This is the first time I've heard the character saying anything. I literally had no idea what his personality or mannerisms were like. Almost reminds me of the evil clown from the Spawn movie. The voice actor was on point! I'm actually kind of surprised they let him get away with his performance, considering it was a show for children.
@@katelynbodiford5680 Seriously though, it would be awesome to see these two Eggmen encounter each other. The villainous Robotnik and the Hilarious, smart,angry, Eggman.
That Robotnik's voice sounds more fitting for Sonic '06 than Mike Pollock. Mike Pollock is a good Eggman, but I think he doesn't have the sinister tone that Jim gave the character.
*Snively, What Color Is My Heart?* *I... I Don't See a Heart Sir.* *Exactly!* Damn. This is a great line for a villain. Sonic SatAM was really a great cartoon.
"If nothing else, you HAVE been a most worthy adversary." "But, in every game, there are winners and there are losers." "And as you know, in THIS game, losers get ROBOTICIZED!"
"NAOOOW!" i was 4 when that episode came out and sonic saying that made me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh even when the commercials came on it was just too out of place and notice how Sonic still has his backpack on? What's in that thing?
I love how, when returning from his 'trip' in the first episode, when he tells Snively to shut up he sounds happy to say it. Like he missed saying that.
i love how this robotnick never messes around, when sonic came to his base he tried to robotisize him no questions asked, he fires deadly lasers at the freedom fighters on a regular basis, his robots are designed to hunt down and kill there target with no mercy, etc. You dont want to get on this guy's bad side.
***** The other robotnik is funnier and probably more enjoyable, but with this robotnik, he's so much more... diabolical and you feel like you're on his side, almost. owo
I like the dark atmosphere of this Sonic TV show. Robotnik was truly scary and the whole roboticizing of the world was spooky. I miss when Eggman acted a lot more evil in personality instead of just having evil plans.
@@razorionxvii638 what if he did? what if this one did win, dicovered dimensional travel and he sent the roboticized sonic to the one version of him that kept losing.
Why can't we have villains like this anymore? He's ugly and big yet pleasant to watch, he's truly evil just for his own ambitions, abusing everything and anyone for his gains, threatening and he never let up with his deeds and constantly proves his point to never cross him ever no matter what, even being able to turn the good guys against each other. Had Sonic not gotten his power rings they would have fallen since Robotnik even managed to defeat and kill the original freedom fighters in a cruel and devious way as always

Jim Cumming makes this version of Dr Eggman/Robotnik the most threatening one. But then you see this is a kid’s show and he still loses in silly ways at Sonic and you can’t take him seriously anyways. Well, this the only time aside of Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic Adventure 2 that Eggman has been threatening.
i do belive that sonic lost worlds had one or two moments were he was threatening. the one that comes to mind is when he threathens the rebellious zeti
Oh he's always been threatening in the mainstream games, & other media. It's just that Sonic has been at it so long that he makes him look like a joke. Also it is Sonic beating him we're talkin about here. It's not like Sonic is a super serious brooding hero type like Batman, or whatever. He's more like the Flash with how he likes to beat his bad guys ina flashy, more comical sort of way whenever he can, but when it's really crunch time the kid gloves come off, & we see big more serious defeats like with Sonic Forces, or the Genesis era/styled games, or yes even Sonic 06, but I totally get what you're saying. It is sometimes very hard to take him seriously, but then can you blame when his enemy is Sonic the Hedgehog of all "people"?
My top 5 Robotniks from least to greatest and why: 5. Dr.Eggman (X) he was entertaining, but I never thought "uh oh trouble" whenever he appeared. 4. Ivo (AoSTH) he was an over the top meme and I like memes. 3. Robuttnik (SU) he was a nice blend of villainous and silly, a blend I don't think X could reach, but he wasn't the funniest or the most intimidating so now he seems like a lesser Aku. 2. Eggman (Boom) he is hilarious. He knows that he's a cartoon and embraces it, but also has has a life outside of evil (that eventually turns evil anyway). 1. Julien (SatAM) he is a great villain, I legitimately feel like this portrayal was why both of the Adventure games was focused with just getting shit done instead of exchanging banter like in Colors. He had the voice, he had the tone, and the only moments where we laugh with him around are usually when he was tormenting Snively. This Robotnik turned King Acorn and Naugus without giving it a second thought and would strangle anyone just because he saw them.
