Crabmeat (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)

Crabmeat was a Classic Badnik designed specifically to aid Dr. Robotnik in his schemes to take over the world of Mobius. It had a built in vocoder, allowing it to talk directly to the mad genius. Robotnik stated at one time or another that he actually preferred having the faithful Badnik serve as his assistant rather than his whiny nephew Snively.

Biography
In Sonic the Hedgehog #39, in order to betray Nack the Weasel, Robotnik altered Crabmeat, giving him the ability to become very large. Shortly after Crabmeat tossed Nack out a window, he was destroyed by the new Mecha Sonic.

Crabmeat later appeared on the Island of Misfit Badniks along with many of the other scrapped badniks Robotnik Prime had designed, but the island was sunk when Sonic and Pseudo Sonic collided in a battle against each other. Crabmeat notices that both Sonic and Pseudo Sonic were evenly matched and suggested a "Bighorn Challenge" to settle the fight. The island sunk as a result, and the badniks faked their deaths to avoid suspicion. Later all badniks including Crabmeat were planning a revenge scheme involving enlarging Pseudo Sonic. However it was corrupted by Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters. During the fight, Crabmeat was seen to be zapped by P.B. Jellyfish. All badniks were eventually crushed into a cube when Big Fluke landed on top of the island and Pseudo Sonic.

Crabmeat returned when it fused with the Krudzu Hybrid Hydra which got defeated in Titan Metal Sonic's body and tries to find a better replacement until it finds the inoperable Metal Knuckles laying in the ground in Albion. It then merges with Metal Knuckles, later, during the battle with Team Fighters, the Krudzu used Crabmeat's claws to assist it in battling them.
