**Dr. Ivo Robotnik**, more commonly known as **Dr. Eggman**, is the main antagonist of the Template:W franchise.

He is a mad scientist with an IQ of three-hundred bent on world domination. During his villainous career he became obsessed with the idea of an entire world under his rule, utterly convinced with his twisted belief that the results of a world conquest orchestrated by him would make the world a better place and benefit all its inhabitants. Using his unmatched genius, Eggman began his plans, spending his entire life on his self-righteous mission. He is the tyrannical ruler of the Eggman Empire, and Sonic the Hedgehog's arch-nemesis.

In Japanese, he was voiced by Template:W in *SegaSonic the Hedgehog*, the late Template:W, and currently by Kotaro Nakamura. In English, he was voiced by the late Template:W and currently by Template:W since 2005, who also voiced the Garbageman in the 2003 *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* TV series.

## Roles

Eggman generally serves as the main antagonist of almost every game in the franchise. Of those he is not, he serves as one of the two main antagonists of *Sonic Rush*, *Sonic Rush Adventure* (both alongside Eggman Nega), the *Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games* franchise (alongside Bowser) and *Sonic Generations* (alongside Classic Eggman), the central antagonist of *Sonic Adventure*, *Sonic Adventure 2*, *Sonic Advance 3*, *Sonic Free Riders* and *Sonic Lost World*, the secondary antagonist of *Shadow the Hedgehog* and *Sonic the Hedgehog 2006*, and the overarching antagonist of *Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps* and *Sonic Forces: Episode Shadow*.

He also appears as a supporting protagonist in *Sonic Heroes*, a major protagonist in *Sonic Rivals*, *Sonic Rivals 2* and *Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood*, a mentioned antagonist in *Sonic and the Secret Rings*, a cameo antagonist in *Sonic and the Black Knight*, and the tritagonist of *Sonic Frontiers*.

## Appearance

 File:Eggman robotnik.png  Eggman is a tall, bald, obese human standing 6 feet and 10 inches tall and weighing 128 kilograms (282 lbs). He has an overlengthed brown moustache, pale skin and yellow eyes, as revealed in *Sonic 06*. He also has long lanky limbs, contrasting his skinny, stake-shaped body. He possesses facial features such as a round face, long, pointy chin, pointed nose, and a toothy grin. He wears rectangular goggles, navy blue pince-nez glasses, white gloves, a red jacket with orange cuffs and a white zip, and black pants and shoes.

## Personality

Dr. Eggman is the cruel, ruthless, cunning, egotistical, arrogant, tyrannical and megalomanical ruler of his namesake amusement park Eggmanland (also known as Robotnikland in *Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog*), which consisted of several refineries, factories and industrial areas dotted across the South Island including its capital city by the name of Scrap Brain Zone. After Sonic's victory on South Island, the Doctor did not stop his aspirations but expanded them to include the whole world, with hopes of conquering it and turning it into his Eggman Empire, while also building his perfect city, shaped to appease the Doctor's ego - Eggmanland.

Dr. Eggman has a complete disregard for anyone but himself and is disrespectful in nature, happily mass producing his legion of robots while emitting smog into the atmosphere and pouring oil into the oceans. His I.Q of three hundred gives him a self-important personality, making him a vain and egotistical narcissist. However, this is his greatest weakness, as it can cause him to spend too much time being a blabbermouth and overlooking crucial flaws in his plans. He also has an inability to see his own flaws, considering himself to be the true form of genius.

Not content with world domination, Eggman aspires to have his genius rule all of creation and time itself. Realizing his robots alone are never good enough, Eggman, in later games, decides to team up with more powerful villains than himself, usually supernatural beings. This usually backfires and ends with utter failure.

Due to his tendency to make a poor judgment, Sonic often mocks him and Sonic and several other characters can see him as incompetent and something of a doofus. However, his goofy behavior can actually work in his favor, as it leads others to be fooled into underestimating him.

Despite facing challenges, Eggman is still a serious, conniving and materialistic guy and while things might not work in his favor, he'll work behind the scenes to make sure he comes out on top and when everything's going his way, he is a very dangerous and valid threat to all who opposed his plans.

Despite his intelligence, Eggman can be very immature, throwing temper tantrums when Sonic manages to wreck into his plans. An example of his immaturity is in the ending of *Sonic Unleashed*, when his robot begins to insult him over his constant failures and calls him a loser; Eggman screams "Oh, shut up!!", attempts to kick him only to comically fail, and then chases him through the desert while making agitated noises and violently flailing his arms in an attempt to grab him.

