What the hell happened to your face there?

sorry, never played that game (sonic 2 battle i think it was though), couldn't find a copy for gamecube and never owned a dreamcast :/ or was that one of the cartoon/anime series?Quote:

Ye gods, where did all this come from? Well, time to answer a bunch of questions!
1 - Planning, creation of blueprints, prototype phases, and everything else included, it took approximately five years. The finalised design took a year to construct to optimum specifications.Quote:

3 - Why thank you. And no offence was taken. Practically the entire world considers me to be the villain. They will learn once I take over, of course.
4 - I gave a fairly exhaustive explanation of Chaos Energy and the rings on page 82. The short summary: Sonic doesn't precisely collect rings, he collects the chaos energy they store. Once the rings are drained of their chaos energy, they dissipate until enough energy is gathered to require another shell to contain it. Essentially, rings, being order constructs - perfect circles and all that - contain the energy. Sonic absorbs the energy, which he uses to empower himself further.
This concept expands to the Chaos Emeralds. Again orderly constructs, crystalline in this case, able to hold an extremely vast amount of chaos energy. They can't be drained, as they represent Chaos in and of itself, essentially, but their power can be used, hence Super Sonic. That form requires such vast amounts of energy, however, that it's forced to drain on Sonic's remaining reserves of Chaos Energy at every turn. The games cleverly picked up on this by a decreasing ring counter.
1 - The answer to this question varies constantly, mostly because my memory's a bit hazy that far back. I think it was a small helper-bot I built when doing chores around the house began to annoy me when I was young. Mind you, if you searched through this thread, you might find a different answer altogether. I think this one's about right though.Quote:

Then apparently what everyone knows is wrong. Go figure.Quote:

Just don't mess with the balance of order and chaos, would you? I have simulated what would happen. Haven't seen that much destruction on a screen since I simulated the effects of every nuclear weapon in the universe going off in one go.Quote:

Where do you believe people that break RP because of ignorance come from? :wacko:
What kind of general form of robot do you prefer (Animal-shaped, Humanoid, etc.)?
1). What keeps you going after all this time of fighting Sonic?
2). What do you think a cd-i Sonic game would've looked like? (shudder)
3). Do you play scary games?
4). Do you get offended when you're referred to as a "villain"?
are you part robot?

...'shipwrecksauce'?
The one that was never released, never recorded, and never actually made. The song is tripe. It starts off too slow to suit Sonic's character, but maintains something of a tone, and then that completely talentless rapper comes in and ruins it completely. Once that happened, any version of it simply reminded me of the idiot. Also, the singer in it can't sing very well.Quote:

- I'm going to have to keep repeating myself, aren't I?
I AM DOCTOR ROBOTNIK. I am not a roleplayer, I am not a representative of SEGA, and I most certainly am not interested in answering more questions about this.
If you refuse to accept that I'm Dr. Robotnik, that's fine, but stop bothering me about it, for heaven's sake.
1 - On occasion. Anonymously.Quote:

5 - Egg Carrier, definitely the Egg Carrier.
The only one in here that's logical is number three, although I would never, in my life, phrase it like that. Sonic is indeed unlikely to retire.Quote:

Thank you for your honesty.Quote:

1 - Quite difficult to say with any accuracy. Mentally he seems to never age, certainly. Physically, he's aging, slowly but surely, as do we all.Quote:

3 - No. Possibly there'd be a need for sub-leaders, but I'd be the one in charge. It sort of comes with the territory.
4 - Something along the lines of "Sonic retiring? Yeah, that's about as likely to happen as my Eggmobile suddenly coming alive."
I believe this thread is entitled "Ask Dr. Robotnik", not "Ask GunSlinger Boy". Did he ask you the questions? No? I'm so happy you also noticed that.Quote:

2 - Because the two are inherently related, I'm sure. Oh wait. The only things that would stop getting sequels would be the games. Again, the comics and series depict alternate dimension counterparts of my illustrious self.
3 - You seem to be persistent in the belief that the games are my reason of being, rather than me being the reason for the games to exist. It's kind of silly, really.
heh, i know that, some of the stuff is just so ridiculous that i have to say something and get it over with.
what i meant was SEGA would employ SPACE AGE tech and de-age Sonic somehow. :bed::time:
Do you have a machine that interprets dreams so that one can make sense of it?
Why haven't you made a gaming peripheral yet :wacko: ?
Yeah, that's nice, but really, your answers aren't very accurate.Quote:

SEGA recounts the stories of my attempts at world conquest and Sonic's usually successful attempts at stopping me. I.e. the only affiliation we have with SEGA is that they make games about us. They don't hold control over us.
Such a device is a silly concept. Sorry, but that's the truth. Dreams can't be interpreted that easily, with a few exceptions, such as recurring nightmares of traumatic events. And if you need a device to interpret why you're having nightmares about a trauma, you need help.Quote:

What were you thinking with that Gizoid?
"Show me your power. Or I shall not obey. I represent all things, and shall become Gizoid, the conqueror of all."
You showed the damn thing a device that can destroy stars! You're supposed to be a genius!

