Here's where MM Classic robots went:

Robot Masters are scheduled to be dismantled when their service time is over and they are either no longer needed or are too old to make maintenance worthwhile (as is throughouly explained in MM9). People like Dr. Light kept their own robots (like Rock, Roll, Auto, Beak, Rush, etc.) in good condition out of personal attachment, but once they're gone, their robots are on borrowed time and sooner or later they'll stop functioning or will be dismantled by someone. Given than X only woke up (and thus the Reploids only started showing up) about 30 years after Light kicked the bucket, it's safe to say that Rock & friends were either recycled (because of the robot ban) or at the very least put in a museum with many other robot masters (like in MM7). Auto is somehow still alive in Dopple Town as of MMX3, if the Volt Catfish easter egg is considered canon, but not for long since Dopple Town is consumed by the Sigma virus.
