Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Dr. Eggman and Sonic, from Sonic Adventure.
Sonic the Hedgehog is Dr. Eggman's sworn arch-nemesis,[14][4][15][16] and his eternal rival.[17][18][14] The two met either during[19] or before[13] the South Island incident, with the hedgehog having crushed the doctor's plans for world conquest since then. Because of this, the one thing Eggman dislikes most is Sonic,[6][11] having made it his sworn goal to destroy his nemesis with his scientific prowess.[14] If their relationship can be described with a single word, it is hostile,[20] but explaining it properly is surprisingly difficult.[13] One thing is for sure, though: Sonic, who has crushed each and every one of Eggman's plans, is no longer the only thing the doctor has in mind for his plans of conquest. If he wants to conquer the world, he has concluded that he has to defeat Sonic first. However, while he does not want to go out of his way to find the hedgehog and duel him, Eggman seems to be somewhat enjoying himself while toying with Sonic when he shows up at a crucial moment in his plan.[13]
From Eggman's point of view, Sonic can be described as an "annoying, impertinent, and hateful hedgehog" who always thwarts his great plans.[21][22] Even though he has made it clear that his goal is to conquer the world, his dearest wish is actually to defeat his nemesis.[3] As such, the doctor despises the mere sight of the hedgehog,[13] as well as his speed,[22] and if there is anything for him to be happy about, it is when he can attack him unilaterally.[13] Eggman's obsession with defeating Sonic reaches such extents that, by the time of the Chaos incident, he already had nightmares of the hedgehog that filled him with dread,[16] and his repeated defeats in the hands of his adversary may have even driven him insane later on, as seen by his maniacal celebrations whenever he thinks that he will reign victorious that have disturbed his own past counterpart.[23] However, despite their opposing goals and rivalry, it is implied that somehow, deep down, the doctor may even have a certain fondness for his nemesis and his determination.[4][24][25]
Sonic teases his adversary a lot, being the one who gave Dr. Robotnik the nickname "Eggman", due to his body shape being an obvious target for criticism.[26][27][28] Conversely, it is rare that the doctor will ever taunt the hedgehog back, unless he holds the proverbial cards. On the other hand, the two are the kind of adversaries that take each other on not only in battles, but also when it comes to verbal exchanges such as insults and witty quips; when Eggman insults Sonic, the latter always has a witty retort ready, and the sarcastic banter between the two is always a highlight of every conflict between them.[13]
Dr. Eggman first fought against Sonic's younger self, Classic Sonic, during the Time Eater incident in an effort to erase him. He later re-encountered him during the War to Take Back the Planet. However, during that time, it was heavily implied that he considered Classic Sonic to be more of a nuisance than a true threat to him, especially compared to his Modern counterpart; when encountering him, he dismissed him as not being worth his time and tried to disengage him before ultimately fighting him, while by contrast he scolded Infinite for letting Modern Sonic live during their encounter at Mystic Jungle. He does, however, acknowledge that Classic Sonic has "a lot of nerve."

