIVING!
Doppler: He means "immortal."
(Happily Bizarro is tricked into flying through a conveniently placed dimensional portal.)
Doppler: Damn it! I knew I should have moved that before the fight. Damn me and my lazy ways.
Sigma: Hey, guys. I'm good in this reality. Looks like you mopped everything up, so I'll take Doppler here to the future for some R&D. Shadowman managed to send a message to me in the future using Doppler's portal, which is how I made it here. Boy, that guy is amazing, isn't he?
Shadowman: Three cheers for Shadowman! Three cheers for me! And I also set the co-ordinates on Doppler's portal to some random place in our reality. I doubt we'll be seeing that joker ever again.
Topman: At least we all got to contribute to the fight in some way. Even though Shadowman saved all the choice moments for himself.
Needlegal: Back in our home world! Ahh, finally everything is back to normal. Except we still don't have a base, the Decepticons are taking over the world, the X-Force were destroyed in our absence, and Lennon is dead from the previous battle.
Evil Lennon: BLARGH!
Hardman: Evil Lennon!? WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!?
Evil Lennon: It happened in the Robotic Raiders epilogues. Wily loved Lennon so much he made a clone of him. I used to be Grenademan. But what's this? The regular me is dead!
Lennon: And with a MUCH taller sprite! Sorry for dying, brother.
Evil Lennon: I'll merge with my dead good half so that we will both live.
Snakeman: Should we trust a guy with "evil" in his name?
Shadowman: Eh. With Lennon there's really not much of a difference.
Geminiman: Now I have a gem created by the merge.
I'm sure this'll be very important in the future.
(Lennon is resurrected. The Maniacs are unable to find notoriety after being away for so long, so they mooch off the Sinister Six for the remainder of the Series.)
Iceman: Goodie! Now that you're finally back I can finish Ice VS Red!
Gutsman: Hey! This mansion isn't big enough for two teams! (For some reason.)
Shadowman: Say, just before we left on our road trip Sharkie started some "Viral Infection" thing. A few of us joined up with that and left copies behind so we could be in two places at once. What ever happened to them?
Shadowman.EXE: BLARGH! WE'RE EVIL!
(The Viral infection team is de-infected, their copies merged with the originals, and Sharkman left hanging.)
Skullman.EXE: No epic battle? "Pitifully short"!? Aw.
Shadowman: Oh, be glad you got an ending at all!
Sparkman: Everyone's merging personas in this story ... how exactly does that work?
Geminiman: Oh, just go with it.
Sharkman.EXE: Another team of mine bites the dust ... well, I think it's time to turn to recreational drugs.
Shadowman: Fine, you do that,
(The Maniacs go back to having random adventures, though almost all of them are part of the Decepticons' overarching plot.)
Topman: Evil robots are behind a Beyblade tournament? Really?
Darth vader: Hand over the Noid!
Dark Warrior: I'm gonna turn you all into Pokemon! A fate worse than death.
IRS guy: Gary Martin, you're under arrest for bank robbery.
Gary: Eep.
(When the Maniacs face Wily again, his Evil Eight have upgrades and new members.)
Golemman: There are actually eight of us now!
True Chimeraman: I'm too good for you losers now. I'm outta here!
Golemman: Aw.
Magnetman: So Wily built more losers, eh?
Artilleryman: Actually, we were Evil Duo's generals. We defected to Wily once the Robotic Raiders went down.
Magnetman: Wow, it sure is good that site is still up. That way I can totally read about how it happened and not be completely in the dark.
Geminiman: We have to form an alliance with the Evil Eight in order to beat True Chimeraman. How embarrassing.
Omniman: I hate you.
True Chimeraman: Thanks to Evil Energy I've been amassing I've become a threat to everyone!
(Some time passes after Chimera becomes a threat.)
True Chimeraman: After chillin' at my pad for a while it's time to kill everyone. Luckily I've made a Joe army to help me kill Wily, the Mechs, the Sinister Six, the Decepticons ... EVERYONE!
