Are There Two Sides to Evil In-Game?
To cap off the first of what will likely be several busy days for us regarding GamesCom coverage, we have a new piece of artwork to show you from Sonic Generations.
Unfortunately, if you were hoping for two forms of Eggman to complement similar setups for Sonic and Tails, for now we only have one–the modern–to show off here. Sega released it as part of its GamesCom press pack late Tuesday.
We will, of course, watch and see if Eggman also gets the retro treatment–even if that’s in the form of one Dr. Robotnik. In the meantime, we have a couple dozen screenshots to share with you if you’ve not browsed here the past couple hours, including new shots of Seaside Hill and Spagonia, as well as the unveiling of Mushroom Hill for the 3DS edition–also complete with screenshots.

UHH? if you look closely to the Big Arm boss battle you can see Classic Eggman inside the machine so its a matter of time before his art work comes out.
Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik: still badass as he was 20 years ago.
Gee, it sure is boring around here. I just wonder what Eggman is up to.
Can’t wait to classic robotnik
I got all excited when I saw the title of this article. XD
Ehh, its just artwork, still cool though.
PINGAS
This may be the sexiest picture of Dr. Eggman yet…No homo.

Eggman knows best!
I’m the Eggman, that’s what i am!
You know, I think this is the first time ever that I’ve looked at modern Eggman and NOT hated the re-design. I don’t even know why, but all of a sudden, it just feels right (still not as great as the original, but tolerable nonetheless!)
I think it has something to with his limbs being slightly more well-proportioned. He doesn’t look as much like a creepy spider-person as he has in the past. Thickening is arms and lowering his shoulders probably helped…

Mah boi, this peace is what all Freedom Fighters strive for!

WHEN YOU WANT TO COMPLIMENT A FRIEND
I’m sure we’ll most likely see Classic Eggman/Robotnik. The guy’s face is on the classic spinning sign at the end of Classic Sonic’s levels, so maybe…
Well Classic Robotnik’s face is on the sign at the end of the stages, you see him in the Big Arms boss for the 3DS version, at the end of the Spagonia/Seaside Hill/Chemical Plant trailer you get a tease of Eggman Robo from Sonic 2 which is designed off of Classic Robotnik.
I’m pretty sure we’ll see him. lol
While I find this boring due to the fact that this artwork of Eggman is so generic with the many artworks of Eggman since his mild redesign in Sonic Heroes, at least they made it look good.
I mean, I like Eggman’s Adventure/Modern design/style better than Classic Robotnik’s Classic designs because it just looks cooler, less plain, more creative, etc etc. But I’m still more interested in seeing Classic Robotnik for the sole reason that he is the less commonly seen version of the character at this current day and time. lol Plus I wanna see how SEGA makes him look in 3D CGI and such. Cuz on the sign and stuff he looks EXTREMELY simplistic to the point he looks semi-cartoonish. And I don’t mean like Classic Sonic. I mean he looks less convincingly… “3D”, and Modern Eggman looks very much 3D CGI. So I’m trying to imagine them together. I mean I CAN but idk if he’s only gonna look 2D on the sign, cuz I can’t tell if Classic Sonic does on the sign or not…
Well now I’m just rambling so I’ll stop now. XD Still, can’t wait. And I also can’t wait for Knuckles if they show him and POSSIBLY even Amy. XD
if you want to see classic eggman look at the sign post at the end of the GHZ demo
meh

Even Eggman is doing the “waving finger pose” bit XD Ah. . Makes you glad the Franchise has lasted long enough to parody itself. ^-^ I’m telling you, that “finger waving pose” is contagious . . .
Eggman’s like, “bitch please”
That’s his Sonic Advance 2 artwork without the awkward behind the back view:

Robotnik’s model is looking better than Unleashed and Colours!!! Awesome!!!
Classic should be called Robotnik.
i didnt like the eggman in sonic colors, this is cool… why?
Why does everyone refer to classic Eggman as “Robotnik”? He was always Eggman. Always. Robotnik was just something thought up by SoA, which was abandoned in 2001.
I have no doubt Classic Eggman will be in it. Ilzuka said something in an interview once about how it’s Eggman’s 20th Anniversary too and they haven’t forgotten about that. Also,kClassic Eggman was seen in the signposts for Classic Sonic in Green Hill, pretty much confirming his presence in the game.
(But yeah, Robotnik is a much better name, even if it was just something SoA thought up.)
@Myst
He was only “always” Robotnik in Japan. Literally every piece of Sonic-related media (including the games themselves) in the US referred to him as Dr. Robotnik up until Sonic Adventure. We use that name because we grew up with it and because it’s just BETTER.
Ironically, it was actually Sonic Adventure that retconned everything and changed his his official real name to “Ivo Robotnik”, and yet every game since has referred to him as Eggman, despite that being canonized as merely a shitty nickname that Sonic used as an insult.
His headgear is different 0_0
@ChaoticFox *Coughsonic2wingfortresszonecough*
@Sonick
And what 10-year old kid is gonna notice that and go “OH! CLEARLY that must be his actual name despite everything I’ve been told up to this point”? lol
Hm, i think i know the plot for sonic gens xD.
.
Eggman awakens time eater monster/robot thing.
robot/monster eats time.
Sonic gets sent back in time.
random vortexes appears sending him to different eras.
Sonic and team gets sent to a era with the time eater.
time eater abandons eggman for its evil purpose. (Like ALWAYS.)
eggman has to team up with sonic.
they destroy it, sending the classic characters back in the old days forgetting about the whole adventure. end of the nutshell
I hope we see official artwork of Classic soon. I just hope a lot of people don’t get into an “Eggman VS Robotnik” fight about what to call him…