In many cases, Eggman is typically seen as a rival of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles and examples of his villainous and vituperative behavior at its worst would be in *Sonic Adventure*, where he took Amy hostage and attempted to blow Sonic up; *Sonic Unleashed* where he lured Sonic into his trap, stunned him, then using a powerful cannon, tore the emeralds from him and used the chaos energy to crack apart the entire world, proceeding to blast Sonic into the vacuum of space; *Sonic Colors*, where he used a mind-controlled Tails as a living shield, hoping to turn Sonic and Tails against each other; *Lost World*, where he enslaved Zavok and the other Deadly Six crew members for his own good; and *Sonic Forces*, where he is completely tired of Sonic and only wants him dead, he tries to destroy all life so that Eggmanland can finally rule.

Earlier, Dr. Eggman used to have a more honorable rivalry with Sonic and saw him as a motivation for his life in general, as well as holding some kind of respect or understanding for one another. In later years, Eggman has developed a bigger hatred towards Sonic and has started taking his goals more seriously than before (even his younger self was worried about how crazy he would become in the future). Although he still teams up with Sonic and his pals on occasions that involve more dangerous and evil threats, albeit the doctor often does this with ulterior motives in mind and the intention of backstabbing the hedgehog later on.

Despite everything, Eggman is not entirely evil or without humanity. He seemingly had a significant amount of respect and affection for his late grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, before learning of his vengeful plan to exterminate all life on Earth by crashing the ARK space colony into it, something which even he was horrified by, and also displays some level of care and admiration for Metal Sonic, his greatest creation. Most notably though, Eggman grows to love his AI creation Sage as his own daughter throughout the story of *Sonic Frontiers*, even reluctantly agreeing to team up with Sonic in order to defeat The End on account of her advice and bringing her back from the dead in the game's ending.

## Powers and Abilities

Usually in spite of his very advanced intellect and scientific know-how (being the smartest character in the series with a recorded I.Q. of three-hundred (possibly higher)), he fights Sonic and his friends in attacking machinery, but he has two superpowers: super strength and super speed, the latter being somewhat contradictory and inconsistent.

Eggman has been shown to be strong enough to destroy pillars, cars, and walls of ice with his fist with as much ease as Knuckles. He also has exceptional marksmanship, gunning down Tails' tornado at least twice.

In addition to his mechanic skills, Eggman can also be quite manipulative and convince people that he is a kind old soul. However, when Sonic is pitted against him, his speed, strength, marksmanship, and manipulation appeared to be poor.

## Creations

### Egg Mobile

 File:Egg Mobile.png  The Egg Mobile, also known as the Egg Pod or the Egg-o-matic hovercraft, is a famous creation of Dr. Robotnik. He uses it as his personal ride for the majority of *Sonic the Hedgehog* games. He also uses it to fight Sonic sometimes with some add-ons:

* Wrecking Ball

* Fireball Cannon

* Spike

* Mine Dropper

### Metal Sonic

Main article: Metal Sonic
Arguably more dangerous than the Doctor himself, this cruel and relentless robot has intense spite towards Sonic the Hedgehog, rivaling or exceeding Dr. Robotnik's hatred of the blue tinted insectivore. Metal Sonic was loyal to his evil creator in the 2-D games, and some of the 3-D games, but sometimes Ivo Robotnik himself struggles to handle this metallic speed demon and his occasionally rebellious personality.

### Eggman Fleet

The Eggman Fleet is an immense group of flying battleships built by Dr. Eggman. Bristling with guns, cannons, and robot armies, it is capable of laying waste to nearly everything in its path. Built for the purpose of helping the evil scientist take over the world.

### Egg Dragoon

The Egg Dragoon is known for being the most powerful of Eggman's creations. It has a notable size advantage against most of its enemies and its drill is made for attacking foes. In Sonic Unleashed it uses its drill in order to tear the Earth apart, meaning it must be extremely powerful. It can also do elemental slams with its drills, such as Ice, Electricity and Fire. Its cannon is obviously made for shooting. The rebuilt Egg Dragoon is a lot more lethal.

