I kinda want to use Omega hanging around to gather data, and create a next generation model of badnik based on him. He's clearly effective, we just have to do a better job with programming.

Ragnite coating, maybe more lasers than explosives in the loadout, give it the ability to command lots of other badniks, maybe also a transformation to help in getting around...

We could call it, "Alpha". As mockery.
 
Huh, I was gonna say there already was an E-Series named Alpha, but turns out it goes ZERO, Beta, Gamma, etc. The good Doctor just skipped having an alpha, so yeah this would work from a pure mockery level.
Looking at ZERO's entry on the wiki, he's designated 'E-100' followed by the Roman letter 'Alpha'. It's rather odd that he's not named 'Alpha'...Then again, things begin with zero. So perhaps Eggman was going for thematic naming? I've got no clue.

What I do know is that E-100 'ZERO' is a persistent and tough Badnik. Not the strongest, but definitely the most single-minded.

Part of me wishes we had access to more of Eggman's records and designs for his various bots. A few more tweaks here and there, and some of these machines can fulfill multiple or niche purposes.

Yeah that's one of the reason we should cool it on the re-rolls.

Blueprints and personal gear!

Eggman has learned. He's grown! He now sees the possibility sown by his own genius! A new generation of badniks! We shall call it: the E-1 Million series! Or E-1M! And we shall begin with Alpha!

What do you mean by 'cool it on the re-rolls'?

Blueprints and personal gear IS a must...

Let's first focus on the E-2000. That model is most potent alongside Egg Hammers.

Bah! Mass production models are all well and good, but we need some commander types in here! I think Sage is the only person we have that can really command lots of troops at once.

I guess, technically, Orbot and Cubot as well, but I choose not to think about that too hard.
 
As I said I wouldn't mind the battle being interrupted and Metal having to book it.

We got something out from it already and would be a nice set up for a rival while Sonic is out of comission.

Also I just would like to see how much the fact that Metal was never abandoned on this timeline would screw with him.

Especially since well, if he hadn't had that change of heart with his 2.5 version he would have totally gone Metal Overlord too sooner or later.
 
For real though, I have been surprised you guys haven't gone for these before. It's basically advantage on every shot with the bonus that if both are good, both can hit.

...*Quick check* Actually yeah why haven't we done that?

Judging from how combat goes that would make our forces expontenially more powerful just to have a single one handy.
 
Eh priorities on other sides kinda sidetracked us.

Doesn't help we have been taking those free badniks we have gotten over the turns for granted too.

I say we put orbot and cubot coming turn for the badnik factory, pretty sure they actually get the success with assigned badniks.

If the signal is still out there coming turn we can do that again too with a hero unit.

Otherwise.

If it is not there we could get Isara to rebuilt Honey shop, she isn't publically associated with us and pretty sure even without bonus we get close to crit.

Or viceversa a hero unnit on the factory, while Orbot and cubot repair the shop.
 
From our current brain actions.

Hack Into Zavoks data bases through the Egg-net. DC Contested Brain roll against Zavok + Chuck.
Seems like Zavok has taken control of all my systems, having configured the badniks to recognize him as supreme leader! I could try and send a virus to the current base he uses through the Eggnet to possibly snag control of the badniks, or at the very least, put viruses to cause trouble for him.
Still, it's a risk, if this goes wrong, they could have the means to trace me... No matter, I must do it!
Reward. Managed to hack into Zavok's database, unlocks options of how to debuff him, possibility to take control of badniks back to Eggman
WARNING: FAILING ROLL MIGHT REVEAL ZAVOK EGGMAN GIVE AWAY EGGMAN'S HIDDEN BASE LOCATION
Note: This action lowers the DC of Zavok's Base Raid

Make A Fake Chaos Emerald DC:100
You have to admit that with so many more interested parties after the emeralds, you may need a way to keep anyone interested in *your* emerald off the trail. Luckily the fox boy made such a tool already and your genius will only further refine it!
Reward: You make a fake Chaos Emerald. It looks and feels almost exactly identical to a real one but when analyzed or used to power a machine or mystic construct will actively sabotage the process. It can be a source of Chaos energy for Chaos casting at a -20 penalty.

Upgrade The Badniks To Ring Power: DC:60
Honestly the main reason I've never done this before is that the blasted hedgehog destroyed enough of my badniks without them having the rings he collected each time we came to blows. With him gone, this is much more viable.
Reward: Badniks can now be created with Ring Power, decreasing Metal cost and increasing their power but using Rings which aren't unlimited.

Create Ring Retrieval Units DC:50
If I am going to be switching to Ring power over chaos drives or flicky engines, I will need a steady supply of them, which is difficult considering they appear hither and yon. A specialty badnik will need to be made to collect them.
Reward: Create the Ring Tosser badniks, small non-combatant badniks designed to retrieve rings from all over the Green Hill Zone providing you a steady supply of rings.

