E-Series



The E-Series are a group of robots created by Doctor Eggman, who uses them in his quest to conquer the world. They are higher tier enemies than normal badniks, and are used by Eggman as a kind of elite trooper. The E-Series is the last series of Eggman's robots to use captured animals as a power source (with some exceptions, see below) - with more recent efforts such as the mass-produced Egg-Pawn series, Flickies are no longer used.The E-Series' first appearance was in Sonic Adventure in which E-102 Gamma is a playable character.

E-01
What is supposedly the first robot in the E-Series is the gargantuan central core computer of the Death Chamber in Sonic Adventure 2. It is a very large, immobile, four-wheeled cylindrical unit the height of the central area it is positioned inside. Its "E-01" decal can be found near the top of its metallic outer shell. While some say it is an E-Series prototype, it seems more like a nuclear reactor, and not much like a fighting machine.

E-100
The E-100 line robots were the first of the E-Series; they were introduced in Sonic Adventure. They were gunner robots, still in developmental stages. Almost all were equipped with some sort of lock-on target ammunition, though its utility varied between models. Unlike many of Eggman's robots, some of the E-100 series were important characters in their own right. The most prominent was E-102 Gamma, who was a playable character during the game. The E-100 series were also given Greek letter names.

All E-100 robots except ZERO appear on collectable cards in Sonic Rivals. But instead, ZERO appears as a card in Sonic Rivals 2. In the Hot Shelter level in Sonic Adventure a destroyed body of a green robot resembling the E-100 series can be found. Many fans called the destroyed robot E-106 Eta. This robot appears again in the Gimme Shelter in Sonic Battle.

Isaac
While not technically a member of the E-100 Series, Isaac is a robot from the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, and his design is simply a golden recolor of E-102 Gamma. He was created in the distant past by Professor Niven Clarke and was subservient to Dr. Ivan Kintobor. Activated when the Xorda aliens launched their first assault on Earth/Mobius, he monitored Kintobor while he was in stasis in his bunker.

Rediscovered by Shadow and Metal Sonic in the present day, he recounted his experiences of observing history from afar, including the first conquest of Mammoth Mogul and the coronation of the first king of the House of Acorn. Isaac is shown to maintain a nuclear launch silo beneath the bunker, and still tends to the dormant body of Ivan Kintobor. By unknown means, data was stolen from him by Dark Legion scientist Dr. Finitevus.

It is possible there is a link between Isaac and the SWATbot identified as Isaac by Ian Droid in Sonic Super Special #7, but it is untrue that Robotnik stole Isaac's design and used it for his E-Series.

E-10000
Sonic Riders featured yet another branch of the E-Series. This time, the E-10000 series. A difference in this branch is that they are referred to by color, as opposed to by name and number. The E-10000 robots appear to be similar in appearance to Eggman, but more advanced. Except for color, they both seem to have the same, basic structure. They are also equipped with a targeting and analyzing mode, similar to what is displayed by E-102 Gamma.

Type Errors
On the American Sonic Riders website, E-10000G and E-10000R accidentally got their stats (or possibly bios) reversed, and the website claimed that G was speed and R was power (it also lists their names as "Robo 1" and "Robo 2"). The Japanese website was correct, but in E-10000G's bio, it said the name "E-10000R" instead and vice versa. When the game came out, G turned out to be power and R was speed.

Sonic X (E-1)
Several robots from the E-Series appeared only in Sonic X. These robots are not canon to the games, and given differences between the Sonic X continuity and the game continuity, there may be some conflict between numbers. The robots are as follows:
 * E-11 Beacon - Episodes 4 & 12. Beacon is a purple bird robot, which Eggman first activated to help him retrieve a Chaos Emerald, but it is destroyed by Sonic. Eggman later activates a second Beacon model to help ward off an attack by G.U.N.'s air force.
 * E-12 Behemoth - Episodes 1, 11, 12, & 28. Giant massproduced humanoid robot that protects Eggman's base. Sonic destroys several of them before finding Eggman. One of the few reoccuring robots from the series.
 * E-13 Guardbot - Episode 1, 11-13. Basically a machine gun turret on tank treads. One of these robots break Eggman's Chaos Emerald device, and is as such the reason why everyone is sent to Earth.
 * E-14 Sneezer - Episodes 1, 11, and 12. A missle-launching robot that protects Dr. Eggman's headquarters. Two boxy launchers make up it's 'arms', while an extra trio of missles adorn it's head.

