Aki Light is a robot living in Silicon City. Despite being a robot, he still leads a normal life and attends school. He also has quite a secret. His programming allows him to transform into Mega Man, complete with a Mega Buster and nanocore armor. He has to balance leading a dual life, where he’s a normal, robot attending school with other kids, while also transforming into Mega Man to protect Silicon City. Rush will also return as his pet robot dog.

The Mega Man cartoon will air in time for the 30th anniversary of the series. Dentsu Entertainment USA and DHX will handle US distribution of the show, Dentsu Inc. will take care of Asia, and DHX will handle remaining the remaining regions.
