SWATbot (Archie)


 * For the version of this character before the Super Genesis Wave, see SWATbot (Pre-Super Genesis Wave).

The SWATbot is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was a military Badnik model developed by Dr. Eggman which served the doctor around the Eggman Invasion.

History
The SWATbots served as part of Dr. Eggman's Badnik Horde during his early campaigns of conquest, with a number of them being present during King Acorn and Walter Naugus' banishment to the Special Zone. However, they were eventually phased out and replaced by a later model, the Egg SWAT.

Egg SWAT
The Egg SWATs are the successors to the SWATbot line, combing the design styles of both the classic SWATbot and Egg Pawn. Like their predecessors, they have numerous modular options and limited personality A.I.

Trivia

 * The SWATbots are based on the original robots from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series, except that they looked more like Shadowbots than the SWATbots in the comic as they were colored a dark blue instead of white and grey for the majority of the series.
 * The term "SWATbot" is likely a pun on the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) division of police officers.
