Badniks
Badniks are robots, mostly based on animals, of Dr. Robotnik that are built to do his biddings, and destroy anyone who opposes him, primarily Sonic and the Freedom Fighters. They appeared more prominently in earlier issues of the comic, as a more light-hearted foe, opposed to swatbots, who are darker and more serious. They are based on enemies from the Sega Genesis era of Sonic video games. Badniks include Scratch (rooster) and Grounder (mole) who commonly work together, Coconuts (monkey), Crabmeat (crab), Caterkiller (caterpillar), Burrobot (digging animal of sorts), Jaws, (shark), Motobug (insect on a wheel), Bat Brain (bat), Ballhog (pig), Splats (rabbit), Orbinaut (purple ball with sharp shapes orbiting it), Buzzbomber (hornet), Newtron (chameleon), among others.
