The Race Bots is a group that appears in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. They are a group of vehicle-like robots designed and programmed by Ivo Robotnik to destroy the racers, including Sonic, Tails and Professor Caninestein, and win the 10,000 Mobium prize money in the Mobius 5000 race. Like most of Robotnik's loyal robots, they aim to please their creator and desire personal recognitions.
The Bots
Scraper
Scraper is a bulldozer-type robot who shows off his power by flattening Wallace A. Ditso and his car. He follows Robotnik's plan B. which was to cause an avalanche on Sonic, Tails and Professor Caninestein. Scraper would have been successful if the three heroes were not saved by Scratch and Grounder out of jealousy for the Race Bots. Sonic makes a sign saying shortcut to finish line. Hoping to win the race and receive all the glory, Scraper followed the danger sign which really lead him off a cliff.
Scorpion
Scorpion was given plan A. which was to distribute tacks on the road to stop Sonic. Sonic blows the tacks back on him. Scorpion then shocks Sonic's car with his long stinging tail. Sonic drives under a power line and Scorpion follows. Scorpion's tail touches the wires and he gets electrocuted, causing him to fall apart. Scorpion also speaks in a tough Australian accent.
Speedo
Robotnik tells Speedo to drag race with Sonic in Chemical Plant Zone. Using sharp tire spikes, Speedo knocks the heroes into toxic chemicals. Sonic and company make a comeback and buzz sliced Speedo in half. Both halves fall into the corrosive chemicals. note: his name is a pun on the sportswear company of the same name (Speedo).
Ex-Moto
Ex-Moto is a motor scooter robot with a number of gadgets. At the start of the race he squirts Sonic's tires with blue glue, giving the hero a bad start. After the other three race bots are defeated, Robotnik tells Ex-Moto to forget Sonic and win the race. Ex-Moto uses his suction cup tires to drive over the traffic in Casino Night Zone. Sonic catches up through the Special Zone and jumps on top of Ex-Moto. Holding onto his head, Sonic controls the robot and makes him crash.[1]
Trivia
- Currently, Scraper is the only Race Bot who was not technically destroyed. He simply fell off a cliff and got trapped in the ice while the other Race Bots were completely destroyed.
