## Synopsis

Dr. Eggman uses his brand new time machine to bring his former self from the past! Unfortunately, Dr. Robotnik does not know how to be evil! Time for the Mad Doctor to show him his evil roots!

## Plot

Dr. Eggman is pleased to have created his most brilliant plan in 15 years. Tails Doll wonders if it is ice cream that will never melt, Bokkun asks if it is a laser that will blow up the planet, and Eggrobo enquires if it is a video platform that gives him endless hours of *Back to the Future.* However, Eggman rejects all these ideas, explaining that he has created a transportation device. Metal Sonic scoffs at this, since he's heard it before, so Eggman escorts his "greatest creation" over to see the device, dubbed "the Scrambled Egg." Metal comments that it looks like a Game Boy atop a microwave, but Eggman tells him it's much more, and will allow him to access the past, present, or future and bring forth anyone from those time periods. He explains how the defrost button works for the past, the beverage button is for the future, and the dinner plate button is for transporting, since dinner is what he will think once he's feasted on Sonic, leading to Metal to claim he's going too far. Eggman reveals that he has Dr. Cortex and Dr. Wily working on the machine as well, (and apparently hasn't fed them the whole time); once they are done, he plans to summon his past self so he can undo his past failures. Metal points that out that both of them share one brain, and Wily admits he told him that as well, but Eggman never listened.

Eggman uses the machine, and though the Game Boy screen overloads, he manages to bring back Dr. Robotnik, his past self. Robotnik wonders who he is and Eggman explains that he is his future self, which the past Robotnik eventually accepts. Eggman then introduces Robotnik to Cortex & Wily, referring to them as his "coordinates" (likely meant subordinates) and "minions," which upsets both of them. Robotnik happily greets them, and Cortex wonders why he is so kind and Wily asks if he likes robots. However, Robotnik explains he's never made a robot before (much to the shock of his future self) and instead hopes to prove himself to the scientific community as a "candy scientist." Eggman is upset to learn his ancestor is "a candy making loon" (though, he admits, it does sound delicious) and wonders where his evil tendencies are, enraged upon learning Robotnik is not evil at all. Robotnik admires the doc's "toys" meeting with Tails Doll and seeing the Eggman Doppelgänger, both of which he is delighted by. Metal takes this opportunity to mock his boss, noting that his past self isn't what Eggman expected while Robotnik meets and impresses the robot by his knowledge of his operating system. This is due to having used it in his factory where he makes his greatest creation, lollipops called "Chupa Chups" (which Eggman explains have already been invented, but Wily notes he probably already invented them). The doc gives out samples to Eggman's minions, who quickly praise him. Hoping to change the subject, Eggman asks Metal Knuckles about his "Operation: Tails a' Snip Snap" with Knuckles asking for a minute to set it up, as Metal praises Robotnik.

Eggman then drags his away his past self to witness his plan, which involves using a fake Sonic on a go-kart to lure out Tails to capture him. Robotnik questions this, since kidnapping is wrong, but it told they are the bad guys; however, this fails to reassure him. The two scientists hide, but the plan is foiled when not only does Sonic appear with Tails, but Knuckles shows up and points out the double. While Knuckles admires its' kart, Eggman sends Robotnik to grab Tails, however, the scientist begs for mercy and Tails points out he's much too nice and cowardly to be the Eggman they know (plus he doesn't have goggles, as Sonic notes). Robotnik introduces himself and notes how he enjoys the time period, making them realize he's not from their time. He further endears himself by giving them Chupa Chups (causing Knuckles to question how to eat it, and bangs it against a wall in an attempt to do so). Sonic thanks him and introduces himself and the others, with Robotnik admitting his name sounds familiar, but he can't place it. With that, Sonic and company leave to get some chili dogs, and Robotnik waves farewell to his "new friends." This causes Eggman to emerge and fall unto the fake Sonic, calling Robotnik an idiot (which he admits, means he's doing the same to himself) before the fake Sonic explodes. Metal appears and says that Eggman calling himself an idiot "isn't that far from the truth," while Robotnik comments on the robot's tendency to snoop a lot.

Back at his lair, Eggman is having Robotnik play *Sonic R* (not *Super Mario Bros*, as he thought) and wants him to choose the correct character (himself) to play. However, Robotnik keeps wanting to play as Sonic instead of as himself or other villain characters, leading to Eggman constantly trying to prevent him from choosing Sonic. Finally, he relents and lets him do so, so he can see what happens when he does. Robotnik ends up playing as Super Sonic and takes out Tails Doll, to his anger, but Eggman mocks how long it took him to do so. Hoping to show up his past self, he plays the game as Robotnik but constantly fails, eventually causing his minions to walk out. Though he does manage to win and show up Robotnik with a better time, he finds no one is around to witness it, and he gets mad, causing Metal to call him a "sore winner" (and Robotnik to note that Metal is "snooPING AS usual"), while Tails Doll plays as himself (questioning how he can out of the TV if he is there, and if it means he'll get more friends). Eggman then takes Robotnik off to hassle Knuckles, but he fails to insult him and instead does his "Robotnik Dance" for him, which causes the echidna to laugh, to his displeasure; somehow, this causes the fabric of space to time to be broken, and Knuckles heads back Angel Island as a result.

Eggman finally gives up and admits he can't change his past self, so Robotnik thanks him and prepares to sell his Chupa Chups to kids. However, Classic Sonic appears and steals all of them, and hassles Eggman for bringing his version of Robotnik there, then flushes the lollipops down a warp pipe, a'la a toilet. Eggman checks on his past self, who recovers, now talking differently and revealing that he hated Sonic, but gave himself amnesia to forget what he was like, but now remembers his true, evil self. Now restored, Robotnik plans to set up a scheme to destroy Sonic, and blame Eggman if it fails; when Eggman points out they're the same person, Robotnik notes he can blame himself for his future mistakes. Robotnik then intimidates Metal to take him to Knuckles, which he does, and the doc captures him. Back at Eggman's base, Robotnik attaches Knuckles to his new "Brain Drainer" device (with Knuckles noting he should have an adult present to use the device), and brainwashes him into capturing Sonic for him.

Meanwhile, Sonic meets up with Classic Sonic, who mentions he's on edge due to Robotnik being there, and notes he's had to deal with him since he was born, also claiming that *Sonic 4* is the best *Sonic* game ever. Sonic asks his classic counterpart what Robotnik did to get him angry and he mentions how he sold lollipops to kids which could give them cavities, then spazzes out. As Sonic tries to help him, Knuckles appears, with an odd expression and repeating his "oh no" line. Nearby, this allows Robotnik to use a laser on the Sonics, however, he suddenly feels guilty upon doing so. Eggman appears and praises his past self for his actions, but Robotnik checks on Sonic and revives him with CPR. He then apologizes for what happened, saying it was due to his rage at Classic Sonic (with Sonic admitting not many people like his classic counterpart, and "he's pretty rude"). During this, Eggman attempts to attack Sonic from behind, but Robotnik warns him, so he avoids the attack. Robotnik asks for an apology and is given one, and he decides to return to his own time, but Sonic points out if two of him can exist in the same time, then two Eggmans can as well, adding that he knows someone who might hire him. He then frees Knuckles from his brainwashing, who claims Sonic ruined his fun and storms off.

Later, Robotnik meets with Pain-Yatta, and presents him with a Chupa Chup. The Skylander likes it and agrees to hire him, leading to Robotnik again doing his "Robotnik Dance" to end the video.
