Roboticization Post-SGW

Bunnie having undergone partial roboticization, from Sonic Super Digest Special Edition #9.

Roboticization is a subject that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is the process by which an organic creature is converted into a robotic being. This is usually accomplished by a Roboticizer; the reversal of the process is simply called deroboticization.

Description[]

Physically speaking, the process of roboticization converts living tissue into machinery: all body parts are transformed into mechanical equivalents. Due to the transformation, roboticized subjects typically possess increased strength, extra features and other abilities, as in the cases of Bunnie D'Coolette.[1]

Roboticized beings-at least when made so by Eggman-lost all free will and independent thought, and became solely subservient to the evil doctor. While Eggman enjoyed the obedience displayed by these subjects, even he would admit that they were somewhat lacking in terms of original idea and personality.[2]

History[]

Sir Charles the Hedgehog developed the roboticization process to save lives, particularly from life-threatening injuries or conditions. It took him some time to develop, and unfortunately was not viable in time to save the life of Nikki. However, he was able to use it to save the life of Bunnie Rabbot, who suffered grave injuries during the Eggman Invasion.[1][3]

Dr. Eggman would later usurp the roboticization process for his own twisted ends, using it to turn Mobians into obedient slaves to serve him as laborers and troops.[4] However, by some means the process appears to have been at some point rendered ineffective, though the possibility of it becoming viable again remained a source of fear for Eggman's underlings, such as Egg Boss Axel the Water Buffalo.[2][5]

In the version of reality altered by the second Genesis Wave, Eggman, with the aid of Dr. Wily, employed a slightly altered method of roboticization which turned victims into robots modelled with robotics technology from Wily's native alternate reality of Earth in the year 20XX. The two scientists captured Sonic's circle of friends and had them undergo the procedure, the with the new group of brainwashed heroes christened the "Roboticized Masters".[6][7][8][9][10] None of the new "masters" proved a match for Sonic and his new ally Mega Man however, who were both able to defeat and restore each of them to normal with the Sonic Shot (Tails-as Tails Man-was restored to his original self before even the final member of the original group, Rouge Woman, was created).[11][12][13][14]

Eventually, Dr. Eggman came up with a new approach to Roboticization. This version of the process is still highly experimental, so Maw the Thylacine and his Egg Army unit were given the task of running many tests on at least one unlucky individual using it.[15]

List of known roboticized subjects[]

Trivia[]

  • The roboticization process is somewhat similar to how Dr. Eggman kidnaps Animals in order to use them as power sources for his Badniks within the main continuity. However, unlike the process of roboticization, the animals are not turned into robots but rather are just used as power sources to fuel them.
    • Despite this, there have been some sources early on that incorrectly stated that the Animals that Dr. Eggman captures are turned into Badniks, despite the fact that the Animals are only used to power the Badniks.
    • Ironically enough, the roboticization process was actually never used by Dr. Eggman to create any of his Badniks.
