Yea I plan on Elec Man being destroyed. It won't be that emotionally moving, as he could get repaired... unless his Integrated Chip is destroyed then the data for Elec Man's personality and everything else that makes Elec Man well... Elec Man will be gone.
However Elec Man's weapon chip will be in one piece which can then be used by anyone with the right data to actually scan it and use it.
