When Capcom lifted the lid on Mega Man: Dual Override at the end of last year, it also announced a Robot Master Design Contest.

This competition asked fans to submit a unique design for a Robot Master with a “giant suction arm” and provided an existing template to work off. As it’s now past 1st January 2026, this contest has officially concluded.

Capcom has followed this up with an update, thanking fans for their “wonderful” submissions, and mentioning how staff will now go over the entries, select 20 designs to progress to the next round of voting, and then fans will vote in their “top 6” through the CAPCOM ID system.

This will get underway later this month, and there’ll even be a voting participation reward in the form of a special icon.

After the top six are selected, Capcom will pick the best design, and this design will be used in Mega Man: Dual Override.

As of January 1 at 11:59PM PT, the Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Design Contest has concluded.

Thank you to everyone that submitted their wonderful #MegaManDO designs! Capcom staff will now go over the entries and select 20 designs to move on to the next round of voting.

Fans will be able to vote for the top 6 entries with their CAPCOM ID starting on January 30, 2026, and you’ll get a special social media icon for your participation.
