Better quality, still potato recording.

Y'know, it's kinda odd Dr. Eggman doesn't have his own power generator, given in No Robots Allowed it shows he is capable of harnessing power from alternate sources. Heck I figure his lair would be at least geothermal given the location. Eggman is also capable of transmitting power wirelessly, as seen in same episode and Sole Power.

But I guess if Dr. Eggman knew of the Meroke Crystal he'd be after it any given oppotunity... which would actually make Dr. Eggmans raids have logical purpose for a change. Bill Freiberger has an explanation for this: https://twitter.com/BillFreiberger/status/838402835276443648 I really have conflicted feelings for this version of Eggman. I prefer a version of Eggman who is all for terrorism. Such as threatening to blow up Station Square or aim a gun-blaster to Amy's head for his demands or drop a capsule of critters to be rid of Sonic. I hope in Sonic '17 and future Sonic games, Boom-version of Eggmans mannerisms don't rub off on canon just because he is more "kid friendly" for a modern audience. (In such games as Sonic Colours and Sonic Lost World, Eggman seemed more watered down for comedy sake than go as far as blowing up half the moon just because he can.)

As much as I am getting to like Season 2 of Sonic Boom, Bill Freiberger would rather keep Eggman a minor threat for laughs, with other more computant villains such as Nominatus, Shadow and soon Lyric, having the just the few episodes.

If the Meroke Crystal was established in Season 1 and Dr. Eggman has always been aware about it, his character goal could be trying to steal the Meroke Crystal for himself, thus giving more purpose for his raids other than "for evil sake".

Taking into consideration that Eggman could remotely super-charge his robots in "No Robots Allowed" and that he could not use his robots due to the blackout in "Blackout", does that imply that the power source of Eggman's robots are his lair, meaning that if the lair is out of power, his robots will be too? Since no other robot other than Orbot and Cubot were seen, I guess we can pressume so. Especially since Eggman felt to be specific why Orbot and Cubot were still active.

KissCartoon link Much better quality, but has a few wordmarks. Still better than previous video qualities.

And since the weekends are over, it's alright to openly talk about the episode now without spoilers.
