The diabolical tyrant scientist makes his grand entrance...

SatAM!Robotnik, from DIC's cult classic 1993 animated adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog (refered to as as "SatAM" by fans), finally joins the Ring Races!

Class: G (Weight 8 and Speed 2) [same stats as vanilla!Eggman]
Vanilla Rivals: Sonic, Blaze, Eggman
Addon Rivals: (Vanilla!)Sonic, Sally Acorn [by breadbuggenius], (Archie!)Snively [by JakeSilent]

Available both with and without the LUA script for some additional voice clips for the "death" state. Also comes with an additional "patch" to have the listed addon racers as SatAM!Robotnik's rivals; compatible with both versions.

DJ Professor K here, giving you the latest inside scoops on the hottest, newest contestants entering the Ring Races, here at our very own pirate broadcast station... Jet Set Radioooooooooo!!

Today's deets is on one particular Dr. Robotnik, but not the one you all know and love! That's right, just like another different Robotnik baring the same name, this one comes from yet another alternate dimension, and he's as different as he is mean and mad ugly!

Dr. Robotnik, formerly known as Julian, is an egotistical and megalomaniacal human man who once found himself in the alien, sapient animal world of Mobius. He was the would-be scheming dictator of that world, who sat atop his mechanical throne in the industrial, polluting city of his Robotropolis. Ruling with an iron fist with the help of his nephew Snively, he planned to convert the rest of the planet into a mad, metallic nightmare, and Roboticize all living organic creatures into his personal slaves!

But after his defeat at the hands of Sonic, Sally and the rest of the Freedom Fighters of Mobius, he's somehow found himself in a new universe, full of familiar yet different faces. And it appears these animals' favorite pastime here is... racing?!

...Well, there is an old Earth saying that Robotnik supposes applies here: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

Having built his own Ring Racer kart, he officially enters the RR Grand Prix as an unorthodox means of stress therapy, intending to inflict some serious pain on a certain blue hedgehog... even if it's not the same blue hedgehog from his own universe! Primed for revenge, and his metallic heart ablaze with a burning desire to come out on top, he's raring to take out the furry do-gooder competition on the hot asphalts... by any means necessary!

All you Ring Racers out there better watch out, because here comes trouble... Mondo Trouble! Hahahahahahahaaaa!

All racer sprites (plus the illustration for the banner), minus the kart itself, by me, MaximumVelocity, with some assistance from Tangerine Dreams (90% of the spriting work for the back sprite cape, and the minimap marker icon); created using the "Egg" Kart base that was created by SinCarma for his Extra DRRR Kart Templates. Exported via Kartmaker, then manually edited further with SLADE.

Voice clips taken, edited and spliced/"sentence mixed" from SatAM Sonic proper (mostly Season 2), with an additional laugh taken from Shocker from Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994) – since it's the same VA and all. Background music and (most) sound effects were removed using Ultimate Vocal Remover. Edited and spliced/"sentence mixed" using Audacity and Sony Vegas.

Banner illustration and signpost pose taken from the Archie Sonic comics, specifically Issue 25.

LUA script for additional voice clips for the explosion/"death" state created and edited, with full permission, by FrivolousAqua.

Special thanks to:

Tangerine Dreams for their input and feedback, helping me to follow the Ring Racers style, as well as a few revisions and additions they did during both the drafting and finalized stages.
Jacob "Good Ol' Groovy Jake" Berkley (author of the forthcoming "The Complete History of Sonic SatAM" book), as well as the members of the Fans United for SatAM / Team Sea3on Discord server, for their additional input and suggestions for my SatAM!Robotnik.

Reactions: Dark94, Superstarxalien, JayMission and 4 others
