Template:TVCharacterSheetThe SWATbots (also Swatbot) are humanoid robotic shock troopers from the SatAM and Archie comics continuities. Designed by Warlord Julian Kintobor (who would later become the evil Dr. Robotnik) for use during the Great War, early SWATbot units were initially under the control of the Kingdom of Acorn, but were reprogrammed when Julian rechristened himself Dr. Robotnik and took near total control of Mobius in the year 3224. Years later, Robotnik programmed all SWATbot units with the code "Priority One", which ordered them to specifically pursue the Mobian rebel Sonic on sight, who became the dictator's arch-nemesis.

A bulkier, more formidable SWATbot breed exists in the TV series Sonic Underground. They come in several variations, use multiple vehicles, and all have orders to capture Sonic and his siblings. However, these SWATbots are incredibly inefficient, being vulnerable to water and having an easily accessed control panel on their arm.

In the Archie Comic Series there are supposedly improved models of SWATbots called Shadowbots, created by Robo-Robotnik (Dr. Eggman as he is referred to now). Eggman claims they are superior to their predecessors, but a past conflict between the original Robotnik's SWATbots seemed to prove otherwise. Shadowbots usually sport a metallic black color, much like their SatAM cousins. The Delta-class Shadowbot was soon replaced by a larger, more destructive model dubbed the Gamma-class Shadowbot. Eggman has unleashed what he calls "SWATbot Mk IIs" as of late, but so far there do not appear to be any major improvements made over the Gamma-class.

In SatAM they are voiced by Jim Cummings.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood appearence

SWATbots make an appearence as enemies in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood along with stronger versions named "SWATbot Mk.II" which serve as an Act 3 boss. A SWATbot which has lost it's programming also appears and remains neutral unless the player reminds it that it works for Eggaman. At that point a battle will ensue.

Combots

The Combots are superior versions of the SWATbot model. Far more intelligent and capable of camoflauge, they are the ultimate military robots. Many are in service to Crocbot, the sub-boss of Downunda. They despise the inferior SWATbots, one of the few signs of open intelligence among Robotnik's robot army.

Dynamic 3000

A highly adaptable robot model, the Dynamic 3000 can transform to fit any given situation. As such, it is the ultimate unit of the SWATbot class. The Dynamic model is so powerful that the only way to defeat it is by shorting it out through a massive electric shock. One Dynamic 3000 was dispatched by Robotnik to serve as sub-boss of the western sector of the Knothole continent, but it was destroyed by the Freedom Fighters before any permanent harm was done.