Hey, have you given Archie's Comic's Sonic the Hedgehog a read? I think you'd find that version of Robotnik worthy of being at the top of the list, especially since the first 50ish issues are largely based on the SatAM show, except after Robotnik's "defeat" they continue past it, up to I think 290 issues before being cancelled.
@@Bloodlyshiva yeah as well sonic spinned him 360 in his chair at his speed and he’s frozen by a dragon for a while but was fine after so he’s probably very durable
Eh, he was a bit too goofy for a while. In later years he was drawn far larger, more imposing. By the time the Mecha Sonic arc occurred, he was at his best. Tsk...then they brought him back while Eggman was around and he was drawn all wrong. White eyes instead of red, his head too fat for the rest of his body...but the worst came after the Worlds Collide storyline when Robotnik was erased from continuity. As far as everyone remembered, he always looked like Eggman.
"A nice dream. But dreams are meant to be...broken." This is what Robotnik should have always been. An intimidating evil genius, who thinks of everything in advance and plans around it. Now he's a laughable idiot.
+Ran Yakumo If its any consolation prize the Archie Sonic Comics feature this Robotnik prominently. In other news I agree with you this man lost his intimidation around Underground and he never got it back.
In the comics even Eggman is devious and badass but frighteningly terrifying with how quickly he would just kill you right there and now no matter who you are
I still can't decide which Robotnik I like the most... The one from the other show is much more... laughable, but this one, so much more.... much more... Diabolical... Mehehe...
Probably the best way to make Robotnik/Eggman is to make him somewhat laughable until his plans start to fall apart; once that happens, it would be glorious to see the sinister side of this guy, like in the adventure games. Both capable of creating diabolical plans, but also of getting his hands dirty when he needs to.
@@notalive5479 Sounds like the Archie Comic's version of him (or Ian Flynn's specifically). He can be so fun to read, so goofy, so deliciously vain, so adventurous, with such swagger about him, and he is a true genius, but he can be extremely intimidating and there's no question he's an absolute monster. What's more, god help you if you end up on his shitlist. He might be entertaining to read, but this is a guy who controls massive swaths of the world, casually commits genocide, tortures prisoners in ways that'd make AM from "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" proud, and will roboticize anything or anyone, be they ally or enemy, if doing so will fit into his master plan, make life more convenient, or even just amuse him. And he's so competent that you get a real sense that if Sonic wasn't around to keep him in check, no one would be able to stop him.
@@bw8362 Boy Eggman in the new Sonic would not want to be near this version of him even Modern Sonic they would both be huddled together shaking in fear like babies XD
I loved that when Antoine trapped Robotnik and even down in the pit he is still confident because he has planned for that problem. I loved the idea that this version of Robotnik was in power because he planned for almost any eventuality so everything the freedom fighters did only slowed him down. And that line "Oh please. Something is rotten in Topeka...wherever that is." I always lose it there.
It is rather amusing that Robotnik didn't much about Kansas, but I guess that Kansas wouldn't be a state if most of the human population is gone. According to Ben Hurst, both Robotnik and Snively are from Earth. In a script that Ben wrote, Mobius is a future version of Earth.
When you're someone even this Robotnik fears you know you're a powerhouse. Side note I always hated that scene where asks Snively about the color of his heart. It just always grossed me out.
Jim Cummings is awesome as Dr Ivo Robotnik in this version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Considering he has also played as Duckwing Duck, Whinnie the Pooh, Tigger as well as the laughing hyena Ed from the Lion King to the final few moments of Scar's singing voice in Be Prepared to the singing voice of Rasputin in Anastasia during the song In the Dark of the Night. I also remember that he was also the voice of Shredder in the 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well as Kaa in The Jungle Book 2 and in contrast he has also played as Bonkers. He has played both the hero and villain roles so well in his voices as well as comical characters too.
