The **Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad**, also known as the **S.S.S.S.S.S.**, or **S.S.S.S.S. Squad**, is a squad created by Dr. Robotnik to vanquish Sonic the Hedgehog. Other members have joined, but the main trio are Coconuts, Scratch and Grounder.

The S.S.S.S.S.S. later joins the Eggman Empire when they were recruited by Dr. Eggman. They are now on their mission to kill Sonic Prime instead.

## Formation

Robotnik came to the idea to build two new robots that will try to capture his arch-nemesis. Coconuts joined the team as well.

## Team Information

First appearing in "*Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad*" in the *Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog* TV show, the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad had tried to catch Sonic the Hedgehog countless times for the acceptance of Dr. Robotnik.

The team doesn't always work together and aren't exactly that intelligent, causing the squad to fail at their mission, which they always do.

## Members

### Scratch

*You've been scratching around here for too long, worm-bait. Time to cross the road & head home, pal. I'm winning this one by fair means or fowl.*

— Scratch [src]
**Like his brothers, Scratch is about as sharp as a bowling ball.** But while Grounder & Coconuts have a stronger arsenal of built-in weaponry, **Scratch is most often the one to at least ATTEMPT at constructing a plan for attack**, being limited in combat beyond aggressively pecking with his admittedly sharp metal beak & telescopic limbs. **He IS however quite a Mean Bean at the game *Puyo Puyo*.**

He talks a lot of game for a chicken, but he can't exactly take it as well as he can dish it out. He's directly responsible for the creation of his "twin" Grounder, something he very often regrets, as he'd rather not have such.... heated competition for their Robotnik's appreciation.

Finally feeling a sense of unappreciation from their universe's Robotnik, Scratch hopes that his recent team-up with Eggman to kill Sonic Prime (and affectively every other Sonic along with him) will once again bring joy to their master's face.

### Grounder

*Don't bet on it, Beak-Face! Dr. Robotnik's counting on ME to bring that high speed hedgehog a CRUSHING DEFEAT!*

— Grounder [src]

A living malfunction, Grounder was intended to be an identical twin brother to Scratch as part of a two-robot squad of Sonic bounty hunters (The Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad). A pull of the wrong lever from Scratch however, led to Grounder coming out as a compact model with hundreds of gadgets & accessories (& a VERY HIGH IQ of 25!)

Like his chicken-faced partner, Grounder's incredibley gullible, prone to falling for any disguise & trick that sounds even the least bit convincing. **He would roll off a cliff if he was told that it would be of use to him (and he has.)**

Already coming out of the robot maker undone, Grounder is known for constantly falling apart, & though he doesn't seem to mind it too much, it annoys his universe's Robotnik a fair bit.

**Now he's on a mission to prove his competence to his leader by destroying Sonic Prime!... Assuming his brother & the other villains don't get him first.**

### Coconuts

*DAW, I SHOULD BE IN CHARGE O' CATCHIN' SONIC!! HE'S GIVIN' 'EM MY JOB! I'LL SHOW 'EM!! I'LL CAPTURE SONIC FIRST!!*

— Coconuts [src]
He is easily the most competent of the S.S.S.S.S. Squad, though that's not saying much.

Coconuts hasn't exactly been pleased with his life as a creation of his world's Robotnik. Ever since the doctor created Scratch & Grounder, ol' Coconuts has been sidelined & demoted to Sanitation duty. Well he's had it, y'here!? HAD IT!!

While often willing to work with his two younger brothers, Coconuts is more likely to take matters into his own hands if the stupidity is too high for him to handle. Sometimes, he's even the closest towards actually catching Sonic! But all the same, he's still not the brightest; just the crankiest.

Coconuts' name isn't just for scraps n' giggles. This mechanical monkey has an innate ability to summon Coconut-shaped bombs from his hands within seconds, & if you know anything about monkeys, you'll know he's got a mean throwing arm. Explosives are most certainly his deal, but he has a tendency to get a little too trigger-happy in the heat of the moment. What this lacks in target accuracy however, excels in terms of wrecking havoc on the environment, leaving nowhere left to run to for shelter or security. **Rest assured, if he's in the area, things are bound to get a little nutty.**

## Trivia
