Project Hodge Podge

Project Hodge Podge is a subject mentioned in the Sonic Boom comic series published by Archie Comics. It is an enigmatic project created by Dr. Eggman. Its intentions are unclear, though its purpose appears to be about seizing Team Sonic's data for Eggman's inventions.

History
As implied by Sticks the Badger, and later partially proven, the purpose of Project Hodge Podge is to acquire Team Sonic's bio-data for one of Dr. Eggman's machines, though the validly of the latter remains unspecified.

To get the needed data for Project Hodge Podge, Eggman staged the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix which he got Team Sonic to participate in. During the race, Eggman had his hidden Bio-scanning Who-za-ma-whats-its scan and copy the data from Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy in secret while he indirectly took the heroes out of the competition. Once he had the data, Eggman could upload it to his servers and move onto the next phase of Project Hodge Podge.

Trivia

 * "Hodge-podge" is a term used to describe a confused or disorderly mass or collection of things. This may be a reference to how Dr. Eggman plans to use Team Sonic's collective data for one purpose.
 * Dr. Eggman copying the data from living beings for his machines is similar to what Neo Metal Sonic did to the protagonists in Sonic Heroes to become Metal Overlord.
