Rereading my hippo omake inspired me to actually name them finally. How does Hipnapper sound to you guys?

...on second thought, that sounds like someone who steals people's bones. Might need some adjustment, like the design itself in the omake...
 
[X] Current Badniks your creator really is looking to remodle soon and it shows, the line up of active Badniks is fairly small, but you could improve them to get more quality even with the smaller numbers. (Upgrade one of the Sonic Adventure 1 Era Badniks).
-[X] Egg Pawn
[X] Make a powerful individual killer robot.
-[x] Keep improving Mecha Sonic
 
Mecha Manufacture​

The robotic creation known as 'Mecha Sonic' could not recall how long it had been since he had been left in one of Doctor Robotniks testing labs after his failure to destroy the blasted hedgehog by the name of 'Sonic', he was thankfully repaired and shelved till the Doctor would see fit too use him again.

He never did....

For so long Mecha Sonic had been waiting, not rusting but instead biding his time for the vain hope the Doctor would see fit too use him again, even if just for a brief mission.

But alas it was not too be, instead he had been replaced by another, this 'Metal Sonic', apparently a superior version of him crafted too replace him as the hedgehogs killer. Mecha Sonic too be forgotten and left alone in the laboratory.

At least, till she appeared, his Goddess. The one dubbed EGG BRAIN by the good Doctor, she had seen fit too use him again. Taking him in too a site far away from any other labs where his body was to be placed through repeated Augmentations, his Senses improved as his body was rebuilt too be faster and even allow him too outpace the blasted Hedgehog for bits at a time.

Light Drive, they had dubbed it, fitting name for such a Swift power that allowed them to outpace their most hated enemy.

According to his Goddess, the good Doctor has disappeared, replaced by an imposter using his identity too control the Eggman Empire. Such an insult was not too stand, which is why the marvelous EGG BRAIN required his aid. He was too be her key too defeating the imposter when she was ready to confront him.

As she kept throwing endless potential ideas too improve him, the creation known as Mecha Sonic did the best equivalent they could to a smile as they were equipped with every deadly tool known to man.

Claws, missiles, turrets, all that could be strapped on without lowering their speed or balance, armour and body enhanced to be near the Echidna who worked with his blasted rival.

While his real nemesis was the Imposter using Doctor Eggmans form, the blue rodent could make for excellent target practice when the time came.

His body now reborn as the strongest of the Robo-Sonic series, ready too crush all that remained in his path....
 
Nice one, radio. (Still hitting my pet peeve, but we've been over that already so I'll just leave it at that.) Makes me want to write something myself; too bad I don't know what to write about right now.

Could write one about Metals thoughts on EGG BRAIN, given how he might have an idea of what she is planning or arrogant enough to think his plan is full proof.
 
Prologue to the E.G.G.M.A.N., Part 1​

"Well, he's really done it this time."

The President of the United Federation was quite unnerved, sitting at his office with hands clenched, an annoyed expression stuck upon his face. The monitor before him showed a video of a plump, mustached man in a lab coat, furiously speaking in front of a crowd. With a holier-than-thou expression upon his face, the man then torn down a small document, – a Citizen ID of the United Federation, that is, – into tiny pieces.

"You've watched the video four times already, Mr. President, sir," stated General Towers, Commander-in-chief of the Guardian Unit of Nations. "It's not going to change, no matter how many times you look at it."

"I'm just trying to grasp the full depth of this unfortunate scandal," was the other man's reply.

This "Robotnikgate" was going to cause him the next elections, the President just knew it. Brutal repressions against scientists and their families, blatant disregard of human rights, executions – everything that the democratic United Federation was supposed to stand against, was revealed to be part of its own bloody political games for decades. Decades that he had nothing to do with! But it just so happened that the then-president from all those years ago came from the ranks of the same political party, which practically guaranteed that the comparisons would be made, and the opposition would cry for "unbiased investigations". Might as well rebrand the party, but that might result in even more votes lost due to confused or undecided voters. Was there any way out of it?

Commander Towers stayed calm, "I wouldn't say the situation is that bad for the President's Office, sir. GUN's reputation is, admittedly, going down the drain, and deservedly so, to be frank with you. I was there at Space Colony ARK during the shut down, and that level of brutality on behalf of the military simply can't be justified."

"Yes, but nobody can really do anything against the GUN considering its power, can't they?" the POTUF asked, "Even if the old generals from decades ago are dug up for a trial, it won't affect the entire military all that much. Not so easy for us politicians."

