During the special Mega Man: Dual Override stage presentation at Tokyo Game Show 2026, Capcom revealed a brand-new Robot Master: Jet Man!
The high-flying, transforming Robot Master was shown squaring off against Proto Man in a new trailer. Defeating Jet Man will earn players his Special Weapon, Jet Stinger.
Also teased at the end of the trailer is Mega Man using Astro Crush. According to producer Shingo Izumi, Astro Crush is a Custom Chip obtained by defeating Astro Man R. Returning Robot Masters will reward players with Custom Chips based on their classic Special Weapons.
This post will be updated as more information becomes available.
So excited about this! It also sounded like Astro Crush is going to be a Chip, so maybe all of the Robot Master Rs will have this available to use?
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw robot masters called Jet Man and Boat Man, I worried it would be a little corny because the names and past art style, but this is great. I have a feeling MM12 will sell well, helping MM thrive this time, hopefully, since they did say they plan to bring it back as a major IP, thus this time, selling well could very well help us see sequels in other MM main timeline series, unlike last time, hopefully.
ReplyDeleteHE LOOKS LIKE WINDMAN.EXE
ReplyDeleteHe looks really cool. I'd like to think he has the same technology that enables Rush to transform into Rush Coil, Jet, etc.

ReplyDeleteI love him! All that's missing is the Transformers noise. I needed a toy of him yesterday. :3
ReplyDeleteA lot better of a design than Twinkle Girl to me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this guy looks pretty cool.
DeleteMore bosses meaning more weapons meaning more customization! This is fantastic news for repeat playthroughs.
ReplyDeletemeaning more Star Force games, maybe Battle Network 7,8 and 9.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wicked!
ReplyDeleteThis makes yet another instance of an official Robot Master sharing the same name as one from the fangame, Mega Man Unlimited (with the first being Nitro Man, who was later renamed to "Trinitro Man"). It's quite an interesting coincidence. That being said, this game's Jet Man also reminds me of Aviator from Mighty No. 9.
ReplyDeleteNot just Mega Man Unlimited but also Rokko-Chan has a Jet Man too!
DeleteAh, right. I hadn't played that game in quite some time, so I completely forgot.
DeleteIf you want an even older example, look up a 2003 flash game called "Mega Man Next": This had a version of Jet Man that predates the Unlimited version along with a Pre-Megaman 9 Tornado Man & a Pre-Rockman 7 FC Bass. Trust me, You will be thankful you didn't play this game like I did in my early college years.
DeleteThis is a fantastic design! I like the overlap of the pilot cockpit being where a brain would be.
