Revision as of 22:11, 16 December 2010
Robotnik beginning the process in issue #21 by turning into an egg.
"Regeneration"[note 1] is a process by which Doctor Ivo Robotnik was able to completely transform himself in the comic series Sonic the Comic. By encasing himself in a giant egg, Robotnik experienced a complete physical makeover, including both his physical appearance and his clothing. This even extended to the transformed Robotnik wearing gloves, whereas he had not been wearing any before.
The metamorphisis is apparently performed at will, but was used only once during the series, as a means of updating Robotnik's design from his original games design to the design of Robotnik from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
History
Robotnik finishing the transformation by hatching from the egg in issue #22.
Apparently serving as Robotnik's image consultants, Thomas and Miller noticed that the people didn't like Robotnik and felt he should get a complete make-over. Robotnik kicked them out of his office for suggesting it (even throwing his phone and lamp at them as they fled), because as a merciless, power-crazed dictator he didn't care whether people liked him or not. Nevertheless, Robotnik decided that his current body had "served its purpose" and that it was time for a change, leading him to encase himself in a giant egg.[1] He soon emerged, completely transformed and feeling rejuvenated ("more powerful... more deadly... more rotten than ever!"), although when Sonic saw Robotnik's new appearance he told Robotnik that he should "stop takin' those ugly pills!"[2]
Process
The process begins with Robotnik generating a barrier around himself which will become egg like and give off green fumes.[1] When the transformation is complete, Robotnik will break the shell to hatch out of the egg in his new form.[2]
While he will have a new body, his signature traits such has his dark eyes, obesity, baldness and a big ginger mustache will remain although different with the rest of his body.
Notes
- ↑ The transformation process was never named during the series, although both Robotnik and Grimer alluded to Robotnik's "changing". The name 'regeneration' is used in reference to the Regeneration ability of Time Lords in the long-running British TV series, Doctor Who.
