I hope that title isn't misleading, because I'm going to go ahead and assume that Sega refers to Robotnik as "Eggman" in Sonic Generations. However, the dude's name is Dr. Robotnik, and that's the guy I see in this new boss-centric trailer for the upcoming title.

In addition to the rotund doctor, you'll also catch glimpses of Metal Sonic, that crazy water boss from Sonic Adventure, and what appears to be a new menace in the form of a demonic purple cloud. I'm sure it'll all make perfect sense when the game releases on November 1st.

I prefer to call him "That coward in the Egg-shaped however-craft"
by Jeph Friday, October 14, 2011 at 05:37 PM

1. YES. His name is ROBOTNIK. Thank you.
2. Man, every freaking time. I let myself get all excited for a new Sonic game, and then I see a trailer like this that makes me think something like, "Oh. Shadow and that stupid white hedgehog (whose name I won't bother to remember) are in it. Guess I won't be playing."

uncharted...or this?
by Kflame210 Friday, October 14, 2011 at 05:39 PM

Hey uh yeah bosses are cool and all but the biggest reveal... TAILS!!! And even if he isn't playable he is at least a story character, which is by far his best role... SARCASM!!!
by Mr. Derp Friday, October 14, 2011 at 05:42 PM

I'm sure all of the bosses can be defeated by jumping on their heads...But what if they don't have a head!?!? The only people that call him "Eggman" are jerks.
by Dave Friday, October 14, 2011 at 05:42 PM

Shadow and Silver look cool. Perfect Chaos looks awesome. And Time Eater (whatever the hell he is) looks pretty *** cool too. Now here is to hoping for the fights to actually be fun.
by PIZZAKING92 Friday, October 14, 2011 at 05:44 PM

Eh, I still think this will turn out good.
by A feind of yours Friday, October 14, 2011 at 06:03 PM

by Jonathan Friday, October 14, 2011 at 06:06 PM

by Andrew Friday, October 14, 2011 at 06:09 PM

Reiner has confirmed three avatar reward items for this game and all three use the name Eggman. They are definitely going with Eggman.

No loser. Hes called eggman by him and all his friends. you guys at GI know noting about sonic. God get it right. EGGGGGGGMAN. Heck ill give you the link to the song. I am the god freaking eggman.
by pariah Friday, October 14, 2011 at 06:54 PM

I know Sonic is a chump nowadays, but I'm gonna keep giving him chances until he stars in a grocery shopping sim. That'll be the straw that breaks the hedgehog's back.
by JonnyLikesGames Friday, October 14, 2011 at 06:54 PM

Eggman is the stupidest name ever. I just can't take him seriously with a name like that. But the name Robotnik strikes fear to my heart.
