Hard Boiled Heavies

The **Hard Boiled Heavies** were an elite squad of badniks created by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik (Classic) in his quest to conquer the world.

## History

### Past

At some point in the past, Dr. Eggman created the Hard Boiled Heavies to act as his elite Badniks. After a strange gem (the Phantom ruby) fell into Angel Island, Eggman sent the Heavies to investigate. Upon being exposed to gem's energy, they became more powerful and attempted to rebel against Dr. Eggman. Sonic eventually defeated them. Despite trying to usurp him, Eggman was not unswayed in using them again.

### Seasons of Chaos

Some time after their destruction, Dr. Eggman decided on reconstructing the Heavy King in order to provide his badniks with a commander. Not content with letting Robotnik be in charge of him, and after being prevented from eliminated the doctor by metal sonic, he overrode their loyal programming and took over Eggman's badniks. Using his new force, the HJeavy King promptly kicked Eggman and his Eggmobile out of his Winter Caverns zone base. Intent on using the Chaos emeralds to rule the world and to resurrect the rest of his squad as his generals, he tasked the badniks to search for the Chaos Emeralds.

### Dr. Eggman's Birthday

Some time beforehand, Dr. Eggman went on to seemingly reconstruct the rest of the squad.

### Members

* Heavy King
* Heavy Rider
* Heavy Shinobi
* Heavy Magician

## Trivia

* The Hard Boiled Heavies first appeared in the game, Sonic Mania, which was set in the classic dimension of the Sonic the hedgehog game series.
* Out of all of the Hard Boiled Heavies, the Heavy Enforcer is the only member of the group that is absent in the stories.
Karen’s Coffee

**Karen’s Coffee** was a coffee place in Green Hills that was owned by Karen. It's ownership would be changed to Agent Stone after becoming a lowly employer and then raising up his influence.

## Employees

* Karen (Manager, formerly)
* Agent Stone (former employee, current owner)
* George (assistant manager, formerly)

Glide

The **Glide** is a technique where the user glides gently through the air in semi-flight. When Knuckles the Echidna uses Glide, he can also attack in the air with his fists.

## Description

Glide is not a technique that grants the user unbound flight through the air, but rather it manipulates the user’s fall through midair. To perform Glide, the user must be positioned in midair, either from a jump or a fall over an edge. The user then manipulates the air currents around him or her which makes it possible for the user to both slow down the rate of the descent from the fall and to move significant horizontal distances while descending, much farther than what they could reach with a normal jump or fall, but they cannot move upwards. The user will continue to glide until he or she latches onto a wall, lands safely on solid ground, or stops on purpose. If the user should stop gliding while in the air, he or she will begin to drop normally through the air; however, if the user wants to, he or she can resume the Glide.

The ways to manipulate the air currents vary from user to user; Knuckles uses his dreadlocks to trap air under them and Rouge the Bat does it by using her wings to move through the air. Since most users of the Glide can also climb on walls, this move is perfectly suited for exploring the surroundings.

For users such as Knuckles, the Glide can also be used offensively. By extending his spiked fists in front of him while gliding, Knuckles can damage any unprotected enemy his fists come in contact with. This is also known as the Grinder Attack.

## Background Information

* The Glide was based on the technique of the same name 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.

Flapper

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

## Overview

   Flappers are aerial units which - like many of Eggman's machines - are based on the doctor's own likeness. Their bodies look very similar to Egg Pawns, though these robots do not have arms or legs. They fly via jet packs on their backs and maneuver with their short, stubby wings. They come in several variants which can be identified by whatever weapon they carry on their undercarriage.

The standard Flapper - which has no armament - acts as a simple surveillance drone. With its enhanced optics, it can keep watch over large areas or observe specific targets at a distance.

## Personality

Basically, Flappers are silent drones programmed to follow every of their leader's commands without questions. As such, when the leader is missing, they become directionless and only able to cause harm by accident.

