That be like Batman but no Joker. Eggmans part of Sonic's history and shouldn't be discarded so easily.

Besides, isn't "Dr. Eggman being killed off for another villain" something that has happened both times in both Archie and StC comics? but Eggman is just a harmless goofball Even the Joker himself appears as a "goofball" most of the time, up until he execute the joke, along with many hostages.

Often times Dr. Eggman constructs powerful machines that keep Sonic occupied and Eggman is capable of unleashing powerful monsters onto the world, albeit with limited to no control. if by Powerful Machines You mean Giant Pieces of Trash that break easily then YES We need COOL and RESPECTABLE Antagonists for THIS Series Break easily?

Does everyone has super-speed and fight giant mecha's or army of mass produced killer robots on a regular occasion?

Are they all made in Japan? ... well I guess technically they are. One time, Dr. Eggman made a mecha powered by the Master Emerald itself that could fly through space, shoot bogey-missles and mouth-lasers. It took Super Sonic to defeat it. Also Dr. Eggman is known to construct space stations just because he was inspired from Star Wars.

I admire a guy who gets easily inspired to do great, almost impossible projects and acomplish them in a few years. Eggman wastes His Brain on Trash that breaks easily while Mephiles killed Sonic with a Light-Show and a Stab to the back Dr. Eggman has been an enemy to Sonic for over twenty years. If he is going to kill Sonic, he would want to do it his way, by his rules with his toys, so that when history looks back on the death of Sonic, they will know very well that Doctor "Eggman" Robotnik did it and did so his own way. but Mephiles killed Sonic using His Brains and Manipulation while Eggman just uses Brute Force Mephiles took advantage of Other Peoples Idiocy Mephiles was a coward. Instead of facing Sonic in a battle like Eggman would, he just distracts Sonic then impaled him from behind. No impaling Sonic from the back instead of facing Sonic in a battle and losing like Eggman is Mephiles being a SMART Antagonist

And what if he succeeded? What if he killed Sonic? What if there was absolutely no way to bring him back? Then what?

I'd rather have a villain that went close but no cigar than a villain that would smoke the entire series. Mephiles is a Smart Antagonist Eggman is a Dumb Antagonist

Not all the time. Sometimes he had his chances and failed. If he actually succeed in killing Sonic, then with the protagonist of the entire series dead will leave many critics happy to see the end of the series.

Keep in mind that Sonic the Hedgehog has a gallery of villains now than just Dr. Eggman. Such as Metal Sonic, Nack the Weasel, Bark and Bean (I think), Chaos when he was bad, Solaris along with Mephiles and Iblis and quite a few other enemies over the years. If anything this prooves that Sonic is more of a hero than simply going from point A to B in zones. Personally I really like the idea of Mephiles alone returning to the series.

But Dr. Eggman will always be Sonics #1 enemy and I appreciate Sonic Team for this. Because Dr. Eggman is both history and a classic to the series. Dr. Eggman is the one we want to laugh at, the one we want to jeer at, the one we somehow relate to one way or another. This makes him a good villain because he's not over-the-top at being a villain while at the same time has his own morals and twisted views on how things should be done.

But keep in mind, no Sonic the Hedgehog means no new games and/or comics along with it. So rather have a lovable boob with a megalomania complex than some spawn of great evil to kill-destroy-onliterate Sonic and everything else.
