The Stealthbot[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog television series. It is a mass-produced, aircraft-based robot created by Dr. Robotnik.

Appearance[]

Stealthbots have gray-brown armor with red accents. They are as well shaped like flat jets with two wide wings on their sides. Their armaments are mounted on the front and protrude as two long and thin cannons. On their left side they have a torpedo that can be fired, and on the right side they have a laser cannon and heat sensor.

History[]

TV series[]

Season one[]

Satam Sonic Boom 127

A Stealthbot flying through Robotropolis.

One time, Sonic and Sally broke into the Stealthbots' hangar in Robotropolis to sabotage the Stealthbots. However, the heroes ended up intercepting a message left by the King in Ironlock Prison and decided to investigate it. Dr. Robotnik soon after ordered a Stealthbot be sent to the Dark Swamp to destroy Sonic after deducing that the hedgehog was heading that way. Upon arriving there, the Stealthbot fired its self-guided missile at Sonic. However, Sonic managed to escape the missile and redirect it back at the Stealthbot, causing it to be destroyed by its own missile. Later Sonic, Sally and Antoine returned to the Stealthbots' hangar and sabotaged all the Stealthbots. When Robotnik later sent those Stealthbots after Sonic and his friends, they were automatically destroyed.[2] When Dr. Robotnik's Sky Spy later detected an electromagnetic signal in the Great Forest, Dr. Robotnik ordered a Stealthbot to be sent to the Great Forest to investigate this signal. However, Sonic and Rotor set up a trap for the Stealthbot in the form of two poles through which a stream of electricity passed. Getting hit by this electricity, the Stealthbot began crashing, tearing through Sonic and Rotor's two poles in the process before falling into a lake. After the Sky Spy was destroyed, Robotnik ordered Snively to recall a second Stealthbot who was searching the Great Forest for Knothole Village.[1]

A squadron consisting of three Stealthbots later accompanied Dr. Robotnik and Snively on their hunt for the Terapods, who had fled into the Great Jungle with the Knothole Freedom Fighters. With the help of their heat scanners, the Stealthbots detected a herd of Terapods and began to shoot at them. Later, they tried to shoot down Sonic, who was trying to break the cage that Dr. Robotnik had locked Momma T in. They did not succeed, however, and the Knothole Freedom Fighters and Terapods ultimately escaped. Later, the Stealthbots found Sonic calling out to them. As they chased him though, the Stealthbots flew into a field filled with Scorch Plants and were torn into pieces by the deadly plants.[3]

Season two[]

No Brainer 238

A squadron of Stealthbots having been sent out to destroy Knothole Village.

A squadron consisting of four Stealthbots was eventually sent by Snively to destroy Knothole Village after Snively discovered the village's location. However, these Stealthbots' attack was canceled by Charles and Sally after they gave them Dr. Robotnik's password for canceling their mission.[4] Later, a group of Stealthbots were involved in prosecuting Sonic at Drood Henge.[5]

Personality[]

No Brainer 211

Stealthbots during takeoff.

Being more drones than sentient machines, the Stealthbots show no form of individuality or free will. They usually wait in their hangars and will only fly off when they receive an order.[2] Also, while they are able to communicate, they only respond to the orders or commands of their commanders.[4]

Powers and abilities[]

Stealthbots can fly at altitudes above twenty feet. They come equipped with heat scanners that allow them to detect living organisms and can fire both laser shots and self-guiding missiles.[2][3] They also have built-in flashlights.
