Doctor Robotnik is the more common name for this character in English. Perhaps the page should be moved. What do others think? M123 05:45, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Yes, but Doctor Eggman became the dominant name since Sonic Adventure. Before Sonic Adventure, however, this was not the case. Sometimes, he has been referred to as "Doctor Eggman aka Doctor Robotnik", but for the most part, the post-Sonic Adventure games call him "Doctor Eggman"

Should this be Dr. Eggman, since his name is almost never seen with "Doctor" spelled out? - The T
I wondered...
I would have expected to find a link to the Beatles song here... whose title I can't remember. -FZ 00:19, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Difference between Robotnik and Eggman; lack of seperation between SatAM and Archie
While the Archie universe borrows heavily from the SatAM continuity, the two are not one in the same. For example, Ben Hurst(a lead writer for most of SatAM's second season) originally intended Robotnik (Julian) and Snively to hail from a human space expedition that took place nearly a millenia before the current timeline. Nevertheless, this background was never hinted at in the series, and may very well not apply.
In Archie it would appear Robotnik was born and raised within a pre-established Overlander civilization on Mobius (modern title for humans), unlike what was planned for his backstory in SatAM. In Archie, he was born as Julian Kintobor of the house of Ivo (Although his first name was Julian in SatAM, no real last name was given to him before he rechristened himself Robotnik) Julian eventually became a weapons designer during the Great War(another subject borrowed from SatAM, but elaborated upon), and conducted illegal(not to mention immoral) experiments on innocent people to test his prototypes. Authorities eventually caught on to this and Julian was sentenced to death by his own brother, Colin Kintobor. Instead of accepting his fate, he fled to the Mobian border and was taken in by Mobian soldiers. He is then brought before the King of the Mobian faction(King Maximillian Acorn), who grants him amnesty and decides to use his knowledge of their enemies to gain an advantage in the war (which explains why Julian sided with them and became War Minister). I'm uncertain as to when the Great War actually began in Archie, but the conflict was started somewhat due to racial tension and unpleasant dealings over the generations. Apparenty, after the Kingdom of Acorn was victorious, a lot of the remaining humans/Overlanders fled the planet, while others were left behind. Most of those that remained were either abandoned or opted to stay behind. These Overlanders were either hunted down by the newly renamed Ivo Robotnik (now ruler of Mobius), or managed to stay hidden in solitude.
Essentially, the SatAM Robotnik and the Archie Robotnik (aka Julian Kintobor) are the same character. However, in the Archie continuity Julian Kintobor (Dr. Ivo Robotnik) and Dr. Eggman are two different characters. In issue 50, Robotnik met his supposed demise at the hands of his own weapon of mass destruction. Eggman made his premiere appearance in issue 75, where a roboticized Robotnik from an alternate reality (Robo-Robotnik) traveled to Mobius Prime, claiming to have already defeated his version of Sonic. He was destroyed when his orbital space station exploded, but transferred his digital consciousness into another robotic body. In this body, Robo-Robotnik took on the Eggman from the games' likeness and was such redubbed "Dr. Eggman". As such the original Robotnik can be called Robotnik, Ivo Robotnik, and Julian Kintobor, but cannot be called Eggman. Robo-Robotnik on the other hand, can be titled either Eggman, Robotnik, or Robotnik Mach 2. I believe these two characters should be seperated under a SatAM/Archie continuity section. If anyone wants to edit the information presented above and implement it into the article please feel free to do so. --Exor 02:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, I'm all for that, I guess. I'll admit I'm more of a games guy, though, where "Robotnik" or "Eggman" are both applicable for the same guy, unlike these other universes. --Shadow Hog 03:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
E-121 Phi
Phi should be E-120 not E-121 as the E-100 series robots start with E-100 not E-101 making Phi the 120th robot even though he is the 21st greek letter --I don't have a username 8:03, 23 May 2005