Further Research Cassia's Disease DC140
I now step beyond the research of my grandfather and into the unknown beyond. I have scans of Shadow as he was to somehow carry the cure for Maria, I have all of the scans of how the disease progresses in Cassia, and I have my own brilliant mind. This disease will be conquered by a Robotnik in the name of not only the Eggman empire, but in the name of the two Robotniks lives it consumed and doomed. The might of my mind will not allow this thing to stand, not ever again.
Reward: A cure is created. This cure will be 100% effective, easily distributable, and work in a matter of hours. Cassia is cured of her disease and is added to Clove's character sheet, becoming The Pronghorn heroball. Pronghorns will gain MASSIVE boosts in loyalty. Choice

Study the lance: DC 130
This lance seems to be made of ragnite, same as the one you obtained In the Camps, but seems too different, the purity and concentration is beyond anything seen before. You need to do a full research of this.
Reward: full understanding of the Lance composition, o tío s to refine ragnite on the same level,???

Brains Research Humanoid Androids DC100
You've put some thought into infiltration style badniks before, but if you're going to make a truly humanoid body for your daughter you need to understand this stuff inside and out. A trifle for a mind as brilliant as yours honestly, but nothing less than the best!
Reward: Unlock action to make a humanoid android body for Sage, bonus to spotting robots faking at being human.

Study the Zeti Biology DC: 130
The Zeti, as irritating as they are, are fascinating creatures, and great counters to anything you can make with their innate technopathy. That just means you have to work extra hard to unlock how to use it to your advantage.
Reward: Gain an understanding of Zeti Biology from tests on Zeena. Gain the ability to make counters to their innate technopathy.

Create a Ragnite Radar DC 100
Ragnite has proved an invaluable resource so far. However, you don't have the time nor care to go blindly groping for it all the time. A more precise means of discovery is necessary. Rewards: Create a Radar that can pinpoint where Ragnite is, making finding it far easier.

Create Your Own Ragnite Based Healing Kits DC: 50
You have to admit, you and your minions have... Sustained more damage than you would have liked. But apparently, Ragnite can be used as a healing source on top of everything else. What a fine material! Perfect for some quick patching up after that foolish sniper's failed assassination attempt.
Reward: Eggman builds kits that can be used for quick healing while on Adventures.

Brains Study Imperial Weaponry DC: 90
Much of The Empire's weaponry is based off of much simpler technological understandings and then bolstered by the used of ragnite. It is doubtful there is anything they could possible know that could be of benefit to you, but better to know what foolishness they use than not.

Reward: Eggman gains an understanding of Imperial Weaponry and their tech base. Gain a bonus for any sabotage efforts and ragnite research.

Find a Way to Neutralize Ragnite DC: 140
If you have Ragnite, and the Empire has Ragnite, then it's really just a matter of luck who can more successfully use it. You do not deal in pure luck if you can avoid it. Maybe you can discover exactly how to gain an invaluable advantage...
Reward: Eggman learns how to neutralize Ragnite, reducing or even completely removing its effects when used against him.

Study "Smart" AI
DC: 250
Your robots always have a varying degree of intelligence because it is much easier to just command them to do something and them understand then you personally programming every task into their little heads, but you admit, some of them are more intelligent than others through natural development in their programming. None of them hold a candal to Sage and her development however. Your daughter grew into a person all her own in what feels like the blink of an eye...

But the point of this is you could attempt to study exactly how that happened with a mind for possibly replicating the process or at least understanding it better.

Reward: Eggman understands and can potentially replicate Smart AI like Sage. A choice.
From our current choices.

Hack into the eggnet is a double edge, while we will take away chuck, it doesn't mean the red guy will be alone to counter the thing.

For as much as it is worth he could put someone else like his master on this thing to counter us.

The make the fake emerald depends on how things will go for rival reports.

Ring power and ring retrieval I feel we need to take first the other ring related options to make it worthwhile.

Cassia disease research not only give us an achivement, but also a choice we have been curious for a while now, still that +5 to biology rolls could come in handy for studying the green lady.

The lance study is something we need to do sooner or later, without counting that we outright get an upgrade to any ragnatite construct we make which could come in handy for the other ragnatite options.

The humanoid androids, tbh can be put on the backburner at the moment.

Biology honestly may be a priority depending on how the red guy goes to get back his troops, we may not have much time to study them and create counters.

The rest of ragnatite options tbh would be good once we actually get into fights with the empire.

... You know I wonder why we didn't contest territory with the empire considering their biggest beat stick is out of the game.

Smart AI is a long term project and something we will need to study later considering we are no way in hell passing that inital DC unless we get super lucky with a nat 100.