Omniman: You just need a good pummeling! DRILL LACNE!
True Chimeraman: Noooooooooooooo~!
Chimeraman: I guess I'm back to being an idiot.
Shadowman: I didn't save the day this time? How can this be?
(The Decepticons work behind the scenes to capture the remnants of dying out teams to aid in their plans. Viral Infection's villain the Death Virus and the Robotic Raiders villain Evil-Energy-Infected Duo are combined to give them the ability to possess all the robots on earth.)
Galvatron: When teams die, your mythology is basically up for grabs. Nghah!
Nightbird: ....
(The Maniacs work together with the newly Transmetalized Sinister Six to counter the infection and uncover the hidden mastermind, Bizarro Shadowman! Upgraded! Again!)
Bizarro Shadowman: In case you're not keeping track, that's Shadowman + Bizarro + Borg + Limited + Transformer + Sigma + EXE + Evil Energy + Intelligence - Speech Impediment = Awesome.
Gutsman: All this happens after Ice VS Red, but before our Season 4.
Fireman: I guess this means this is, technically, the last hurrah of the old Sinister Six! Crossover time!
Gutsman: This whole half of a series has been a crossover!
Waspinator: Wazzzpinator LOVES crozzoverz!
Black Convoy: This team of Decepticons is a testament to the power of crossovers.
Galvatron: It's my last hurrah, so everyone go and be AWSOME!
Bizarro Shadowman: Except I'm the one actually in charge.
Sigma: And I've come back too! For revenge!
Galvatron: Oh, shut up, Bizarro. Time for the last ingredient to our virus concoction ... Sigma!
Sigma: Aw, crud.
(Thanks to their Transmetal Armor and Navi forms, the Maniacs manage to defeat Bizarro and the Decepticons, freeing the Autobots, who give the Maniacs their old base the Ark as a reward.)
Optimus Prime: It's time to go away, Galvatron. Into space. Where you'll never be heard from again.
Galvatron: Good. I don't like it here anyway.
Sigma: No hard feelings, Mechs?
Shadowman: Naw, we're all good. Since I don't know what time you came from in the future, I think it's best you just go back there.
Sigma: Oh, good!
Shadowman: But come back and our EXE forms will kill your ass!
Heatman: (aka Ben, formerly Magma Dragoon of the X-Force) you know, that whole timeline was destroyed. So if he tries to goes back this version of Sigma will probably be lost in transit and never return anyway.
Shadowman: What EVER.
(Sigma and Galvatron are never heard from again.)
Bizarro Shadowman: (Emerging from the sea) Whoa! Me am not changed into new body!
Shadowman: Yeah, I was kinda disappointed with the way that fight with you went down. Welcome back, Bizarro!
(Later, in deep space...)
UNICRON: I AM ALIVE! I AM THE ONE WHO FOUND BIZARRO SHADOWMAN AND UPGRADED HIM! BEWARE MY RETURN, PLANET EARTH! BEWARE!!
(Unicron never returns to the epilogues.)
Gutsman: At last! Our base is freeloader-free!
Shadowman: And we get another base that's much too large and isolated to be used at all effectively!
Snakeman: And everything turned out alright.
Xelloss: Except I ratted you out to the cops.
Shadowman: Xelloooss!
Magnetman: Dammit, I thought you were dead!
Xelloss: That explosion wasn't even able to kill YOU, so how could you possibly expect it to kill me?
Topman: It looks like the only way we can get out of this one is to shift the blame to a single member, most likely the least active one.
Needlegal: The only fair way to do this is to have a game of "not it." One ... two ...
Everyone Except the Inactive Hexlaser: Not it!
Snakeman: Not - ! Awwwwwwwww~. Screw you, guys.
(So Hexlaser gets his armor and robot form taken away goes to prison and Raijin becomes the new Snakeman for the next Series.)
Raijin: Just as planned...
