His History Revealed: A Dr. Robotnik Biography 

Robotnik: I only want to create, and help humanity! Eggman: i'M gOnNa pIsS oN ThE MoOn

If it starts with "yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation," you know it'll be a good documentary.

Most villains have a good reason why they are what they are, people just can't see past the "evil". The world creates villains by abusing them from the start, then they become what they are, then "Heroes" want to end them. I would like to see the so called heroes dive into the roots of what made a villain a villain, then actually trying to save the person so engulfed with the horrors and despair of the world.

To be fair, any kind of backstory sega makes in the future won’t hold a candle to this concept of Robotnik’s backstory... this is just too well done.

31:52 "All I hope is that I dont fall into the same darkness as my father" The fact that he started with good intentions makes him falling into villiany even sadder

It's interesting to actually see gaming villains portrayed in a positive light. You definitely nailed this video. Complete with f***ing Vietnam flashbacks.

1982: a little kid who had a father that saw nothing in his works and was pushed around 2020: I grown man that dances while working that is stuck on a planet full of mushrooms

I love how this paints Robotnik in a completely different light. It makes him out to be a tragic villian who was more of a victim of circumstance than anything else.

Did not expect to hear Eggman's Vietnam War flashback in this.

Sonic: stop imprisoning animals eggman! It’s not right Eggman: your lucky it just traps them, it could’ve done worse

Ok, Eggman calling himself "The Walrus" is a blatent reference to The Beatle's "I Am The Walrus"

Imagine the Sonic the Hedgehog movie having a spin off for Robotnik and this is the plot of it. About his past life and how he became Sonic's nemesis.

Imagine sonic just finding this tape

this is surprisingly dark

"I'll piss on the moon father, you'll see!" Fr tho this is pretty sad, great and decent.

This video: *Talks about Dr. Robtnik going to the Vietnam War, giving up on science for years, having depression, getting fat bcs of his depression and doing nothing more than eat, etc* The Sonic movie: *no thats wrong*

You gotta do one with Bowser: how a single father of 8 children copes to be a good father and a leader against a plumber

forgot the part where he pissed on the moon

Kid eggman: *animal crossing character* The eggman we know now: *egg human*

Honestly rewatching this I think the saddest part in his story is the fact that his friends didn’t even pass away or anything like his other loved ones, he simply just couldn’t find them and we never know what happened to them, at least for eggy or the rest of his family he found out or experienced their deaths but for his friends who treated him the best and definitely had him at his best simply just faded away which arguably makes it the saddest loss…

I wish this was canon. It would be interesting that he would become a psycho from a regular guy trying to protect and build an amusement park

Me again, I just realised, that's why the "badniks" have blatant weaknesses, so in case it malfunctions, robotnik can easily get the animal out in time

This is a great fan movie for a very underrated video game villan. It shows how abuse, tradegy, emotional misunderstanding, lack of love, and misplaced ambition can turn anyone into a monster. 31:50 "All I hope is that I don't fall into the same darkness as my father Harold Robotnik did" that line definitely stays with me.

Nobody appreciates the subtle genius of robotnik's hippie name being "the walrus" like the Beatles song where " i am the eggman" is also said. Honestly beautiful. Loved every minute of this

Notice how Harold gets more and more egg shaped

“Create a amusement park” that would explain some of the levels

As kids we praise our heroes and as adults we understand our villains

His parents survive in World War 2. His mother died due to childbirth. He becomes a nerd. He entered a top-secret laboratory military base in New Mexico for visiting his grandfather. He joined the US Army or Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. That's was amazing.

ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME CARE ABOUT HIM BECAUSE IT KINDA WORKED

I loved the part of the sonic series when eggman became a hippie and went to Vietnam alongside the likes of greg heffley.

I know this shows Robotnik as a good person, but remember who's telling the story, that's right, Eggman himself. We know Eggman is no stranger to lying and is likely to be fabricating this story to make himself look like the victim Whether it's real or not my theory, you did a great job with your story and it's going to be my Headcanon from now on.

Next up: His History Revealed: A Sonic the Hedgehog Biography

1991: I want to build an amusement park 2017: I want to destroy the world

This was actually fantastic to watch, and if this were cannon, I think it'd be pretty pleasant. Fantastic video.

No joke, when he realized what the password to Gerald's workshop was I had a sudden swell of emotions and almost cried. This is a truly beautiful and tragic story.

