Hoverby

Hoverby Mk II is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a mass-produced, butterfly-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance
The Hoverby Mk IIs are based on butterflies. They have purple metallic bodies with wide eyes, yellow feelers, gray proboscis, and twin yellow rotary engines on the sides.

Past
After Sonic the Hedgehog thwarted Dr. Eggman in their last encounter, the Doctor disappeared while his Hoverby Mk IIs and the rest of his Badnik army remained. Without a leader however, the Antons were directionless and no longer a unified threat. Even so, they would still randomly attack anyone they came across (although such incidents were more accidental than aggression-based ).

The Fate of Dr. Eggman
Eventually, the Hoverby Mk IIs came under the control of an unknown villain, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. A group of them soon after attacked Sonic and Espio in a mountainous region, only to end up being destroyed by the two heroes.

Personality
Basically, the Hoverby Mk IIs are mindless and silent drones programmed to follow their leader's every command. As such, when left without a leader to follow, they become directionless and only able to cause harm by accident. Under a guiding force however, they are cold and merciless machines who carry out their commands without question.
