  • (Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston)

  • Boomstick: It's no secret that scientists are, well, crazy as hell. But these two take it way too far!

  • Wiz: Dr. Ivo Robotnik, aka the Eggman...

  • Boomstick: ...and Dr. Albert Wily, aka Einstein without rogaine.

  • Wiz: In this scenario, both Doctors will be leading their mechanized armies to see who is the deadliest robot commander.

  • Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

  • Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a DEATH BATTLE.

  • (Cues: Dr Eggman's Theme - Sonic SatAM)

  • Wiz: Dr. Eggman is the obese, yet strangely athletic, evil mastermind responsible for terrorizing the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, in his quest to rule a global empire.

  • His engineering mastery has led to a massive army of unique robot warriors using the strangest fuel source, kidnapped animals.

  • Boomstick: He's PETA's worst nightmare!

  • Wiz: His army is based around speed and defense, including Moto Bugs, Caterkillers, Buzz Bombers, Egg Pawns and SWATbots.

  • Boomstick: But Eggman's got way more than that! His Egg Fleet is a huge armada of Battleships, led by the Massive Egg Carrier, which supports a huge front mounted laser cannon.

  • (Cues: Sonic 3 and Kunckles - Robonik Orchestral remix) Wiz: The Eggman army is spearheaded by his deadliest robot warriors, the Badniks.

  • The EggRobo is a smartbot crafted in Eggman's own image and designed to carry out tasks Eggman himself would normally do.

  • Boomstick: What's this guy's deal with eggs?

  • Wiz: On its own, Silver Sonic appears slow and bulky but it is powered by a Chaos Emerald.

  • Making it a much faster and more practical machine.

  • Boomstick: Then he made another robo-hog, Mecha Sonic, who focuses on firepower over speed!

  • Wiz: Mecha Sonic can even absorb Chaos energy to attain a short lived Super Form.

  • Boomstick: But Eggman wanted more than just Sonic bots.

  • Mecha Knuckles can glide and vomit giant rockets...

  • Wiz: And E-101 Beta remains one of Eggman's most versatile creations.

  • Boomstick: He's a flying robot with Super Speed, teleportation and a reflector shield!

  • He shoots homing missiles and Kamehamehas and has one of my favorite defensive abilities ever, the backhand!

  • Wiz: The Shadow Androids are fast and durable and typically fight in groups of three.

  • However, their design is so complex, they sometimes glitch in close combat.

  • And speaking of glitches, despite being an absolute genius, Dr. Eggman appears to suffer from a peculiar personality disorder that sent him through several different "phases".

  • Boomstick: Let's just hope that Scratch and Grounder phase doesn't show up today.

  • Wiz: But none of Eggman's creations have ever been as deadly or as successful as his ultimate killing machine...

  • Boomstick: Hyper Metal Sonic!

  • (Cues: Final Boss JP Version Theme - Sonic CD)

  • Wiz: Metal Sonic was specifically designed to be better than Sonic the Hedgehog in every way and was a complete success.

  • Metal can move much faster than Sonic, easily reaching near mach 5 speeds.

  • Metal's abilities include Sonic's spindash and homing attack, along with the impenetrable Black Shield.

  • Boomstick: He's also got a chest laser, rocket powered flight and the Maximum Overdrive attack.

  • Where he overloads his circuits to create a glowy energy field that'll burn through pretty much anything!

  • Wiz: And that's not all.

  • Somehow, Eggman managed to make Metal Sonic an ever evolving force. (Cues: Sonic 3 - Final Boss Orchestral Remix)

  • Metal has the uncanny ability to scan and copy data from others, flawlessly replicating their abilities.

  • Boomstick: Damn, Eggman sure stepped up his game!

  • Wiz: Obtaining enough power can transform Metal into a number of more impressive forms, all of which increase his abilities immeasurably.

  • Boomstick: The only downside to giving Metal Sonic a super brain is Eggman sometimes has trouble keeping him in line.

  • Wiz: But even with his metallic minions waging his war, Dr. Eggman is perfectly willing to step into the battlefield himself.

  • He pilots the Eggmobile, a fast single man pod with twin mounted Machine Guns.

  • The Eggmobile's most vital function, however, is its universal compatibility to operate almost all of Eggman's machines.

  • Boomstick: Like the humungous Death Egg Robot with its spiked rocket arms and lasers!

  • Wiz: Eggman is vicious and clever.

  • He's an expert at playing his opponents right into his hands.

  • At the same time, though, he can be overly obsessive to the point of overlooking some important factors in an effort to concentrate on a single goal.

  • But while this can be a perilous game for Eggman, it also makes him dangerously unpredictable.

  • Dr. Robotnik: A nice dream. But dreams are meant to be...

  • ...BROKEN!

  • Wiz: After being continuously out-shined by his insensitive colleague, Dr. Light.

  • Dr. Albert W. Wily turned to a life of crime in an attempt to achieve fame and power.

  • Boomstick: How did he plan to get so famous, you ask?

  • By taking over the world!

  • Wiz: Whether through his own engineering or impressive hacking.

  • Over the years, Wily developed a large, diverse robot army built on the ideals of both solid defense and ranged firepower.

