## History

Main Article: History of Rock Bot

RockBot was created when Mega Man 9 was not ported to the Play Station 2, but on the new PS3 and XBOX360 of consoles, feeling as a missed opportunity, Iuri Fiedoruk (the creator of the series) made a early Prototype of the game engine with Open PS2 SDK and knew the console could handle it.

**The Removal Arc**

When RockBot 2 was removed on the play store, Luri made a blog post on his website explaining the situation. And another post about the future of the series and as well as a 'new project'. Which was confirmed to be Project FireFly. He also said that the game was "Impersonating" other apps like also showing Mega Man & Rock Bot's sprite side by side in comparison.
