Interesting.

On my side, after my last comment I have thought of jack all.

Hmmm.......

How about... Eggman uses his robots to disrupt the flow of data around the world, this plot being disguised as randome attacks that make Eggman look desperate. The data being disrupted is masked by fake data that world leaders think just needs to be fixed. And Eggman's real plan is to manipulate the data and send it back to each nation to make all of their tech useless so he can just march in with his robots and take over.

And while Sonic, Tails, and Big, are dealing with this the old fashioned way, with some extra help along the way, Eggman has robots out collecting the Emeralds as a last resort. They succeed in stealing the Master Emerald while a decoy force distracts Knuckles. Rouge finds out about this and tries to take it for herself, but the robots end up dropping it off of a train and it scatters and the pieces drift off in the ocean, with Knuckles and Rouge trying to find the pieces.

Meanwhile, Shadow tasks himself with destroying some of Eggman's key machines for his plan. Shadow runs into the Chaotix, and they discover what Eggman's goal really is. As they are all getting ready to leave, Shadow runs back in to mess with outgoing reports to Eggman, as well as send a little "treat". He then activates the self destruct switch and heads for the next machine he has targeted, with the Chaotix heading out to tell Sonic about Eggman's plan.
