Personality and traits
History
After the Eggman War, Dr. Eggman appeared in Windmill Village where he has taken up a new identity for himself. He now goes by Mr. Tinker after the war, he has lost his memories and can’t remember his real name. He found himself locked up in this village. The next day, he broke out just to reinforce his own cell. He was questioned and tested for days, never once showing signs of returning to his old ways. The village eventually took him in. In return, he repaired anything brought to him.[1]
Mr. Tinker began working on a wooden puppet to help fix the toys and the rides he made for the children. Her name is Belle the Tinkerer and she considered Mr. Tinker to be her father. The villagers were just starting to get to know her but were willing to give her a chance.[2]
The Chaotix received an anonymous tip from Rouge that led them to Windmill Village. They finally found Dr. Eggman here, but he isn’t Dr. Eggman. He’s Mr. Tinker now. The Chaotix thoroughly interrogated him and observed him for a couple of days to confirm he remembers nothing. Charmy quickly becomes friends with Mr. Tinker and the other kids of the village. Espio takes Sonic to Windmill Village where Mr. Tinker is. Sonic is surprised to see what Dr. Eggman has become but accepts that Mr. Tinker is not Eggman.[1]
After using the Warp Topaz to locate Robotnik, Dr. Starline begins to make his move to turn Mr. Tinker back to Dr. Eggman. He sprung Rough and Tumble out of jail so they can fetch Mr. Tinker for him, and in return he’ll give them weapons to use in revenge against Sonic. Rough and Tumble visit Mr. Tinker while he’s singing a song to children. The kids playing around watch as the two skunks take their friend away.[3]
In Final Egg, Rough and Tumble strap Mr. Tinker to a machine. Here Tinker meets Dr. Starline, who intends to restore Tinker back to being Dr. Eggman. He activates the procedure, administering neuro-stimulants and aggressive hypnotherapy to get Eggman back to his senses.[4]
Dr. Starline finishes the third session on Dr. Eggman but he still is Mr. Tinker. Tinker builds a Motobug that can make Topiary, and it secretly has a message for his daughter Belle inside.[5] Metal Sonic shows up here at Final Egg, which triggers some flashbacks for Mr. Tinker. He is now Dr. Eggman once again and he hates the outfit Mr. Tinker was wearing.[6]