IV - Actually, no. But it must be said that the Gizoid-concept backfired spectacularly. I didn't go quite as overboard in reality as the game made me out to be though. I merely showed it the capabilities of the Egg Fleet.
Blighted thing still went insane though.
Probably Serious Sam or BioShock. I.e. either a stupidly silly game that's completely over the top and doesn't take itself seriously, or a grim game with an exceptional storyline.Quote:

Begin random comment:
Spoiler warning:
End random comment
That makes a lot more sense.
1) What ever happened to your assistant robots? Orbot, Cubo- I don't care about Cubot. Nevermind it.
2) Please tell me you didn't blow up the planet during the events recorded in "Sonic Unleashed".
3) Come to think of it, between CHAOS, Gaia, Time Eater, and other events... why do you keep tapping into powers you don't fully understand let alone control?
4) What happened to the Super Emeralds?
5) In Sonic 1, there are 6 Emeralds. In Sonic 2, there are 7. In Sonic the Fighter, there are 8 Emeralds.
Granted, from what I can remember it is Sonic 2 where Super Sonic first appeared but Sonic the Fighters requires 8 emeralds to unlock Super Sonic for a boss fight. Colors I can safely guess are due to system limitations or just not giving a damn, but considering they are crystals of chaos energy I can't help but wonder if the number and colors in real life fluctuate as well due to their nature.
6) http://images.wikia.com/sonic/images...obotnik_51.pnghttp://images.wikia.com/sonic/images/4/49/Amy_5.png
Why did you and Amy both use vehicles loaded with weapons (missiles and slick oil) while everyone else (including your robots) were on foot? In fact, why did you spam the racer roster with your creations?
Hey Doc.
1.) So, ever just decided to just slap propaganda calling Sonic evil across the world?
2.) Can you fight bare handed (competently)?
3.) When will we ever see you with your glasses/goggles off?
4.) Do you have plans of making a Death Egg Mach 3?
5.) What would you call the best representation of the events when you and Sonic clash?
Bonus question:
Why don't you ever just lock up / arrest / imprison Sonic? I know GUN's prison island and your Egg Carrier didn't hold Sonic or Amy, but both were due to outside forces (Sonic's allies and a malfunctioning robot respectively).
Attachment 33538 ... I was bored so I made the image like an 8-Bit RPG. When I get bored, I doodle.
Tails can fly, Knux could bash those lasers with his claws, Gamma, Omega, Scourge, Shadow, Rouge, Sally Acorn, Silver, Zonic, any of the Chaotix or Freedom Fighters, even the Destructix and Scourge's people would get them out!Quote:

I - Approximately 20 minutes ago. I do try to keep up with the latest news, after all.Quote:

IV - Depends. Can the entire world be considered a board and all my forces my pawns to move at my leisure? No? Oh, then no.
V - Teleportation's a tricky gambit at the best of times, so I tend to only use it in case of absolute emergency. I do have a teleportation network in place though.
And hey Shane.
1 - Left Cubot behind in space. Orbot was renamed by SEGA for no apparent reason, he's still Sass, also known as 5A-55, and still works with me. If I hadn't left Cubot behind in space, I probably would've launched him there and then tried to forget about him. Blighted voice chips.Quote:

If you want to know how I managed that, I refer you again to the fact that I am the most brilliant thing in the history of this planet, up to and including sliced bread.
3 - There's often a "it seemed like a good idea at the time" thought behind it. And in fairness, I had proper control over Time Eater. It was simply defeated.
4 - I've been looking into that, actually. It looks like the Chaos Emeralds were lesser gemstones until they were brought back to Angel Island and reunited with the Master Emerald. The result is that they regained their proper form, mistakenly referred to at the time as "Super Emeralds", but frankly, they're just the true Chaos Emeralds.
5 - Actually, that's just SEGA having a few twits over at the story department not knowing the actual background data. There are seven, always were seven, and always will be seven. The reason the energies they contain doesn't go completely mental is precisely because it's constrained in such an orderly shell. The Master Emerald seems to be able to transcend this - having been shattered on multiple occasions - but the Chaos Emeralds do not. At least, that's my theory at the present time. I don't particularly want to test out what happens if I were to shatter a Chaos Emerald, as disgustingly hard as it would prove to be anyway.
6 - Most of these spinoff games are pure money-grabs by SEGA, using a famous franchise to garner some extra money. This was merely a friendly racing event, but when SEGA decided to do a game on it, they decided "Well, it's Robotnik, he's evil, he uses missiles because he cheats!"
I have no idea why they also gave Amy weaponry though. Possibly fits with the fact that she's a nutter.
1 - Propaganda wars are ineffectual at best by this point. If I'd started out with it, perhaps, but let's be frank here. I've been trying to take over the world for going on twenty years now. Sonic's been stopping me and cementing a reputation as a world-wide hero for going on 20 years now.Quote:

2 - Well, I'm no martial artist, but I can hold my own if someone tries to punch me out.
Of course, if someone tried to punch me out, I'd be as likely to just get into the Eggmobile and smash their heads in. Not killing, but certainly educating.
3 - That's for me to know and for you to- Argh, I can't finish it, too bad a cliché. I'll just say 'perhaps', for now.
4 - Well, technically speaking, there've been more than two iterations already. I'm not sure why my naming policy never got past 'mark II'. I'll look into it.
5 - Do you mean which game is the most accurate? Probably Sonic Adventure 2. Aside from obvious concessions made to improve gameplay, it told the story fairly accurately.
Yeah, that's sort of the problem. If I could manage to catch/arrest/imprison Sonic and all of his friends in one go? I would've taken over already.Quote:

He has robots who can fly. The lasers were just a representation, not a suggestion. Besides, he can't get at the generators if they are embedded within 2 feet of steel or whatever metal he uses in construction. Gamma self-destructed. Omega can be shut down. Shadow, Rouge, and the Chaotix are biological and thus can be stopped by various gasses (or lack thereof). Silver is also biological and in another dimension/time. Scourge, Sally Acorn, Zonic, the Freedom Fighters, the Destructix and Scourge's gang are all in a completely different set of dimensions. This Robotnik is the one you see in the games (more or less).Quote:
