Dr. Robotnik (BearfootTruck's Universe)

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known as "Dr. Eggman", is the main villain in BearfootTruck's Sonic stories. In these stories, he has taken over the Kingdom of Mobius and roboticized most of its citizens. Now, he plans on taking over the rest of the world. Trouble is, there's a little blue hedgehog standing in has way, and he's brought some friends, too. Aside from his mad plot and a few other differences, he's practically identical to the mad genius we all know and love. For other evil plots, go here.
==Backstory==
Nobody knows where Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik came from. A popular rumor has it that he is really a scientist named Julian "Ovi" Kintobor who was injured in a lab accident. While a Dr. Julian Kintobor did exist, there are two major problems with this theory: First of all, Kintobor disappeared three years before Robotnik showed up. Second of all, Kintobor was nowhere near his lab when the accident occurred.
Despite the lack of background references, Dr. Ivo Robotnik was hired when he applied for a job as a military scientist in the Kingdom of Mobius. Here, he made some major breakthroughs, which was particularly fortunate because Mobius was at war with the Roseinian Empire at the time. Robotnik rarely spoke to his fellow employees, and for the most part, they didn't bother him. However, some of them would call him names like "Eggman" or "Egghead". He really hated being called "Egghead", although he rather liked "Eggman", so he chose that nickname for himself.
Little did anyone know, however, that Eggman had something even greater in mind. Then, one day, Mobius signed a peace treaty with the Roseinian Empire, effectively ending the war. This resulted in cutbacks to the Mobian defense industry, and also cause Robotnik to lose his job. Though he was angry, he was also pleased because it gave him the break he'd been looking for. The final piece of the puzzle lay in a shelved invention from Sir Charles T. Hedgehog: The Roboticizer. Created to prolong the life of the elderly, the sick and otherwise infirm, the Roboticizer had a glitch that robbed subjects of their free will and made them more violent.
On the flip side, the Roboticizer was perfect for Dr. Robotnik. Together with his nephew Snively, he staged an aggressive coup and took over Mobius. After this, he had most of the Mobians roboticized. Finally, he resumed hostilities with the Roseinian Empire. From here, he seemed poised to take over the world. However, a few years later, he found trouble in the form of a speedy blue hedgehog, and then a two-tailed fox. Despite the creation of a "Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad" and a Death Egg, he was unable to stop them, and he got even more than he bargained for when he tried to trick a certain red echidna. However, even with an entire cast of characters going after him and resultant withdrawals from the war against the Roseinians, Robotnik still won't give up...
==Personality==
Like his game counterpart, Robotnik is a cunning, evil person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. However, he is even more immature & childish in BearfootTruck's universe, going so far as to chew out his minions over minor faults. His hamminess is meant to be an allusion to his AoStH counterpart.
==Appearance==
Robotnik looks the same as he does in other universes. Again, owing to this universe's mix of classic & modern elements, Robotnik could look like his classic or modern self.
==Abilities==
Owing to his high IQ, Robotnik has the ability to create an astounding variety of machines, weapons & vehicles. His aptitude is such that he is able to violate the laws of physics, gravity, copyright, by, in, out and any other laws in order to conjure whatever evil doomsday plot he's using for a story. Despite all that, he is sorely lacking in the ability to defeat Sonic & friends.
==Items & weapons==
As mentioned earlier, Robotnik has a wide variety of machines & weapons at his disposal. However, his most famous creation is the Eggmobile, a spherical open-topped hovercraft which can have a variety of weapons & gadgets attached to it. Although Sonic has broken many of Robotnik's devices, he has never broken the Eggmobile

===ASMW===
====Two Kinds of Heroes====
Dr. Robotnik is constructing a new mech factory in Eggopolis in order to produce a more advanced variety of mech. First, he sends out Scratch & Grounder to capture Sonic, Tails & Knuckles, who inadvertently get teleported to Stalag 13. While he fails to capture them, he does capture Sally, Bunnie, Antoine & Rotor. Robotnik tortures them to extract the info he needs, but a freak electromagnetic storm is making his equipment malfunction, so he sends them to the brig for now.
Unbeknownst to him, they also end up teleporting to Stalag 13. When he finds out the prisoners are missing, Robotnik initiates a no-holds-barred search for them. When the search turns out to be unsuccessful, he decides to take part in the search himself. Eventually, he locates them at the mech factory, but by then, it’s too late: Sonic & friends have destroyed it.
