Each robot to appear in Megaman 1 through 8 is congruent to one of the original 7 planets or the sphere of the fixed stars which are actually not fixed but revolve around a black hole in the center of the galaxy located on the zodiac at approximately 26"50' Sagittarius. There are actually 1 + 64 robots, but seeing as though Protoman's "Robot Number" (shown in the credits of Megaman 1) is 0, he is absent from the list of 8 x 8.
According to the official Megaman storyline Protoman was the first robot created in an effort between Dr. Light and his then assistant Dr. Wily. Protoman's official robot number as assigned by Capcom is 0. Thus he sits apart and above the 'bots built after him, at sometimes attacking Rock (Megaman)as an inferior obsolete rival, and now aiding him as an older wiser brother who has gone first. Protoman can be likened to the 9th sphere, the sphere beyond the fixed stars, symbolic of the All and First Thought Emanation in Gnostic spiritualism.
Also note, that Megaman's original name is "Rock" and he had a sister named "Roll". Rock and Roll. Their robot numbers are 1 and 2 respectively. I will also be posting a version of this list with a annotated commentary dealing with why the robots were assigned these planets and one or two alternative line-ups for a couple of the games.
