Egg Pawns in:
The Great Coffee Caper
It was a day like any other in Dr. Eggman's base: whirring machines, flickering screens, and the ceaseless hum of his grand schemes. Yet, in the heart of this chaos, a crisis loomed. Dr. Eggman, slouched in his ergonomic evil-chair, reached for his mug only to find... nothing.
"No coffee?!" the doctor bellowed, his voice echoing through the halls. Suddenly Sage appeared on a nearby monitor noticing the doctor's distress.
"Father," Sage said in her calm tone, "the coffee supply has indeed been depleted."
Eggman growled. "Unacceptable! How am I to devise ingenious plans without my morning brew?!" He spun toward the nearest squad of Egg Pawns standing at attention.
"YOU!" he barked, pointing a gloved finger at the group. "Your new mission: restore my coffee supply immediately! Failure is not an option!"
The Egg Pawns saluted in unison, the mechanical clang of their arms echoing. They quickly marched out with determination on they feet.

The robots arrived at the outskirts of the closest city under Restoration control. It was bustling with activity citizens all over the places, vendors selling wares and goign to day jobs and so on while Restoration fighters patrol the streets. The Egg Pawns huddled together in a corner, their heads clinking softly as they strategist.
Egg Pawns do not have means to communicate since they creator don't see fit to give them a voice modulator but they can still communicate using internal communications.
Egg Pawn 9777 send a short message to the others: "COFFEE PLAN PHASE 1: SCOUT". The others nodded enthusiastically.
They split up, each moving in a different direction to cover more ground and accomplish they objective more quickly.
Egg Pawn 1563 stumbled into a quaint café. The smell of fresh coffee overwhelmed its sensors, it pointed at a display of beans labeled "Roast of the Month."
The barista, unsure of the situation, asked. "Uh... can I help you?"
The Pawn whipped out a sign:
"THIS IS A ROBBERY."
Before the barista could react, the Pawn grabbed a bunch beans and dashed out, knocking over a display of biscotti in a pointless gesture of vandalism.
The Barista not sure what happened can only say one thing to reflect his feelings on the matter.
"What just happen?"
Egg Pawn 34999 decided to infiltrate, more like smahing the door, of a more upscale and closed coffee shop. It spotted a barrel labeled "Premium Arabica Reserve."
As it struggled to lift the barrel a Restoration Fighter spotted the commotion and enter the shop to investigate and could only watch baffled by the unusual sight. The Pawn froze before pulling out another sign:
"NOTHING TO SEE HERE."
Before he could use it's Wispon to destroy the badnik, Egg Pawn 34999 used a smoke bomb that he appropriate from one of the ninjas of the Egg Clan, more like taking without permission, and use it to make a dramatic escape. Unfortunate without the barrel for it was too heavy.
The final robot, Egg Pawn 9999, decided to instead braking in a shop to instead rob of a delivery truck that has some barrels unloaded, as it pry open the lid and carefully scooped the beans into its compartment, a child pointed and giggled.
"Look, Mommy! A funny robot!"
The Pawn held up a sign:
"I'M A LAMP."
The mother, confused, ushered her child away, allowing the Pawn to escape.
As the day become noon the authorities eventually had caught wind of the strange thefts. Cops alongside Restoration fighters chased the Egg Pawns through the city as they weaved through alleys, dove into trash cans, and disguised themselves with absurd hats pulled from hammerspace.
After several more escapades each more chaotic and absurd than the last, the Egg Pawns had accumulated an impressive stash of beans. They loaded everything onto a stolen delivery truck and sped toward the Egg City, chased by Restoration vehicles. Egg Pawn 9777 mounted the truck, holding a sign:
"LEAVE US BE!" while firing it's Eggzooka to chase off they pursuers.

After narrowly escaping the Restoration forces, the Egg Pawns regrouped and returned to Eggman's base, battered but victorious. They placed the stolen coffee beans in the supply room, arranging them neatly.
Dr. Eggman entered the room moments later. "Ah, my coffee!" he declared, blissfully unaware of the chaos his robots had caused and not even pay attention to them anymore. He not even thank them for all they hard work, like a true jerk.
As the doctor order Agent Stone to brewed his coffee, Sage appeared beside the Egg Pawns. "Well done," she said, her voice carrying a note of approval. "Your efforts have ensured Father's productivity for the foreseeable future."
The Egg Pawns clinked their heads together in triumph. For now, their master was satisfied, and they could return to their metallic ranks alongside dozens of other identical Egg Pawns, ready and willing to serve doctor's orders not matter how dangerous, absurd or nonsensical.
So these here is my omake, because Doctor Eggman is such eccentric guy that make sense his creations are nonsensical as well when leave to they own devices.
Also yes if this is declared cannon this absurd series of events happen in the background.
Also is my headcannon that since Egg Pawns lack voice box and are more smarter than your average badnik, but not much, they use signs to communicate to organics, like Willy Coyote does.
