#I thought it was obvious that he only saved Sonic in LW so he'd hold off the D6 so he could reprogram his machine. that was the whole point

sorry but the idea Eggman could genuinely be a father figure to his arch nemesis the way things are in canon when he literally tries to kill him all the time and is very specifcally threatening and vocal in this desire and is the blatant intent in his actions constantly, was proud and amused at the idea that he was "nothing but floating chunks in space" when he thought he'd really killed him in SA2, and laughed at him becoming fully corrupted in Frontiers and saying he only wishes he could've been the one to finish him off is very odd and confusing to me
