Re: Megaman runs the gauntlet
Yikes. The reploids from 21XX are a quantum leap beyond Mega Man in every sense. He might be able to take out Spark Mandrill if he uses the Freeze Cracker from the getgo, never lets up, and uses Weapon Tanks to refuel. Otherwise, the Blue Bomber doesn't even make it past fight one. Spark Mandrill could probably take him out in 2-3 hits (reference Cutman vs X/Zero/Axl from X8).

During Mega Man X8, X, Zero, or Axl encounter a Cutman's revived data within a reploid training facility. He's quite pathetic, and can be destroyed with 2 solid hits. Cutman and Mega Man would have comparible durability, which is why I brought it up.

Spiffy! If he's at full power from Mega Man 7, he'll also have his Super Armor, Rush Jet, Thunder Bolt, Junk Shield, Freeze Cracker, Scorch Wheel, Slash Claw, Noise Crush, and Wild Coil, not to mention 4 E Tanks, 4 Weapon Tanks, one Super Tank, and the Proto Shield! With all those tanks, he should be able to take at least 5 hits.
He'll need every advantage. His first opponent is 10 feet tall and fast as heck! Spark Mandrill is known for both power and speed. His primary attack is the Electric Spark, which travels along the floor and ceiling in all directions. He's one of the more skilled members of the roster above; he was part of the Maverick Hunter's Elite 17th unit, along with Sigma, Zero, X, Vile, and Kuwanger.
I gotta disagree with that. Standard X can survive around 4 hits or less from Spark Mandrill (two if Mandrill uses his ginormous strength via Dash Punch). X's armor is Titanium X, tougher than Mega Man's Ceramic Titanium. I doubt Mega Man would survive more impacts than X. Not only that, but Rock's going to have to work much harder than X would to inflict damage on these enemies. X's X-Buster is a Mark 17 Mega Buster. Rock's is at most a Mark 4 Mega Buster. His offensive technology is 13 models obsolete!
Mega Man is outclassed here, IMO. Still love the gauntlet, though. Toss in Proto Man, Bass, and Duo and you've got yourself a battle!

Assuming Mega Man and Bass team up and get refills of E Tanks after each fight, I think they could make it to Sting Chameleon. They stop there. As you know, Chameleon can cloak himself at will and his armor is really quite thick (even X's charged blasts do little damage). Add that to his Ranger Unit training, his three-way Chameleon Sting, the "Super" Sting, and his lightning fast Iron Tongue, and you've got a 20XX duo killer.

Doubtful, since the Super Armor never provided more durability than Ceramic Titanium, only increased firepower and air mobility. Titanium X alloys were among the last breakthroughs Dr. Light created, significantly long after he created the Super Armor adaptor for Mega Man and Rush. It is extremely illogical that Dr. Light would have clad X in an alloy weaker than earlier alloys such as Ceramic Titanium. It can then be assumed that Titanium X > Super Armor and that Super Armor = Ceramic Titanium.
The Mega Arm is helping the team, as will Mega Man's immense physical strength (via Mega Uppercut), but you have to remember that Mega Man and Bass are at a major technology disadvantage; they're fighting with abilities that have been outdated for a century. Not only that, but they are fighting intelligent, skilled reploids (not limited AI robots), each with years of experience hunting down technologically advanced reploids. Those are bad odds for the 20XX team no matter how you slice it.

But X and Zero were technologically outmatched in the Z series, they managed to come out strong.Don't forget megaman has protomans sheild since this is megaman 7 full powered (All items ) megaman.

Forgive me if I sound as if I'm arguing, but I really love weighing in on all this background information from my favorite series!
You must remember that X is a special case. His power potential is limitless, therefore, unlike Mega Man and Bass, he can match the advantages of any technology. He can never become obsolete!
Zero's original body possessed the potential for limitless power also, when combined with a certain Virus. However, he was transferred to a copy body in the Zero series, which was significantly weaker than his original body. He prevailed during most of the Zero series with his incredible combat skills, experience learned with his original body over centuries. The Zero series gameplay reflects this; take a couple hits, and you're dead. His durability certainly wasn't up to snuff, but he was also able to keep pace with other, more powerful reploids by using Cyber Elves to increase his own abilities.
So you see, you can't really draw a comparison from X and Zero to Mega Man and Bass. X and Zero had A) The benefit of limitless potential or skill, or B) Powerups from the century in which they were fighting. Mega Man and Bass do not have the advantages of either. As such, the odds are against them getting to the end of the Gauntlet. But I'd cheer for 'em from the sidelines!

Mega Man's experience helps big time, and with all their gear, I'd say they make it to Sting Chameleon, who has the skills and powers to take both of them apart. Chameleon is a beast without his weakness.
