Quick Update — Sun 1 Feb 2026
Capcom has narrowed down the entries and picked the top 20 fan-made Robot Master designs for Mega Man: Dual Override. Voting is now live, so if you’ve been itching to help pick a suction-arm superstar, now’s your shot — but you’ll need a Capcom ID to cast your vote. Polling runs through 5 February 2026.
What the contest asked for
The challenge was delightfully specific: design a Robot Master that rocks a giant suction arm. Fans were given a template to work from and told to let their imaginations run wild — the result was a flood of quirky, imaginative, and occasionally weird submissions. The cream of the crop (20 designs) has been selected to move on to the next round.
How voting and selection work
Here’s the path from doodle to in-game cameo: entries closed on 1 January 2026, Capcom staff sifted through the submissions, and 20 designs were chosen to advance. From those, fans vote for their favorites to create a top six. After fan voting, Capcom will pick the ultimate winner — whose design will actually appear in the game. There’s also a little participation reward: anyone who votes gets a special social media icon to show off.
Prizes (short and sweet)
Grand Prize: One winner — their Robot Master design will be used in Mega Man: Dual Override. Excellence Awards: several entries earn recognition — winners’ names will appear in the game credits. Plus, voters get that collectible icon as a thank-you.
Release window and what’s next
Mega Man: Dual Override is slated for release in 2027 on Switch, Switch 2, and other platforms. In the meantime, Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch in March 2026 — a perfect appetizer while you wait to see which suction-arm champ wins.
Final notes
If you want to weigh in, make sure you’ve got a Capcom ID and cast your vote before the 5 February deadline. Whether you’re here for the techy suction-arm designs or just to see some delightful fan creativity, this contest is proof fans will never run out of wild ideas — and Capcom seems happy to let them stick around in the game.
