Post Description

The show takes place on a planet called Mobius sometime in the 33rd century. An infamous mad scientist named Dr. Julian Ivo Robotnik (Jim Cummings) invaded and conquered a huge city named Mobotropolis with the help of his assistant and nephew Snively (Charlie Adler) and his army of robot soldiers called SWATbots.

Robotnik was to be appointed Minister of Science by the King of Mobius, Maximillian Acorn, who was about to close the War Ministry. (Due to his robot army, Robotnik was leading the War Ministry) However, Robotnik soon betrayed the King and made the palace his own personal headquarters. (The King is not seen or heard from again) From there, he captured the rest of the citizens, including an intelligent old hedgehog named Sir Charles Hedgehog (William Windom), Sonic's uncle, and his crowning invention, the Roboticizer. Turning the device against Charles, Robotnik changed him into a robot slave. (The machine was originally intended to allow people to live longer, as machines) After doing the same to the captives, Robotnik turned his army loose on the world, Robotizing any who crossed his path. Those who managed to escape fled to Knothole village in the Great Forest to hide from Robotnik, forming a group called the Freedom Fighters to (hopefully) restore Mobius and end Robotnik's rule.
