(Reploids have an unfortunate tendency to go "Maverick" and attack humans the Zero series takes place some years after a particularly huge Maverick War decimated the human population.) The first Mega Man Zero game gets your attention by setting up Mega Man X as the mastermind in charge of the Reploid cull. The overarching story for the Mega Man Zero series is especially interesting: It follows the struggle of Reploid refugees who are being mercilessly dispatched for the "safety" of the humans living in a walled city called Neo Arcadia.
Many of the games examine nature versus nurture, the impact of war on the soldiers on the frontlines, and the relationship between humans and Reploids (our sentient mechanical counterparts). That doesn't mean the Mega Man series is bereft of interesting messages, themes, or storylines. It's been over 20 years and I still can't unhear it.)
(Incidentally, a friend once pointed out to me that Zero sounds like Pee-Wee Herman when his scream of anguish trails off.
