Twinkle Girl has been revealed, filling in one of these seven silhouettes! And the new Jet Stinger weapon must surely come from the one with the pointy head/helmet that's facing to the left. Is that Jet Man? What other revised predictions do you now have after Capcom's Gamescom reveals? #MegaManDO

This take on the original Mega Man stage select screen was a fun spread to put together, though in hindsight I wish I had given each robot master their own dedicated spread/section. There's always Mega Man 2 to fix that.
