Which version of Dr Robotnik do you like the most? And do you call him Robotnik or Eggman?
Robotnik by far. Eggman just sounds I'm a edgy teen.
Eggman was the name I knew him by the Tiger handheld I had as a kid. Still Robotnik sounds more villainesque.
Robotnik from the old sonic cartoons is the best.
i never really played the sonic games but this is still a no brainer.
The name change to "Eggman" didn't go over as well as the name change to "Peach". I think they should double back. :(
Robotnik sounds much cooler (Nerd Moment)
The name comes From Kintobor (nname backwwards). According to SEGA, the was Robotniks name untill something lead him to a "life of crime".
Besides, Eggmans just his nickname.
I prefer Robotnik, but I've just gotten used to calling him Eggman like in the recent games.
Its always been eggman stuped translators changeing peoples names
eggman is his anime name, so i would rather call him robotnik
Robotnik. I grew up with robotnik, he stays robotnik.
hahah i like how this sonic guy and rupee^_^ are the only ones who voted eggman.

Likewise.
My memory is a little fuzzy. Which one is the bumbling idiot, and which one is the evil dictator nazi robot overlord?

Robotnik is the nazi.
Quote from: Spartan - M45;1067872Robotnik is the nazi.
Not really. Robotnik was able to kidnap a bunch of cuddly animals, whereas Eggman built the robotic army that brought about the destruction of a city and almost the planet.
What about versions of Robtnik? (Pictures?)
Robtnik, hands down. I remember playing sonic adventure for the first time and hearing them call him eggman over and over and being totally confused as to why they're calling him by this gay name.

Your talking about Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 right?
Apparently, they call him Eggman but his real name is still Ivo Robotnik,

Yeah, Eggmans just a nickname because he's round and stuff.
Quote from: The Graveyard Ghost;1067979Yeah, Eggmans just a nickname because he's round and stuff.
Ro-butt-nik is totally a better pun on his name then "Eggman". Sonic's attitude has been so watered down lately. :p

This is the definite Robotnik.
Robotnik. Screw translation. :mad:
By the way, if Robotnik adopted the personality he had in The Ultimate Sonic Fan Fic, then the original cartoon would be 100 times better than it already was.

Sonic's become more like a cocky asshole recently. Before, he was just cocky on some occasions, but now he's an asshole too.
Robotnik is way better then Eggman. Really SEGA, What the Fuck? He was fine Robotnik, he Should stay Robotnik.
Ivo Julian Robotnik. That's his full name in the comics. I grew up reading those and playing the sega genesis and that's his name. Eggman is just what they call him in japan because they're unimaginative. (just look at the names for pokemon, umbreon is called "blacky", what the hell)
Quote from: YotsubaJerusalem;1068253Eggman is just what they call him in japan because they're unimaginative.
The must call Princess Toadstool "Peach" because it's easier to say and it's more kawaii. :p

"The 360 game" instantly discredits anything about it. :(
Shame, too. What if Sonic
was real (and not "real" in the
Sonic X bullshit sense)?
When I first heard the name "Eggman" on a sonic game I thought they were insulting here.
Quote from: Tabasco;1068745When I first heard the name "Eggman" on a sonic game I thought they were insulting here.
They were, but it stuck for some queer reason.
SONIC: "Hey look, it's a giant talking egg!" ROBOTNIK: "Silence! I am Dr. Robotnik, the most brilliant scientific genius in the world!" SONIC: "Whatever you say, Eggman."

still, he needs to be near circular.
Actually, in japan he has always been eggman. They just changed it to Robotnik because japan changes the names of everything to be "more american".
Robotnik, definitely.

As seen in his many different doomsday weapons. Which was the earliest to have "Egg" in the title? The oldest I remember is the Death Egg from Sonic and Knuckles.

The only game that predates
Sonic 2 is
Sonic the Hedgehog 1, and the Death Egg wasn't in it.

I'll take that as a hint that there were no "egg" weapons in the original game.
At any rate (back on subject), I've really seen more of "Eggman" than of "Robotnik," so the evil guy with the pointy head seems alien. I really liked moving the Eggman from Adventure 2 Battle in the Gardens; he looked really dumb... well, more than usual.
Quote from: YotsubaJerusalem;1068729They tried to make him all "realistic" for the 360 game. The whole point of that game according to the guy who made it was "what if sonic were real".
Yeah, seen some trailers / ingame cinematics on this one. I... I dont know. I do want to play this game, but hell no I aint buying a 360 for it.

What. The fuck.
Quote from: YotsubaJerusalem;1068600
"Hay guys I have FOUR giant NIPPULS."
"Look at them now."
"LOOK AT THEM."
What pissed me off was that Eggman would come out in a giant robot and would be like "Now look at my most amazing creation yet!" and I was all like "What the fuck you could fit a million of that shit in the Death Egg"
Actually what I want is another Sonic Adventure game. Those were the only 3D ones that were good. I still freaking LOVE SAB2.
haha i like how people don't realise the robotnik posted where he's like a big ball with arms and legs is the original robotnik from the 1st game.
Robotnik is mostly used only in french dubs now,so Eggman it is!

Thankfully that ditched that stupid design in Sonic Rush Adventure.
I used to call him Dr. Robotnik all the time, but ever since Sa2B, I always call him Eggman.

Where the heck did that design come from anyway? It looks a great deal different to the Robotnik in the games. Did DIC make that design up like how they made Bowser green and call him Koopa? (His JAPANESE name!)

From what I understand though, they based his design off the nes sprite from Super Mario Bros anyway.

That would certainly explain the lack of the redorange hair he actually should've had, but didn't due to limitations of the first game.

Yes.
I rarely find myself naming Sonic characters, but when I do I name him Eggman and I follow up by some reference to the Beatle's song.
But in a online conversation about Sonic or something I'd most likely call him Robotnik for fear of ridicule.

Robotnik without a doubt.
