While Cubot and Orbot are starting to grow on me, Sega decides to cave into the cartoons format of Dr. Robotniks and given Dr. Eggman two henchbots of his own. Just like Grounder and Scratch, Decoe and Bokkun and, in a sense, Sleet and Dingo.

Personally I have always considered that Dr. Eggman could of hired Nack the Weasel as both mercenary and treasure hunter. Like Orbot, Nack could be the one to mock his "boss" such as his stupidity or his cliché evil scientist schemes. I believe the partnership the two would have will be humorous. Yes a questionable choice of sidekick as well as Nack cares more for his own tail than the safety of anyone else which would make it more interesting when Sonic would thwart Eggmans scheme and things go balls around him. Nack would be more practical than Orbot and Cubot as he could also serve as sub-boss at times. Also Nack who is familiar with the Special Zone as well as a treasure hunter, would have just the skills to get the emeralds for Dr. Eggman as Sonic would. that is, if he is willing to fulfil his "contract" and return those valuable gemstones to his boss.

And a running gag is that even if Nack betrays Dr. Eggman at the end of the game, the partnership can start a new in the next game and so forth until Dr. Eggman fires him completely. All in all the fact that Nack could be an ideal sidekick for Dr. Eggman can be a good reason for being back in the game. I prefer the idea of him making fun of Dr. Eggman than just Orbot.
