	Games - Doctor Eggman

In the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Doctor "Eggman" Robotnik (formerly Doctor Ivo Robotnik) is the archnemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog. He has an IQ of 300 and is comically obese, weighing in at 281.6 lbs. His age is uncertain, but he is possibly in his late 40s or early 50s. His character designer is Naoto Ohshima.

Doctor Eggman is the grandson of Professor Gerald Robotnik, and cousin of Maria Robotnik. He is an evil genius whose goal is to take over the world. Originally this was by imprisoning the population inside robots to serve his every whim, but now he has a tendency to build the biggest, strongest weapon he can think of, call it his most destructive weapon ever, and threaten nations with it. His plans have always failed however, due to Sonic the Hedgehog.

Personality and Main Details

Despite his intelligence, Eggman is quite immature, throwing temper tantrums and breaking things when he loses. He also seems to be very egotistical; a vast number of his weapons are built in his likeness, and his production logo is a crude depiction of his own face.

He has designed and built several large airships, such as the Egg Carrier and a space station called the Death Egg. He has also designed and built countless robots, a number of which resemble either himself or his longtime rival, Sonic. It was suggested in the older Sonic the Hedgehog games that he built his creations individually by hand - however, since adopting a 'quantity over quality' theme regarding his creations since Sonic Heroes, it is assumed that his robot armies are built automatically or mass-produced to his own designs, leaving himself free to create larger, more impressive creations.

Although Eggman's mental stability is questionable, he's quite willing to help save the world from threats greater than himself, but possibly only because he won't be able to take it over if its destroyed. According to the Sonic Heroes booklet, he is "a romanticist, feminist, and self-professed gentleman" (though, as the booklet also mentions, this is usually very hard to see through his evil schemes).

In appearance he is obese, possessing an egg-shaped body. Despite this, he is actually somewhat athletic - in the early Sonic games he was fast enough to elude Sonic over short distances. In the games he is portrayed with long spindly arms and legs, but in other media he has shorter, stumpier limbs. He tends to wear combinations of red, black and yellow. His most most instantly recognizable feature is his huge moustache, the color being either ginger or brown depending on the depiction.

In most video games, the main villain is the final boss fought by the player. Eggman, in contrast, appears as the boss of almost every level in most of the Sonic games, in a different machine each time.

Creations

Eggman's Mobile

As the vastness of Dr. Eggman's mechanical empire requires omnipresence to maintain a tight control, Eggman's Mobile (also known as the Eggmobile in the Sonic Adventure Sound Test, or the Egg-O-Matic in comics and cartoons) allows the doctor to cruise around his factories in a speedy fashion. The small hovering craft has a very distinct egg-like shape with a small circular lamp on the front, and can be fitted with a seemingly endless amount of gadgetry. Not only does the doctor use it as his mode of transportation but also as the cockpit of even larger doomsday devices. When these are destroyed, Eggman and his mobile will inevitably emerge unscathed from the fires.

Badniks

:Main article: Badniks The helpless animals that inhabit the islands of Sonic's world are usually the first to fall victim to Dr. Eggman diabolical schemes, as the evil doctor will gather them in large droves to be transformed into his loyal worker drones.

Egg robots

The doctor's Egg-shaped robots have evolved throughout the series, first appearing in Sonic & Knuckles as the simple but numerous Egg-Bots or Egg-Robos. Soon after, Eggman followed up with more lethal incarnations that could think for themselves — the E-Series. Notable E-Series robots include E-101 Beta, E-102 Gamma, E-103 Delta, E-104 Epsilon, E-105 Zeta, E-121 Phi and E-123 Omega.