Eggman holds a complete disregard for Sonic's life, celebrating the latter's supposed death during the Space Colony ARK incident in cold blood.[29] He expressed similar elation when learning that the hedgehog's cyber corruption from saving his friends and Eggman himself during the Starfall Islands incident left him trapped in half-dimensions, expressing that his only true regret towards Sonic's fate was that he could not personally finish him off before then.[30] By the time of the War to Take Back the Planet, his hatred of the hedgehog had grown to the extent that he created an invincible weapon of destruction to deal back all the defeats his nemesis inflicted on him. Nonetheless, he does retain at least some grudging respect for his adversary,[31][32] being "man enough" to recognize that a purely organic creature like him being able to reach Mach 1 is a very impressive feat in itself.[33] He will also reluctantly aid Sonic when push comes to shove if an even greater threat emerges, though he has made it very clear he only does this out of desperation and would not wish to align himself with him otherwise, even if it ensured he could escape.[34][35] Owing to this as well as his pride, he is also willing to spin the alliance in a way that allows him to make it fall under his terms, such as claiming Sonic to be inducted into the Eggman Empire.[36]

Possessing a great dislike for Sonic, Eggman has stubbornly returned time and time again to work towards the goal of making Sonic suffer and ensuring his demise.[37] At the same time however, Eggman is not out to simply destroy Sonic, which he claims he can do at any time he wants, as he believes that is not enough, nor the point of their feud. Rather, he wants to beat him and prove himself the superior to the hedgehog before trying to outright vanquish him. He similarly believes that he alone is entitled to destroy Sonic, and gets especially angry when someone else tries to snatch that victory away from him.[38]
While they usually duke it out on the battlefield, Eggman has also tried to mess with Sonic's head on a few occasions; during the Metal Virus plague, he tried to convince him that he had contributed to the mutation of the Metal Virus through his resistance. He also believed that even though Sonic refused to let Eggman's comment get to him, he had sowed a seed of doubt in him. He would later admit that despite their alliance to stop the Metal Virus, they never stopped being enemies, nor would they ever stop being it. Notably, Eggman only works with Sonic when his own life is at stake.[39] Eggman also claims that the two of them are not that much different, namely that they have their own styles that they will not change their ways. The only difference, however, is that Sonic is good and Eggman is evil.[40]
Miles "Tails" Prower[]
Miles "Tails" Prower is another one of Eggman's worst enemies. The two first met during the West Side Island incident, where the fox aided Sonic during his quest to defeat the doctor. However, they did not interact with each other a lot since then. This changed during the Chaos incident, where Tails managed to stop Dr. Eggman from destroying all of Station Square on his own. Since then, they have had a few moments of interaction with each other.
Dr. Eggman saving Tails from a controlled Cubot, from Sonic Lost World.
Notably, Tails has been one of the very few that were able to match Eggman in intellect, which is the source of their rivalry; from the doctor's point of view, despite his own narcissism, his adversary is a person to be respected for his keen mind and potential. However, he appears to dislike that the fox wastes all of that staying around with Sonic all the time. Due to this, he can easily deduce that he is going to appear after the hedgehog does. Regardless, Eggman prefers it this way, because of the trouble Tails has given him in previous crises.[41] His admiration towards his enemy was best displayed when they and Sonic teamed up during the Lost Hex incident to defeat the Deadly Six, where the villain even rescued his adversary from being killed by a rogue Cubot, despite being a target of his insults, and when the fox got captured, the doctor said that he and the hedgehog needed to make sure that "his sacrifice was not for nothing" in a low somber voice. On a similar note, at the end of the Space Colony ARK incident, the two geniuses had a conversation after the defeat of the Finalhazard. It is also clear Eggman may have some value for Tails in the Lost Hex incident as shown by his somber tone during the sacrifice Talis made and him saving Tails' life from Cubot.
In spite of all that, Tails himself has been a target from Eggman's insults as well, the latter mockingly calling him a "two-tailed fox"[42] or "fox boy". Additionally, the doctor has no trouble in intimidating the fox with death threats or even attempting to kill him if that means advancing his own plans as well.
Knuckles the Echidna[]
Dr. Eggman and Knuckles during the Angel Island incident, from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
Knuckles the Echidna is another one of Eggman's enemies, though this was different when they first met during the Angel Island incident. Here, the doctor, days after having had his Death Egg crash-landed on Angel Island, encountered the echidna at the Altar of Emerald in the Hidden Palace. When Knuckles attempted to attack Eggman, the latter begged him for mercy and falsely told him that Sonic and Tails were after the Chaos Emeralds for evil purposes. Easily fooled by the doctor's lies, Knuckles formed a partnership with him to prevent the heroes from disrupting his operations.[43][44] However, Eggman eventually revealed his true intentions to Knuckles by stealing the Master Emerald following Knuckles defeat by Sonic in Hidden Palace Zone. As Knuckles noticed he had been deceived, he befriended Sonic and Tails and helped them defeat the doctor.
Ever since, Knuckles has become a hindrance in Eggman's side.[45] The doctor himself has referred to the echidna as a "knucklehead".[46] However, he does appear to show admiration towards Knuckles' power, and even said he truly was "a force to be reckoned with".
