Heh. I'm sure it's coincidental, but it's an oddly appropriate coincidence. Now I want to go paint an MVAS with hot rod flames

Personally, I've always loved that piece of RWZ music, especially the part starting at 0:28 in that video.
Additional, I had an AE arc from a Malta contact who at one point hires you to retrieve a Zeus Titan designated C00-P XLR when it is stolen by a group of joyriding teenagers.
.
Rock music sounding unoriginal?? OMG
@MidnightGuard - on Union you may know me as:
Mr. Vile - Electroman X - Zenodorus - Battler
Naga Knight - Stinkspitter
I'm just popping onto say how much I love, love, LOVE Megas XLR and how I miss it so very much.
I miss Coop's "final battle rant" every episode too.
Rest in peace, my favorite cartoon. Rest in peace.
American Dawg, Starblaze, Neanderthal Joe, Shining Dawn, Tokamak Dragon, Stinger Incarnate, Burning Tyger, Dover Tornado, Big Roach, Dark Paladin, Archmage Wylde, Kings Row Hornet, Prancing Deer

The music for Megas and the original music for CoX were both worked on by Kevin Manthei.

I too miss this cartoon. I loved the intro since I dig Giant Robots! I miss a few other 90s and early(200-2005ish) Cartoons.

They don't sound remotely similar beyond being the same style of music.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill

Not this one, which is why it was a valuable prototype.|

I can hear the similarity. They both have a guitar descending in pitch as main beat. But I did not think of Megas XLR msyelf.

Actually, one of the Rogue Morality missions involves an Arbiter stealing a Zeus Titan that he wants you to pilot into a self-sufficient area of the Grandville gutters.

They're not similar except for the fact they are, is what you're trying to say?

While I don't usually play with the music on in CoH, I do go through the .oggs out of curiosity and while listening to some of the Rikti War Zone themes I automatically thought Megas XLR. Is it just my imagination?
