#robotnik is a menace

[etzesketch]

Unfortunately stobotnik has taken over my life and @kellterntempest 's vampire stone has stolen the last remaining braincells i had left :)))))))))) beautifully gruesome fic 10/10 //

[marstar13]

Saw these three on Pinterest and immediately thought of my favorite two idiots 👏😭

[technically-human]

I NEED to know if egg can control the badniks.

If so, does that mean Robotnik made him tiny control gloves?

Also pebble definitely deserves a tiny motorcycle (probably a little toy one)

Egg made his own control gloves! He also made the bike for Pebble

ko-fi

POV: Your the unfortunate criminal underling who has to interrogate these assholes.

[granny1232109]

My take on how their designs could possibly look if they were in Cookie Kingdom, just 'cause I started playing

I fr believe Robotnik would just float around on a badnik or smt, i swear

+inverted color bellow the cut >:3

Screaming crying thinking of that trope of human-weapon learning how to be a regular person but with Stobotnik.

Like I love those first meeting fics but can u imagine it with Stone being this total super weapon at first that only knows how to follow super serious orders and be a good lil soldier.

Just for his new boss to be this goofy brilliant man that has funky 80s music blasting in his lab while he dances like LMAO GOD THEY DRIVE ME CRAZY. So basically Stone learns he’s a damn dork himself and they get to be silly together in their lil lab can you hear me sobbing.

Life In the Machine

(docs version)

Running system diagnostics… System diagnostics complete. Displaying results…

Health: GOOD Fullness: 57% Mood: N/A Status: GOOD Diagnostics satisfactory. Booting…

Systems online. Deactivating forced sleep…

From only a short distance away, Dr. Robotnik held her breath, watching with hopeful eyes from behind round glasses as the mechanical arms keeping her creation upright pulled away.

He stood limply, but didn't fall this time. The doctor couldn't help smiling to herself. A small victory. One of many, she hoped.

His fingers moved. Then, his head began to shift, lifting just in time for his eyes to turn on. They slid back and forth on his visor, blinking, expressing light confusion by growing shorter to emulate eyelids. She noticed that they seemed to occasionally flicker like dying lightbulbs.

Dr. Robotnik frowned, noting it down. Hopefully that would be the worst of his problems.

Then, finally, those red-orange eyes would settle on her, staring her down for a long moment.

“Mm… ...Mma…ria…?” Shadow finally rasped through quivering lips, and Maria nearly began crying right then and there.

It had been just over fifty years since she'd heard his voice.

In an instant, she’d dashed forward and came to kneel down at his side, hands on his arms, staring up at Shadow and watching as he processed everything he was seeing and feeling.

“Shadow. It's me.” Maria whispered, “I know a lot has changed, but… it's me. Maria. Your sister.”

Shadow’s eyes expanded. His mouth opened and closed, trying to find the words it wanted to form but failing. He instead looked away, glancing around the lab with flickering eyes before eventually returning to her, taking her in, processing.

“They… shot… me. How…?” Shadow looked down at his body. Or, more accurately, the mechanical facsimile that now housed it. “...What happened to me? How am I… here…?”

“Fifty years of determination, love, and very, very hard work is how.” Maria stood, the smile never leaving her face. In fact, it grew.

She'd done it. He was back.

Oh Poncho, a deep analysis of the green hedgehog’s psyche is exactly what I’m looking for and I will be thrilled for that day when that’s all unleashed. 

I also wonder, only because I see nobody else talking about this, if you can, are you able to share briefly on what did Zobotnik mean by remolding Scourge into a force of good? 

It’s just the way he phrased that, made me think Scourge was going to be USED as a living weapon of some sorts. This is a version of Eggman after all.

And it’s those choice of words that made me had a thought about…,I know IDW and Archie have two different continuities, but Kit’s line from issue 56 comes up because of those kind of intentions. (And people do compare Surge to Scourge a lot, y’know how it goes.) 

“All that matters is what we can do. How can you change us. So you can prove your way is right.” 