Towers smirked, "Can't say I agree, Mr. President. I already expect to see the bills on military misconduct, and then the cutting of finances by the Congress. Robotnik's ravings made certain of it."

That caught the President's attention, his face now more angry than annoyed. "How exactly did Ivo Robotnik get access to that kind of information? I was informed that his security clearance was deliberately kept very… limited."

The GUN Commander just shrugged, "Leaks happen. Friends at work, lost notes and tidbits, it's always a risk. I, for one, have always advised to get rid of Ivo. In fact, I advised that to you and your predecessor both. He has never been trustworthy, and not just on behalf of being a Robotnik. To him, science has always been a treatment to megalomania, something to vent his obsessions with power and control into, or so our staff psychologists said. The man should have been fired years ago."

"Really now!?" POTUF yelled in desperation, "Why, I remember you saying that Dr. Robotnik is the Federation's and the military's greatest scientist!"

"I won't deny those words. But, great or not, he has always been a security risk. In fact, I have already given orders to run diagnostics on all the software and hardware we still have in use that the doctor has created or worked upon. If the real Ivo's hatred for the Federation is half as strong as this 'offended scientist's' that he played out before the crowd… He might have left some surprises in store before slamming the door and leaving GUN. Considering how much of our current equipment is Robotnik tech, we can expect something like…"

Suddenly, the two men heard a buzzing sound along with sparks of electricity, before the lightning in the White House went out completely, leaving the President and the Commander in pitch black darkness.

"Something like this!" Towers ended his thought, now about as annoyed as his superior, "I have to give it to Ivo, the man knows his tech, and the specific viruses that can damage it."

The President sighed deeply, broken by the sudden outburst even further. "It's all downhill from here…"

General Towers was already barking orders on the radio, "Where is that damn engineer team!? I want power restored at once, computers checked and viruses traced and researched! What? No! We need to reverse-engineer the viruses, you dolts… For when we need to infect Robotnik's tech ourselves, what's so hard to understand..?"

Meanwhile the President remained seated, elbows on the table, palms covering his face in desperation. Ivo Robotnik, the definitive "science guy" for an entire generation, a media personality, and a respected figure in the scientific community proper, a captain of industry, and prime monopolist of whole sectors of economy has not only renounced his U.F. citizenship, but revealed a huge set of documents on the Space Colony ARK shutdown. Plus, all the relevant parts of the federal cover-up: imprisonments, executions, bribes and fear tactics. A lesser man, a random bureaucrat, or an agent gone rogue would have never made such a huge splash in the water, but Robotnik had power and popularity. Already his message spread far beyond the borders of the Federation, with foreign leaders being "deeply concerned" and "appalled" with decades-old crimes. It was probably a thing of pride for them, too, to chastise the world's greatest superpower and the "shining light of democracy", to showcase the Federation's hypocrisy. That didn't mean they would act any better themselves, of course. On the contrary, such a leak of brutality would inspire even more human rights violations across the globe, all pardoned with pathetic "whataboutism": as if the United Federation's past misdeeds somehow justified all the warlords and dictators of the planet in their cruelty. The world was a mess, and Robotnik's words have plunged them all even further into discord. All it took to destroy the United Federation's political leadership was a harsh speech from one man with an infallible reputation.

"Reputation… That's it!" the President beamed, "Nobody is truly infallible, not even Ivo Robotnik. I want our spies on his case as soon as possible."

"I've already taken the liberty to wake up the spooks prior to our meeting, sir. Should the power be fixed quickly, we'll be getting a coded transmission—" Towers was about to finish his prediction when the power got back on, unexpected light blinding the too men "—sometime around now, Mr. President."

Indeed, they got the transmission in a few minutes, and, as the decoding machine was doing its work, the President thought on just how resourceful, yet unpredictable and independent the GUN Commander has been lately. The man was a professional, but the United Federation leader felt that his words about Robotnik's megalomania were also internalized, at least on some level – too often had General Towers went "ahead" of official orders from the POTUF when it came to the matters of security and reconnaissance. While the President doubted that Towers had it in him to become a military dictator, he was almost afraid to imagine how ruthless the GUN Commander would be in an actual conflict. Hopefully, there'd be no wars under his presidency, so that he'd never have to see this side of the gruff general in action. The man in question was scrupulously reviewing the decrypted notes, paying no attention to the other man's pondering gaze.

