Motobug

* Modern
* Classic

The **Moto Bug** is a line of Badnik created by Dr. Eggman to serve as part of his robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.

## Overview

You can help *IDW Sonic Hub* by writing it.

Moto Bugs resemble ladybirds, albeit ones that cannot fly. They are ground-based robots that run on a single wheel and have an exhaust pipe on either side of their bodies. While they sport a pair of clawed forearms, Moto Bugs lack any real offensive capability and typically can only attack by charging into their targets, though there have been examples of Moto Bugs being modified with additional weaponry.

## History

### Past

The Motobug was one of the many badniks that attempted to celebrate the Doctor's birthday, despite the doctor's reluctance.

Upon his reconstruction by Dr. Eggman, Heavy King served as the commander to Eggman's badniks, including a group of Moto Bugs and a Turbo Turtle. (Seasons of Chaos)

### Sonic Learns to Drive

The Moto bugs were later seen among the badniks that Dr. Eggman used to attack an unnamed city.

### Dr. Eggman's Birthday

You can help *IDW Sonic Hub* by writing it.

### Post Eggman War

After Sonic the Hedgehog managed to defeat Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained and continued to attack without a leader. Among these robots were the Crawlton. Eventually, the badniks came under the control of Neo Metal Sonic, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. They returned to Dr. Eggman's control once his memories were recovered. (StH: #1, #7)

## Personality

Basically, the Moto Bug is a mindless and silent drone programmed to follow its leader's every command. As such, when left without a leader to follow, it become directionless and only able to cause harm by accident. Under a guiding force however, it is a cold and merciless machine that carries out their commands without question.
Unlike the Motobugs used by modern Eggman, these badniks exhibited characteristic traits, such as fawning over the doctor and celebrating his birthday on their own volition. They are also shown to be more expressive.

## Variants

### Giant Variant

***See also:** Moto Bug (Giant Variant)*
   The giant variant of the Moto Bug is several times larger than the average Moto Bug. Some of them have twin Gatling guns mounted on their heads behind what would be antennae, in which case the holes where the antennae would be can be seen in front of and to the sides of the guns. The guns are strong enough to turn a regular Badnik to dust in a matter of seconds. The gun usually has an Egg Pawn controlling it.

## Background Information

* The Moto Bug was based on the robot of the same name in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series, which first appeared in the original *Sonic the Hedgehog* game.
* Unlike the Motobugs used by modern Eggman, these badniks exhibited characteristic traits, such as fawning over the doctor and celebrating his birthday on their own volition.

Fullboar

This article is **incomplete**.
Please help improve *IDW Sonic Hub* by expanding it.

The **Fullboar** is a boar-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman to serve as part of his robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.

## Overview

The Fullboar is a Badnik modeled after a wild boar. It has a rotund body, with its front resembling a boar's head, sporting a pair of pointed ears, a flat snout and curved tusks. It ran on four small wheels and had an exhaust pipe at its rear end. Its coloration was typically red and yellow, although Dr. Starline would co-opt a number of these Badniks when he captured Egg Base Sigma and changed the red to purple.

Fullboars behave in a similar manner to Moto Bugs and Rhinotanks. When a target is spotted, they will rev up their engines before attempting to ram the target at full throttle.

## Background Information

* The Fullboar was based on the robot of the same name in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series. It first appeared in *Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II*.

## History

### Raiding Eggman Bases

When Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails raided Eggman's bases in an attempt to find information on who was commanding the Badnik horde, they stumbled upon an Egg Fleet battleship in the sky. Tails handed the Miles Electric to Sonic after instructing him to board the battleship and download data from the first computer that he could find. Unforunately, this plan was forgotten when Sonic was forced to flee the battleship following a battle with Neo Metal Sonic and some Egg Pawns. (StH: #7)

## Appearance

The Miles Electric is a wide yellow rectangle with two cyan-glowing antennas on top, rounded corners, a touchscreen in the middle, and some directional pads next to the screen. On its right side is also a handle.

## Abilities

Metropolis

**Metropolis** was a ruined metropol that was owned by Dr. Eggman.

## History

### Eggman's World Conquest

After Dr. Eggman got ahold of a mysterious artifact known as the Phantom Ruby and successfully took over the world, Metropolis explicitly featured its identity as Eggman's headquarters and capital central for the first time. Over the course of Eggman's six months of conquest, this mega city became the heart of the world-spanning Eggman Empire. Eventually, the Resistance would take back the city from the Eggman Empire.

### After the War

Metropolis was heavily damaged during the Eggman Empire-Resistance war, a war which ended with the Resistance's victory. In the aftermath, Metal Sonic's upgrades to Neo Metal Sonic were completed and he surfaced in Metropolis to aid Dr. Eggman in the final battle only to discover that he was too late. (StH: #7)

## Description

Metropolis is a large metropol that consists of countless futuristic skyscrapers, many of which carry dark spheres on top of them. Highways also wind between the top of the skyscrapers. In the present however, much of the city lies in ruins, with many of the buildings either displaying cracks or having been tipped slightly over.

## Background Information

* Metropolis was based on the location of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, where the version seen in the comic first appeared in *Sonic Forces*. 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.
* As Neo Metal Sonic appeared in Metropolis after its upgrades were completed, it is possible that it was in Metropolis itself where said upgrades took place.

## Political Alignment and Abilities

### Inhabitants

* Meringue

## Biography

This **Riverside** was the site of a Badnik attack that was stopped by Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose. It was a village with fairly modern housing structures and included at least one clock tower. During the Eggman war, the town hall was covnerted into a shelter whenever the town is attacked by badniks.

## History

### Fallout

Shortly after the end of the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, this town found itself under the attack of the Super Badnik, Death Crab. At some point before Sonic the Hedgehog arrived to this town to help fend off the various Badniks that would appear, word had spread of Sonic's team up with Tails in a nearby town, and Amy Rose figured out just where Sonic would pop up next. It is unknown if she arrived before or during the attack from the Death Crab. When Sonic finally did come across this town, he found it under attack from the Death Crab, and, with some help from Amy, defeated it. A villager then warned them of an army of Badniks arriving, and they realized the Death Crab was only a decoy. Together, they defeated the army, which consisted of Egg Pawns, Egg Walkers, and a Blowfish Transporter. After the battle and ensuing conversation, Amy let Sonic know that Knuckles the Echidna was currently investigating another nearby town and had not reported back in a while. Sonic gave Amy a salute, said he would check it out, and they parted ways. It is unknown if Amy stayed behind in the town to help recover or if she moved onto another town to fight more Badniks. (StH: #2)

### All or Nothing

After the Deadly Six usurped Eggman, his faceship and the control of the Metal Virus, the Zeti, besides Zavok, went to different areas to do as they see fit with their controlled Zombots. Zazz, with his Moon Mech, went to Riverside, where he used the zombots he controlled into terrorizing the uninfected civilians. (StH: #25)

## Notable Inhabitants

* Dspite appearing in IDW Sonic Issue 2, Riverside's name was not revealed until Sonic the Hedgehog #25.
