E-121 Phi (φ) (ファイ Fai) is an Emerl-based robot made by Doctor Eggman. Dr. Eggman took Emerl's data and copied it as stated in Rouge's story mode. The Phi robots are powered by Chaos Emerald Shards, rather than whole Chaos Emeralds.
The only physical difference between Phi and Emerl is Phi's grey hue and brown eyes, as opposed to Emerl's yellow and blue. The Phi's ability to copy attacks is identical to that of Emerl, but since the ability is only powered by Chaos Emerald Shards, as a whole it is weaker than Emerl's. At first they don't have much vocabulary, repeating one word while speaking, such as "Located! Located!" But later, they're able to speak more fluently, such as "Captured! I will capture you! I will capture you for Dr. Eggman!"
Oddly enough, Phi is numbered as E-121, suggesting he was created before E-123 Omega. However, Sonic Battle takes place after Sonic Heroes, where Omega was introduced, as Rouge comments on Gamma and Omega looking similar. Why Eggman didn't use Phi until Sonic Battle is unknown.
[edit] Trivia
- Strangely, Phi is labeled as E-121 even though there are two letters in between Phi and Omega: Chi and Psi. This means he should be E-120.
