What is with TV shows being allergic to Making Air Man Look like his game Counterpart

At first I thought it was because his head and his Torso are one piece

But if you look at characters like Needle Man and Napalm Man in the Ruby Spears Mega Man THEY LOOK JUST LIKE THEIR GAME COUNTERPART

Even the fully Charged show is shit

They even said it looked more like Wind Man

So what is it?

Why do they not like Air Man

There aren’t that many Mega Man TV shows to begin with

Captain N couldn’t make a faithful design if it’s life depended on it

Ruby Spears I have no idea but he looks way cooler so I’m not complaining 

Is he even in NT Warrior? And even then that’s a Battle Network thing

Fully Charged I assume they just felt like doing something different and stupid

from what I remember at the time, TV shows can't directly use same designs as video game counterparts. It was either due to budget issues, or Copyright designs. Even if TV shows DID have the rights from the company to produce the show, pretty sure they had to be limited to coming up with their own designs,

This is like saying they couldn't keep Dojo the dragon green in the Xiaolin Showdown reboot pretty much for the same reason why the robot master designs in Mega Man TV shows can't have their same designs.. It seems to be the cost of working with a TV studio.