The cannons shoot even more fire and it can shoot ice from its claws. It can shoot both multiple small at the same time but can as well shoot a big wave. Egg Dragoon is a highly detailed robot with a lot of dragon-like details. It has a dragon like wings, a drill, big claws on its two feet, and a cannon. Its primary color is bright red, matching Dr. Eggman, but it also has light blue wings and an iron-like color on the drill and cannon. In *Sonic Unleashed*, Egg Dragoon is the second to last boss battle.

It was heavily researched and based on Sonic's movements and was supposed to be the ultimate weapon to kill off Sonic. The fight it had with Sonic was intense, and it destroyed layers of the Earth during the fight, but ultimately Eggman and his robot failed, and Sonic was sick of him and tore the whole robot apart and then threw Eggman away. The design in the mobile version of sonic unleashed is very different than the console version, as well as it is the final boss instead of Dark Gaia. In *Sonic Generations*, the Egg Dragoon is rebuilt and even more dangerous. It appeared out of nowhere really, but Sonic still managed to defeat it.

Egg Dragoon appears in the Sega video game, Sonic Forces. It is similar to how it was in the other games, except this time around, it is one of the first bosses in the game. This is an interesting fact considering in every other game it has been one of the last boss battles. It is fought in Green Hill Zone. It is unknown if it will return later in the game.

### Death Egg

Death Egg, one of the egomaniacal Dr. Eggman's finest and symbolic hi-tech weapons of mass destruction. An obvious homage of the Death Star.

### Egg Beetle/Lancer

These two insectoid robots are fought two times in *Sonic Unleashed*. The Egg Beetle is fought at the beginning of the game, while The Lancer is fought at the very end of the game.

The Egg Beetle, despite its name, resembles a spider more than anything. Its lancers have a molten fire color on them. It levitates above the ground and can fly at very high speeds.

 File:Egg Lancer Robotnik.png  The Egg Lancer is very similar to the Egg Beetle in terms of design, except this time it has a more intimidating and fierce design, along with an even more futuristic design with multiple laser guns that it uses.

### Badniks

Main article: Badniks
Small, weak, but mass-produced, and attacking in large numbers, and extremely versatile, these mechanical fiends come in many great varieties and they served Doctor Robotnik and they will hunt down Sonic the Hedgehog and anyone else who opposes the "good" Doctor.

## Trivia

* The character was originally designed as "Dr. Eggman" for the Japanese audience and adapted as "Dr. Ivo Robotnik" in the English release. Although references to both names, such as the "Eggman-01" designation of Wing Fortress in *Sonic the Hedgehog 2* or the "Robotnik Winter" level in *Sonic Triple Trouble*, were present in both Japanese and English versions of the games, there was no unified canon on the naming convention until *Sonic Adventure* series. *Sonic Adventure* introduced "Eggman" as Dr. Robotnik's nickname by Sonic, which he later adopted as his own supervillain alias by *Sonic Adventure 2* for the Western audiences. For the Japanese audiences, *Sonic Adventure 2* introduced Gerald Robotnik and Maria Robotnik, Eggman's relatives, officially establishing "Robotnik" as his real surname in both canons, along with the words "Robotnik Empire" appearing behind Eggman during a cutscene. The character was mostly referred to as "Doctor Eggman" after that, although references to his real name still appeared from time to time.

* File:The Roboticizer.jpg  The most well-known, yet infamous invention by Doctor Robotnik is the Roboticizer, a machine which makes living organisms, even animals, undergo the state of Roboticization, transforming them into fully mechanized robots devoid of free will. This is used in the *SatAM*, and *Sonic Underground* cartoons, and in the *Archie* comics. However, in the games, he puts small animals into robot shells to power them, instead of transforming flesh into robotics.

* Eggman was originally voiced by the late Deem Bristow in English from *Sonic Adventure* to *Sonic Heroes* (though Bristow's voice clips were reused in *Sonic Riders*). In Japan, though, he was at first voiced by Masaharu Sato in *SegaSonic* and the late Chikao Otsuka from 1998 to 2015.

* + Eggman is notable for being the only character to keep his *Sonic X* English voice actor. All the others changed voice actors in 2010.

* In the games, comics, and anime *Sonic X*, Dr. Robotnik (also called Dr. Eggman) idolizes his grandfather Professor Gerald Robotnik, and in *SatAM*, he cared for his robot pet Cluck. To date, Gerald Robotnik and Cluck are the only people he loves apart from himself.

