Dr. Light’s experiments go haywire and inadvertently create a new hero in the Mega Man teaser trailer for Secret Level

The new Mega Man teaser trailer for Prime Video’s Secret Level tells the explosive origin of Capcom’s Blue Bomber.

Prime Video‘s Secret Level presses start on the animated anthology series from Love Death + Robots makers on December 10. Still, one of the presentation’s biggest attractions, Mega Man, is teasing his adventure early. A new teaser trailer for the Mega Man episode of Secret Level is making the rounds online, giving us a taste of the Blue Bomber’s origin story and the animation style of the anticipated short.

Secret Level’s Mega Man teaser trailer finds Rock, aka Mega Man, attacked by one of Dr. Light’s inventions. As the two robotic characters trade light-based attacks, Dr. Light’s lab is set aflame as Rock, on his way to becoming Mega Man, realizes the strength of his Mega Buster. Wielding that kind of power comes with a lot of responsibility. Thankfully, Rock is a hero to his core, using the Mega Buster to defeat Dr. Wily’s evil automatons.