 * E-35 Funfun - Episode 12. A giant yellow bird robot with an equally giant fan that is used to stop Sonic and his friends from getting a Chaos Emerald. It is powerful enough to blow away the X-Tornado, but is destroyed regardless. Funfun was 9 meters tall and weighed 3 tons.

 * E-40 Egg Fortress - Sonic X Episodes 15-20, 47. Following the subsequent destruction of his original headquarters, Dr. Eggman reappeared from under the wreakage with a new mobile air fortress. Purple in color, the ship was designed with a trio of massive drills, one on the prow and two on the wings. A retractable bridge and three gigantic rocket engines added to this ships apearance. Armed with a battery of flak cannons and missle launchers, the Egg Fort also carries a pair of high-powered Egg Blasters, which in it's initial usage nearly destroyed the X-Tornado outright. After numerous defeats and repair work, Eggman retired the Egg Fort in Episode 20 in favor of the Egg Fort 2. The Egg Fort was ressurrected in Episode 47, having been commandeered by GUN forces into a airship of their own to combat Eggman's new Egg Battleship. It is uncertain what happened to the craft after the assault on the equator.

 * E-77 Lucky - Episode 25. Designed to be the ultimate lucky charm, Lucky's ridiculous and clumsy body is covered in good luck charm symbols. Lucky was dispatched to locate the seventh Chaos Emerald, but wasn't doing a good job because it kept falling over. Eventually, Lucky found it, and was going to give it to Sonic. Caught in a battle between Eggman and G.U.N., Lucky turned out to live up to his name, constantly dodging attacks that should have destroyed him. He also has the ability to fly. Lucky later appeared in a fighting tournament, and made it to the semi-finals because for certain reasons, such as his opponents never showing up or were forced to leave before fighting began.

 * E-91 Lady Ninja / Ku-no-ichi (Japan) - Episode 17. A robot based off of a female ninja, E-91 was equipped with shurikens, gliders, an electrocution net, a chain with a weight at the end that could either be small or turn into a wrecking ball, and an entire arsenal of different Ninjutsu techniques. Her name is a pun; the word "Kunoichi" means "Lady Ninja", but when the word is separated, it also means "91" (Ku-no-ichi). The Lady Ninja was dispatched to retrieve the red Chaos Emerald, but ran into trouble in the form of Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat. Eventually, she had Knuckles on the ropes, but Knuckles' human friend Hawk dumped water over her. Taking advantage, Knuckles hit her with a super punch, destroying her. Lady Ninja was 120 cm tall and weighed 200 kg.
 * E-99 Eggsterminator (US)/Egg Emperor (Japan) - Episode 26. The robot form of the Egg Fort II, the Eggsterminator was unleashed by Eggman when he was facing both Sonic and G.U.N.'s Beetle robots. Powered by six Chaos Emeralds, Eggsterminator could move faster and attack stronger than Sonic. Unfortunately, all the power sent him out of control, causing him to attack Sonic and co. without hesitation and glow an orange color. However, Eggsterminator was destroyed when Super Sonic, charged up with the energy of all seven Chaos Emeralds, rammed through it multiple times. The Eggsterminator was named "Egg Emperor" in Japan, and the name may have been changed to avoid confusing it with the "Egg Emperor" from Sonic Heroes.
 * E-3000 Egg Mars - Episode 56. A large robot that Eggman deploys in battle against a frog-like Metarex and in his efforts to acquire a Chaos Emerald. It was destroyed by the Metarex.