* In *Sonic SatAM*, Robotnik claimed to have a metallic heart. This could mean his heart is indeed cybernetic, or he may have meant this metaphorically. At one point, he opens his mouth and asks Snively what colour his heart is. Snively says that he sees no heart, which Robotnik agrees with, implying he may not have a heart at all, unless it was also a metaphor.

* *Sonic Boom* is the only franchise in which Doctor Eggman is not obese.

* Although he is portrayed with cybernetic or mutated red eyes in the early cartoons and the comics, his eyes are a natural dark blue colour in *Sonic The Hedgehog* (2006).

* In 2D artwork, Eggman is portrayed as having pencil thin arms, and no chin, but in games, he has a more masculine face, a big chin and thick muscular arms.

* Fans of the *Sonic* games often debate intensely which incarnation of Doctor Robotnik is the best. Some consider the one from the *Sonic SatAM* cartoon to be the greatest, mainly because he appeared to be crueler than his game counterpart, and had a tight global grip over Sonic's home planet of Mobius. *SatAM* Robotnik fans also believe Sega's Eggman is too sympathetic to be considered a good villain, and see him as a harmless goody-good. However, many still believe the mainstream version is the greatest, as he has a comedic charm, is wildly inventive, colorful, and still can be very intelligent and cruel, as in *Sonic Unleashed*, he actually captured Sonic, disfigured him and shot him into space, intent on killing him, and in *Sonic Adventure 2*, he came very close to killing Sonic. Sega's Eggman is also cruel enough to burn up Wisps and attempt to turn everyone into mindless drones in *Sonic Colors*.

* Eggman's first name 'Ivo' is simply a backwards spelling of the Latin word 'ovi' which means 'egg'.

* + Similarly, in the *Archie Comics* and in the *Fleetway* comics, his original last name is "**Kintobor**" which is backwards for "Robotnik".

* File:The Robotnik Prime.jpg  "Robotnik" is an actual word, meaning "worker" or "slave" in the Slavic languages. This could explain his preference for using enslaved animals and robots as his minions. His first name, Ivo, is also a Slavic name.

* + A potential inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway was dubbed "Robotnikinin" in honor of Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, while the SHH ("Sonic Hedgehog") gene/protein was named in honor of Sonic the Hedgehog.

* His basic characteristics, such as his clip-less glasses, toothy smile, and mustache are based on the features of U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt.

* Eggman's character design has gone through more changes than any other *Sonic* series character.

* In *Sonic the Comic*, Robotnik is worshiped by a sinister underground cult known only as D.R.A.T., who is his fanatical "supporters" as well as called him both "**The Doctor**" and "**The Master**" and are more than willing to do everything in their power to return their "idol" to power and control over the planet Mobius and all of its inhabitants.

* The cartoon show *Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog* was the only English-speaking series prior to *Sonic X* to have Dr. Robotnik referred to as "Eggman" in the episode "Lifestyles of the Sick and Twisted" by Tails.

* Also in the episode "*Road Hog*" of *Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog*, Dr. Robotnik is referred as "The Master" by his brainwashed slaves who are under a hypnotic trance due to the Mind Pollens derived from Colonel Stench's special artificial flowers.

* In *Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine*, his pupils are clearly white while on the box art and in the show, they are colored red.

* In *Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games*, Eggman is a Skill character, but in the series, he was a Power character.

* Tails and Eggman were the only characters who are better known by their nicknames.

* His *Sonic Channel* artwork was the base of two 3D-model poses: first for his Trophy in *Super Smash Bros. Brawl* and again for *Sonic Unleashed*.

* The "Soda Can" item in *Sonic Free Riders* has a picture of Dr. Eggman on it.

* Despite being the main villain of the series, Eggman has been playable in numerous games.

* The only game he has never made an appearance on, not even a cameo was *Sonic and the Black Knight*. Despite this, one of the collectible items in the game, the Joker Card, has his logo on it, and the Legacy mission had his robots as enemies.

* An unused line of Omochao's from *Sonic Adventure 2* hints at the possibility that Dr. Eggman's mustache may be fake.

* Sega did not model any eyes for Dr. Eggman's 3D model in all games except *Sonic the Hedgehog* (2006). In the 2006 game, his eyes are blue.

* + Eggman did not wear his goggles in *Sonic the Hedgehog* (2006).

* An early version of Eggman was originally one of the choices to be the main character and even as the hero of the game that would become the first game of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series.

* There is an Internet meme from *Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog* where Robotnik's line "Snooping as usual I see" was shortened into "PINGAS". This joke was even used in the *Archie* comics.

