Hey Miyabi, in Rockman Maniax, have any information (Designs by ariga) about the Robot Masters from Rockman and Forte?

Sadly, no. The character sheet pages only contain Robot Masters from 1-9 (including Oil and Time), Stardroids, Rockman Killers, Battle and Chase, Genesis Unit and early X Megamission characters. 

As far as I can tell, giving it a quick skim again, the only instance in Maniax of Rockman and Forte characters is the back color reprint of the art of Dynamo and Burner he did, originally for the Rockman 10 Years History Book:

R20/+5 have his original concepts for the two, both in color magazine format and lineart. Sorry for the fade, it’s not in a great place by the spine to get all of Dynamo’s lineart, though:

Can’t say I recall anything else in his other published books, though. It’s just any official art from the game itself, and whatever else he’s posted online over the years, like this:

It’s hard sometimes, when I have so many different resources to pull from, to figure out what I should scan and share. It’s worse when you feel like it’s nothing new and something everyone has seen, because you’ve seen it enough yourself. I always try to tread carefully with the doujin/fanbook samples, too, as to not burn any bridges with the Eastern side of the fanbase. Not that I really have any contacts or have had complaints about it, but out of courtesy/respect for those who do publish their works.

So I know I haven’t had too many new scans up lately, just rackin’ my brain to figure out what’s relevant and worth sampling. Or it’s just a sign from above that I need to spend a chunk of my freetime drawing and creating again, to feel like I’m providing semi-original content.
