Merge with Robot Butterfly[]

While everyone's been raging over Sonic's movie design, some issues with the Badniks remain. Like this. We all know that Pata-Bata/Robot Butterfly is Hoverby, if you look at the sprites for CD and Knuckles's Chaotix you can see the body and its feelers are the same, but its flight limbs are different. This is unsurprising, given that the rotary propellers are Ian Flynn's favorite design for this Badnik. (I even asked him bout it on Twitter and he's prob still reeling over it:https://twitter.com/wilyg9/status/1120459964739391492) Just think about what was said, and I'll get to Balkiry when I have the chance.Macdawg (talk) 00:29, May 3, 2019 (UTC)]]

We are not changing the names. They have significant differences to be their own articles. Them sharing the Japanese names may be due to the two different development teams coming up with a clever name for a robotic butterfly. Flynn clearly knows the difference as well judging by his usage of the Hoverby Mk II (Archie) and Hoverby. Also, just know that I cannot see your tweet because you have blocked me. You don't need to respond to this but just know why I'm not changing it. DECOOL! (talk) 00:35, May 3, 2019 (UTC)
