SA-55
From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki
SA-55, or Ergo, is the robot that appears in Sonic Unleashed as an assistant to Doctor Eggman. He usually points out Eggman's mistakes and often somewhat insults him because of them. He also constantly annoys Eggman with his non-stop talking. SA-55 is a very small and round robot with an ability to retract into a travel sized sphere and glowing red eyes. It's main function seems to be simply for relaying information to Dr. Eggman and making sure the processes of his plans are carried out correctly. His eye of efficiency may be what allows him to constantly criticize Eggman or inadvertently point out his flaws however. Despite this it is shown that he does care to see Eggman's succeed but doesn't skip out on the chance to be critical to the doctor and his feelings when he sees fit.

[edit] History
As of now Sonic Unleashed, is the only game SA-55 has made an appearance in. Whether or not he will return is unknown.
[edit] Sonic Unleashed
His main role throughout the game was simply following his function. He relayed to Dr. Eggman the information he needed to know regarding how his plan was being carried out and did the mechanical processes that were needed to continue it. He was first seen in a cutscene located in Mazuri where he ended up laughing at Dr. Eggman for being pegged in the face by a rock from a small child. He continued to act his usual critical and straight-forward way throughout the game up until the very end. In the final cutscene with Eggman he was seen being chased off into the sunrise by the angered Eggman after relaying to him how he had failed miserably and could begin anew.