While it can be argued how it’s not exactly true in IDW’s case, I think it was gonna be actually true in Scourge’s case had they succeeded in his rehabilitation. It’s not about him becoming a good person or even resolving his clear mental issues. That therapy was “optional”. He’s always been labeled as the Evil or Anti Sonic. Why actually change him? The Zone cops have been shown to leave certain things the way they are even if detrimental for some universal balance.  *issue 197

We just never get to see what these supposed reformed criminals look like, and Zouge’s therapy seems to rarely stick considering how quickly the inmates seem to resort back to their own ways despite months of “progress”. 

I might be looking too deeply and too literally into the lines myself, but still, the implications.

Oh yeah, thanks for the meme btw. 

Personally, I don’t think Zobotnik was ever molding Scourge to be a force of good; I mean, look at the tactics. He basically encouraged other inmates to beat the crap outta scourge until he was mentally broken. That’s not how you rehabilitate someone; that’s how you make someone a soldier, like you said.

What probably messed me up the most about that arc is how close zobotnik got to basically brainwashing him.

I mean, man’s support system was already trash, and he was pushed far enough to not trust the little support he had. If Fiona wasn’t able to talk him out of it (aka boost his ego), he might have been stuck in a baddd situation.

Scourge is also the perfect candidate for that kind of manipulation; he’s got a fragile ego and he can’t handle the kind of humiliation he was going through.

But considering Zobotnik, I have a neat theory… in that arc, you can see a great bit of tension between Zonic and Zobotnik. Zonic is top zone cop, and Zobotnik is just a warden (dude obviously wants more power). Maybe that’s why zobotnik was ‘rehabilitating’ scourge—he was the first alternate sonic that ended up in zone jail and he wanted to use his power to take over. Idk.

God now I’m imagining this as an au.. my brain… scourge in an enerjak like situation would destroy me bro

sonic riders eggman reminds me of wario’s warioware biker outfit

they do look similar! they're similar in a few ways and even more in their biker fits. maybe they could form a biker gang together if they started getting along better than the Olympics games. XD strong fat biker guys hanging out would be fun

[redlikerosesandflowers]

Is my time!

I have a theory that Ivo was send not only to the past but to another planet - Little Planet.

A storybord of another version showed that Chaos Energy has time properties and that exploxion send him (and even Shadow) trough time.

Little Planet would be, thanks to its be time related with the Time Stones, a point of convergence.

Without Stone and wanted to change his past, Eggman would dominate the place, creating Metal from one of Sonic's quills, to take possession of the Times Stones and fix everything and get what he wants.

Creating a possibility of BAD FUTURE if he wins and get the gems.

Menacing Robotnik (for Sherincal, and other stuffs)

[tired-demonspawn]

im working on something else rn but a lil while ago i made a star wars au, so here you go :)

the main idea is written in the corner but imma tldr it(also i dont trust the upload quality of the pic): set in roughly prequel era robotnik used to be a high up republic special weapons group guy and, as a high up military guy, was assigned a jedi bodyguard, that being stone.

once his inventions got a bit too war-crime-y the republic had him jailed and stone (who fell in love with him) breaks him out and they start being weapons dealers

other misc details under the cut

okay so some of these are mentioned in the pic but i wanted to specify/expand/clarify:

stone never really falls to the dark side, that's actually why he couldn't bleed his own crystal (which let's be completely clear he would be willing to do for robotnik), he simply didnt have the hate and pain necessary to do it. he follows robotnik, his devotion and duty to him is what gives him strength in the force(think knights of zakuul)

to go with his brand, also just to show that he could, robotnik made stone a lightsaber with a black market red kyber crystal... smthn smthn your lightsaber is your life...

i went with orange for his original one because

it provides a nice contrast with the rest of his fit

it goes with robotnik's colour scheme

he simply does not have the temperament of a purple lightsaber, i dunno man the vibes are off

for my fourth reason let me present to you a quick clone wars episode concept:

--

(clone wars intro music)(random quote) UNCERTAINTY HAS GRIPPED THE REPUBLIC! the separatists have captured a republic military research vessel along with its scientists and military generals! it is up to only 3 brave jedi to save them.