Amy Rose[]
Eggman does not think too much about Amy Rose. In the rare occasions they interacted, the doctor merely found her to be an easy pawn in his plans, using her to manipulate Sonic to ensure her safety. This extended to the Eggman persona used by Neo Metal Sonic, that found Team Rose to be an eyesore and condescendingly treated them like children.[47] By the time of the Starfall Islands incident, however, the villain would acknowledge her as a clever, tenacious girl that has grown from her earlier days as an easy victim. He nevertheless thought she had a potential incapable to reach if she kept following Sonic.[48]
Metal Sonic[]
Metal Sonic returns to Doctor Eggman with a flower
Metal Sonic is one of Eggman's favorite inventions,[49] whom he has described as his masterpiece that only his superior intellect could create.[50] The doctor created Metal before the Little Planet incident with extreme accuracy to Sonic[51] for the sole purpose of defeating his nemesis with speed and power surpassing the hedgehog's own.[52][45][53][54][55] Even though the robot lost to Sonic during that incident, the doctor did not lose faith in him, and has since rebuilt him several times to accomplish his various agendas, even to the point of summoning the original back from Little Planet at the midst of the Death Egg mk.II incident. This is due to Metal Sonic's sophisticated and wasteful design, which Eggman is very proud of.[49] On one occasion, Eggman abandoned Metal after he was damaged, but he later took the robot back in once he appeared at his door holding a flower.[56]
In most of the incidents Metal Sonic was involved, he was just another one of Eggman's pawns and henchmen who obeyed his orders without question.[57][58] In time, however, Eggman got betrayed by Metal Sonic during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, where the robot seized the Eggman Empire for himself to rule the world and destroy Sonic himself. It was heavily implied that Eggman regretted this outcome, as he proceeded to answer Team Chaotix's interrogation of who locked him up with a saddened tone. However, Eggman did not give up on Metal Sonic even after that, and so reprogrammed him into his obedient servant again when regaining possession of him. Although Metal Sonic still displays rebellious tendencies, it has not stopped Eggman from using him for different missions.
Eggman regaining his memories upon seeing Metal Sonic, from Sonic the Hedgehog #12.
Eggman is very proud of Metal Sonic and seems to have a degree of affection, that sometimes seems paternal, that he shows to no one else. No matter how many times Metal Sonic is damaged and defeated after fighting Sonic and his friends, Eggman always repairs him thereafter, expressing anger at Sonic for damaging Metal and taking it as an act of disrespect to his creation and praising him for at least landing a blow on him.[37] Indeed, Metal regards Eggman as a father figure whom he loves unconditionally and wishes to receive approval from[59] despite their past troubles.[60][56] Having great use for Metal Sonic, Eggman planned to make him Neo Metal Sonic again and have him serve as his ultimate weapon during the Eggman War.[61] Despite Metal Sonic's defeat and moving on from it, Eggman acknowledged how close he got to victory without his brilliant guidance. It was seeing a damaged Metal Sonic that restored the Doctor to his true self after suffering from amnesia.[37] While Metal is obligated to protect Eggman[62] and enters a defensive mode when with him,[59] he did seem annoyed when he needed to leave a battle with Sonic in order to help his creator.[62]
Fang the Hunter[]
In the past the doctor would hire Fang the Hunter and his gang on a few occasions, mainly to find the Chaos emeralds or to distract sonic and his friends. But Eggman generally respects fang's thought to willing work for him. When Eggman first met him, Fang was used to distract sonic but tries to double cross the doctor by trying to keep the emeralds to himself for profit. This fails and ever since then the doctor has used him on many tasks and missions. He mainly uses Fang for his expert hunting skills and quick thinking.
E-102 Gamma[]
E-102 Gamma was the second model of the E-100 Series robots built by Dr. Eggman during the Chaos incident in order to aid him in the destruction of Station Square.[63] From the start, it was obvious that the doctor held a lot of respect towards Gamma, and always praised him and treated him very well, specially when compared to the insults and abuse directed towards his enemies and the other E-100 Series robots.[64][65] Nevertheless, it was implied that Gamma was being used by Eggman as just another robot to serve his evil plans.[66][67] Also, Eggman did not know that Gamma betrayed him after the Egg Carrier fell into the ocean, and it was implied that he was not aware of the fact that the robot was responsible for the destruction of the other E-100 Series robots either.[68] Due to this, he appeared to mantain his respect for Gamma following the Chaos incident, and has even built other robots in his image.
