Tinker is the product of Devroom member Espiownage (Servbot #1061), who will go on to star alongside the Bright Bats. Additional details about the character from Espiownage:
"Tinker is a mischievous little ferret that the Bright Bats found while exploring ancient ruins, where Tinker had accidentally wandered inside out of his own curious nature. When he was found, he seemed like a normal ferret except for a strange belt with a reaverbot eye around his waist. Oddly enough, Tinker seems very protective of it when people even try to touch it. When the Bright Bats took him in, they couldn’t think of a name for him until Barret noticed the curious ferret would observe Grill as he made his inventions, one day seeing him try to create something himself out of the junk Pic had collected. Barret came up with the name Tinker due to the way he would play with the parts and his curiosity."
Congratulations, Espiownage! You can check out some of the developers comments at this report here. Further, please do check out the honorable mentions and runner-ups, and give them a round of applause for all their hard work.

That is all.
Jak and Daxter, anyone?
Umm... I really hope the Devroom knows what they're doing.
Let me be the first to say... WTF?!. That is to say, "What the ferret?!"
WHY?
Really? Seen MUCH better choices. Good god...lol.
Proof that Capcom does not look at all submissions. We had tons more better than that.
I guess I was completely off when I assumed that the BB's might actually have a BAT mascott. The stupid bat shaped silhouette across his eyes is just an attempt to force something that clearly doesn't work to sort of work? FAILrret !! :(
It looks like something from The Raccoons... except The Raccoons was better than this.
No offense to the original artist, but I do hope that there will be a redesign.
Nice batman symbol. Hope Capcom doesn't get sued.
:/
The incoming RAGE-postings are voided by the fact that the winning submissions ALWAYS go through a redesign ;P
So it doesn't look good now? Give it a month or something, this ISN'T the final draft and I'm sure some origin details will get tweaked as well.
I'm not that fond of it as is but I trust that it will be tuned to hit the right notes. Dancing moneys and LEGO-men are pretty f***ing bizarre in their own right anyway XP
As the owner of 5 ferrets, I'm OK with this.
I hear that weasel/ferret mascots are fairly popular right now.
It's great that the artist won, but I suspect that the above reason is why their design was chosen. :/
Not so bad, it will look great after a small redesign.
A pity the cat Diggs wasn't even mentioned. I digged that design.
I love him, he’s so darn CUTE! I bet he will look cuter when he appears in the game, I do like the clever bat symbol on his face, though I am suprised the new mascot was not a bat, but I love ferrets anyways!
Oh my god!! Just staring at that thing made me remind of this:

It fits perfect in the south park universe LOL.
I´d rather enjoy watching my "talking baseball BAT character" as a mascot than...this.
I like Tinker. He's pretty cool because he got a reaverbot belt around its hip and so cute when he's doing something interesting. I hope they'll redesign Tinker better.
Well done, Espiownage! Congrats!
Looks good to me.
Didn't see any of the other entries though.
hmm... not bad. here's to another conest for Legends 3.