====The Fakest Things Alive====
With his mech factory destroyed, Robotnik is sitting in the Great Forest, loathing his failure. After a chance meeting with Cream, he gets another idea for a plan. Back at his headquarters, Eggman announces his intent to steal the Sol Emeralds again. However, this time, he's constructed a new machine: an Inter-Dimensional Molecular Relocation Device. The device is supposed to teleport the Sol Emeralds over to their dimension. However, on its first run, the machine breaks down when only two Emeralds are stolen. Even so, the theft is large enough to attract the attention of Blaze the Cat. Unbeknownst to Robotnik, Sonic is also warped back in time and replaced with two impostors. At some point in this altered timeline, it is hinted that Eggman is murdered by Snively.
When Blaze the Cat attempts to get the Sol Emeralds back, Robotnik captures her and is about to roboticize her when Knuckles & Silver arrive and free her. In the process, the IDMRD is destroyed, prompting Eggman to send a patrol to the Great Forest. However, the patrol force is defeated by Sonic (actually Harry Potter Obama). Enraged, he sends a much larger force of stealthbots to wipe out the Freedom Fighters. However, the force is wiped out by the combined efforts of Amy, Blaze & Sonic (who has returned from a trip through time & space). Once again, Robotnik is very angry.
====And Down Will Come Sonic – Cradle and All====
Robotnik is especially angry at the start of this story, not just because his previous plot was foiled, but because he's had to recall a few of his forces from elsewhere in Mobius to defend Eggopolis. To complicate matters further, he has a new doomsday weapon in the works: The Atomic Decoupler, a weapon capable of destroying entire planets. To assist in his plan, Eggman attempts to deploy one of his E-Series robots by using a slot machine a la Sonic X, but the machine malfunctions and his cards are burnt up.
However, that's not enough to dissuade him from carrying out Operation: Nightshade, another one of his plans to stop Sonic. Robotnik sends out a phony distress signal to lure Sonic, and then deploys a bunch of spikes coated with a poison called sodium barboxide. Sonic ends up stepping on a spike and soon falls into a deep sleep, where he ends up having a bunch of nightmares. Convinced of his success, Robotnik gives himself a PRRRROMOTION. Unfortunately for him, Espio the Chameleon has been spying on him, leading the Freedom Fighters to learn of the Atomic Decoupler. Once Sonic wakes up, they go to work. Eggman tries to stop Amy from smashing the control panel, but in the end, his plot is foiled yet again.
====Mighty Sonic====
Seemingly at the end of his rope, Robotnik learns that his troop levels are returning to normal. He also gets another idea when he catches Scratch & Grounder watching a TV show called Super Changin' Muscle Rangers (a knockoff of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers). To this end, he has the stars of the show kidnapped and demands a ransom of 500 million Mobiums from the show's producers. However, Robotnik has no intent to release the hostages. Instead, he's going to force them to star in a few Muscle Rangers episodes that he wrote, roboticize them when he’s finished and take over the world with special robots that he modeled after the show's villains. Unfortunately, Sonic & co. know all about the kidnapping, so they battle Robotnik to rescue the hostages. Despite having a new version of the Death Egg Robot on his side, he gets his butt kicked yet again.
===Sonic Journeys===
====Pilot====
Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Robotnik bombs Emerald City and other settlements in Mobius, captures the survivors and roboticizes them. However, he fails to account for one: a homeless brown hedgehog named Sonny, who – unbeknownst to him – has broken the sound barrier and taken on the moniker of "Sonic". Robotnik first encounters Sonic at the edge of the Great Forest. Despite his technological superiority, the Doctor is defeated and retreats to Diamond Dust Zone. Throughout the story, Sonic pursues Robotnik and destroys his various machines, much to his chagrin. However, the Doctor gets the last laugh during a showdown at the Royal Palace when he injures Sonic with a homing missile from his Techno Body Shell Battle Suit. Unfortunately for Robotnik, the Blue Blur was faking his injuries and destroys the final weapon. Robotnik retreats to Westside Island, but Sonic – now accompanied by a fox named Tails – follows him there and hands him a few more defeats. Now on the ropes, Robotnik heads for his Wing Fortress, where he awaits Sonic with another ultimate weapon: the Wing Fortress Robot. Again, the Doctor nearly puts the screws on Ol' Blue, but again, Ol' Blue is triumphant, and the Doctor is forced to retreat.