(i fucked up the tone of the intro guy by the middle, and also i dont really have a 3rd guy i just wrote 3 cuz it seemed like a number they would use)

anyway gimmick clone wars intro aside

robotnik was forced entirely into the military uniform(including non special gloves) for a special scientific military meeting where "even jedi werent allowed" it obviously being a trap robotnik had a few aces up his sleeve, but even so, stone was told to stay on alert, because robotnik was most definitely getting kidnapped.

so when robotnik misses all 3 agreed upon check ins stone contacts the council(hes already somewhere with a lot of jedi, its not just a matter of "he thought it best to report"(and waste precious time that could be spent saving the doctor?) but "he literally cannot take a ship and leave without it raising suspicion"), he basically tells them something like "we cant waste any time arguing, im going. i am closest to the last reported location" so the council sticks 2 more people on him(if it was an actual episode they would most likely be already established, so we could see a "familiar face" interacting with this new character of stone)

anyway they find where did the seps take them because obviously robotnik chipped himself.

with the correct password(that only stone has(not that he knows that hes the only one)) robotnik can be tracked even through hyperspace(not exactly, but it at least gives a general quadrant of space, which ofc after leaving hyperspace gets pin-point accurate)

they get to the base, they sneak around trying to find how to get to the prisoners(because its nice that they have robotniks coordinates to the tenth of a milimetre, but they dont have the base blueprints)

during the dramatic peak of the ep, there's a weirdly menacing moment where the mild mannered jedi knight, that was kinda made fun of the entire episode for being "reduced to an errand boy" can actually swing a lightsaber around pretty well.

and then he unties robotnik, helps him up, asks if hes alright("of course not, imbecile! what took you?" "the tracker wasnt as accurate while in hyperspace as you theorised" "hm. well in any case none of this would happen if it werent for this stupid uniform" "i have a change of clothes prepared for you in the ship") aaannnd the errand boy is back

fast forward, robotnik was both arrested and freed, is now doing his own thing.

the two knights that were with stone in that "initial episode" are snooping around one of robotnik's labs, investigating this new arms dealer. they're on a terminal of some sort and behind them out of focus of the camera a bright orange lightsaber ignites, contrasting sharply against the red/blue tones of the lab.

"you aren't welcome here." the former jedi knight says.

and scene

so yea hope that last bit sold you on the orange lightsaber bit

originally wanted to post this au with more art attached but alas life had other plans.

anyway if you've read this far i hope you have a nice rest of your day :)

also dont be afraid to ask any questions about this au, i have so many thoughts about it, so im 100% sure i didnt include something i deffo have figured out because i either a) forgor 💀 or b) didnt know how to properly explain a vague feeling about a possible situation

[multimusewonderland]

Maria herself is that type of villain who presents herself with a warm, gentle smile, open arms, and good intentions. She fought and dismantled G.U.N, she helps the people other humans don't consider people. She's a wonderful leader.

...Until you see Maria's true face.

She hates humanity. She wants revenge on it and she's determined to destroy it, even if she has to trample nature to achieve that. She's the reason Sonic is roboticized, because she wanted to bring back the other hedgehog she knew. Dr. Maria Robotnik is a ruthless dictator.

But when you see her smile as she personally ensures the health of her soldiers, you have to wonder if that's true.

[apathetik12]