Judging by the Metal Sonic video, it's safe to assume some stuff did happen but Eggman obviously omitted details, or wasn't aware of any of them. His hippie gang not responding his letters, him saying that the animals could do anything he wants with conditional love. I mean Eggman wasn't a bad guy yet but he had some serious issues and so much trauma that he started doing stuff and thinking it was the right thing, Sonic may be cocky and kind of a dick but he noticed there was something wrong with this entire operation

Eggman probably had PTSD from the Eggy incident. Not to mention Vietnam Edit: Holy fuck

Hopefully one day there’s going to be a sonic game that tells Eggmans full story. Until then THIS is Eggmans origin story. *Like to pay respects to Eggy.*

5 years or so ago now, I, a fragile middle schooler, watched this video naively believing it would be some history of Robotnik as a fictional character. Though I didn't get what I was expecting, I stuck around, it was cool. But the death of Eggy truly shook me. Though I still watched the video through, it left me seriously discomposed and, frankly, traumatized. I was out of it for a few days and I think the association with the Death Egg Zone theme may be part of the reason I too this day don't really vibe with Sonic 2. This video honestly fucked me up. But today, looking back on it, I, stronger, can say... this is an incredible piece of work. The way the tragedies are built up to is masterful and I know now the absolute state I was in all that time ago was the result of an expert in their craft. Bravo.

I GET IT! At the end of Sonic Generations, Classic Eggman says; "Maybe I'll go back and get my teaching degree." This IS his origin story.

*looks at category* "comedy" *watches the car ride with wide eyes* yup, that's a comedy alright.

Fun fact: Everything Robotnik uses in the games is 100% based on EVERYTHING his grandfather researched back in the day. Aerospace engineering, robotics, cybernetics, archeology, Exotic Physics (Chaos Theory).

I feel like this could really be a great canon origin for Robotnik. It's also easy to morph him into the megalomaniac he would become later on via taking inspiration from the old Sonic: The Comic. Like with Doctor Ovi Kintobor, have him find and experiment on the Chaos Emeralds, and have an accident (probably caused by Sonic as well) get him dosed with Chaos energy that drives him crazy, magnifying his darker, more twisted parts of his personality.

Really cool video with nice sketches! Made me connect the dots based on what was heavily implied. Honestly, the story of Sonic Unleashed just makes this whole backstory of Robotnik even worse. What he originally wanted to make was "Robotnikland", a place of fun and joy for all to experience. What he instead made (by Unleashed) was "Eggmanland", an engineering clusterfuck of hazardous carnival rides guaranteed to torture, if not kill, those unfortunate enough to be forced in them. All of this was fueled by the energy of a monstrosity rotting the planet from the inside out and exhaled into the environment as devastating chemical pollutants, visualized by the crimson red & smog-filled sky, hardly something that would benefit the environment or people, like Robotnik originally wanted. It's even symbolized by the entrance to the park in his original vision vs what he created. In Robotnikland, the entrance is Robotnik smiling and it looks like he's happy. In Eggmanland, the entrance is Robotnik frowning and wearing his goggles... but that's not Robotnik anymore, that's Eggman. It's quite noticeable that Robotnik went completely insane by embracing the insult that Sonic branded him with as his actual being and, through consecutive failure after failure, lost all rational he had and incorporated the evil cliches Sonic labeled him with as a necessity and must be made a reality for his dream to come true. Robotnikland, now Eggmanland, became all Robotnik ever wanted, not realizing the truth behind what Robotnik slowly degraded himself into, an insult of his past ambitions, a true and pure manchild with desires interpreted from the lenses of his narrowly-perceived decaying perception of happiness. He doesn't care about anything at that point, he has Eggmanland. Do people want to be there, or is it good for the environment? It doesn't matter, he has his amusement park and he can be in it alone, forever and ever. The concept imprisoning his mind now became a physical reality.

Never seen his mother, being discourage by his father, his father killed his dog, has to join Vietnam war, his cousin died, continued by his granfather's death... Eggy deserve something better than watching his robots destroyed as his empire getting demolished by Sonic

* When sonic watches this * Sonic: "Holy crap..... *I'M A F*&^ING MONSTER!* "

Mother: dies Me: no emotion Father: doesn’t greet his son Me: still no emotion Eggy: dies Me: cries,😥😥😥😥😪😪😪😪😪😪😭😭😭☹️☹️☹️☹️😔😔😔🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😱😱😱

As much as I believe Eggman should not have a tragic backstory, this was terrific.

Oh my god. This is amazing. I've never seen such a work of Sonic fan media. This should be canon.

When you remember that one of the zones from Sonic 3 is a carnival designed by eggman, meaning that he maked he dream come true: Happiness noise

God, this is amazing. It's hard to make an audience emotional, and even harder sometimes to make them feel for villainous characters, but with almost every tragic event in this story, you accomplish that well. I also really enjoyed how his animal-powered robots were actually made relatively humane. This made me appreciate Eggman so much more.

Eggman: I WILL HELP THE WORLD!!!!! Also eggman: let's destroy half the moon, make a little planet uninhabitable, and destroy the earth,

As soon as I saw the cute little puppy, I immediately knew "Yep. That dog is going to get violently killed."

"Theres no gradual course when you've been scarred for life." this channel in a nutshell.

... i feel really sorry for you, Eggman... i really understand how it feels to lose a dog or any animal/person you loved so much... i lost 3 bigger dogs in the past: 1: a big black dog named Dozer. 2: a big dog named Duchess. 3: and a beagle-blue tick dog mix named Copper. Duchess and Dozer are both dead... idk what happened to Copper after he ran off... i feel truly sorry for you... *virtually hugs Eggman* T_T

The fact that A) he started out with good intentions, and B) that his dog was killed bye his FATHER of all people, makes this one of the saddest videos I've ever seen.

Sonic “gotta go fast!” Robotnik “‘fast’ killed my puppy.” Sonic (shocked horror)“...”

SA2 Eggman: "I miss my wife, Tails."

Never in my life did I ever imaging robotnik being a fucking Vietnam vet

Honestly I still remember watching this years ago. I know some people may think its corny giving Eggman such a complicated and kinda depressing backstory, but I think it works, and makes sense. I like how a lot of the stuff that happens foreshadows things in the future, like his motive for Robotnikland starting as a childhood fascination with amusement parks, and his background as a soldier would explain his knowledge of battle tactics and war machines. Its a smart backstory and it didn't feel forced. I'd say there's just a few suggestions I wanted to point out that I think would've been better, in my opinion. Like I wish we got some closure on the Hippie group, they just dissappeared without trace. I dunno, I just think with how close their relationship was to Robotnik, especially Clover, I kinda wish we got some explanation as to where they were or anything of the sort. Another thing, while this is definitely a great backstory, I feel like there's one thing missing. Sonic doesn't have any attachmeng at all to it. Which I suppose isn't bad on its own, but I just feel like it would've been more satisfying if Eggman's story was connected to Sonic in some way. Those are just my thoughts though, great video.

Paramount NEEDS to contact the fans behind this for the inevitable Robotnik spinoff movie after Sonic The Movie somehow does well in the box office.

“He died!” **an ad about family starts playing**

Remember when this egg-man was from a 90’s kid game? I do too.

I'd like to see what Metal Sonic would do to Eggman's father if he ever were to learn about his creator's past

I've had this video in my recommended for weeks, always putting it off and clicking away for what I assumed to be a retelling of old knowledge... But this, this is much more than any of what I could have expected. He never struck me as the type to truly feel human, because the games never let you feel that. He's always out for himself, but here, he feels human. It's a bit ironic, he who works best with machines is shown to have some of the most humanity. I don't think I'll ever quite look at him the same again.

Nobody: MugiMikey: Dr. Robotnik fought in the Vietnam War

This was actually pretty well written and narrated. It kept my attention all the way through the end of the video.

“All I hope is that I don’t fall into the same darkness my father, Harold Robotnik, did.” *Approximately 10 years later* “I’m gonna destroy Station Square to construct RobotnikLand!” Edit: I feel like this origin story is pretty compatible with the video game canon, because I believe Sonic drove Eggman insane later on, forgetting his original motive and becoming increasingly obsessed with Sonic’s destruction.

the moment the dog was introduced I knew it could only go downhill from there

I love how you made not only a believable back story for Eggman, but you also might have intentionally or unintentionally made a character that might explain where Eggman's descendant, Eggman Nega came from. Awesome

I would've loved the idea that Robotnik actually made sonic as a power source and slowly began to fall into a similar state to his father. With sonic originally being a normal briwn hedgehog but with some source making him The way he is now.