===Other stories===
====Sonic Hotcakes====
One day, Sonic visits Robotnik's lair with a peace offering. He thinks it's eggs, but the gift turns out to be hotcakes instead. He gets angry and tries to kill Sonic, but fails. For the next couple of days, Sonic's friends try giving Eggman hotcakes, and every time, he gets mad at them and gives the hotcakes to Snively instead. However, when he attempts to kill Cream, Shadow rescues her and destroys part of Eggman's base.
====A Blue Light For the Dark====
In this story, Robotnik is having a meeting with his top henchmen. He has constructed another doomsday device: The Egg-O-Matic Peanut Butter Deceitifier, which can turn peanut butter into a mind control serum. He needed a more efficient way to take over the world, and he had recently come to the realization that roboticized beings will seize up if not oiled regularly, a problem compounded by the limited supply of oil. Furthermore, Robotnik rejects Snively's suggestion of creating an organic lubricant. Suddenly, the meeting is interrupted by the arrival of Sonic the Hedgehog & Mephiles. After Mephiles gives a vitriolic speech to Robotnik, the Doctor sics his badniks on the duo. However, Mephiles destroys the Egg-O-Matic Peanut Butter Deceitifier, angering Robotnik and causing him to pursue the duo. Unfortunately for him, he loses them.
====Sonic's Weird Birthday====
Naturally, Robotnik can’t help but try to ruin Sonic's birthday. To this end, he’s equipped his Eggmobile with a Tesla Terrormatic Coil System, while Snively is accompanying him in a hovercar equipped with an Egg-O-Matic Raindancer. Of course, Sonic, Amy, Cream & Cheese kick his butt.
====A Dark Birthday====
Robotnik makes a brief appearance when he destroys a tank that Sonic has gotten for Shadow. However, he is defeated when the Blue Blur inadvertently drops a low-quality AK-47 knockoff, which discharges and possibly causes the Eggmobile to be damaged. However, Shadow shows up in his own tank shortly thereafter, a more likely cause of Robotnik’s defeat.
====Sonic Wave====
Somehow, Robotnik has gotten a job as a history teacher at James F. Charleston High School in San Santos, under the guise of Johann Obotir. One day, he commences his newest grand plan by teaching his class about the Tedescan Civil War. After a question/answer session with the students, he starts an exercise in Discipline, first by teaching everybody to sit up straight with perfect posture, and then by challenging them to get out of their seats, walk around for a few seconds, and then get back to their desks as quickly and orderly as possible. He then makes them repeat the second exercise until they get it right. Prior to the end of class, he assigns the students three additional rules: 1. Stand up when asking or answering a question, 2. Preface all questions and answers with "Mr. Obotir", and 3. Make all questions and answers as brief as possible.
The next day, when he notices that his lessons in Discipline have caught on with most of the class, Robotnik orders everybody to march in place. Once this exercise is done, he starts a lesson in Community. His first order of business is to give the movement a name: The Wave. When he asks for a volunteer to draw a symbol for The Wave, Shadow takes him up on his offer. Although Robotnik questions the simplicity of the new symbol, he acquiesces to Shadow’s reasoning. After this, he makes the class repeat the mottos "Strength Through Discipline, Strength Through Community" in addition to performing a salute that's suspiciously similar to the "Nazi salute".
By Day Three, Robotnik is amazed to see that certain students have demonstrated their Involvement by wearing uniforms, creating blog pages and even a website. To further embolden them, he gives them membership cards, some of which have red "X"s on the back, making certain students into Prefects whose job is to enforce the rules. Additionally, he encourages the students to recruit more students into The Wave, making sure that they not only follow the rules and swear absolute allegiance to the movement, but are also able to recite their full names and grades. After this, he quietly utters the mottos "Strength Through Discipline, Strength Through Community, Strength Through Involvement" and gradually says them louder and louder before saluting. Though he is proud of how his brainwashing is taking with most of the students, he refuses an offer from Knuckles to have him as a bodyguard.