@@TheKrensada Absolutely agree! Rewatched it earlier this year and really enjoyed it, I wish more shows were like it, especially Sonic. X was good but it felt too childish most of the time.
Robotnik is the *worst* incarnation of the character, lol. The crucial part of the overall mix that makes Eggman work is that he's always able to engage in battle with the hedgehog by himself, and actually constructs his machines and works toward the establishment of his by himself. By contrast, Robotnik just sits on his ass, bossing his nephew around, and instead of constructing his labor force, he stole someone else's technology to build it. Eggman is supposed to be sinister and funny at the same time. Robotnik leans too hard into the first part, creating a dull cardboard that doesn't deserve to be called Robotnik.
Imagine we got the timeline where Jim did the AOSTH Robotnik like he did in the pilot, and we never got this amazing Robotnik. I mean, he did good in that AOSTH pilot, but man this... This is a whole nother level.
Dr robotnik is the most serious and just pure evil and also be the least serious and comically evil character depending on what 90's sonic show you're watching
knowing nothing about sonic at all except what I gathered from nerd-osmosis I must say, he is actually a more intimidating villian than I expected, I really like the voice... I´m impressed
reason WHY we old school people LOVE HIM AS ROBOTNICK?? AND NOT EGGMAN?? We old school guys have a great reason why. Robotnick is Nasty............... Eggman is a JOKE.................
@Long-Tailed Charmander - The biggest con of Eggman is that he's named EGGMAN. Seriously, it sounds like a bad Nickelodeon character. Anything Eggman does can never be taken seriously with a name like that. If you were young in the days when Sonic was new and Robotnik was in absolute fact the name of his villain for 10-12 years, and you've seen this series, and suddenly they change his name to Eggman, and everybody insists that his name is Eggman, even the older generations of people who never heard of Sonic until the new 2k version became uber popular to where your version is completely left in the dust like so many other versions of things you had... you would be upset, too.
Such a shame that this show never aired in Japan. It would have been awesome to see who would have been cast as Dr. Robotnik. I could see Norio Wakamoto fitting the role perfectly.
I always come back to watch this every now and then. I will say that there will never be a version of Robotnik that was so vile, frightening and evil. Seething with such anger as Sonic and the gang destroy his machines and ruin his plans. One that would stop at nothing to get what he wants. This caliber of villain doesn’t really exist anymore out side of comics, but who knows maybe one day we’ll get that again.
+Blood0cean: Yes very true. sad the kids today don't realize yet anyway true beautie and the best. actor for Dr. Robotnik: Jim Cummings. plus snivly is the best second in command for the Doctor, and not only that but this one goes back story mode. Before the reign of Dr. Robotnik.
This is what I like to call the Dark Robotnik: The one you're afraid of because he'll make you into a robot slave without a second thought and has always been in control for years despite Sonic's best efforts. He'll make sure you have a warm Welcome into Robotropolis...(Insert Robotnik laugh)
This robotnik is the most evil version of the character he's got all basic villian traits like greed lying cheating and thirst for power but this version has the evil tyrannical dictator so well he strikes fear in practically everyone plus most of the planet is under his rule as shown by his city of pollution to Sandy wastelands all except one forest how many other versions of Robotnik can say they've done that.
I'd genuinely love to see this version of eggman in a game, a complete maniac who will go to levels that can even endanger his own life with no redeemable qualities and needs no help. He can still be a bit goofy but he is legitimately scary at points. The closest we got to this version is in adventure 2, and they did the "Goofy every now and then" thing well.
I just love that OK KO had Boxman, who’s loosely inspired by eggman, and they’re both voiced by Jim. Except Boxman is a big gay pushover and robotnik is scary in these old cartoons
It's hard to believe that the guy who voices Robotnik is the voice of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.
And Ed the hyena.
Wha?
rofl
Oh bother...
I call BS
Probably the most evil incarnation of Robotnik in the franchise.
Jim Cummings' performance is absolutely chilling.
I’d argue Fleetway Robotnik is the most evil, but this guy is pretty close.