* While the first name "Ivo" has never reached Japanese Eggman profiles, it did once get referenced in *Sonic Jam* (albeit in the English digital manual for *Sonic the Hedgehog*).

* In the game of *Football: Virtua Striker 3*, Dr. Eggman appears in a secret team called "FC Sonic" that make up Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy.

* It is revealed in *Sonic Generations* that before Eggman decided to become a villain, he was offered a teaching degree (which Dr. Robotnik said he was going to try to get).

* In *Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I*, the back of the cards in Casino Street Act 2 has Eggman's face on them.

* In every 3D main *Sonic* game since *Sonic Unleashed*, a running gag with Eggman has him shouting the word "shut up" (usually around the last cutscene).

* + However, in the second to the last cutscene in *Sonic Colors*, he said "shut up" to his own PA announcements, which means he could be tired of his own amusement park plans failing.

* The enormous mustache that Eggman wears in his various incarnations give him a passing resemblance to iconic *Looney Tunes* villain Yosemite Sam, although Eggman's is larger in size than Sam is.

* The most recent theater poster for Walt Disney's video game-based film *Wreck-It Ralph* prominently displays Dr. Eggman and Sonic on it.

* His jacket resembles the late legendary pop singer Micheal Jackson's *Thriller* jacket.

* Eggman's pose for *Sonic Colors* artwork is very similar to his pose in *Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed*, only with his hands in different positions.

* Eggman's pose for *Sonic Unleashed* is a near identical pose to his *Sonic Channel*.

* An unused quote in *Sonic Colors* has Eggman stating that the power of the Chaos Emeralds is weaker than the Wisps' Hyper-Go-On energy.

* Eggman has a recurring leitmotif, outside of "E.G.G.M.A.N.". It plays in *Sonic 06*, *Sonic Unleashed* (most notably the Eggmanland's hub world theme) and in *Sonic Colors* (plays in cutscenes before some boss fights and while in Sonic Simulator although the latter plays the music in an 8-bit style remix). Eggman has a combined theme in *Sonic 06* with Elise called "*Elise Goes Alone*".

* Eggman has a huge fondness for his own food he cooks in *Sonic Unleashed*, especially his "Poppin' Eggcorn".

* Eggman's ultimate ambitions appear to involve building theme parks despite having ulterior motives. Such cases are Eggmanland in *Sonic Unleashed*, all the parks in *Sonic Colors* and possibly counting *Sonic Free Riders*.

* Eggman outruns Sonic in many games, such as *Sonic and Knuckles* and *Sonic the Hedgehog 2*.

* File:The Eggmanland.jpg  Dr. Robotnik/Dr. Eggman along with his own namesake theme parks, share similarities with the sinister monarch King Bowser (with World Bowser and Bowser Land) from the *Super Mario Bros.* franchise and the all-around trash-talker Cartman (with Cartmanland) from the *South Park* TV series.

* Starting with *Sonic Colors*, his plots now seem to be a fusion of his classic goals of kidnapping animals and his modern plots of harnessing the energies of alien and supernatural beings. In *Sonic Colors*, he kidnaps and drains the energies of the Wisps. In *Sonic Generations*, he kidnaps Sonic's friends and harnesses the Time Eater's abilities. In *Lost World*, he kidnaps the animals of classic games and drains the entire world's life force, while at the same time attempting to hone the Deadly Six's abilities.

* There was a running gag that Eggman frequently finds powerful beings that he tries to control in order to take over the world, only for them to betray Eggman for their own agendas. Currently, the Time Eater and Infinite are the only ones who did not betray Eggman at any point.

* Like some of the other characters, Eggman's favorite food has yet to be confirmed. That said, it can be noted that in *Sonic Unleashed*, he is shown to have a love of submarine sandwiches as shown in a cutscene where he consumes an entire sandwich in less than 10 seconds.

* His nickname "**Doc**" (aside from his other alias "**Doc Eggman**") is a reference to the nickname of the *Marvel* supervillain Doctor Octopus (also known as "Doc Ock") from the *Spider-Man* comic books, the nickname of the time-travelling genius Dr. Emmett Brown (also known as "Doc Brown") from the *Back to the Future* franchise, and the famous catchphrase "what's up doc?" of the famous *Looney Tunes* character Bugs Bunny.

* Dr. Eggman's favorite anime is *Tokyo Ghoul*, according to the fourth *Sonic The Hedgehog Twitter Takeover*.
