How the hell can he afford to keep building high tech robots?
How hasn’t the government already send someone to dispose of him? You can’t fricking tell me no one saw the shit he did in multiple occasions

You want to fricking try take this thing down with a tank?
He gets his funding and resources from israel.
oil
Did you forget that he has massive automated industrial bases every fricking where? He's not buying anything from anyone, he's strip mining the resources with brute force.
I know this is just a shitposting thread, and I understand why the government hasn't killed him, but is there a reason SONIC hasn't killed him by now? Or at least fricking Knuckles.
Sonics sadly a huge moral gay who thinks he can be redeemed
IDW is not canon.
Archie is not canon.
Sonic won't kill villains. He's basically Batman morality.
Sonic is Animal Goku.
Sonic does things he likes and doesn’t do things he doesn’t like. Simple as. Sonic Wachowski definitely wanted to kill him though.
Not for a lack of trying. Eggman is good at running away and is incredibly durable.
Sonic literally can't. Eggman just keeps getting away!
that’s illegal
In the games the actual danger is mostly incidental to his goals. He's like Bowser. There's only a few times they ever stepped over the line.
Bowser's a decent guy underneath all of it and will even team up to stomp actual evil threats. Eggman actively does shit like blow up the moon and split the planet in half
>will even team up to stomp actual evil threats.
Eggman also does this several times
Bowser tried to genocide the Yoshis and turned a whole country into blocks and bushes.
It's all presentation. Eggman is an egocentric but charismatic man baby, much like Bowser. Other media and a few missteps get people to misunderstand this.
Fair enough, i forgot early bowser was actually a tyrant early on, now he's not that bad
Same reason Batman doesn't kill the Joker.
Because, and pay close attention now, IF ICONIC VILLAIN DIE, NO CAN USE VILLAIN NO MORE.
Sonic X ep 12-13
How many companies and ventures does this man own? He's at least 80+% of the 1% in Sonic's World, and he's profitable to work with for the other 20%, so he just keeps on keeping on.
Besides, the only real problem he's ever caused with people on the planet was The ARK because he made such a fuss about it. 06 is a time loop that fixed itself. Dark Gaea did frick all, barely anybody noticed or cared that the world was in pieces. Colors, Lost World, Generations, Frontiers were all cordoned away from people. Forces only seemingly affected the furry population. He's basically a nuisance for the Government but he still pays hefty taxes for all his real businesses so he's got the green light. Follow the money.
He tried to blow up Station Square.
True enough. And considering Perfect Chaos' revival, he succeeds even if it's not as explicit.
When you mention that, I am surprised he hasn't been disappeared yet. The G.U.N. faction of the Government seems intent to do so in SA2, so who knows what happened to them afterwards. I never played Shadow the Hedgehog so I'm not sure about G.U.N. afterward.
I still stand by him being too profitable. What's a destroyed city when he has and can generate the capital to build another one just as big in a couple years?
G.U.N. was around during 06 since Shadow and Rouge are agents for them, and in Zero Gravity it’s mentioned that they’re investigating all the robots going haywire, though they don’t actually appear. I think that was the last time they were explicitly mentioned.
He literally calls it his Eggman Empire, he IS a government. If someone came to arrest him, they'd end up in here.
He uses Oil Ocean and Casino Night to fund his world domination plans.
If I remember correctly in Sonic Battle he sells his robots as security bots for private companies.
He's also making casinos and theme parks all the time so I guess he gets money from that too.
He built robots that mine the materials he needs. Sonic never even thinks to search for them.
CALL ON MEEEEEEEEEEEE
He owns oil ocean
Lighting oil ocean on fire would also be an extinction level event for nearly all life on Earth
Well Sonic did that in Mania so who's the real monster here?
Yeah, if we're to believe that oil ocean is like a lake and not like a real oil reserve then everything on the planet would have died
Depending on how much you believe in climate change, a little over five trillion gallons have done all the CO2 damage we've done so far.
What Sonic did would be 760 times as bad as all of the oil consumption throughout human history, and he did it all at once.
