Morristown is a location that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a city in the clouds above earth populated completely by sentient alien robots, including Mighton and Bolts.

Concept and creation
Morristown's concept was formulated by Bill Freiberger. Many names for Morristown were brainstormed during the development of "Robots From The Sky Part 1". The writers initially tried to come up with a cool name, but they eventually decided it would be funnier to give an alien city a regular-sounding name. "Morristown" ended up being chosen because two of the writers for "Robots From The Sky Part 1" (Alan Denton and Greg Hahn) come from New Jersey, which has its own Morristown an hour away from where Denton and Hahn grew up. The writers' other name suggestions were used as the name ideas for Morristown that the characters would come up with in "Robots From The Sky Part 1".

Appearance and architecture
Described as a "technological wonderland", Morristown is an airborne metallic city in yellow, grey and blue. It rests on a massive yellow plaform with a rocket-based exhaust on the bottom, and has a giant glass dome covering it. Most of the city consists of dome-shaped buildings, tube-based passages and round gates. The entrance into the city is through an airstrip-based entrance gate in the glass dome that leads to the town square. The town square serves as the city's hub and airport where the residents park their spaceships.

The insides of Morristown consists of several identical corridors whose walls are covered in pipes and high-tech machinery. Supposedly, there are also several jughandles instead of left-turns.

Features and defenses
The city of Morristown is able to hover on its own, keeping it perpetually floating in the sky. It also has an auto-docking sequence that automatically guides its nearly spaceships into its airport.

Morristown has its own defense in the form of a fleet of spaceship-farring sentries sufficient enough to keep the airspace surrounding the city on complete lockdown. Sonic and Tails have noted that this defense is very formidable.

Culture
Morristown is a city made exclusively for, and inhabited by robots free to live their lives however they want. It is considered a utopia to robot-kind and has no government or ruling overlord. As put by Mighton, the city is a "well-oiled machine of a society." In Morristown, the robotic inhabitants live together in harmony and treat each other with dignity and respect, and nobody post about politics on social media. Furthermore, free healthcare is provided to the inhabitants whenever they break down.

Morritown possesses technology that is completely alien and far more advanced compared to that found on earth. While the residents thinks highly about themselves due to their superior weapons and intellect, they are not very creative when it comes to naming things.

Past
Morristown has been hinted to be extraterrestrial in origin. The inhabitants came up with the name for it after some brainstorming. In time, Mighton and Bolts, two residents of Morristown, became prominent heroes to the population.

Season two
Discovering Hypno-bot in space, a scouting ship took him to Morristown to be repaired and improved on by the robotic residents. The results granted Hypno-bot sentience. During his stay in Morristown, Hypno-bot grew bitter from his belief that his creator Tails had abandoned him, prompting him to seek revenge on everyone on earth and conquer the whole world.

While Mighton and Bolts were away from Morristown in their spaceship, Hypno-bot made his move. Projecting his malware signal everywhere from Morristown, Hypno-bot manipulated the robots on earth to attack the residential organic creatures, while at the same time turning Morristown into his personal fortress by talking control of the residents. Hypno-bot's powers also made Mighton and Bolts' ship crash on earth, where the duo accidently inspired Dr. Eggman to conquer Morristown after telling him about it. After Mighton and Bots returned to Morristown, they became a part of the Robot Resistance, a movement consisting of local residents seeking to overthrow Hypno-bot. However, they had to stay in a lead-covered bunker in Morristown, or Hypno-bot would take control of them.

Sonic and Tails eventually tried reaching Morristown to stop Hypno-bot's signal, but ended up in a dogfight with the city's sentries. Using one of the sentries' ships though, Sonic and Tails managed to sneak into Morristown, only to find it in ruin. The infected locals attacked them soon after, but the duo escaped them when Bolts took them to the Robot Resistance, who let them in on the situation. More than willing to help, Sonic and Tails confronted Hypno-bot for the resistance, although they did not expect him to be the source of the malware signal. Chasing Hypno-bot across Morristown while swarmed by his minions, Sonic stopped Hypno-bot and his signal by kicking him off the edge of the city when he tried to kill Tails. With Morristown returning to normal, Sonic and Tails would recuperate from their battle there.

Points of interest

 * Morristown's central power core: A large room with a high-tech power plant that supplies all of Morristown with energy through numerous cables. During Hypno-bot's rule over Morristown, this area served as his stronghold, and included a throne for him.
 * Sector 7-G: A generic corridor area.
 * Robot Resistance's bunker: An isolated bunker that serves as the secret headquarters of the Robot Resistance. It is only accessible through a ventilation duct and features a single room with several computers and a medical ward for robots. The entire bunker is lined with lead which prevents Hypno-bot's malware signals from entering it.

Trivia

 * One of the names Cubot suggested for Morristown was "Sky Sanctuary". This is the name for one of the Zones in Sonic & Knuckles.
