Badnik (IDW)

The Badniks are a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is Dr. Eggman's personal robot army, consisting of robots of various designs that Eggman uses as foot soldiers, which the mad Doctor uses in his efforts to conquer the world.

Units more powerful than normal badniks (i.e. Egg Hammers) are designated as "Super Badniks".

Past
After Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies liberated their world from the Eggman Empired, Dr. Eggman disappeared while his global Badnik army remained. Without a leader however, the Badniks were directionless and no longer a unified threat, with any attack from them being more accidental than aggression-based.

Fallout
Eventually, the Badniks came under the control of an unknown villain, who made their army more cohesive. Under their command, the now-unified Badnik troops began attacking villages. During this period, Sonic the Hedgehog came to the rescue of a small village that was being besieged by Badniks. While smashing Badniks left and right, Sonic got ambushed by some Egg hammers. Thanks to the timely arrival of Tails though, the two heroes managed to destroy the Egg Hammers and the rest of their troops.
