Mega Man Legends 3's seventh and final Devroom event ran from 2011/06/02 to 2011/06/23, seeking designs for a mascot character to accompany the Bright Bats—something along the lines of Data and the Servbots. Many designs received honorable mentions, but of course the judges were looking for only one winner from the 450+ entries.

Tinker, by Espiownage

Eguchi's Comments:
What I love about this design is that, even though he's got that nasty glare and wicked smile, he's still just a little guy that you just can't stay mad at. And not just in terms of his interactions with the Bright Bats, but also with Data and the servbots, it was easy to imagine lots of funny scenes. It seems like the creator deliberated over whether to make Tinker a real creature or a robot, but I think he nailed the Legends style right on the head by giving the character just a bit of a robotic taste.

Ishihara's Comments:
That wicked facial expression provides a good contrast with Data and the servbots.


Mega Man Legends 3 was cancelled a mere two weeks after this event's winner was announced, leaving little-to-no time for the dev team to share their edited take on the design.
