SWATBot (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Swatbot is a character that appears in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of Sonic Underground. It is a robot series created by Dr. Robotnik which serve as the robotic police and military forces of the Robotnik Empire. As such, they work under Robotnik and his underlings Sleet and Dingo. They are frequent opponents of the Resistance.
==Appearance==
Swatbots come in three distinct models (although there are several more variations), all of which are humanoid and quite bulky. The third, however, has a more feminine shape. All three models are equipped with a laser blaster on the end of one arm.
On special occasions, Swatbots sometimes wear tuxedos for nobility. Two were even dressed as beef-eaters during the forced adoption ceremony of Sonic and Sonia in Wedding Bell Blues.
==Personality==
Swatbots possess some sentience, but are not very bright and possess little personality. They are drones in every sense of the word. Having been ordered to capture the Sonic Underground, most Swatbots react loudly at the sight of any of the trio (upon where they exclaim "Priority 1, Hedgehog alert") and will try to kill or capture them.
Due to their low intellect, Swatbots are unable to recognize Sonic even in the most obvious disguises. They also frequently shoot one another by accident, trip over objects, and crash into walls, similar to the Imperial Stormtroopers in Star Wars.
==Powers and abilities==
Swatbots are usually armed with energy guns (referred to as lasers) which can fire steady streams of energy. They are also equipped with flight boosters in their feet. Some Swatbots also have special blasters that shoot a glue-like substance that sticks the target to the ground.
==Weaknesses==
Swatbots are incredibly inefficient, being very vulnerable to small cups of water and are highly combustible. They also have an easily accessed control panel on their arm which shuts them off. On occasion, Swatbots are destroyed by having light objects such as plastic plates and mattresses thrown at them. Finally, they are not resistant to Sonic's singing voice, and they are easily converted to the Freedom Fighters by the mere act of Sonic's vocalizing.
==Variants==
===Swatbot Dogs===
The Swatbot Dogs are Swatbots whose design is derived from non-anthropomorphic dogs. Acting like police dogs, they work alongside regular Swatbots in patrolling different areas. Like the Swatbots, they can be converted to good by the power of Sonic's singing.
===Officer-themed Swatbots===
The officer-themed SwatBots are Swatbots who enforce the laws and arrest lawbreakers. Despite being loyal to Robotnik, they are not programmed to arrest the royal hedgehogs and will only arrest them if it appears they have committed a theft. After Robotnik's defeat, it is currently unknown of what became of them.
==Trivia==
*The term "Swatbot" is likely a pun on the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) division of police officers.
