### Usage by Neo Metal Sonic

While enacting his takeover of Angel Island, Neo Metal Sonic posted a major update regarding his plans on the Eggnet which he did not bother to hide. Sonic the Hedgehog and Silver the Hedgehog later managed to infiltrate one of Eggman's bases and access the Eggnet. After meeting Whisper the Wolf and her Wisp companions as well as defeating the Badniks residing there, Whisper almost destroyed a console that the Eggnet was on. Before she could, Sonic stopped her so that they could first get any vital intel off the computer. That was when they discovered Neo Metal Sonic's plans, which prompted them to mobilize the Resistance. (StH: #8)

### The Metal Virus

While working on his plans for his Metal Virus, Dr. Eggman would put his files out on the Eggnet. Some time after, Sonic and Amy Rose managed to successfully log onto the Eggnet from the Echo Mine's computer. Their plan was to find out what they could about Eggman's latest plan. Just as Amy found files on an ARK-like space station and talk of "payload distribution" however, Rough and Tumble arrived and destroyed the computer with a tank. (StH: #15)

According to Zor, due to Dr. Eggman's Metal Virus scheme, the Eggnet was in "chaos". (StH: #21)

After the refugees were sent to the evac point for the shuttle, Sonic rushed into the rabbit's house to get two large jars and trapped the chaos in each one, knowing that they were dangerous due to their ability to fly. By the time Sonic and the rescued villages were sucessfully evacuated, the both of the zombot chao eventually broke out of their glass jars.

The zombot cheese, along with the Zombot Chocola, made it to Central City, where they simply glanced at an otherwise unnoticed Tails, who was on top of his house, trying to extract the real metal virus that was recently dumped on the city. They snapped the power cables outside of his workshop, preventing the upload to the cure of the virus.

## History

### Fallout

After Sonic the Hedgehog managed to defeat Dr. Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained and continued to attack without a leader. Among these robots was at least one giant battleship variant of the Buzz Bomber. Eventually, the Buzz Bomber came under the control of Neo Metal Sonic, who made it and its fellow Badniks more cohesive. (StH: #1, #7)

Soon after the War, a giant Buzz Bomber battleship arrived at the hometown of Tangle the Lemur, where it deployed a nearly endless stream of Badniks to attack the town with. Eventually, Sonic the Hedgehog arrived to help defend the town. With the aid of Tangle and Blaze the Cat, who was also at the site to help the town, Sonic successfully boarded the giant Badnik and trashed it from the inside, which caused it to fall from the sky. Before the Buzz Bomber battleship could land on Tangle's town however, Blaze diverted its crash-course with a beam of fire, causing it to land in the empty outskirts of the town. (StH: #4)

## Appearance

This variant of Buzz Bomber resembles a mechanical mud dauber (also known as mud wasp). Its head, spherical thorax, and abdomen are all purple, and it has black stripes around its abdomen. It also possesses a bendable bar between its thorax and abdomen, yellow and black-striped antennae, gray mandibles, long pink wings, and gray rocket engines on both sides of its thorax. Additionally, the pink part of the wings seem to be made of some sort of energy, as they began to disappear upon its defeat.

## Background Information

* The Buzz Bomber battleship variant was based on the normal Buzz Bomber robot in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series. It was unnamed in the comic, but is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.

Drill Wispon

The **Void Wispon** is a Wispon that is both themed after and utilizes the power of the Yellow Wisp.

