(What? Really? *E-Ehrm*)
In the year 20XX, Dr. Right's robots were kidnapped & reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to gain him world domination.
In order to stop Dr. Wily & the reprogrammed Robot Masters, Dr. Right modified his robot assistant, Rock, into
a super fighting robot. However, Rock was severely incapacitated with the Robot Masters onslaught. Nonetheless,
Roll, Dr. Right's housekeeping robot & Rock's sister, presented herself & is willing to be modified for battle,
to save her 'brothers' & save the worlf from Dr. Wily's evil scheme. Astounded by Roll's compassion, Dr. Right
transformed Roll into a super fighting robot girl! So Roll-chan was born! Haha~ so... yeah.
