| − | '''Robotization''' refers to the imprisoning of [[Sonic]]'s [[Animal Friends|animal friends]] inside [[badniks]] - a technique which seems to be [[Dr. Robotnik]]'s favourite hobby during the early [[:Category:Games|Sonic games]]. It is distinct from the considerably more intensive technique of '''''[[roboticization|roboti<u>ci</u>zation]]''''', where robots are created by actually ''transmuting'' flesh into metal - a process portrayed principally in the ''[[SatAM]]'' and ''[[Archie]]'' continuities, but which also appears in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]''.

| |
| − | From ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)]]'' to ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]'' for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], Doctor Robotnik's mechanical legions ("[[badniks]]") used [[Animal Friends|small animals]] as a kind of "organic battery". Robotization referred to the imprisonment of a creature inside one of these robots; the organic creature remains intact and viable, but trapped and presumably not very happy. When defeated by [[Sonic]], [[Tails]], or [[Knuckles]], the badnik would explode and the trapped creature be set free.

| − | Although [[Robotnik]] has branched out from the use of living creatures as power sources in later model robots, the classic animal-containing badnik still appears in some of the more modern games, including ''[[Sonic Advance 1]]'' and ''[[Sonic Advance 2|2]]''.
| |

| − | This "organic battery" conception of robotization was also the one used in [[Fleetway]]'s ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'', although here Robotnik also uses android [[Troopers]] as soldiers, which do not contain animals.

| − | [[Sonic Spinball]] sees the blue hedgehog attack Robotnik's facility on [[Mount Mobius]]. At [[The Machine|the core]] of the Doctor's facility lies the Veg-O-Machine, a mass-robotizer device which can transform woodland critters into robots in mere seconds. This is the only instance within the games where the process of robotization has been directly observed.