Of course 'pingas man' is voiced by someone whom last name is 'cumming'
Ironic, coming from the same actor who also voices Winnie the Pooh.

31Tancos So basically the Archie Comics when he is written by Ian Flynn
Gilamex I agreeI like both are awesome but for very different reasons
@@notalive5479 Sounds like the Archie Comic's version of him (or Ian Flynn's specifically). He can be so fun to read, so goofy, so deliciously vain, so adventurous, with such swagger about him, and he is a true genius, but he can be extremely intimidating and there's no question he's an absolute monster. What's more, god help you if you end up on his shitlist. He might be entertaining to read, but this is a guy who controls massive swaths of the world, casually commits genocide, tortures prisoners in ways that'd make AM from "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" proud, and will roboticize anything or anyone, be they ally or enemy, if doing so will fit into his master plan, make life more convenient, or even just amuse him. And he's so competent that you get a real sense that if Sonic wasn't around to keep him in check, no one would be able to stop him.
this robotnik is so badass this one is my favorite incarnation of dr robotnik
And one of the most intimidating characters I know.
A great blueprint to one of the villains I have in the works.
@@noisemarine561 What's so cool is that Robotnik has Sonic exe's eyes XD.
@@miroslavzima8856
And he's voiced by the famous Jim Cummings too.
@@bw8362
Boy Eggman in the new Sonic would not want to be near this version of him even Modern Sonic they would both be huddled together shaking in fear like babies XD
I would to see Today's Sonic take on this Robotnik.
blazingsonic Even classic sonic would easily defeat this robotnik in one game. Modern sonic? He would rekt this robotnik in few minutes :)
Oh totally, no sneaking around just come in and wreck the city. Especially when you throw in Super Sonic.
blazingsonic And no boss fight at the end because satam robotnik suck at piloting machines xd
Sega Sonic: *Just runs by*
Robotnik: I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!! *Spins out of control*
blazingsonic he would kill Sonic with a shotgun cuz he sucks at the vehicles
The evil Jim Cummings! Hard to believe that, in his later years, he was reduced to playing lesser-known characters like Wormwood the Raven...
Didn't he also voice Winnie the Pooh?
jordangaming101 he did indeed
i like the style of robotnik,he looks like a dictator
His current look makes him look a clown
At least Eggnan is more active than Robotnik
Its because he is.
I loved that when Antoine trapped Robotnik and even down in the pit he is still confident because he has planned for that problem. I loved the idea that this version of Robotnik was in power because he planned for almost any eventuality so everything the freedom fighters did only slowed him down. And that line "Oh please. Something is rotten in Topeka...wherever that is." I always lose it there.
"Something is rotten in Topeka... Wherever that is."
It is rather amusing that Robotnik didn't much about Kansas, but I guess that Kansas wouldn't be a state if most of the human population is gone.
According to Ben Hurst, both Robotnik and Snively are from Earth. In a script that Ben wrote, Mobius is a future version of Earth.
"What color is my heart?" "I don't see a heart, sir.." "Exactly."
A nice dream, but dreams are meant to be...Broken.
A.O.S.T.H Robotnik: Piss your pants with laughter.
Sonic SatAM: Pissing your pants with fear.
The SatAM Robotnik was the first time he was truly menacing.
I don't think it was satAM, but this cartoon series
@@HeyItsAmber99 This is Satam.
And the last time.
@@chrisrj9871 excluding the comics
When you're someone even this Robotnik fears you know you're a powerhouse. Side note I always hated that scene where asks Snively about the color of his heart. It just always grossed me out.
exactly
Bro never brushes his teeth, it's fine.
Imagine if Apocalypse got this voice in Xmen
I would of cum in my pants during his lines
Pretty much
Holy shit, that REALLY would have turned that movie around !!
Let's be honest and truthful here, it wouldn't have fit him AT ALL lol
Robotnik: Send me your surveillance tapes, *NOW!*
Snively (mocking): Send me your surveillance tapes, *NOW!*
Jim Cummings is awesome as Dr Ivo Robotnik in this version of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Considering he has also played as Duckwing Duck, Whinnie the Pooh, Tigger as well as the laughing hyena Ed from the Lion King to the final few moments of Scar's singing voice in Be Prepared to the singing voice of Rasputin in Anastasia during the song In the Dark of the Night.
