Spina (IDW)

The Bladed Spinner is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a mass-produced, bat-based model of Badniks created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance
The Bladed Spinners are almost sphere-shaped robots with vague bat features. The upper halves of their bodies are purple with cyan-glowing eyes, two pointy gray ears with yellow frontal stripes on top of their bodies, and a white mouth panel below their eyes. The lower halves of their bodies on the other hand are silver (except for their lowest point which is purple) with two stubby yellow-tipped prongs on them. They also have a gray ring around their middle. They also have spinning semicircles, which are purple, silver and cyan in color, on each side of their bodies, mimicing wings. Lastly, they have electrical currents running between their ears and wings.

Past
After Sonic the Hedgehog thwarted Dr. Eggman in their last encounter, the Doctor disappeared while his Bladed Spinners and the rest of his Badnik army remained. Without a leader however, the Bladed Spinners 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 Bladed Spinners came under the control of Neo Metal Sonic, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. Soon after, some Bladed Spinners stationed in one of Eggman's bases encountered Sonic when he infiltrated their base. However, they were no match for Sonic, who simply boosted through them. A bigger Bladed Spinner soon after attacked Sonic, but it got destroyed by Silver.

Powers and abilities
The Spinners have the ability to fly in midair by rotating their wings like propellers.
