Scorpion Bot (Badnik)


 * For the first character introduced by that name, see Scorpion Bot.

The Scorpion Bot is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is a mass-produced, scorpion-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman, and one of the doctor's newest classes of robotic foot soldiers.

Appearance
Based on the typical scorpion, the Scorpion Bots stand at twice the size of Sticks. They have a flat and smooth prosoma (head) and mesosoma (body) with red armor on top, a black underbelly small cyan eyes and two short yellow chelicerae. Their head armor in particular have two horn-like protrusions along their body. They also have six thin black legs with red knife-like claws and bendable tips, each connected by a grey joint, and thin pinchers with red and black claws. Their tails are grey and black with segmented red armor, yellow joints, and yellow and black fins, and their stingers are yellow-mouthed tubes with cyan lights on the side.

Season two
The Scorpion Bots first appeared to attack the Unnamed Village after Eggman found a way under its defenses. While they kept Team Sonic busy, the Scorpion Bots all got destroyed.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice
In Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, the Scorpion Bot made a cameo appearance amongst the sneak peaks at the concept artworks for the second season of Sonic Boom. Its concept artwork can be unlocked with one hundred Ragnium shards in Sonic's Shack.

Personality
Said to be bigger, meaner, and more dangerous than the classic Badniks, the Scorpion Bots are silent, ruthless, single-minded and unquestioningly dedicated to Dr. Eggman's orders.

Powers and abilities
The Scorpion Bots are capable of fire potent and fairly fast fireballs from their stingers.

Weakness
Despite their updated design, the Scorpion Bots are very fragile, just like the classic Badnik.
