~ Dr. Robotnik to Scratch upon creating him. |
The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad, also known as the S.S.S.S.S. Squad, S.S.S.S.S.S. or 6-S, are the main antagonists of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series, and minor antagonists in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. They are group of Badniks created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik and recuited as low-life bounty hunters for the sole purpose of defeating Sonic the Hedgehog.
History[]
Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog[]
In the first episode (which was named after the group), Dr. Robotnik called upon his army of manufactured mercenaries for one goal: to capture or destroy Sonic the Hedgehog for constantly interfering in his plans to conquer Mobius. However, the hedgehog himself appeared on the scene and defeated them all. Disappointed by this, Robotnik decided to build a new batch of robots send them out to finish the job the others couldn't, calling it the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad. Unfortunately, the end result turned out to be the complete opposite to what the evil doctor intended: a mildly idiotic chicken robot named Scratch and a much dumber drill-tank robot named Grounder.
Nonetheless, Robotnik employed them on several missions to defeat Sonic and finally take control of Mobius, only for them to miserably fail each and every time to the hedgehog's speed and cleverness. There was also Coconuts, who was mostly treated like a lowly servant by Robotnik, but often tries to prove himself by either trying to defeat Sonic himself or working alongside Scratch and Grounder to accomplish this task.
Archie Comics[]
In the comic series, Dr. Robotnik created Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts for the purpose of defeating Sonic the Hedgehog, only to be thwarted as usual. They once managed to capture Sonic and the Freedom Fighters so that Robotnik could put them in a virtual reality, but the heroes were able to escape. At some point afterwards, Robotnik grew tired of the S.S.S.S.S. Squad's incompetence and dumped them out, leaving them homeless and jobless.
They then had the good fortune of being found and employed by Mammoth Mogul to work in his casino. After the Super Genesis Wave, they then worked for Breezie the Hedgehog in Casinopolis.
