Mighton

Mighton is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. He is an alien robot hero from Morristown, a city in the clouds above earth, along with his sidekick, Bolts.

Appearance
Mighton is a robot at Eggman's height, designed after a muscular humanoid. He has a grey frame with lion-colored armor covering his pelvis, lower chest, shoulders and feet. His upper torso and shoulders are further covered in red armor, along with his backhands, front forearms, lower legs and ankles. He also has what appears to be front lights on his chest, a green plate on the middle of his lower chest, lion stubs for knuckles, and a green spot on his front pelvis. His head is mostly red with a lion-colored face, a red mouth piece, a green spot on his forehead, and black eyes with blue sclera. He also has a grey antenna/cap on the right side of his head which can extend a small lens over his right eye.

Past
Mighton hails from Morristown, a city in the clouds where sentient robots live together in harmony as equals within a government-less society. Having been hinted to have a military background, Mighton was once on a stint in a foreign country. There, he woke up one morning to find his robotic platoon decapitated, leaving him to screw their heads back on.

Alongside his sidekick Bolts, Mighton would become a benevolent hero to his robotic world.

Season two
While out flying, Mighton and Bolts crashed on Seaside Island when their spaceship got infected by malware. Looking around Hedgehog Village, the duo helped Dr. Eggman beat Team Sonic when they saw the team smash what the duo thought were innocent robots, and joined Eggman at his lair. After introducing themselves though, Mighton and Bolts saw that Eggman was no friend of robots despite his claims, prompting Eggman to imprison them to learn of Morristown's location. Soon rescued by Team Sonic, Mighton and Bolts got their payback at Eggman, although Orbot and Cubot declined their offer to join them in Morristown. Admitting he had misjudged organics, Mighton bid farewell to Sonic and went home with Bolts in their fixed ship. Upon their return though, they found Morristown under the control of Hypno-bot, a Tails robot with the power to control robot AIs. With Hypno-bot spreading his signal all over the world, Mighton and Bolts joined up with the Robot Resistance, whom Mighton became the leader of, to stop Hypno-bot. However, they had to stay in a lead-covered bunker, or Hypno-bot would take control of them.

When Sonic and Tails appeared in Morristown to stop Hypno-bot's signal, the two were taken into the resistance's bunker where Mighton helped tell them of their situation. There, Sonic and Tails offered to go after Hypno-bot since they were not robots, which Mighton and his group approved of. After the duo beat Hypno-bot by kicking him off of Morristown, Mighton and Bolts emerged to pick them up from the aftermath of their battle.

Personality
Sentient and with free will and emotions, Mighton is a heroic and stalwart robot. Outwardly, he is a tough, serious and upstanding figure. He comes off as a hardened soldier, having witnessed some horrific sights (by robots standards) during his career and looks down upon those whining over lesser injuries. He also has a no-nonsenses attitude that makes him brush aside any laid-back pleasantries, although he not above making analogies. He also speaks in a gruff tone and militarist manner.

Mighton is evidently very loyal, being fully committed to protecting Morristown and his people, no matter what torture he has to endure, and cares for his friends. He is similarly extremely bold, having spoken up against Dr. Eggman with an insult despite being at the doctor's mercy. He is also direct in his words and says things as he sees them, even if they come off as insulting or unnerving. Beneath his tough surface though is a kind and benevolent being devoted to the greater good and robot-kind. Mighton is thus always willing to help or avenge his "robot brethren" whenever they are in trouble. Even the sight or mention of robots being treated as possessions or slaves is enough to grind his gears. Regardless, he is not indiscriminate towards robots, meaning he is willing to harm robots that turn out to be evil.

As put by Bolts, Mighton can be a bit hasty in his judgment, as he can forget to take into consideration whose side the robots he wants to help are on. Nonetheless, he has the qualities of a true leader, although the stress of such a position can sometimes get to him.

Originally, Mighton did not think highly about organic beings. After meeting Team Sonic though, he came to realize that such "primitive rodents" are not all bad and enjoyable to be around. He also shows great humility when admitting his mistakes. Mighton also has a bit of an artistic side to him, as he tends to bring a bit of enchantment with his hand gestures whenever he speaks the name of his city.

Powers and abilities
In terms of overall strength, Mighton is said to be a mighty individual. As his signature ability, Mighton can detach his fist from his arm and fire it as a missile at opponents from a distance and hit them with enough force to disable a Fire Bot in one blow. While his fist is in flight, Mighton can steer it in any direction, and even guide it back to his arm to reattach it or keep it suspended in midair.

Dr. Eggman
Mighton initially allied himself with Dr. Eggman on the grounds that his robots were being destroyed by Team Sonic. From there, Mighton was tricked by Eggman into thinking that Team Sonic were hooligans bullying robots, so the doctor could gain Mighton's allegiance. However, Mighton soon noticed Eggman's own abuse of his robots, prompting him to break off their alliance. Eggman then became Mighton's enemy when the doctor imprisoned him to learn the location of Morristown so he could conquer it.

Team Sonic
At first, Mighton thought Team Sonic were villains after seeing them destroy Badniks, prompting him to foil their efforts. Soon after, Mighton was fooled by Eggman into believing that Team Sonic were a rouge band smashing robots for fun. After the team rescued him from Eggman's captivity though, Mighton realized he had been wrong about them and recognized these "primitive rodents" as real heroes. Mighton has significant respect for Sonic and Tails in particular, calling them "the Mighton and Bolts of the terrestrial world."

Trivia

 * Mighton was first revealed in a sneak peak for the second season of the Sonic Boom television series in Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice.
 * Mighton's name is a portmanteau of "might" (which is a synonym for "great force" or "force") and "ton", the latter being a popular syllable for robotic names.
