Crab Bot

The Crabmeat is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. They are crab-based robots created by Dr. Eggman which make up a part of the foot soldiers in the doctor's army. They are not very powerful, but make it up for it in sheer numbers.

Appearance
The Crabmeats come in many different sizes, the largest which are as tall as Sonic while others are only half as tall. As per their template, the Crabmeats resemble crabs. They have a dome-shaped body which is covered by a red shell with several stubby spikes on top, and they have six red knife-like legs with silver edges and a pair of red pinchers with small yellow claws. Finally, they have a oblong silver faceplate resembling a skull, with two tusk-like mouthparts and cyan eyes with slit-like pupils.

History
The Crabmeats were created by Dr. Eggman and primarily serve their master as his go-to military soldiers. They are usually stationed at Dr. Eggman's lair where they guard Eggman's fortress as sentries. The Crabmeats would also be deployed by Dr. Eggman against Team Sonic and other innocent on many occasions, only to quickly be destroyed by the heroes one way or another in the ensuring fight.

When Dr. Eggman held a surprise party for Orbot and Cubot, several Crabmeats joined in the festivities until Eggman brought them to a close. A lone Crabmeat later joined in helping Eggman train his reflexes with a game of laser tag which it lost to the doctor in.

Powers and abilities
The Crabmeats possess a pair of pinchers for offense, though their strength is unknown. They are capable of flight for aerial combat and are as well advanced climbers which can scale vertical surfaces. Additionally, they possess a laser targeting system on their forehead. Despite looking sturdy, the Crabmeats are rather fragile as a simple well-aimed whack is enough to disable them.
