Bob and George/Headscratchers

• When Bomb Man was singing in the corner, why was "I'm Just a Love Machine" chosen, instead of, say, "Sex Bomb"?
  • To avoid using the word sex, and/or to use the word machine.
• Try as I might, I can't figure out how they got Mega Man's AI back when it was blown out of his arm and how they dealt with the Vic AI that had to impersonate him.
  • Remember that 'fucking Ran recolour', Random? Not just a one-shot Ran-Bomb gag. And Word of God states that Dr. Light removed Vic offscreen at some point.
• The epilogue confuses me. Is the Shadowy Author really the Author from the future, come back to the past to avert a time paradox or something?
  • Yes.
• At the end of the Epilogue, it says that after Zero accidentally told Dr. Wily that he would end up killing everyone, Wily decided to never activate Zero and the Cataclysm never happened, causing everyone to go live in Acapulco to avoid a time paradox. So how come Zero is with them in Acapulco in the end? Shouldn't he never have been activated?
  • Wily probably programmed Zero with fake memories of killing everyone, and then set Zero on a timer to wake up later.
  • Could be one from a universe where everything went down as normal. Alternatively, just say "I hate time travel" and leave it at that.
  • Additionally, presuming Bob and George went home at the end, how are they in Acapulco? The early reveal of the Cataclysm shouldn't have affected them, since according to the epilogue they're home and never return.
    • The epilogue also says everyone died in the cataclysm. I just took that to mean that everything up to that point (including Bob and George never returning) was what would have happened if they hadn't gotten Genre Savvy.