Please do more "Their History Revealed" videos they are quite entertaining please continue making such entertaining content

Robotnik: "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?" Sonic: evil grin "....It's in my nature...."

Eggman: Gerald died not long after that visit. "TRY ALL NEW AND ORGANIC CRISPY LAYS BAKED POTATO CHIPS!"

Eggy: * Passes away * Me and Zamasu: “ZERO MORTAL PLAN-“

"We had to sign some non-disclosure agreements" *proceeds to tell the audience everything*

WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT ROBOTNIK AS A KID WAS A BOY VILLAGER IN ANIMAL CROSSING

*sees runtime* "huh around 32min I'll watch about 5 see how it goes" 32mins later "wait it's already over " ;-;

This is a really good backstory, and the fact Ivo wanted to build a theme park, which was taken out of the original idea of the first Sonic movie that was planned back in the 90s is a nice touch. But goddamn, Eggy’s death was just cruel.

Plot Twist; The untold issue, is that he got so attached to his desire of achieving his dream, he eventually started caring for it and only for it, he stopped considering he could be wrong, he stopped caring for his own species, all he ended up caring about, was his urge to fulfill his dream and bring it upon reality, no matter what gets in his way, nor who he has to destroy in order to achieve it.. but even then, he really wants to make the world a better place, Ivo's just doing bad actions, with a good purpose.. one way another, that's a man you could admire.

Eggman: Has humanity really evolved only to reduced themselves to low beasts? Me: Yep! Pretty much!

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

That was amazing! Great imagination on creating a realistic & sympathetic back story for a 2D villain that makes him relatable in order to understand what drives him. WELL DONE!

Anyone else notice when he went to the amusement park, it was the most fun he’d had in his entire life. The wording makes it sound like, too this day, he has never experienced a more joyful thing besides that till the day he recorded this.

Honestly the best fan made backstory ever, better than most original video game backstories that are cheap tropes, or clichés instead of being original creative and dare I say genius works of art just like how this "Biography" was, a truly remarkable piece of literature. In all seriousness this was incredible, great job MugiMikey and everyone else who was involved in creating this.

I hope Sega make a third person shooter about robotnik in Vietnam

"I took on the title of "The Walrus"" HAHAHA I love the beatles reference!! I am the walrus ! I am the eggman! Coo coo kachoo!

Eggman is one of my all-time favourite video game villains! Jim Carrey played the villain very well!

just imagine if Robotnik and Sonic worked together? that amusement park would be complete in the blink of an eye

You know, I feel bad for Harold as well. He lost his wife, and just fell into a deep depression which he never got out of. There were even a few moments where he tried to be a good dad..He just snapped after the death of his wife and spiralled down 'till his eventual death.

Damn. Just found this again. Damn. Just cried at this again.

I absolutely love this video, seeing not only a Darker and more serious Eggman but his motivations as well are phenomenal and I love it to bits. A perfect backstory stemming from this video to the Current Modern Day Eggman could be this same Eggman discovering Shadow's containment Vessel in search of ways to build his park strong enough for the Hedgehog to not destroy only to Come across a Video made by his own Grandfather cursing the very world he once worked for and telling his story to shatter the Doctor's dreams and make him realize how much this world seemed to hate him, the light in his humane eyes dying down. Then to take it a step further the video could self destruct in his face and disfigure him but permanently fusing his glases onto his eyes to take away the windows to his soul as he begins a quest for world domination in vengeance for his grandfather and his niece.

Robotnik’s Dad: (Practically makes Eggy explode) Me: *Your sin is unforgivable.*

"That's when I knew I would have to risk the stock market." You had way to much fun writing this.

I like to think this was Recorded before the first Sonic game takes place, and over time Robotnik just does become evil after a thousand defeats, no longer about protecting his "Animal Friends" and more defeating Sonic by any means necessary

I watched this right after seeing your Metal Sonic video. I appreciate how Eggman isn't painted as purely evil. Nobody sees themselves as the villain, so this feels like how he would actually describe himself.

if this was canon, it would change the whole sonic franchise forever

Sounds really interesting, but what would also be cool is to hear Sonic's Biography, his side.

Omachoa:did you know the doctors mustache is fake?

This is one of if not the MOST serious video you ever made MugiMikey...
