Doctor Eggman (Sonic X)


 * This is about the Doctor Eggman from Sonic X. You may be looking for Doctor Eggman from the game canon.

Doctor Eggman Robotnik is the main antagonist in the anime Sonic X. He is a mad scientist bent on world domination. He is aided in his schemes by two sidekick robots, Decoe and Bocoe, as well as his messenger robot Bokkun and a horde of E-Series robots.

1st Season
Eggman, along with Sonic and several of Sonic's friends, were transported to Earth during an accident involving Chaos Control. Eggman wasted no time in attempting to conquer Earth, but was repeatedly thwarted by Sonic and his friends.

2nd Season
In the 2nd Season, Dr. Eggman found out that he was born on Earth, the home of his grandfather Gerald Robotnik, and somehow flung into Sonic's world.

A while into the series, everyone found out that they had to go back to their world because the alternate universes containing their planets were fusing together, and would only stop if Sonic and co. leave.

3rd Season
In the third season, his role as the main villain is taken over by the Metarex. At one point, he joins the Metarex but is later caught stealing their technology by Pale Bay Leaf. He is saved by Sonic and his friends and joins them as allies for the rest of the series.

Personality
Despite having a few evil moments in the series this version of Eggman is considerably more lucid and overall sympathic than most others. Clearly not having problems with kidnapping and threatening to inflict harm, he does however think it to go too far by actually hurting his hostages, and dislikes to harm humans and animals alike; for example, when the Metarex begin to beat up a captive Chris and Cosmo, Eggman criticized them, remarking that "It's one thing to take them prisoner and threaten them, but when you actually hurt somebody, that's going too far!" Earlier in the series, when the Eggsterminator was brutally beating Sonic, Eggman could not bear to watch and even ordered the robot to stop and give Sonic a break. In contrast he seems more flamboyant than most of his other counterparts, he is frequently showing off.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Eggman's relationship with Sonic is very complex. One minute Eggman will want to get rid of Sonic permenately and the next he will actually save Sonic or help him out. One example is in an episode where Eggman manages to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic tries to fight it but is losing terribly. Eggman asks Sonic to surrender because he can't bare to watch and even asks his robot to give the guy a break. Another example is from episode 53 when he saves an unconscious Sonic at the beach near where he lives and plants a microphone on him before he wakes up. Underneath the hater he actually seems to estimate and friendly care about the blue hedgehog, as a mather of fact when he gets back to Mobius in ep. 52 he desperately seeks for him, threatening him to conquer the planet if he doesn't show up.

Decoe, Bocoe and Bokkun
Eggman frequently treats them bad and likes to make them feel miserable. He has created them to be more likely his company, and that could be the reason he built them with a deeper consciense and soul than any other robots. Even if more likely he sees them as friends (for wich he seems to feel upset when they turn their back on him) he doesn't miss a second to tourture them.

Trivia

 * Dr. Eggman saved Sonic when he crash landed on the base, saying, "I would feel guilty if you died around my neighborhood. So you should thank my compassionate heart for saving you." (This quote is translated from the Japanese Version.)
 * When Eggman sends out a missile after Tails, one that can't be avoided, he gets angry when he figures out that the self destruct device was never installed. He says "Now I'll have to live knowing that I killed Tails, forever!" (Quote was translated from the Japanese version. In the US and Europe, he says, "With Sonic gone, I can't afford to lose another enemy!")
 * Eggman states that he is the protagonist of Sonic X and not Sonic.
 * Eggman breaks the fourth wall the most in the show by constantly bringing up the fact that it is an anime.
