Egg Pawn (IDW)

The Egg Pawn is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a mass-produced model of Badniks created by Dr. Eggman that is based on the Doctor himself. They serve as Eggman's primary force of workers and weapon robots in his army.

Appearance
The Egg Pawns are humanoid robots based on Dr. Eggman. The typical Egg Pawn is primarily orange in color, with a round body and a dome-shaped head that come together in an egg-like shape. They also have blank light blue eyes, sharp yellow noses, wide glowing panel for mouths, and black lower torso sections. They also have thin black arms with thick orange forearm armor and black four-fingered hands. Their shoulders mostly consist of orange disks with flat white tops. Lastly, they have thin black legs with segmented, boot-like orange feet and yellow soles.

Past
After Sonic the Hedgehog thwarted Dr. Eggman in their last encounter, the Doctor disappeared while his Egg Pawns and the rest of his Badnik army remained. Without a leader however, the Egg Pawns were directionless and no longer a unified threat, with any attack from them being more accidental than aggression-based.

Fallout
Eventually, the Egg Pawns came under the control of an unknown villain, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. Soon after, the Egg Pawns and some other Badniks launched an attack on a small town. A civilian tried fending them off some Egg Pawns with a Cube Wispon to protect other civilians, but an Egg Pawns easily knocked him down. Before the Egg Pawns could get the civilian however, Sonic arrived and destroyed them. Eventually, the Egg Pawns tried to escape the town when Sonic and Tails began overpowering their troops. As they neared the town's exit gate however, the Egg Pawns got cut off when Tails closed the town's gate, which caused them to crash into the gate and get destroyed.

Personality
Basically, the Egg Pawns 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.

Powers and abilities
The Egg Pawns have no special abilities to speak of.

Egg Hammer
The Egg Hammer is a giant gray and red Super Badnik variant of the standard Egg Pawn. Being much more heavily armored and stronger than the typical Egg Pawn, these destructive juggernauts get their name from the massive hammers that they wield in battle and can swing around with ease.

Flapper
The Flapper is an aerial variant of the Egg Pawns. They look similar to the Egg Pawns, except that their arms and legs and been replaced with parts suitable for flight.
