Come Join the Eggman Empire! is a short video released by the official Sonic YouTube account in November 2017 to promote the then-upcoming Sonic Forces. The animated video is a short Eggman Empire propaganda film narrated by Dr. Eggman, in which he describes life in his regime.
Check out this amazing video about the benefits of life in the Eggman Empire! As one scientist put it: "The world is a great place under the rule of the benevolent Dr. Eggman! Life has truly never been better!"*

The video starts with an introductory card with the Eggman Empire's insignia and the tagline "It's not what you think!" below. Afterwards, Dr. Eggman begins narrating, offering the viewers a chance to live in a heavily polluted environment. Recognizing that people might be wondering how they would survive without breathing clean air, the scientist tells them of "all-inclusive robotomy treatment", a treatment which comes with the "benefits" of "never having to sleep, eat, or think ever again", which he claims is akin to "living the good life".
Eggman invites the viewers to come live in the Eggman Empire and enjoy their new life, with the possibilities being "infinite". He assures them that they will love their new home, but that love is mandatory. The video ends announcing that Sonic Forces is set to come out on November 7, five days after the release of the short.
The Egg Pawns in this video use their designs from Sonic Forces, and are also heavily implied to be the by-product of the "robotomy treatment" that is described in the short. Whether or not the actual Egg Pawns in the game also come from this process has never been stated.
The robotomy process described in the short has several things in common with the roboticization process that had appeared in Western Sonic spin-offs with a similar setting as the one in Sonic Forces.