On Day Four, Robotnik enters class wearing a cashmere suit and has even taken on the title of "Grand Wizard". He tells the students that a rally is to be held in the school gym at noon tomorrow and that they are to bring uniforms, membership cards, banners and other Wave paraphernalia, even going so far as requiring all Wave members to attend, citing similar movements around the country. In spite of the surprise from the students, Robotnik feels it was necessary to talk about the nationwide youth brigade because of a special guest that is to appear on television tomorrow. Shadow then gives him a magazine with an electronics company ad with a message stating "THE WAVE IS UPON US". In shock, Sonic takes the magazine, and upon noticing the message, attempts to convince the other students that The Wave is a sham. However, Robotnik is unconvinced, and he orders Knuckles and Shadow to escort Sonic from the classroom. This causes anarchy in the classroom, which only ceases when Robotnik slams a heavy book on his desk. He does, however, permit Silver to go to the nurse's office, not knowing that he's really following Sonic, Knuckles and Shadow. 
Later in the day, Robotnik meets with Superintendent Coleman about The Wave. Coleman is concerned about the various complaints that faculty members have lodged about the movement, but Obotir assures him that The Wave is a movement of peace and that he'll take full responsibility if it gets out of control. After school, Robotnik is accosted by Sonic, Tails, Rouge and Silver at his house. They try to convince him to stop The Wave, but he declines, citing the widespread nature of the movement. Nevertheless, he tells them that he has formulated emergency procedures in case it does get out of control. The four students choose to believe him for now.
When Day Five rolls around, Robotnik assigns the students in his class to write essays about the good things that The Wave has done for them. By the time the rally in the gym happens, he speaks to the students via hologram and reads some of the essays, after which he gives a little speech on how the country has been going downhill recently. However, the real surprise comes when he announces his nomination as a Presidential candidate. Not long after, he greets Sonic, Tails, Rouge and Silver and reveals his true identity and plans. He gets irritated with Sonic's cockiness, which silences the students, and then he leaves for a secret maintenance room. Down here, he holds Superintendent Coleman hostage and threatens to shoot him with a laser pistol when the S.W.A.T. team intervenes. However, Rouge lets out a loud screech and disorients him, giving the good guys an opportunity to destroy his EggRobos, rescue Coleman and capture Robotnik. When he gets back into his Obotir disguise, he is forced to contact the members of The Wave by hologram again, and this time, he confesses that there is no nationwide youth movement connected to The Wave and is made to read some more essays, these on how The Wave has negatively impacted students. Afterwards, he is arrested by the San Santos PD and charged with inciting minors to treason and illegal gunrunning.
====Terror At the Olympic Games====
Robotnik comes over to Sonic's cabin with Snively to discuss the Summer Olympics. At first, Sonic is hesitant to talk about this, given that Shadow threatened Tails over it, but the Doctor assures him that he and Snively come in peace. Robotnik is delighted when Sonic mentions auto polo and similarly delights Sonic upon mentioning that the Mushroom Kingdom is participating this year. He also tells Sonic that Roseinian motocross champion Grigoriy Shvartsman is competing in motocross and also relates a story about how he and Gerald used to watch motocross. Furthermore, Robotnik agrees to a little bet with Sonic: whoever beats Shvartsman at motocross first will get a week's supply of his favorite food from the other.
During the Olympics, Robotnik scores the first goal in a men's soccer game against the Roseinian Empire and also wonders about a defensive strategy that Sonic has chosen. The next day, Robotnik takes part in the tipoff of a men's basketball game against the Federal Republic of Columbia, but Columbia's Wilt Ewing reaches it first. Nevertheless, the Doctor gets a couple of three-pointers. A week later, Robotnik is serving on Tails' pit crew during the men's Moto2 event and is surprised when Shadow shows up to say something to Sonic and runs away. He guesses that the Ultimate Life Form is nervous about something.
The next day, Robotnik and Snively join Sonic and Tails at breakfast and are themselves joined by Grigoriy Shvartsman. The Doctor feels honored to be joined by him in spite of Shvartsman knowing about his crimes. When Shvartsman vows to break Robotnik and Sonic, Robotnik talks about Sonic's skills in Extreme Gear racing. Despite his best efforts, Robotnik places fourth during the men's Open class motocross race, but Sonic places first. The Doctor then promises to make him the best chili dogs ever. The day after, Robotnik and Snively join Sonic and Tails for an auto polo event against Mario, Luigi, Bowser and Bowser Jr. At one point, Robotnik prays that Sonic has a plan to beat the Mushroom Kingdom. He congratulates Sonic on his driving after the match.
When the Roseinian People's Direct Action Front kidnaps the members of the Mobian Olympic Team, Robotnik calls the terrorists "mad", but is warned that he will be shot first. Nevertheless, thanks to the actions of the Royal Mobian Constabulary, he is rescued without a scratch.
