E-Series

The **E-Series** (Ｅ－シリーズ, *Ｅ－Shirīzu*) are a robot line that appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. They are a production line of various robot models created by Dr. Eggman, who uses them in his quest to conquer the world. They are considered to serve as his main soldiers for his attempts at world conquest and be elite versions of the Badnik robots Eggman used in earlier in his younger times.

The most famous E-Series robots are the E-100 Series from *Sonic Adventure*. While many of them have been fully dedicated to serving their creator, others, such as E-102 Gamma (who was a playable character in that game) and E-123 Omega (who has been a recurring character since his introduction in *Sonic Heroes*), have rebelled and joined his enemies.

Caught in a battle between Eggman and G.U.N., Lucky turned out to live up to his name, constantly dodging attacks that should have destroyed him. He also has the ability to fly. Lucky later appeared in a fighting tournament, and made it to the semi-finals because for certain reasons, such as his opponents never showing up or were forced to leave before fighting began.

#### E-01

*Main article:* *E-01*
There is a large machine in Death Chamber. It is a very large, immobile, four-wheeled cylindrical unit the height of the central area it is positioned inside. Its "E-01" decal can be found near the top of its metallic outer shell. It is unknown if it is technically one of the E-Series robots, although it could be the base's central control computer.

### E-100 series

*Main article:* *E-100 Series*
This line of E-Series are the most prominent E-Series robots, being the only ones whose E-Series designations were revealed. They were introduced, in which they were prototype gunner robots, meaning that almost all were equipped with some sort of lock-on target ammunition, though its utility varied between models, but the following robots have since then evolved into more versatile machines in terms of combat. The E-100 series were also given Greek letter names.

* **E-100 Alpha**
* **E-101 models:**
	+ **E-101 Beta**
	+ **E-101 Mark II** - upgraded version of Beta
* **E-102 models**:
	+ **E-102 Gamma**
	+ **E-102 Chaos Gamma** - upgraded version of Gamma with two weapon arms
* **E-103 Delta**
* **E-104 Epsilon**
* **E-105 Zeta** - both original and defence versions
* **E-106 Eta**
* **E-108 Iota**
* **E-109 Kappa**
* **E-110 Lambda**
* **E-113 Xi**
* **E-118 Tau**
* **E-121 Phi** - duplicate of the Gizoid Emerl.
* **E-123 models**:
	+ **E-123 Omega**
	+ **Omega Copies** - two copies of Omega.
* **E-1000** - mass produced version of Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta.
* **Egg Keeper** - mass-produced robots that paralyze foes before attacking
* **Guard Robo** - mass produced version of Chaos Gamma.

There is also unidentified E-100 series robot in *Sonic Battle*, which may be a member of the line (or was at least planned if production halted). The Rusty Hydraulics in *Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood* are leftover parts from disassembled E-100 series robots.

### E-1000 Series

*Main article:* *Egg Pawns*
Doctor Eggman had progressed to create the E-1000 series of robots, alongside the E-2000 line, with the Egg Pawns serving as the most fundamental robot in the series and as well the basis for most of the following E-1000 robots, making it a rather versatile robot line. This series of robots still serve as Dr. Eggman most common robot soldiers in the present day. Known E-1000 robots include:

* **E-1000** - a mass-produced variant of E-102 Gamma
* **E-1001 Egg Pawn** - Orange Eggman-shaped robots that carry various weapons
* **E-1002 Egg Flapper** - multicolored flying robots with various weapons
* **E-1003 Cameron** - turtle bots with cannons
* **E-1004 Klagen** - jellyfish bots that grab your team members
* **E-1005 Egg Knight** - gold Egg Pawns that lead armies of enemies
* **E-1006 Egg Hammer** - giant black robots with hammers
* **E-1007 Heavy Egg Hammer** - armored Egg Hammers
* **E-1008 Falco** - bird robots that look like the Egg Hawk
* **E-1009 Egg Bishop**- Egg Pawns that can heal other robots
* **E-1010 Egg Magician** - Egg Pawns that can steal rings
* **E-1011 Casino Pawn** - Egg Pawns Found in Zone 3
* **E-1012 Rhino Liner** - mini train cars reminiscent of Rhino-Tank

### E-2000 series

*Main article:* *E-2000* and *E-2000R*
The E-2000 Series was first introduced in *Sonic Heroes* and has so far only appeared in the game. Only two models in this series are known which are both highly powerful and destructive machines:

* **E-2000**
* **E-2000R**

### E-10000 series

The E-10000 series are yet another branch of the E-Series. *Sonic Adventure 2*, *Sonic Riders* and *Sonic Free Riders* are the only games they had appeared. A difference in this branch is that they are referred to by color, as opposed to by name and number and is rather more programmed for Extreme Gear racing than direct combat. The E-10000 robots appear to be similar in appearance to Eggman, but more advanced. Except for color, they both seem to have the same, basic structure. They are also equipped with a targeting and analyzing mode, similar to what is displayed by E-102 Gamma. Some of these robots can also be raced against in Relay Races. Known E-10000 robots include:

* **E-10000B**
* **E-10000G**
* **E-10000R**
* **E-10000Y**

## Notes & Trivia

* The E-100 robot's code names are named after the characters in the Greek alphabet.
* There is a robot in the Archie comics named Isaac who bears a heavy resemblance to an E-100 Series robot, namely E-102 Gamma.
* In the prototype images of the *Sonic Adventure*, the E-100 series seem to have all the same color as Gamma.
* The Egg-Genesis' head bears an uncanny resemblance to those of the E-Series robots (specifically the E-100s).