Shadow the Hedgehog[]
Eggman discovering that Shadow is his grandfather's creation, from Sonic Adventure 2.
Shadow the Hedgehog is another one of Eggman's enemies. Their relationship mainly comes from the fact that the black hedgehog was created by the doctor's own grandfather, Gerald Robotnik.[20] The two first met during the Space Colony ARK incident, in which Eggman was after Shadow because he was stated as the "Ultimate Lifeform" which could help him conquer the world. As such, he raided G.U.N.'s military bunker[27] on Prison Island and released Shadow from his capsule. At first, Eggman thought that Shadow was Sonic, but then he realized that the hedgehog merely looked like his rival. He also ordered Shadow to work for him, steal all seven Chaos Emeralds, and to keep Sonic out of the way so that he would not foil his plans. However, everyone was shocked when they realized that Shadow was created to kill everyone on earth, even Eggman himself.
After this incident, when Shadow was thought to have died, Eggman sent one of his robots to rescue him. However, while not one of Sonic's closest allies, the black hedgehog has come to be another thorn in the doctor's side over time.[27] During the Black Arms incident in particular, Eggman falsely told an amnesiac Shadow that he was his own creation, but he ultimately ended up admitting at the end that this was not true. Though they still appear to be enemies whenever the doctor is the villain, Eggman does have great faith on Shadow's capabilities whenever they encounter a greater threat.[69] This was specially evident during both the Onyx Island incident and the Ifrit incident, where the two teamed up since they both sought to defeat Eggman Nega.
In the prelude to the War to Take Back the Planet, as well as during the war itself, Shadow and Eggman were portrayed as complete enemies. The doctor in particular seemed scorned by the hedgehog, just like he would be with Sonic, and called him a "blasted hedgehog".
Despite being enemies, Eggman secretly does respect the hedgehog, even considering him to truly be the "Ultimate Lifeform"[70]
Gerald Robotnik[]
Dr. Eggman had immense respect for his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, who likewise acted as the reason why he desired to become a scientist. However, his respect for his grandfather was shaken somewhat after learning of Gerald's irrational desire of destroying all life on the planet via a collision course from the Space Colony ARK due to insanity caused by grief from Maria's death. His admiration was even further decreased when he learned from Black Doom that his grandfather had sold out the Earth to the Black Arms in exchange for completing Project Shadow. However, much of his respect for his grandfather was regained when he learned about Gerald's intention of wiping out the Black Arms with the Eclipse Cannon as atonement for collaborating with them. It is implied that his reason for becoming evil in the first place was due to him seeing his grandfather’s execution as a great injustice.
Maria Robotnik[]
Dr. Eggman never knew Maria Robotnik, as he wasn't born until after her untimely death.[citation needed] According to his memos while in Cyber Space, he appears to hold resentment towards his cousin due to the fact that people around him gave more praise and attention to her long after her passing. Decades later, Eggman's appreciation for his latest creation, Sage, reached further than any other creation that came before. The doctor briefly wondered if his daughter was anything at all like his late cousin, thinking about her for possibly the first time since starting his campaign.[71]
Despite not knowing her, Eggman stated he took her death at the hands of G.U.N. personally to some extent but never enough to distract him from growing his empire and achieve total domination.[72]
Emerl[]
Eggman upset with the Gizoid for not obeying his commands, from Sonic Battle.
Eggman learned of the existence of the Gizoid through his grandfather's documents, and was more than willing to go to acquire him for another scheme to conquer the earth. At first, however, he was very disappointed after seeing that the robot could not obey his orders and did not return his Chaos Emerald. As such, the doctor threw the Gizoid away at the beach near Emerald Town, as he developed the more loyal E-121 Phis and did not need the robot anymore.[74][75] He would come to regret having done this however, seeing that his first Phis severely underperformed against Rouge.[76]
Later on, Eggman would make multiple attempts to seize the Gizoid, now known as "Emerl" and having befriended Sonic and his friends, to attach him to the Final Egg Blaster for a plan to conquer the world.[77] As expected, however, many of his endeavors were in vain. Eventually, the doctor, after learning that Emerl had obtained the seven Chaos Emeralds, plotted to lure the robot to the new Death Egg and put him under his control.[78] By falsely surrendering to Emerl, Eggman succeeded, noticing how gullible the robot was due to him being raised by Sonic and his friends.[73] However, this led to Emerl going rogue and threatening to use the Final Egg Blaster to destroy the earth.[79] Fortunately, the robot was stopped by Sonic before being destroyed, putting an end to Eggman's plans.
