Concept Art and Final Form Inside
More countdown clocks hit zero today on the Sonic 4 website, revealing another badnik blast from the past.
The badnik has been seen in Splash Hill, as part of leaked video from PartnerNET that is circulating. Today, Sega made official that the enemy from Sonic 1, like Motobug, is returning. Draw your own conclusions as to the level of irony in this reveal.
Below in our gallery, you can see the badnik’s final in-game form, which is markedly different than its appearance in the 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog. You’ll also see some concept art released.

So yeah, uh, when are we going to get some NEW material that’s not just a rehash of old stuff?
I know that they want to “go back to the roots” but please, give us maybe at least 4 NEW badniks!
it’d be awesome if Splats made an appearance in Sonic 4
@Osnic;
Well, they’ve already confirmed Motobug and Newtron, and we have art of Shellcreeper and Masher, and we have proof of Buzz-Bomber and Batbot.
…Looks like 4 new badniks is impossible if there are only 9 total badniks, like the site suggests.
Im start to disapointme, i like the retro stuff, but i really wanna see new stuff., like badniks, stage designs, robotniks machines,
PD, we wanna a retro sonic game, but original, from 0.
I know the site shows a picture of nine badniks, but I don’t know if that’s proof of only nine badniks in the game.
Maybe I’m alone in thinking websites don’t give away everything like a strategy guide does.
