Burnbot

"It all ends here, old friend. Prepare to be destroyed by Burnbot!"

- Dr. Eggman, "The Sidekick"

Burnbot is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. A robot created by Dr. Eggman to destroy Sonic, Burnbot's initial main weapon was its claws, despite its name. Upon Sonic's suggestion however, it was equipped with flamethrowers.

History
Burnbot was called forth by Dr. Eggman to fight Sonic at a mine. Once Sonic had finished his two cents on the inconsistency of Burnbot's name, the robot chased after Sonic and almost clashed with him when Tails showed up in the Tornado and helped Sonic counterattack Burnbot. However, Burnbot quickly got up and pierced the Tornado's wing, causing Tails to crash. Burnbot then faced Sonic again, but got smashed under a boulder Sonic knocked loose. However, Burnbot was picked up by Eggman with his Egg Mobile. Following Sonic's advice, Burnbot was afterwards upgraded with flamethrowers by Eggman.

When Eggman later competed with Tails to be Sonic's sidekick to eliminate both of them, he picked up Burnbot as he raced again Tails' Tornado. Burnbot pierced the plane's wings again, causing to crash in a frozen lake, where it faced both Sonic and Tails. Using its new flamethrowers, Burnbot made the duo to fall into the lake, but they quickly got out and Sonic landed a hard hit on Burnbot that made it sink into the lake.

Burnbot later returned to Dr. Eggman's lair where it was deployed by Sonic, who had switched bodies with Eggman, to battle Eggman until they switched back.

Personality
Displaying little to no personality of its own, Burnbot is silent, single-minded and unquestioningly dedicated to the doctor's orders. As per its programming though, it will only obey orders after being threatened.

Powers and abilities
Burnbot can move at super speeds comparable to Sonic's when he causes a sonic boom. It is equipped with a pair of large claws as hands, which are strong and sharp enough to pierce metal, and it can as well transform them into sawblades. It is also able to extend its forearms over long distances for long-ranged attack and then reel them back in.

Burnbot possesses two cannon below its chest which can fire small energy beams. After its first battle, Dr. Eggman equipped these cannons with flamethrowers, allowing Burnbot to shoot flames hot enough to make an large area of a frozen lake crack.