Little stobotnik reverse au idea that Im prolly never gonna fully flesh out. Context: Stone is a commander and Robotnik was assigned to him to both get him out of the lab and to give Stone an assistant. Whta they didnt prepare for was for them to be even worse menaces that they started.

~~~

“Commander Stone, I believe it's your turn to share your next strategies,” some nobody moves on from the last speaker. Stone has never liked these meetings, so he just waves a hand towards his assistant.

“Ah, Robotnik knows everything,” Stone deadpans. “He’ll explain everything.” Robotnik looks up from his tablet, where he was just pretending to take notes, in confusion.

“Wha-”

“Go on,” Stone glances over his shoulder at the other, waving towards the front. Robotnik glances up before looking back at his boss. “You’re the one making the robots for it. Go explain.”

Robotnik thinks to push back. After all, he'd only been assigned as the commander’s personal assistant/scientist a little more than a week ago. Yet, as a different official they could care less about tries to speak up against it, Stone harshly snaps in their face and continues to look at Robotnik expectantly. Taking a deep breath, not bothering to hide the slump in his shoulders, he walks to the front and starts to set up the PowerPoint.

Stone doesn't bother to pay attention to Robotnik’s presentation. They've already been over all of this: the robotics, the attached firearms, the strategies, the insane amount of casualties that the resulting explosions would cause. It's much more entertaining to watch his coworkers struggle to keep up. Stone likes how his new assistant can do that- speak so fast and with such a brilliant vocabulary that just about anyone else blue screens. Everyone except for Stone, of course. He wouldn't have direct contact with one of G.U.N.’s best engineers otherwise. Plus, by the end of it, Robotnik has that wild grin of genius that Stone loves to see. The PowerPoint ends with a little gif of an explosion over a stick figure labelled “the enemies”- Robotnik’s the one that made the slides.

Stone doesn't bother to pay attention to how the chair skids out behind him as he gets up, his hands planted on the table and a similar, sinister grin to his assistant plastered on his face. “Now then, I believe that was all that was asked of me. Ta-ta. Doctor! Let's get a move on.” Stone doesn't even glance over his shoulder to know his assistant is following. Though, he does pause and groan as he can already hear the nobodies shoot up from their seats.

“Now where do you think you're going?” One of them demands, as if they have the right.

“Back to my lair-” sure, it's technically an office, but it's a separate building and it's decorated in a way that lair just fits better- “and I'd really prefer to get a move on. I have wars to end before they start.”

“And what makes you think you can just walk out?!”

Stone snaps his finger and waits a moment for Robotnik to catch on. Thankfully, he doesn't have to turn around before he hears his doctor start speaking to the table. “You see, in our subsequently ranked hierarchy based on levels of critical importance, certain time, skill, and activities are ranked excessively greater than those of measly circle jerks of power.”After a few beats of confused silence, Stone can feel Robotnik turn to him. “Commander?”

Stone spins around with a sadistic grin on his face. “Ya basic!” He translates, much louder than necessary. He turns back around and gestures for his assistant to follow. “Doctor, let's go.”

“Yes, commander.”

Once that door is closed behind him, Stone spares a glance at his assistant. Robotnik has never been good at hiding emotions. Well, he is, just not to Stone. He memorized every micro expression he could the first week of having him. Yet, even those that don't know Robotnik could see the beaming smile on his face. Putting stuck up idiots in their place tends to have that effect.

“Honestly, what were those imbeciles thinking,” Stone starts on a rant, already storming through the building, towards the exit, “not even just those meetings. God, I hate those meetings. But they also had you locked up in a lab before this? With, what? Mediocre scientists? Despicable! Unthinkable! Downright idiotic! Listen here my dear doctor, if I ever- and I mean EVER- start treating you like that, smack me. You have my full permission.”

“Yes, commander.”

“And I mean it. You might be my assistant, but I'm not stupid. You're capable of great things, and by hell are we going to achieve them.”

Stone can almost hear that grin grow wider as Robotnik repeats another, “yes, commander.”

“Now then,” Stone pauses to hold the door open for his assistant, “we have casualties to cause.”

[boobachu]

Yeah, I think the only time Sonic being embarrassed makes sense is about showing weakness, but even then Sonic being real with Tails about being equal to himself in character and physical strength and being real with Knuckles for needing their help in Heroes is some of the best moments of Sonic so I mean...

that's literally why sonic is so cool ooohhhh it's bc he's never embarassed so everything he does IS cool, it becomes cool, and it's probably why so many ppl tend to not like the meta era bc it kind of feels apologetic for itself, sorry for being cringe or for being what it is and that tugs on sonic's character HARD bc if he's not just so unapologetically himself, who is he. ooooohhhhhhhh yeah that makes sense
