| − | '''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 invasive process portrayed in the ''[[SatAM]]'' and ''[[Archie]]'' continuities, known as '''''[[roboticization|roboti<u>ci</u>zation]]'''''.

| − | From ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)]]'' to ''[[Sonic & Knuckles]]'' for the [[Sega Genesis]], 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 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.

| − | What may or may not be another robotizer appears in ''[[Sonic CD]]''. In his operations on the [[Miracle Planet]], Robotnik used plant seeds instead of animals as a power source for his badniks. Travelling into the past allows Sonic to find a crackling electric... ''thing'', which, if destroyed, obliterates all badniks across all time frames within the Act in question, paving the way to acheiving a Good Future. Whether this machine produces the badniks or simply sustains them in not known, though the former seems likely as the the device is inactive if found in the present or Bad Future, while the robots keep rolling.
