Ohhh boy where do I even begin with this one. All I have to say is that I can never quite get this matchup so I think I have a perfect idea on how we can begin. let's look at the connections shall we?
Both are blue-themed fighters with very high tech armor and powers. Both possess arm cannons (X Buster and Arm Cannon respectively). Both work with a law enforcement organization (The Maverick Hunters to X and the Galactic Federation to Samus). Both have purple-themed rivals who are responsible for what they've become (Vile to Mega Man X and Ridley). Both also have upgraded armors (Ultimate Armor and Varia Suit respectively). Both also have made crossovers from other franchises (Marvel vs Capcom and Super Smash Bros respectively)
Alright first of all having appeared in crossovers applies to literally every single fictional character in existence. Secondly having upgrade armors is nothing new to thousands of other characters so the only connections they have are blue themed heroes with a cannon for an armor and have rivals who are purple. Though that last part is complete and utter bullshit because if anyone is a rival to X it would definitely be Zero and Ridley is not a rival the guy's an archenemy of Samus so connections have been debunked. Both have better options for X be has Optimus Primal from Transformers which looking at this now it is definitely X's best MU.

The connections between Mega Man X and Optimus Primal is that both are 90s successcors to classic and iconic robot heroes from the 80s (Mega Man and Optimus Prime, respectively) set in distant future of both their predecessors are mere memories and the war is over (Mega Man's war against Dr. Wily and Optimus Prime's Great War was over). Both ushered in a new form for their species being the first of their kind (Reploids and Organic Beast Modes, respectively) Both started out with humble begining (X was Dr. Cain's assistant and Primal was some cargo ship pilot) but were forced to embrace their heroism due to war in their current eras (Maverick Wars and Beast Wars, respectively), they both also have enemies who eventually became their friends and allies (Zero and Dinbot, respectively) both are the leaders of heroic organizations (Maverick Hunters and Maximals, respectively) dedicated to fight evil robots (Mavericks and Predacons, respectively) who are led by the main antagonists of their series (Sigma and Megatron, respectively). However they ended up making some questionable moral choices despite their heroism, Ultimately leading to the near extinction of their race (The end of the Beast Wars and Elf Wars, respectively) But in the end both gave their life to restore their world, bringing about a new age where the technological and organic were merged and were as one. Ultimately restoring things after their conflict. They also went on becoming spiritual guides for the next generation.