## Variants

Kaizoku Hogan

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

**Kaizoku Hogans** were a type of Robot Pirates that served as members of Captain Whisker’s crew in Blaze's World.

## History

### Past

At some point in the past, marine and Blaze fought the robot pirates. Both Johnny and the his captain, were defeated and disappeared.

### Blaze’s follow up

Blaze began to search for and eliminate any remaining robot pirates with the aid of Marine and her boat, the Ocean Tornado. She attacked and boarded one of the pirate's ship and began to interrogate a head of the Kaizoku swords on who was leading the pirates. The robot head told her that they were essentially leaderless ever since Whisker, Johnny and Mini and Mum disappeared. The robot then told her that they have been directionless and just did nothing, and that she had essentially won.

## Personality

Like the badniks from the modern world, they would be directionless without anyone to lead them.

## Trivia

* The Kaizoku Hogans were based off the enemies in Sonic Rush Adventure.
* It could be argued that since the robot pirates were created by both Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega, they could be classified as badniks.

Final Egg

The **Final Egg** was one of Dr. Eggman's many bases of operations. Located in the Mystic Ruins, the base's exterior appeared as a looming technological tower while the interior was filled with all manner of unusual and deadly machinery.

## History

### Past

Years before the War, Dr. Eggman had established the Final Egg base while investigating the Mystic Ruins. From this location, he concocted a plan to destroy the city of Station Square, intent on building Eggmanland upon its ruins. Inevitably, Sonic the Hedgehog interfered with the doctor's scheme, leading to a confrontation between them within the Final Egg. Eggman fought Sonic using his Egg Viper mecha, but was defeated. Following this defeat, the base was abandoned.

### Post-War

Following the War, the Final Egg had been put to use once more, this time by Dr. Starline. While Dr. Eggman was living in Windmill Village as the benevolent "Mr. Tinker", Starline had restored the base's lab for his own purposes. He sent Rough and Tumble to abduct Mr. Tinker and bring him back to the Final Egg where Starline would subject him to a series of cruel electro-shock and hypnotic therapy sessions in order to restore Eggman to his old self.

## Background Information

* The Final Egg was a location in the game *Sonic Adventure*. The part depicted in the comic was the entrance area that could be found within the Mystic Ruins.
	+ The fact that this was, indeed, Final Egg rather than an aesthetically similar location was confirmed by artist Evan Stanley on her Twitter.

Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman

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

**The Lost Pyramid of Dr. Eggman** was one of Dr. Eggman's abandoned bases that was located in Dusty Desert. The base was based on an Egyptian theme.

## History

### Past

At some point in the past, Dr. Eggman created this Egg base in the Dusty Desert. He then abandoned the Egg base for some unknown reason. There were rumours that the place was cursed.

### Cures of the Pyramid

Some time after it was abandoned, Rough and Tumble began searching for any treasures or weapons left behind by the Doctor. After avoiding the spiked wall trapped, they encountered a rival treasure hunter, Rouge. Determined to get the treasure before her, the two skunks used their stink to get a head start. By the time Rouge caught up, the skunks were fighting an Egg Golem, which was presumably left behind to deter any intruders in the base. Rouge then went off to find a remote to stop the Golem. After the skunks decimated the golem's head, glaoting that the pyramid's treasure was their alne, they were then spooked at a mummified Rouge, who beleived that the curse finally got her. The scared skunks ran out in fright. However, this was a ruse by Rouge, who discovered that the temple was home to some dwellers, and that scaring off the skunk duo would deter any would-be treasure hunters from raiding the pyramid, and not have to resort to using traps. The greatful dwellers, offered Rouge some of the treasure they have hidden, with Rouge promising one of them that this secret will be under wraps. (Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2019: Curse of the Pyramid)

## Trivia

The Lost pyramid was loosely based off Dr. Eggman's pyramid base in Sonic Adventure 2.