## History

### The Imprisoned Planet

At some point in the past, the Yellow Wisps, along with other fellow Wisps, and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, as thanks for saving their race and planet, a bunch of Yellow Wisps and other fellow Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they helped out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could, the Wispons being one such way of helping in particular. (StH: #3)

### During the War

Near the end of the war, a town that served as a hub for Wispon distribution was saved from Badniks by the mercenary duo, Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk, who wielded a Burst Wispon and a Drill Wispon respectively. The two then offered to improve the town's defenses, but they winded up conquering the town. (StH: #3)

### Fallout

When Sonic and Knuckles the Echidna entered the town that was conquered by Rough and Tumble, the two duos eventually battled, with Sonic and Knuckles being victorious. One of the freed Yellow Wisps went into a civilian's Drill Wispon so that they could still help protect the town. (StH: #3)

## Appearance

Modeled after the Yellow Wisp, the Drill Wispon is a cone-shaped Wispon that is colored yellow with orange strips spiraling through. It also has a hole in the middle of the cone that resembles the Yellow Wisp's eye. The cone itself is attached to a black footing with yellow bars surrounding the gray grip that is attached to the back of the black footing. The grip itself allows the wielder to hold this Wispon in a comfortable position.

## Abilities

The Drill Wispon's signature function is its ability to hold Yellow Wisps inside it and harness their energies to power itself. Without a Yellow Wisp inside it, the Drill Wispon is useless.

Being built to clear out crowds of robots, the Drill Wispons must possess a widespread attack range.

Axel Jump

The **Axel Jump** is a technique that turns the user into a burning tornado to attack opponents. It is also one of Blaze the Cat's signature moves.

## Description

Similar to Sonic the Hedgehog's aerial version of the Spin Attack - the Spin Jump - Blaze jumps into the air and performs a horizontal spin upon her axis at high speeds into her opponent. During the spin, she ignites fire around her with her pyrokinesis and envelopes herself in the flames, increasing the move's attack power and turning herself into a mini-tornado of fire. Any enemy Blaze makes contact with during this jump takes damage and can sometimes cause her to bounce off them if the the angle is correct.

E-100 Series

The **E-100 Series**, also known as the **E-100 Line**, were part of the E-Series, as well as a series of Super Badniks that Dr. Eggman created. E-123 Omega is the latest of the series. It is believed that these series of robots were suceeded by the E-1000 series robots.

## History

### Past

At some point in time, Dr. Eggman created E-123 Omega, but the robot would later switch sides and would seek to destroy Eggman and everything that the doctor created.

At some point after the creation of the E-100 series, Eggman developed its sucessor: the E-1000 series robots.

A month after the war, E-106 Eta roamed one of Eggman's bases by himself. The robot did not notice a camoflaged Espio above him, who was searching for clue as to the whereabouts of the missing Dr. Eggman.

### The Fate of Dr. Eggman

While Sonic and Silver were exploring a pyramidal shaped base, they encountered E-107 Theta.

### Chao Races and Badnik Bases

Clutch previously acquired several successor models, E-1000s that were in working order.

## Known robots

* E-106 Eta
* E-107 Theta
* E-117 Sigma
* E-123 Omega (latest)
	+ Giga Omega

## Trivia

* The E-100 series were a group of robots that first appeared in Sonic Adventure, where the majority of them contained living animals such as birds. E-123 Omega would be introduced in Sonic Heroes. Because E-123 Omega is classified as a Super Badnik, it could be possible that the E-100 series such as Gamma and Beta were a type of super badniks as well.
Clucker

The **Clucker** is a line of Badnik, modelled after a a chicken and a stationary cannon, that was created by Dr. Eggman to serve as part of his robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.

## History

### Imposter Syndrome and battle for the Empire

Dr. Eggman had a number of these Badniks used as stationary turrets to defend his capital, Eggperial City. Several of them were destroyed by Doctor Starline with his enforcers Surge and Kitsunami in order to break in and override control of all the Badniks to Starline. Any Cluckers that were not destroyed were overridden to obey Starline.

## Overview

The Clucker appears to be a mechanical chicken with a white body, red wattle and tail feathers and a yellow beak. It has an audio antenna on either side of its head and its eyes are perpetually frowning.

Cluckers are often used to operate gun turrets in some of Dr. Eggman's facilities and airships. The robots are completely immobile as they are installed directly into the gun emplacements. The turrets they operate fire shells that resemble chicken eggs.

## Background Information

* The Clucker is based on the enemy of the same name from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* games. It made its debut in *Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)*.