I also remember that he was also the voice of Shredder in the 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well as Kaa in The Jungle Book 2 and in contrast he has also played as Bonkers.
He has played both the hero and villain roles so well in his voices as well as comical characters too.
Okay…I actually have to watch this now. Robotnik is menacing and even intimidating at point dear lord-
This was and still is the best STH cartoon made.
@@TheKrensada Absolutely agree! Rewatched it earlier this year and really enjoyed it, I wish more shows were like it, especially Sonic. X was good but it felt too childish most of the time.
This is my favorite version of Dr Robotnik is more dark and serious like be should be
xdarkmario But if even the games eggman was always goofy villain (except SA2 and 06) shouldn't it be other way around?
meh, he actually accomplished things with his dark demeanor
Jim Cummings makes robotnik such a scary ass villain
Still a badass evil voice
Half the time it sounds like he's getting off or something.
Someone giving him a special favor under the desk, most likely...
When you love what you do, you never work a day.
Comparing this Robotnik to modern Robotnik, or "bad-Nickelodeon-character-name", is depressing.
Robotnik is the *worst* incarnation of the character, lol.
The crucial part of the overall mix that makes Eggman work is that he's always able to engage in battle with the hedgehog by himself, and actually constructs his machines and works toward the establishment of his by himself.
By contrast, Robotnik just sits on his ass, bossing his nephew around, and instead of constructing his labor force, he stole someone else's technology to build it.
Eggman is supposed to be sinister and funny at the same time. Robotnik leans too hard into the first part, creating a dull cardboard that doesn't deserve to be called Robotnik.
@@doctorstarline5647 - my idea of bad-Nickelodeon-character-name: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
@@doctorstarline5647 this is invalidated by the way i heard him say his name one time, making him the best version ever
his original name is eggman, robotnik is just an american adaptation because they thought eggman sounded silly
@@doctorstarline5647 worst?? no
oh thats good! thats very good! waiwaiwait lower LOWER LOWER .... OH THATS JUST DELICIOUS
Costas Constantnou Nostalgia Critic XD
*It warms the cockles of my heart...*
I watched this show at Netflix and also does anyone agree with me that Robotnik is a badass villain?
rainbowcelin not as badass as Skeletor
@@CaptainHatecrime
Robotnik needs his own Villain song that would be so cool to see.
Katelyn Bodiford uh.. have you HEARD his theme in this show? It’s perfect.
This is by far Robotnik most evil incarnation I have ever seen.
Hands down the most terrifying version of the character
Imagine we got the timeline where Jim did the AOSTH Robotnik like he did in the pilot, and we never got this amazing Robotnik.
I mean, he did good in that AOSTH pilot, but man this... This is a whole nother level.
SatAM Robotnik is so evil, even modern Dr. Eggman would be scared of him
Dr robotnik is the most serious and just pure evil and also be the least serious and comically evil character depending on what 90's sonic show you're watching
I do believe I have found that paper weight I've always wanted.
That bit about the heart at 3:15 always gave me goosebumps as a kid.
Badass villain
Robotnik used to be so intimidating and violinist,now we are stuck with the man whos greatest creations go against him!
Violinists have to be intimidating, you know. Otherwise no-one would treat them seriously.
Dimm Vargr exactly...Robotnik intimidates me all the time..but eggman...the guy who came up with the hot mobile!
how do you go from awsome to wtf?
Kenzie Sky Sega. You can't explain that.
:P
Dimm Vargr
...okay...

If you were on this robotnik, I am sure you would GLADLY go with the modern eggman.
Best dr.eggman

True
Don’t forget Jim Carrey
No one:
Snively at 1:39 : "YoUr iMMenSe DenSIty"
I mean, that was pretty ballsy of him, if anything.
My heart still belongs to Julian, tho.
@@hopelesslysimping love ur name btw 🤝
Not even 5 seconds in and Robotnik’s already wheezing
You know when you're dealing with a top tier villain when he jet boots out of your trap and starts shooting laser beams from his finger.
