Robo-Robotnik v1.0,[1] more commonly referred to as Robo-Robotnik,[2] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is an alternate reality version of Dr. Ivo Robotnik originating from the home universe of Cyborg Sonic. He was defeated by the combined efforts of numerous Sonics across the multiverse.

Appearance[]

Robo-Robotnik v1.0 looks the same as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, except that his entire body is dark blue or black.[2]

History[]

In his universe, Robotnik transformed the Freedom Fighters into cyborgs. The plan backfired since their Cyborg parts made them stronger. With their new enhanced strength, the Freedom Fighters marched into Robotropolis to defeat him. In a last-ditch effort to save himself, Robotnik roboticized himself, becoming Robo-Robotnik. He wiped out the resistance and forced Cyborg Sonic to flee from his native zone to seek help from other Zones. Robo-Robotnik soon dispatched a small army of his Shadow SWATbots to Mobius Prime to destroy all the various Sonics, who had gathered there to discuss how to deal with Robo-Robotnik. However, Robotnik Prime simply dispatched his own SWATbots and destroyed the Shadowbot army, which forced Robo-Robotnik to make a strategic withdrawal.[2]

Robo Robotnik departs

Robo-Robotnik's head being carried away by Cyborg Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #19.

As Robotnik Prime speculated, Robo-Robotnik then went after the alien Giant Hand, which was hidden in the Neutral Zone. Robo-Robotnik hired the only Sonic from the multiverse not working with Sonic Prime, Evil Sonic, to retrieve the Giant Hand so could activate the Giant Borg. Evil Sonic managed to retrieve the hand before the other Sonics could, and Robo-Robotnik teleported it to his base. He activated the Giant Hand and it transformed into the Giant Borg around Robo-Robotnik. He then set out attacking all the various Sonics, but ultimately the Giant Borg was destroyed when every Sonic in the multiverse joined forces and shred it to pieces. Robo-Robotnik was left dismembered from this, his robotic head malfunctioning. His head was then hastily brought back to his home zone by Cyborg Sonic.[2]

Powers and abilities[]

Robo-Robotnik largely possesses the same abilities as his Prime counterpart.

Trivia[]

  • There has been arguments that the version of Robo-Robotnik that debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog #22 is the same Robo-Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog #19. Former writer Ken Penders who wrote both stories confirmed on his website the two were the same person.[3] Additionally Sonic the Hedgehog #75 firmly established that the two were the same, which was solidified by Eggman's Data File from Sonic the Hedgehog #108. Despite this, current head writer Ian Flynn decided to retcon this and made the Robo-Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog #22 separate from the one in Sonic the Hedgehog #19. This is due to the fact that the two have minor differences in their histories and both Robotnik's failed to recognize one another in Sonic the Hedgehog #22. Despite what has been established in the comics, Ian Flynn's position that there are two Robo-Robotniks, which was intended to be addressed in Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia but was cut for space.[4] This decision was shown early on the Official Blogs[1][5] as well as in later data files.
