Also back on the topic of Robotnik. I think I know why he went all crazy and adopted a cruel personality. Apparently the Phantom Ruby is so dangerous that prolonged exposure to it causes insanity. This is shown in Mania where Robotnik is initially his old comical self but by the end he builds this massive castle shaped like him and begins to corrupt his own Heavies to fight Sonic using the Ruby. In Forces he is always around Inifinite who has a Ruby shard in his chest so naturally it takes it's toll on his psyche. Robotnik wasn't always pure evil. The Phantom Ruby made him that way. It turned him into a sadistic madman.
