— Fixit the Robot, Sonic Universe #64

Fixit the Robot is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is an ancient robot and an Angel Island inhabitant.

Appearance

Fixit's appearance is extremely similar to Emerl, in terms of his orange and yellow armor and the triangular pattern of circles on his chest. However, Fixit has a head fixture resembling a hat more than a fin, and his eyes are green orbs while Emerl's were blue ovoids. Fixit has dark orange upper arms and shoulders that are much thinner than his cone-like forearms, which are a shade of yellow except for orange rings at his elbows and wrists. He has yellowish hands with two fingers and a thumb, and in place of legs he has a cone-like aperture of matching color. His chest is also more box-like than Emerl's, and he sports a large square container on his back that is dark orange marked with an alternating yellow and black strip. This container has a large curved bar on top of it, and serves to carry Fixit's various tools.

History

Past

Fixit was discovered by Relic the Pika at some point, and the archaeologist made a determined effort to discover the origins of her ancient assistant.

The Great Chaos Caper

While the world below was torn asunder, Fixit attempted (and failed) to decipher the user interface for an ancient computer database in the Launch Base Zone for Relic. While she struggled to decode the data herself, Fixit informed that Relic the Pika had arrived. With Knuckles entrusting the Master Emerald to Relic while he searched for the Chaos Emeralds, Fixit remained on Angel Island to support her.

Relic tried to work with the computer again, but to no avail. Fixit tried to help her by interfacing himself with the network, but got electrocuted in the process, much to Relic's horror. Fixit tells her that he sensed a strange alien energy coming from the Mushroom Hill Zone. Relic was confused, but decided to investigate, with the plan to run if anyone tries to assault them.

Upon getting there, Fixit detected that the energy readings were low, and Relic discovered a strangely colored plant, and noted the lack of nutrients the soil had. Fixit and Relic decided to collect samples and analyze them at the Flying Battery Wreckage. They leave, unaware that they were being watched.

After Fixit restored the power in the Flying Battery, Relic analyzed the samples with a computer. Fixit reported that the database could not identify these samples, making Relic concerned that these samples were not from their planet.

Total Eclipse

While Tikal took Chip to the Hidden Palace for safety, Fixit and Relic discussed with Knuckles about the Shattered World Crisis, and then saw Team Dark arriving on Angel Island, searching for Eclipse the Darkling and his Dark Arms. They decide to work together and Fixit links up with Omega, (providing an awkward encounter to him). While Knuckles went with Omega and Rouge to find Eclipse's ship, Fixit stayed behind along with Relic, Shadow, and Snively to guard the Master Emerald. Later Eclipse arrives and engages combat with Shadow, while Fixit calls the others about the situation. Eclipse retreats, and Shadow decides to move the Emerald to a G.U.N. facility, but Knuckles fights him. Rouge suggests to wait for them to come back and they watch the Emerald.

Later, Eclipse returns with his Dark Arms and manages to defeat Omega and Rouge. Unable to fight them, Fixit and Relic watch as Eclipse and the Dark Arms get away with the Master Emerald. However, Fixit manages to fix Omega's Chaos Drive back in place, and Rouge calls Shadow and tells them what happened. Fixit and the others head into a hidden control room where they activated the traps to delay Eclipse long enough for Shadow and Knuckles to intercept him. In the process, Knuckles shatters the Master Emerald, but the island stays afloat, and Eclipse gets away with his Dark Arms. Soon, Team Dark departed from the island. Fixit decides to stay on the island with Relic while Knuckles went in search of the Master Emerald shards.

Personality

Fixit is very polite and proper, often addressing others by titles of respect and always offering aid, similar to a butler. He also abhors violence, being designed for repair and assistance. While usually genial, he does not enjoy being antagonized. He also has trouble understanding analogies.

Powers and abilities

Fixit has the ability to levitate, allowing him to move in midair. He is a well-equipped mechanic, as shown by his ability to repair damage done to Omega. He also has the ability to interface with other machines, it is not without limitations, as shown when , as shown by his inability to properly connect with the post-Eggman affected systems in the Launch Base Zone.

Trivia

• Fixit's name is a combination between the words "fix" and "it."
• Despite the realignment of comic continuity to better match that which was established in the games, Fixit's existence appears to contradict information given in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood which state that all Gizoids except Emerl were banished to the Twilight Cage.
  • This may imply that Fixit is not a proper Gizoid at all. This is supported by his design which is not meant for combat, his lack of interest in power, and his inability to form "Links."
• Ian Flynn has implied that Relic found Fixit on Angel Island.
