“ | Oh, my babies! Look at what came out of my egg sack! You know what I love about machines? They do what they're told. They follow their programming. They don't need time off to get drunk and put the boat in the water! Now you do what you're told, stand over there on the edge of your personal abyss. And watch my machines do your job. | „ |
~ Dr. Robotnik praising his Badnik drones. |
“ | You know I won't miss you when you're gone. Human beings are unreliable and stupid, and I care very little about them. But my machines are diligent, relentless. They're everything to me! | „ |
~ Dr. Robotnik to Agent Stone, as he proudly admitting his hatred for humans and affinity for machines. |
The Badniks are supporting antagonists in the Sonic Cinematic Universe.
It is a line of revolutionary robotic drones created and developed by Dr. Ivo Robotnik to aid him with his evil schemes to take over the world. They come in a variety of different, unnamed models and colors. Most of them, however, share a black and white color scheme and have one red eye each.
Biography[]
Not much is known about the Badniks, except they were created and developed by Dr. Robotnik, and they became known among the U.S. officials as revolutionary pieces of drone technology. For the further development of the Badniks, the U.S. developed a sizeable amount of tax dollars to them.

Drones[]
Drones are the most common Badnik models. They are egg-shaped drones with a red-camera eye. Master Emerald-enhanced models sport silver plating and a green camera eye.
In addition to being capable of flight, these Badniks are equipped with optical scanners, two twin machine gun mounts, and four retractable missile launchers. In spite of their massive offense capabilities however, they must reload their machine guns periodically, during which they are vulnerable. In addition, they possess tow cables with claw-like hooks that they can use as extendable arms. These cables have enough tensile strength to lift and tear a metal vault out of its structure when used in unison.
Heat-Seeking Drones[]
A smaller Badnik model deployed for reconnaissance. It uses rotor blades to fly and hover in midair air.
Besides being capable of flight, these Badniks possess optical scanners for detecting lifeforms.
Tiny Drone[]
A tiny helicopter-based Badnik model. It is the fourth and final Matryoshka Drone and is deployed from the eye of the Monopod Drone.
This Badnik model is extremely fast and maneuverable for its size, capable of keeping up with and circling around a moving car with pinpoint precision. Highly destructive, it is armed with a laser capable of cutting through steel. Should its rotors be removed, the robot's eye can become a sticky bomb and attach itself to any surface. This tiny bomb packs enough power to produce an explosion several meters wide.
Buzz Bombers[]
A bee-based Badnik model. It is capable of hovering and possesses a red stinger that fires a strong cutting laser. Master Emerald-empowered versions sport silver plating and a green eye and stinger.
Tank Drone[]
A massive, six-wheeled tank-based Badnik model with a red eye on the front. It is used for high-speed warfare.
Despite its bulk, this Badnik model is quite fast, capable of keeping up with a pickup truck. It also comes equipped with a frontal harpoon launcher to latch onto other vehicles and pull them towards it. It is the first Matryoshka Drone, ejecting the lesser, four-wheeled Quad Drone from its undercarriage.
Quad Drone[]
A four-wheeled Badnik model. It is the second Matryoshka Drone, and is deployed from the Badnik Tank.
In addition to being fast enough to keep up with a pickup truck, this Badnik model comes equipped with EMP mines that it can fire from the front. Once deployed, its mines will sweep along the ground until they get under a vehicle, at which point they will attach themselves to them and disable their systems with a surge of electromagnetic energy. It can also deploy the lesser, unicycle-based Monopod Drone.
Monopod Drone[]
A unicycle-based Badnik model. It is the third Matryoshka Drone, and is deployed from the Quad Drone.
This Badnik is fast enough to keep up with a pickup truck. It is also capable of protruding two blades from its hubcaps that it can use to shred tires. It can also deploy the lesser, helicopter-based Tiny Drone from its eye.