"We could always just reveal the truth about the whole incident," the President finally suggested, now joining Towers in reviewing the transcript provided by intelligence agents, "I can see that Doctor Robotnik has evaded revealing the subject of what exactly was his grandfather researching before the station shutdown in his speech. After all, if the populace knew about all of Gerald's WMDs that are quarantined there…"

"Let it all stay classified!" Towers roughly interrupted his superior. "Never a good idea to give in to the leakers and reveal more than needed. Yes, it could hurt Robotnik's narrative of an innocent scientist murdered by the evil military, but revealing just how many dangerous projects we had been working on back then will strike back like a boomerang, hurting the budget, the security, everything!"

The President sighed, "Well, we have to do something. If not fully control the narrative, then at least discredit Robotnik on a more personal level. It's Politics 101: if a big, important scandal is about to erupt and consume you whole, draw attention from it with a small, but particularly ugly one. Now, I could go on a three-week vacation at a golf resort while the investigation is underway, but, really, my reputation could use a break. Anything on Ivo?"

Towers furrowed his brows, "Just like you said, Mr. President, nobody is infallible. It's not much, nothing but a few minor articles in science newspapers from a month ago, but if we get in touch with some big media hack and get them to work on it, this could be big. No matter how much these bleeding heart activists hate the government, I can't see them continuing to side with a scientist that revels in animal cruelty."

"What!?" the President felt his eyes leave their orbits. "This is perfect! What the heck happened, did he kick a puppy into a reactor or something?"

The GUN Commander smirked, "Metaphorically speaking. You see, last month, in the fine land of Spagonia, there was a conference…"

...I hate this feeling; feels like what I want to write is right there, but I can't quite figure out what it is. An infuriating combination of inspiration and writer's block, if I had to describe it.

How about an omake of a sapient badnik, I.E. a Mother Wyvern who treats her Mini Wyverns like they're her children, or an Egg Bunion that enjoys working in the forest?

Maybe write it as kind of a slice of life style omake?

"Sonic, I'm finally getting a signal from Amy!" Tails informed his idol from the GUN Tornado.

"That's great news, Tails! Where is she?" Sonic enthused; for some reason, Amy had disappeared in the wake of the Chaos incident, and had not been seen since.

"Gimme a minute to triangulate, and... Those ruins on West Side Island," Tails answered.

"West Side Island? Been a while since we've been there," Sonic mused. "Well, let's go pick her up, okay buddy?"

--------

"Strange, I don't see her anywhere..." Sonic muttered, wading through one of the many pools flooding the ruins.

"Huh... Let's see if my scanner can- wait, there's a badnik here!"

"Where?!"

"S-s-szzxsonikkkzzt..." a distorted voice, barely recognizable as Amy's, buzzed from above.

"Wha- Amy?! Where-" Sonic rapidly turned to look at the source of the voice, only to freeze in horror when it came into view.

It was recognizably Amy... just barely. It had her eye (the left one, at least), and whoever had held her captive had clearly taken pains to ensure she would be recognizable to those who knew her, but the changes... she seemed more robot than hedgehog now.

Worse, she seemed to control her voice, and nothing else, as she begged, "P-pleazzxe... h-help... mmmeee..."

"W-wha... what has he done...?!" Tails murmured, almost as stunned as Sonic.

"H-hurtsszzz... Help..." Amy managed as her body jumped from the rubble, the two heroes shocked into leaping away just as her fist crashed down into the water where they had stood.

No warm fuzzies for you guys; instead you get a brief snippet of Sonic and Tails running into a heavily cyborg'd Amy a la Rusty Rose from Prime. And in case anyone can't place where they are from the description: Aquatic Ruins Zone from Sonic 2.

...gonna be honest this feels a lot better written than the omake I did on a similar concept, where Amy was used to power a super badnik instead.
 
Cat Outta Hell

Blaze scowled a little bit harder than usual as she propelled herself forward with her flames, small bursts from her feet keeping her skimming just above the ground to minimize friction. Those two doctors had stolen the Sol Emeralds again, and she needed to retrieve them before-

A metallic arm, painted purple, suddenly thrust itself into her path, knocking her for a loop as she failed to react in time due to being far too focused on pursuing the Eggmen.

As she rubbed her neck where she had been struck, coughing, she staggered to her feet, glaring back at the machine that had dared to interrupt her mission.

A machine that bore a parody of her own face. No wonder Sonic complained so vehemently about his own doppelgangers.

Now recovered, Blaze wreathed herself in flames in preparation for battle, only to raise an eyebrow as Robo-Blaze (for lack of anything else to call her) opened up vents across her body in order to do the same.