  • Mets, Sniper Joes and Bladers make up the bulk...

  • Boomstick: With Hotheads and Elephants, oh my!

  • Wiz: Wily is a mastermind in more than just hardware.

  • His Roboenza virus is a deadly disease for robots, making them unstable and violent with no regard for human life.

  • Boomstick: But Wily's weirdest bot is definitely the Yellow Devil.

  • A giant pulsating yellow blob thing that pulls itself apart and uses its own body as a weapon.

  • Wiz: Wily's army is led by his Robot Masters.

  • Guts Man was a civil engineering machine remade as a powerhouse who can lift over two tons.

  • Boomstick: Metal Man was made specifically for killing things.

  • You can tell 'cause he's got evil red eyes!

  • Wiz: He wields ceramic titanium Metal Blades, one of the deadliest weapons in video game history, and is made of lightweight material, making him quick-footed.

  • Boomstick: Slash Man is fast and agile and wields the Slash Claw, a portable alien blade that's designed to destroy asteroids!

  • OK.

  • Wiz: Magnet Man is a tactical fighter who uses homing Magnet Missiles and the Magnet shield to outmaneuver enemies.

  • And then there's Sheep Man.

  • Originally designed to actually herd sheep, he was reprogrammed by Wily to turn into clouds, get bored easily and fall apart when hit by rubber baseballs.

  • Boomstick: What the fu-

  • Wiz: Napalm Man is a walking weapon.

  • Boomstick: And a robot Master after my own heart.

  • He likes blowing shit up so much, that he built his own weapons museum, and then blew it up!

  • Wiz: Pharaoh Man possesses a large arsenal of mysterious powers including fireballs, energy waves, teleportation, a magic shield and levitation.

  • Boomstick: And he's also known for being a little punch-happy!

  • Wiz: But Dr. Wily's Ultimate Robot Master is none other than Bass.

  • A direct Imitation of his Nemesis, Mega Man.

  • Boomstick: He even has a robo-dog helper called Treble.

  • Wiz: Bass is powered by Bassnium, an extremely potent and unique energy source.

  • Boomstick: Bassnium?

  • You just made that up.

  • Wiz: I wish I did.

  • Boomstick: Well, he wields the Bass Buster, an arm cannon that has both rapid fire and Charge shot settings.

  • Wiz: He is programmed to be able to copy any action he has seen.

  • If he gets a hold of another's weapon, he can use it to the same effectiveness as the original owner.

  • Boomstick: He can also fuse with Treble using the Super adapter creating...

  • Super Bass!

  • Wiz: Bass is extremely powerful but fairly brash and arrogant.

  • He seeks to prove he is the strongest robot warrior there is and will even disobey Dr. Wily's orders if he thinks they impede his goal.

  • Though he will not kill his creator, he has occasionally attacked him.

  • Boomstick: That's when Wily busts out his personal fighting vehicle!

  • Wiz: The Wily Machine has gone through several variations...

  • Boomstick: ...Even a dinosaur!

  • Wiz: Though Wily's favorite appears to be machine #8.

  • Boomstick: Good old 8 can fly, launch missiles and has a triple barrel laser cannon and a Boomerang Buzzsaw.

  • Wiz: It also houses Wily's personal transportation, the Wily Capsule.

  • Boomstick: Which makes the worst sound you've ever heard in your life!

  • (Cue Wily Capsule sound)

  • Boomstick: Make it stop!

  • MAKE IT STOP! (groan)

  • Wiz: Wily designs and commands his robots with long term strategy in mind and, as a result, often keeps his team as flexible as possible.

  • Though this means each robot has specific exploitable weaknesses.

  • As a unit, Wily's team is prepared for anything.

  • Dr. Wily: I will create Chaos, destroy everything, and the best part, ooh, the very best part is...

  • ...I have finally gotten the best of Dr. Light!

  • *laughs maniacally*

  • Wiz: All right the combatants are set!

  • Let's end this debate once and for all!

  • Boomstick: But first we got an Advertisement from...

  • ...Uh.

  • Wiz: Actually Boomstick we don't need to do those anymore.

  • Boomstick: Really?

  • Wiz: Absolutely!

  • Boomstick: Freedom!

  • Scratch: Ba ha ha ha!

  • Watch it! I got him!

  • Grounder: No, I got him!

  • I thought you had him!

  • Scratch: I thought YOU had him!

  • Dr. Eggman: No!

  • Call in the Egg Fleet!

  • Gwahahahhahahaha!

  • Ho ho ho!

  • Sucker!!!

  • It's a Dummy!

  • Not yet!

  • (Eggman laughs maniacally)

  • Metal Sonic: Kneel before your master!

  • Dr. Eggman: What are you doing?!?

  • Metal Overlord: (Godzilla roar)

  • Announcer: K.O.!

  • Boomstick: Well, that world's f*****.

  • Our bad.

  • Wiz: So...

  • I suppose technically Wily won because he used the Roboenza, which ultimately meant the end for Eggman.

  • Boomstick: But... then he died too...

  • ...and that's technically Eggman's robot, soo...

  • Wiz: Then the winner is... uh...

  • Boomstick: Metal Sonic?
