Newtron (Archie)

The Newtron (created 3235) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a chameleon-based Badnik variant created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik and is one of the original Classic Badniks.

Early missions
Newtron along with Ball Hog were seen as setting the explosion to blowing up a unnamed place as attempting to flush out a spy, but the bomb early explodes, because of Sonic who knew this and set them off before the bomb could reach its intended target.

The Newtron was part of Badnik team, which consisted him, Coconut, Crabmeat, Buzz Bomber, Slicer and Roller to break up the apparent wedding of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sally Acorn. Despite their assault, Newtron got easily defeated as other Badniks in team while the wedding reveals to be just a staged play.

Operation: Clean Sweep
During the Operation: Clean Sweep, one certain Newtron zoomed at Sonic from behind in rocket form, but he managed to grab him and headed forward using him as surfboard. After this Sonic let him crash into a nearby Capsule, and the Badnik was destroyed.

Powers and abilities
During the Operation: Clean Sweep, Newtron had ability to mobilize itself into a hovering missile.

Trivia

 * The Newtron was modeled after the badnik with the same name from the Genesis and Game Gear video game Sonic the Hedgehog, both times appearing only in the Green Hill Zone. While the game counterpart comes in two different types (regular and rocket types), the Archie Comics' incarnation comes only as single.
