“ | Transformation 101. Bunnies to Badniks. Boom! Instant army! | „ |
~ Dr. Eggman explaining Badnik construction. |
The Badniks are supporting antagonists in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
They typically serve as the main enemies that appear throughout the levels in the majority of Sonic games. They are small robots created by Dr. Eggman that are powered by tiny animals captured by the doctor.
In the Archie Comics, they seem to be sort of pets to the villainous tyrant, as all of the Robbins and SWATbots were mindless pawns. Even when working together, the Badniks proved no match for Sonic or the Freedom Fighters. After the demise of Robotnik, several of the surviving Badniks continued to thrive on the Island of Misfit Badniks. However, after being discovered by Sonic and later the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters the majority of them were compacted and seemingly destroyed.

Metal Sonic series[]
The Mecha Sonic series, better known as the Metal Sonic series, simply known as Mecha Sonics, are a series of advanced Badniks designed to resemble Sonic the Hedgehog. They are some of Dr. Eggman's greatest robots ever made, as well as his right-hand men and the secondary antagonists in the "Classic" era of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. They are the only robots who manage to rival Sonic's speed and power.
Rather than attacking in groups, they attack individually, each one being a dangerous threat in it's own right. However, while most of them are only built for strength and fighting purposes, the final and perfected model, Metal Sonic matches both Sonic's speed and power, being the greatest Metal Sonic ever created.
Shadow Androids[]
“ | You might look like me, but I know you're just a fake. | „ |
~ Shadow the Hedgehog |
The Shadow Androids are advanced Badniks designed to resembled Shadow the Hedgehog. Dating back as far as Sonic Heroes, they are creations of Dr. Eggman and serve largely as Shadow's version of the Metal Sonic series.
Shadow Androids have powers similar to Shadow's own as well as missile attacks, unlike Metal Sonic they rarely attack alone and are considerably more lifelike (identical, in fact, to Shadow).
Shadow Androids apparently ceased being created by Dr. Eggman after the events of the Shadow the Hedgehog game, though the exact reasons why are still unknown.
