| The Big Guy(s) | Dex and GutsMan |
| The Smart Guy(s) | Yai and Glyde |

| The Hero | Colonel | ProtoMan | Later, each of them switches roles with MegaMan. |
| The Lancer | MegaMan | MegaMan | |
| The Big Guy | KnightMan and TomahawkMan | MagnetMan and NapalmMan | The former from each team specializes in defense, and the latter in offense. |
| The Smart Guy | ShadowMan and NumberMan | GyroMan and SearchMan | The former two specialize in infiltrating enemy territory, the latter two specialize in retrieving items |
| The Chick | ToadMan | Meddy | Has supportive abilities. |
- Sadly, this arrangement doesn't really apply to the operators, all of whom are Heroes, Lancers, or Chicks (with the lone exception of Smart Guy Higsby).