E-123 Omega[]
Eggman created E-123 Omega as the final model in his E-100 Series. Once regarded as his strongest robot, Omega became wayward and began to oppose Eggman and everything he created, namely by taking his anger out on all his robots. Due to this, Eggman continually began to treat Omega as one of his many enemies. Omega always makes it clear how much he wants to destroy Eggman. In contrast, the doctor treats Omega quite dismissively and does not see him as a particular threat.[80][81][82][83]
Blaze the Cat[]
Blaze the Cat has been another one of Eggman's enemies. The two first met right before the Sol Emerald incident, where the doctor went to the Sol Dimension to steal the Sol Emeralds from her.[84][85] For the rest of that incident, Eggman would occasionally encounter Blaze on earth in Sonic's universe and battle her, only to lose in all of their fights and be forced to give up a Sol Emerald. They later interacted during the Jeweled Scepter incident, where they displayed a similar rivalry.
Like Eggman Nega, Eggman does not seem to take Blaze very seriously, and would mock her during the Sol Emerald incident.[85] He also showed an evident lack of fear towards her, stating that her fire powers "did not scare him"[86] and calling her a "cat girl" during their first encounter on Sonic's world.[85] However, the doctor eventually acknowledged the cat's powers and boldness, mainly because they refuted his idea that girls could not be as strong as boys.[87]
Eggman Nega[]
Eggman has a rather cold and tense relationship with his distant descendant from the future,[88][89][90] Eggman Nega, though this has varied over time. It can be assumed that this turbulent relation comes from Eggman Nega's conviction that Eggman's failures in the hands of Sonic and his friends have disrupted his family's legacy,[91][88][89] which is the main reason why Nega has come to Sonic's world so many times.[88][89] Nonetheless, Eggman Nega's dryness allows him to easily team up with Eggman when the two have a common goal in mind,[89] though it has been implied that Eggman Nega is the one who seeks Eggman out in the first place when they begin a collaboration.[92][93] Also, the two are always in nearly perfect synch when they work together and hardly ever argue over what they should do during their schemes, showing that they share a similar mindset. However, because of Nega's total refusal to retreat and willingness to make deadly attacks to deny his enemies' victory,[90] he has more homicidal tendencies than Eggman, which tend to freak his ancestor out.[94] Additionally, Eggman Nega's babbling on battle has frustrated Eggman on a few occasions.[95]
When they are not collaborating, Eggman Nega is usually Eggman's enemy. Noticeably, during the Onyx Island incident, Nega turned his ancestor into a card and took over the Eggman Empire to avenge his constant defeats and restore his family's reputation in the future.[91] Similarly, during the Ifrit incident, Eggman was very panicked when he found out that Eggman Nega took over his Badniks to destroy his base. In both of these incidents, the doctor has not hesitated in cooperating with those who also opposed Nega, even if those were his enemies beforehand.[96]
Orbot and Cubot[]
Eggman with Orbot and Cubot, from Sonic Channel.
Orbot and Cubot have been Eggman's minions for some time before the Wisp incident.[97] However, out of all of the robots the doctor has made, Orbot and Cubot are the ones he shows the least respect for, having even expressed his wish to conquer the world so he could dispose of them during the Wisp incident.[98] Ultimately, he did end up abandoning them after discovering the Time Eater during its incident,[23] but the two returned to his services at the time of the Lost Hex incident.
