Orbot has some Thoughts on his and Cubot's scant inclusion in Sonic Prime, loosely based on a Stupid Mario Brothers blooper from Waluigi's actor hehe. Seriously tho, while I enjoyed my time with Prime, that was definitely a missed opportunity. Pirate Cubot was right there! That woulda been perfect! Have them be the antags of No Place with Cubot as the rival pirate captain before the Chaos Council invades, that woulda ruled!

THE PLUTONIUM PANZER (metal clang sounds, guitar riff)

Made the mistake of rewatching the Stupid Mario Brothers blooper compilation, so many of those bits (especially the running gags) are shapebots coded XD

...on second thought maybe it's best for my sanity and my obsession with my rarepair that Orbot wasn't in any of the shatter worlds.

Sage gets a treat, the "snowbot body" incident, and the sleepies c:

I like to think Tails Doll is less the creepypasta monster that fanon popularized and more just a slightly creepy child that isn't really evil enough for Eggman's liking, hence why it doesn't get used in the games past Sonic R. Do I care if the comics leaned into the creepypasta direction? Nope c:

I have a problem with projecting onto Orbot as of late, it seems. Given the nature of my 'sona as a shapeshifter, projecting onto anyone has some Issues attached lol.

The Salaciously Sultry Saga of Cubot Gettin' Around, or not in one case, for the sake of his best bud's comfort. (no judgement to Cuorb shippers, while I personally don't see them as lovers I can definitely see where people would get that impression and all the power to ya if you ship 'em, they just wouldn't work out that way in my stuff with my headcanons of their sexualities even if I hadn't written them as and thus seen them more as brothers in my human AU)

The Egg Rotom Saga.

The time-honored tradition of giving robot Sonic characters animal alts. Yes, cat and dog are probably very easy go-tos for these two, I don't care! (I've also seen some armadillo Orbot designs that work pretty well but um...I don't really like the way Sonic-ified armadillos look, sorry Mighty fans)

Tails take some getting used to. I mean everything's taking some getting used to, but tails especially. (and legs, and breathing, and many many more things)

MORE ORBOUGE PROPAGANDA of course his cat body purrs!!

Cat Orbot becomes a gremlin for chocolate. He has yet to figure out self-control. For any of my fellow Animorphs kids, this is his "cinnamon bun-zuh" moment XD

Playin' around with the transfem Orbot idea I had a while back and actually giving it Some Proper Thought beyond just voice actor jokes.

Orbot plays around with the new voice chip she's been working on, feat. Rouge, the voice of Karen Strassman x2, and Aigis Persona 3 references.

The cat body transitions too, albeit via more biology-based methods hehe. (this is still sfw, if Sally Acorn can get away with wearing just a vest in the old shows and Archie comics transfem cat!Orbot can be nakey for a few minutes)

Human AU shenanigans feat. my method of including the original SA-55 in this. Orville has been plural for five years and is only just now realizing it, and here's Ergo fronting. Orville and Cullen can manually change the colors of their LEDs for whatever reason, and Ergo changes it to red when fronting as a courtesy heads-up kinda thing. (sidenote, why does the fandom refer to SA-55 as Ergo? is it just a word he says a lot and people latched onto that as a nickname or something? I only ever played the Wii version of Unleashed and even then it was a very small amount of it, so I missed out on SA-55 entirely until LONG after Colors happened)

The reason Ergo exists in the first place: to keep Orville from ending things. Also the reason headmate!Ergo acts more stereotypically robotic, Orville still sees himself as fully human while a cyborg body is the only thing Ergo's ever known so he just sees himself as full-on robot.

Transfem Orbot happens in the human AU too. Ergo has some...interesting gender goals.

...so her new chosen name in human AU post-egg-cracking is Orla, named after her actual gender goals XD
