History

TV series

Season two

After T.W. Barker tricked Dr. Eggman into signing his robots and lair over to him, Eggman had Cubot install the Anti-allegiance Virus into the lair. This caused Eggman's robots to attack their current master, who happened to be Barker. With Barker now pressured by his own doom, Eggman convinced him to undo their deal so Barker could save himself. Eggman then shut down the Anti-allegiance Virus, giving him full control over his robots again.
