Decoe and Bocoe
From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki

Decoe (デコー Dekoo) and Bocoe (ボコー Bokoo) are characters from Sonic X. They are Dr. Eggman's personal humanoid assistant robots. Decoe is tall, slim, gold-colored and reddish-pink-eyed, while Bocoe is short, stubby, silver and blue-eyed. They are almost constantly seen with Eggman, helping him pilot his machinery among other things. The two do not have much in the way of personalities, but are somewhat clumsy and stupid, similar to Scratch and Grounder from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sleet and Dingo from Sonic Underground in the sense that they only provide comic relief. Decoe is 198 cm (6 ft 6 in) tall and weighs 200 kg (440.9 lbs),[1] while Bocoe is 145 cm (4 ft 9 in) tall and weighs 220 kg (485 lbs).[2]
Both tend to constantly reflect on their constant failures and both tend to insult Dr. Eggman behind his back and are constantly irritated by Bokkun. In one episode when Eggman's base is attacked, they mistake Eggman for an enemy and try to shoot him down.
Decoe and Bocoe can also "combine" in various ways. The first one, where Bocoe sits on top of Decoe, gives them the ability to summon Bokkun via a light signal sent from Decoe's eyes (seen in Episode 49). The second one is somewhat more useful in combat, as they combine into a rocket launcher (seen in Episode 75). They also have a common dream that they can combine into a powerful battle robot, but it is merely a fantasy (seen in Episode 48).
In the Japanese version of Sonic X, Decoe is voiced by Ken Yamaguchi, while his American voice actor is Andrew Rannells. Bocoe's Japanese and English voices are provided by Bin Shimada and Darren Dunstan.
[edit] Trivia