I like eggman as much as next guy but sonic really needs more villains
I gotcha
EGGMAN NI-
Lame ass evilver guy of an already bad guy
Pretty sure Ian was joking about that and not something serious that people will of course do in this fan baseand people with a grudge to use that out of context
actually turns out the guy who said that ian said that was probably making it up to joke around

I guess you should not believe everything you see posted
I think he just gives answers to get people off his back.
They keep killing or redeeming all the villains who could be comebacks like Infinite
It’s a shame Fang is stuck in classic hell.
Shadow you need to come up with a new villain
>sonic really needs more villains
I might be wrong since I haven't played many of the newest games but aren't most of post 06 featuring new villains except the issues is always either they are forgettable or their games sucked?
All there really is the purple haired b***h and the deadly six.
Unleashed had another one-and-done.
Same for Gens.
Colors was Eggman.
Lost World was the Zeti, who weren't well used but could be fun in spinoff material if used well.
Forces was Eggman again and Infinite, who was just a mook who died.
Frontiers is some big evil moon.
It's not that these are things that the writers haven't thought of, it's things they intentionally avoid because they miss the point of the stories the Sonic games try to tell.
Eggman and Sonic aren't really "characters". They're metaphors; stand-ins for concepts larger than them.
Sonic represents nature, freedom, and the good of all, whereas Eggman represents technology, tyranny, and all that is greedy and selfish.
Asking "why doesn't Sonic/the government/whoever just kill Eggman" misses the point of the characters and the stories the Sonic games try to tell. You can't murder the concepts the characters represent, or essentially are.
This is why trying to have character development for either of them is misguided. They're intentionally static characters, inspiring change in others. The story of Sonic vs. Eggman should be treated more as parable, dealing with larger themes rather than the plights of individual characters. So many people miss the point, and that's why the Sonic series is as fractured as it is.
This is why Shadow was so beloved because he wasn't static and was allowed to change
I never said OTHER Sonic characters should be static like Sonic. Sonic is a vessel for change in others. There are plenty of excellent stories in Sonic that revolve around specific characters, often learning lessons from Sonic (Shadow, Blaze, Emerl, Marine, etc.) But to treat Sonic (or Eggman) as a dynamic character is missing the point, and a ton of Sonic media misses that essential aspect of those characters.
I love change
>Maria loved this planet, I will protect it
>FRIENDS MAKE YOU WEAK
How do sonic ran fast????
What would happen if Eggman did die? Would Metal Sonic take over? What about sage? Maybe a new galactic threat?
And I don't mean a fake out death, I mean he actually dies for real. Either by the hands of Shadow or G.U.N. or another machine that gains sentience
>Maybe a new galactic threat?
Sonic getting involved with evil aliens seems inevitable, they keep flirting with the concept
According to Ian Flynn, All of the Sonic games take place over seven months.
And Sonic was locked up for six of those in Forces, meaning everything from Sonic 1 up to Forces happened in a single month.
It's possible Robotnik has spent the first fiftyish years of his life amassing resources, only to see a blue hedgehog relentlessly destroy them in a few weeks.
There's no way all the games take place in 7 months... Does that include the classic games?
Yup.
So in Sonic Generations, Sonic was meeting himself from about ten days earlier.
He even goes through puberty really fast.
>According to Ian Flynn, All of the Sonic games take place over seven months.
He's an idiot.
Ian says a lot of things and somehow doesn't understand half the cast after writing them for 20 years.
He did something? Idk, seems like a nice dude to me, even invited me to his birthday party
> How hasn’t the government already send someone to dispose of him?
That is a major plot point of SA2 and the government couldn't do shit to him. The US isn't going to try and oppose a man who can just shit out space armadas and casually crack the planet into pieces, especially since Sonic always stops him anyways.
For money, I'm sure Eggman either hacks cash into offshore bank accounts or sells his own tech to other companies. I bet he used roboticization to make a killing in the medical field. Imagine being able to completely replace a failing organ or detached limb. And being able to switch it off or otherwise control it whenever he wants doesn't hurt either.