Due to Eggman's intolerance on incompetence and failure, Orbot and Cubot have been commonly subjected to both verbal and physical abuse from the doctor, with Eggman having called them "useless"[99] and wishing they could make him proud of them instead of frustrating him.[100] Because of this, he reacts with surprise and confusion when he sees the two working hard to make him feel better.[68] However, in some sense, this can be owed to the fact that Eggman only created them to kill some time rather than with a firm purpose,[50] which is what makes them "unique" compared to the doctor's past minions.[101]
Orbot and Cubot are Dr. Eggman's aide robots, who serve as his foremost assistants and servants. Despite showing Eggman nothing but loyalty and faithfulness though, Eggman, in contrast to Metal Sonic, often mistreats them, both emotionally, physically, and verbally. In fact, nothing cheers Eggman more up than threatening to dismantle Orbot and Cubot.[37]
As Mr. Tinker, Eggman promised to take care of Orbot and Cubot and not let them hurt. He even argued that only a soulless monster could program them with emotions and then abuse them for it.[37]
The Deadly Six[]
Eggman being threatened by the Deadly Six's leader, Zavok, from the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World.
The Deadly Six are some of Eggman's worst enemies. The doctor first interacted with them during the Lost Hex incident, where he invaded the Zeti's home and enslaved them with the Cacophonic Conch in an attempt to conquer the earth. During this time, Eggman appeared to show very little remorse and respect for them, usually sending them to do tasks almost constantly and punishing them with the Cacophonic Conch whenever they failed to satisfy him. After the Deadly Six rebelled against Eggman, the doctor showed a great resentment towards them, as they had decided to use the Extractor, which Eggman wanted to use for his own purposes, to avenge the doctor for having abused them. In fact, at the Frozen Factory, when Zavok and Zazz mocked Eggman, Sonic and Tails on a hologram, the doctor called them "Eggman wannabes" and threatened to destroy them and everyone they love while speaking in a serious tone.[102]
Despite his hatred for the Deadly Six, Eggman did form an alliance with Zavok during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix. Like during the Lost Hex incident though, the doctor showed very little respect for the Zeti, calling him "pathetic" and "weak" when he disappointed him.[103] He similarly refused to listen to Zavok, specially whenever he pointed out the doctor's poor execution of his plans.[104]
Despite this, Eggman is ready to go hunting the Deadly Six on his own, especially their leader, Zavok. He is ready to destroy even one of his bases in order to get rid of just one of them.[105][106][83][107]
Badniks[]
The Badniks are Eggman's robotic minions. Although he usually treats them as expendable soldiers for his attempts at conquest and will not hesitate to threaten them with overwriting their circuits when they do something without his approval, Eggman has a (secret) soft spot for them, having admitted their company is "adequate". He especially takes some notable pride in Badniks like Heavy King who can rise above and beyond their intended purpose, as he sees it as testaments to how amazing his own genius is. Also, though Eggman is eternally irritated by how his Badniks keep attempting to celebrate his birthday despite telling them not to waste time on such nonsense, he nonetheless appreciates the devotion they show him.
Infinite[]
Infinite was one of Eggman's minions. The two first met months before the War to Take Back the Planet, when Infinite and his squad raided the doctor's base. During this, the Phantom Ruby let Eggman see Infinite's ideal vision of the world. Impressed, Eggman offered Infinite a place in the Eggman Empire, which the latter agreed to.[108] After Infinite lost to Shadow in a failed attempt at defending Eggman's facility, Eggman, mostly to have an "invincible weapon of destruction" to use against Sonic for his latest plans, proceeded to subject Infinite to a procedure that bonded him with the finalized Phantom Ruby prototype, with Infinite being all too willing to undergo the procedure to avoid being subject to being weak ever again.
Eggman seemed to respect Infinite's power and trusted him with taking care of Sonic's friends, although he did not agree with most of his actions, such as when he showed concern when Infinite let Sonic live knowing that Sonic would become a threat to his plans in the end.
Dr. Starline[]
Starline and Eggman, from Sonic the Hedgehog #13.
Dr. Starline was a kindred spirit who admired Dr. Eggman's work. He admired his work and cites him as the reason to start his career. It was for this reason that Starline helped Eggman back to his old self when he suffered from amnesia. After regaining his memories, Eggman took little interest in who Starline was or his origins, although he liked that Starline knew his place in the Eggman Empire when he introduced himself to him. As Starline continued to reveal his worth and the measures he had taken to help him however, Dr. Eggman took more interest in him. The moment Starline presented Eggman with the Chaos Emeralds, Eggman had become thoroughly impressed with Starline and accepted him as his new minion, claiming that he was his "best lackey yet".
In no time, Starline quickly became something akin to Eggman's right-hand assistant and protégé. Notably, he assisted him with his experiments involving the Metal Virus. While Starline was happy beyond measure by the possibility of accompanying Eggman in his work, there would be several moments where he had doubts about his boss' plans. Notably, he thought Eggman had abandoned Neo Metal Sonic's plan too quickly and used the Metal Virus too early. However, while Eggman was impressed with Starline's tenacity, he did not respect him enough to care for his opinions on the matters involving his work, his plans for world domination, or his inventions. Eggman saw himself as the superior mind, assuring him that he should trust his genius and making changes to plans when opportunities arise. Eggman's opinion about Starline was later strained when the villainous platypus took measures to kill Sonic himself, a pleasure of which Eggman has reserved to himself alone. As such, he would brutally grab him by the neck to scold him for his attempt on Sonic, and in the "wrong way" no less. In addition, Eggman didn't care much for Starline's compliments or veneration, considering them unnecessary since the platypus already knew he was a genius. However, he did concede they share a similar perspective on the world.
After using the Faceship for the first time, Starline was amazed by Eggman's genius and admitted that he went above and beyond his wildest expectations. Eggman also invited Starline to his private "Eggcave", where he spent his free time planning and relaxing. There, Starline saw a figure of himself as a Zombot, indicating that Eggman had planned to enslave him in the long run. In response, Eggman reacted angrily and ushered Starline outside, and the two never talked about it again.
Eggman fires Starline, from Sonic the Hedgehog #25.
As the Zombot hordes later began growing out of control, Eggman would scoff at Starline's concerns, showing that he has no interest in Starline's viewpoints. Meanwhile. Starline would notice Eggman's carelessness and soon came to the conclusion that his idol did not live up to his reputation. When Starline later brought the Deadly Six to the Faceship, Eggman branded Starline a traitor. He would subsequently blame him for losing access to Faceship after the Deadly Six took it over. When Eggman and Starline were discussing how to control the Zombots, they argued over the Warp Topaz for a while; while Eggman claimed he could use it with the Chaos Emeralds, Starline dismissed the idea, saying it was too dangerous. As such, Eggman began to tolerate Starline less and less. In the end, Starline's apprenticeship was officially terminated after Eggman no longer found him useful. With Metal Sonic, Eggman took the Warp Topaz, fired Starline, and had him thrown off of Angel Island via a Warp Portal he tried to leave through.
Eggman was not able to track Starline since disposing of him, though he still considered him a liability, making his whereabouts as one of his priorities in the aftermath of the Metal Virus plague. He also no longer considered him his assistant or even associated with the Eggman Empire. At the same time, he was unaware of the operations Starline was plotting against him and that they were a part of a larger scheme. Despite all that has happened though, Starline still adored Eggman, but saw his methods as flawed and planned to prove his own methods were superior by conquering the world. Eggman did not see eye-to-eye on Starline's grand vision. During their showdown in Eggperial City though, he admitted to him that he was more cunning than he had anticipated, having now learned of his involvement in Zavok's escape from Everhold Prison. Despite this, Eggman was well-prepared for him: he knew how easy it was to exploit the tunnel-vision Starline had over his past creations. Eggman admitted that he deliberately listened to Starline's boasts about his inventions to take precautions against them in the future. Furthermore, Eggman considered Starline a coward for being unwilling to face him in direct combat, as well as someone who would never be anything else than nothing in comparison to him and rebuked the platypus' idea of them ruling the world together as equals.
Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk[]
Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk were only tools in Eggman's bigger plan. Furthermore, they irritated Eggman with their stupidity, pushiness, and rhyming introductions. Regardless, Eggman agreed to equip them with weapons of his own design twice, as he found their shared hatred for Sonic useful. At the earliest opportunity however, he made them, without their knowledge, guinea pigs for the Metal Virus, even though they had previously played a vital part in Starline's plan to restore his memories and original persona.