Damn robotnik! A nice dream, but dreams are meant to be... *_BROKEN_*
knowing nothing about sonic at all except what I gathered from nerd-osmosis I must say, he is actually a more intimidating villian than I expected, I really like the voice... I´m impressed
Love this robotnik
6:53 now that is nightmare fuel
Just imagine someone like this coming for you
I see why Antoine beeps.
A nice dream, but dreams are meant to be……
*BBROKEN.*
Delightful moments of Dr. Ivo Robotnik.
They warm the cockles of my metallic heart..
reason WHY we old school people LOVE HIM AS ROBOTNICK??
AND NOT EGGMAN?? We old school guys have a great reason why.
Robotnick is Nasty...............
Eggman is a JOKE.................
@Long-Tailed Charmander - The biggest con of Eggman is that he's named EGGMAN.
Seriously, it sounds like a bad Nickelodeon character. Anything Eggman does can never be taken seriously with a name like that.
If you were young in the days when Sonic was new and Robotnik was in absolute fact the name of his villain for 10-12 years, and you've seen this series, and suddenly they change his name to Eggman, and everybody insists that his name is Eggman, even the older generations of people who never heard of Sonic until the new 2k version became uber popular to where your version is completely left in the dust like so many other versions of things you had... you would be upset, too.
Such a shame that this show never aired in Japan. It would have been awesome to see who would have been cast as Dr. Robotnik. I could see Norio Wakamoto fitting the role perfectly.
I always come back to watch this every now and then. I will say that there will never be a version of Robotnik that was so vile, frightening and evil. Seething with such anger as Sonic and the gang destroy his machines and ruin his plans. One that would stop at nothing to get what he wants. This caliber of villain doesn’t really exist anymore out side of comics, but who knows maybe one day we’ll get that again.
Take a good look makers of Sonic Boom THIS is how you make a good Eggman!
+Quinn Fletcher eggman is a travesty, he will always be known as DR ROBOTNIK
+Blood0cean: Yes very true. sad the kids today don't realize yet anyway true beautie and the best. actor for Dr. Robotnik: Jim Cummings. plus snivly is the best second in command for the Doctor, and not only that but this one goes back story mode. Before the reign of Dr. Robotnik.
Kaleb Rethwisch u guys shud watch the first animation, the voice and character of robotnik was a british singer.
0:29 lmao it's shigechi
I love his voice!
This is what I like to call the Dark Robotnik: The one you're afraid of because he'll make you into a robot slave without a second thought and has always been in control for years despite Sonic's best efforts. He'll make sure you have a warm Welcome into Robotropolis...(Insert Robotnik laugh)
This robotnik is the most evil version of the character he's got all basic villian traits like greed lying cheating and thirst for power but this version has the evil tyrannical dictator so well he strikes fear in practically everyone plus most of the planet is under his rule as shown by his city of pollution to Sandy wastelands all except one forest how many other versions of Robotnik can say they've done that.
I suppose the SA version of Robotnic could brag that he blew up half the moon... but meh
I'd genuinely love to see this version of eggman in a game, a complete maniac who will go to levels that can even endanger his own life with no redeemable qualities and needs no help. He can still be a bit goofy but he is legitimately scary at points. The closest we got to this version is in adventure 2, and they did the "Goofy every now and then" thing well.
The Voicing in SA1 was akin to this too
9:56 And so, the SATAM Metal Sonic was born.
Pausing at the 6:30, you can see a little question mark appear near Robotnik
Kind of a funny easter egg for such a serious show
Omg! Snivley's squeak! I'd squeak too if Robotnik was mad at me.
So? Antoine BEEPS.
3:12 This is the most well though jokes for a supervillain
Dr robotniks is more scarier than dr eggman
I just love that OK KO had Boxman, who’s loosely inspired by eggman, and they’re both voiced by Jim. Except Boxman is a big gay pushover and robotnik is scary in these old cartoons
Jim carrey will play Dr Robotnik i am from the future
Wew lad, amazing
