Badniks are robots created by Doctor Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog. Robotnik utilizes them in his scheme to capture Sonic and harness his power for world conquest. Although they have no official name, they are affectionately referred to as "Badniks" by Robotnik.
Appearance
These robots come in a variety of models depending on the intended task, but they all bear a distinct egg-like appearance with white casings and a single red camera "eye".
Variants
Aerial
The most commonly used model in the film is a floating egg-shaped robot with a red camera eye approximately two feet in length and one foot in diameter. They are equipped with two twin machine gun mounts, and four retractable missile launchers. They are first deployed when Robotnik initiates a preliminary sweep. Robotnik later uses them again when he confronts Sonic and the Wachowskis on the roof of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco.
Reconnaisance Drone
A smaller reconnaissance variant of this model was deployed by Robotnik to search the house while he spoke with Tom Wachowski.
Terrain
Tank Drone
After pinpointing Sonic and Tom's location, Robotnik dispatches a massive tank robot to intercept them. This robot's primary offense is a harpoon gun capable of catching a pickup truck.
"No, but thank you for asking!"
After the tank is destroyed, a smaller robot ejects from the wreckage to continue the chase. This robot attempts to disable Tom's truck by firing EMP mines, but is defeated when Sonic attaches one of the mines to its eye.
"Who is this guy?!"
Another robot emerges from the remains to pursue the duo. This robot is roughly the same size as the standard flying variant, but sports a slightly different design and instead travels on a single wheel. It is equipped with two tire-shredding blades. This one is destroyed by Tom, angering Robotnik.
"Aww! This one is cute! Let's keep him!"
A tiny helicopter robot pops out of the remains and picks up the chase. Arguably the most destructive out of all four, this one is armed with a laser capable of cutting through steel, and proceeds to surgically remove the top half of the truck before Sonic snaps it in half. In a last-ditch effort, the robot's eye becomes a sticky bomb and attaches itself to Sonic's glove. Although they are able to remove the bomb, Sonic is rendered unconscious by the explosion.
Robotnik's Mobile Lab
Additionally, Robotnik's entire mobile laboratory is transported by an automated, jet-black tractor trailer.
