Alternate versions of Dr. Robotnik Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, Iím Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
And hey, before you start scrolling through the comments, maybe stop off and thumbs up
and subscribe to the channel.
Thatíd be swell.
Anywsay, Dr. Robotnik, or ìEggmanî is THE villain of the Sonicverse, be it games or
comics or shows or, I dunno, Ice Cream.
And just like Sonic, this guy isnít always the same.
You wanted more versions from the Sonic universe, and Iím here to make that wish come true.
So get ready, itís time for the Top 10 Alternate Versions of Dr. Robotnik!
Number 10: Ivanna Robotina.
We didnít see this version a ton, but itís so rare to find a female version of Eggman
that I felt I should include it.
Because itís justÖ itís not pretty.
She comes from the Luna Zone, acting as the enemy of Sally Moon.
Sound familiar?
Yep, this is the Zone based on Sailor Moon characters, with Ivanna seemingly acting as
the counterpart to Queen Beryl.
This is actually one of the coolest versions of Robotnik though, because instead of roboticizing
her enemies like Robotnik, she changes people into Monsters.
And monsters are just way cooler than robots.
Sorry not sorry.
Number 9: Robo-Robotnik.
Mechanical versions of Sonic can make him look pretty badass.
But the robot version of Eggman isÖ well, itís not exactly fear inspiring.
Itís like Tik Tok from Return to Oz meets Darth Vadar.
Yo.
Check out that reference.
Bet ya donít see many return to Oz references huh?
Iím watching it tonight.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, Robo-Robotnik comes from an alternate universe where he turned the Freedom Fighters
into cyborgs.
Then they turned on him.
And he turned himself into a cyborg.
Then he beat them and forced Cyborg Sonic to go get help.
So yeah, Robo-Robotnik is pretty sick.
http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Robo-Robotnik_v1.0 Number 8: Warden Zobotnik.
Warden Zobotnik comes from the No Zone, where heís in charge of the Zone Jail.
He isnít on the best of terms with Zonic, but apparently he does a decent job.
Most of the time.
Zonic is one of the most popular versions of Sonic, and Zobotnik is a pretty interesting
version of Eggman.
Itís fun to see him actually in a different position, even if heís still kind of a jerk.
Number 7: Eggman Boom.
Eggman Boom is, obviously, the Robotnik from Sonic Boom.
He actually looks a lot more normal, with his egg shape being essentially turned upside
down, making him kinda look like The Iron Sheik with goggles.
And, ya know, without the keffiyeh on his head (keFEEyeh).
And wearing a shirt.
K he doesnít look THAT much like him, whatever.
Whatís nice about this version, though, is that heís a lot more laid back and funny,
similar to his personality in Sonic X.
At least, until he builds another robot to kill them all.
Number 6: Eggman with Eyes.
The 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog game was, well, it wasnít the best.
It was pretty glitchy, with long load times and a weird plot, which resulted in it being
panned by reviewers.
For me though, the worst part is the realistic portrayal of Eggman.
Most of the time itís okay, if a bit strange.
But the thing is, they made it so that you can see his eyes behind the glasses from certain
angles.
http://bit.ly/2f19eK9 NO!
I DONíT WANT TO SEE HIS EYES!
THAT ISNíT RIGHT.
IT JUST ISNíT RIGHT.
STOP IT.
Number 5: Sloptor OíSlopnik.
This is the version of Eggman from YouTube series Blonic.
Here he takes on such totally original characters as ìBlonicî and ìBlucklesî.
Now we didnít actually see Eggman in the videos, since the heroes were too distracted
arguing about whether or not theyíre actually Sonic and Knuckles or totally original characters,
but the creator of the videos drew him on stream once.
And he looks like this.
Number 4: Robolactus.
Hereís one for the comic book fans, fittingly coming from the Archie comics.
If you couldnít tell from the name, Robolactus is an amalgamation of Dr. Robotnik and Galactus,
the planet devouring being from Marvel Comics.
Yes, heís awesome.
Yes, heís huge.
And yes, he still has a silver henchmanÖ but he isnít quite as badass as the surfer.
Because heís Silver Snively.
Right when you thought Snively couldnít be any more unsettlingÖ
Number 3: Anti Robotnik.
Back to the Archie Sonic comics for this one, there are so many great versions from those
comics.
Dr. Ivo Kintobor is the good version of Robotnik, coming from the Antiverse, a world where the
personalities of the main characters are largely swapped.
The Freedom Fighters become the Anti Freedom Fighers, or the Suppression Squad, while Eggman
is actually a super nice guy who runs a hospital.
Is he as cool as evil Eggman?
Probably not.
But itís a nice change.
Although the skinny thing is totally jarring.
Number 2: SatAM Eggman.
In the Saturday morning Sonic show, Eggman departed from his usual kinda angry kind silly
kinda funny thing and just went straight up bad guy.
Although pretty much every kids show from the 90s had that kind of bad guy; Sonic, Inspector
Gadget, Care BearsÖ you need a villain with a scary, gravelly voice.
But this one was pretty great, as far as the super evil Robotniks go.
Plus he was voiced by Jim Cummings, who was also the voice ofÖ well, pretty much everyone
in every show ever.
Jim Cummings is the man.
But he has a funny name.
Number 1: Sonic X Eggman.
The Eggman from the Sonic X Comics is widely viewed as one of the best and most fleshed
out versions, and I canít help but agree.
This version is out for approval from the public, and actually ends up reforming quite
a bit.
Heís pretty friendly with both Sonic and his robots, and ends up becoming such a good
dude that Sonic kinda has to push him back towards villainy just so he has someone to
fight.
Plus he was a Mexican wrestler.
And a good one.
Which is amazing.
Thatís it for today!