Makes sense, she thought to herself before leaping forward, pirouetting to-

-crash straight into a simple, no-nonsense roundhouse kick. Ow.

Okay, maybe there's more than one reason Sonic hates these things, she amended as she rolled away from a flaming uppercut.

Random Metal Blaze omake, featuring her ambushing- who else- the original Blaze. Short, so I don't expect many points for it, but, once again, sometimes inspiration strikes. Unfortunately, I have little-to-no faith in my ability to write fight scenes, so the omake ends here.
 
...got two more omakes I'd like to write, but inspiration isn't agreeing on one and the other I don't know enough to even begin to write, so I'll just post them here as prompts.

1: Various bee-based badniks begging for a boss bee, because they're bees (and wasps, and hornets, and... well, close enough) and thus need a queen to serve. Sure, Eggman's great, but he's not a bee, so it's not the same.
2: All-Pawn sports league(s). Possibly with a mention of the Egg Brain arming particularly successful Pawns to exploit their skills, and/or setting the whole thing up to distract them from their erratic behavior.

hmm, well I also had an idea for an omake about the robot fight club idea we had awhile back. the whole idea was to have people not know it was an eggman operation and bet on fights between the robots, but somebody mentioned letting people enter robots they'd made as contestants so maybe it could be about Tails entering a robot into it. then again Tails and Sonic tend to treat robots like people so they probably wouldn't be into that.
 
You Know The BGM For This One

Tails, Knuckles, and Amy trudged through a swamp, desperately trying not to sink into the muck- or worse, trip into it.

"I hate this place... It's wet, it stinks, and-" Amy muttered before breaking off, gagging.

"Sorry, Amy, but there've been a lot of badnik sightings here for some reason, and we need to find out what Eggman's after," Tails apologized.

He wished he could take the Tornado so he wouldn't have to walk in the gunk he was standing in (he didn't care to examine it too closely), but that very gunk would ruin the machinery if it got into the joints, and the Tornado itself was most likely heavy enough it'd just sink into it to the point of needing heavy excavation equipment to salvage; not a pleasant way to go.

"Aaagh, I can't TAKE this anymore! I'm going home!" Amy complained before turning and dashing off, using sheer speed to avoid sinking (a trick she had learned from her crush).

Knuckles hesitated, looking between Tails and the reeking wake Amy had left, before Tails encouraged, "Go on, I can take care of myself. We're almost done for the day anyway."

"...Alright, but make it quick, y'hear?" Knuckles conceded before jumping after Amy, gliding and climbing the bedraggled trees to avoid the unspeakable substances below.

"Just one more spot to check..." Tails muttered to himself. He really wished the humidity didn't interfere with the equipment he did manage to bring so much...

--------

"Crocognash," the Egg Brain messaged the crocodilian badnik guarding the swamp. "The fox is approaching your position. Stand by to attack."

"Why do you keep calling me that? I'm an alligator!" Crocognash complained.

"I am aware of that. However, the generic term for all species of that order is 'crocodilian' so I do not care," the Brain retorted.

"...Guess I can't argue with that," Crocognash conceded. "Oh, here he comes. I love this part...!"

The Jaws theme most certainly did not play out loud (external speakers were a hindrance to an ambusher), though this did not prevent Crocognash from playing it in his processor as he inched carefully towards Tails.

Remembered that idea for a stealth team we were talking about before, which reminded me of the alligator ambusher idea, which, in turn, inspired this omake. At least he loves his job, right?

Also, fun fact: I essentially wrote this omake backwards. Yes, I started with the Jaws thing and then worked backwards to justify it.

Oh Wheel Gator, yeah he definitely works as either a boss Badnik or a member of our new team, I'm guessing he'll be a power type with our ninja either being speed of flight.

I can definitely see the Ninja being Speed, but IDK if she has flight yet, so I wouldn't put her in that role. Instead, I would slot the Hey Ho in there.

Hey Ho, on a stealth team? No, Metal Rouge works better for that.

Besides, Hey Ho already has a team, and he hasn't disappointed us to the point of needing replacement yet (in fact he's actually been quite successful).

Oh this is for a stealth team then? Yeah I agree that Hey ho wouldn't be good for stealth except as a distraction. Maybe we could arm one of the flappers with quiet wings and little claws so they can fly off with anything the team steals. A stun gun would be good for sneaking up on guards as well, or if one of the others gets caught.
 
So besides the croc, any other ideas for teammates for Kunoichi, cause we definitely need a flying type for it.

Maybe just a regular unit, cause I doubt it can do much as a Commander/boss unit.