Mimic the Octopus[]
In the past, Mimic the Octopus was a member of the Diamond Cutters who opposed his global rule. During the Eggman War, Mimic would commit crimes against the doctor. However, Eggman would forgive him and was ready to let him go when he sold out his group to him. Before he could pardon him, however, he forced him deal with Whisper the Wolf, the last surviving member of the Diamond Cutters, or he would kill him.
When it was revealed that Mimic had lied to Eggman about Whisper's death, Eggman got furious with him and questioned his abilities as an assassin before threatening to send Metal Sonic after him. He also added that Mimic would be on his list of distractions, along with Sonic, if he had not done his job. He was also hardly forgiving of Mimic and demanded hard evidence of the demise of Whisper, who had become an important symbol of hope during the Eggman War and repeatedly tipped the balance of power in favor of the Resistance.
Following Mimic's failure and imprisonment, Eggman kept Mimic in his system, most likely because he was furious that he had failed him again and had wasted an entire Badnik squadron that was supposed to support him. Eventually, however, Mimic was removed from his file, and Eggman had already ceased his interests in him, being preoccupied with more important matters.
Belle the Tinkerer[]
Eggman created Belle when he had amnesia and was known as "Mr. Tinker". She helped him with his workshop endeavors and grew to acknowledge him as her father. Eggman, in return, introduced her to the residents of Windmill Village so that they would not be afraid of her. Eggman likewise loved Belle like a daughter to the very end, and enjoyed seeing her grow, expecting her to become a wonderful woman. When he stood to regain his old persona though, Eggman decided to leave a farewell letter for Belle, fearing that he would soon become Eggman again and forget his love for her.
This relationship, as "Mr. Tinker" expected, permanently ended due to Eggman regaining his memories and returning to his evil ways. Belle does not like this side of him and initially believed that there was still good in him. As such, Belle set out for herself to find Eggman and get answers from him, although she only recognized Mr. Tinker as her creator, and not Eggman. When she finally met Eggman, he recognized his work in her. Though he admitted that Belle was the product of his own innovations, even in a handicapped state, he no longer had any sentiment or affection for her. However, he still spared her a moment of attention, claiming that she deserved a reply from him after taking good care of his alter-ego. To this end, he wanted to convince her of his genius and make her stop loving Tinker and appreciate his current persona instead. When Belle later found him to say farewell to her "father", Eggman, briefly annoyed with her sentiment towards his amnesiac persona. offered Belle to join him, having been positively surprised by her mechanical skills after she had repaired Metal Sonic, but he let her go when she decided to return to her friends. When hunting down her, Sonic, and Tails, Eggman ordered Metal Sonic to bring Belle alive, if possible, as she could be useful.
Sage[]
Eggman and Sage in Cyber Space, from Sonic Channel.
Sage is a very advanced AI created by Dr. Eggman to help him in his latest scheme during the Starfall Islands incident, and one of the few beings to whom he has shown genuine affection and care. As usual, the scientist would be very proud of her for her effectiveness, referring to her as his "greatest creation"[109] and praising her for protecting him from the hostile environment of Cyber Space[110][111] and messing with Sonic on the Starfall Islands. Nevertheless, he would still treat her aggressively when annoyed; noticeably, he angrily rejected her suggestion to team up with his nemesis to escape Cyber Space. However, despite Sage not being a living being or his family, the doctor gradually[112] began seeing his creation as a "very adorable, personable program"[111] and his "daughter",[113] a feeling that was mutual.[114] This even lead to him reluctantly agreeing to help Sonic to make her happy.[115] When Sage supposedly sacrificed herself to save the planet from The End, her death clearly left an impact on Eggman, and he silently grieved. Once the villain realized that she survived, though, he expressed relief, happily calling her "[his] girl". In addition, in the Final Frontier scenario, it's implied that a major motivating factor for Eggman aiding Sonic in delivering the coup de grace against The End was out of anger at the calamitous entity for nearly killing Sage.

"Yuji Naka: Robotnik was created to be the opposite of Sonic, and to be the bad guy. At that time, there was opposition between "developers" and "environmentalists", and Robotnik was created to represent machinery and development. As far as design, Mr. Oshima (the team member in charge of character designs) was trying to create something easy enough so that kids would be able to draw the characters. That's why the rotund character was created."
