To not bother that admins by creating this thread instead.

I think I can answer your question of why "Shadow Android" wasn't part of Robotnik's/Eggman's "badniks". It's because "Badniks" have the Animals as their "batteries" - "Shadow Android" lacks that, therefore they are not "badnik".

Thought I would give you some knowledge about the difference between them two.
