Badniks, also known as robots, are enemy robots created by Dr. Eggman in his quest to conquer the world.
History
Previous Adventures
Badniks are typically known to wander aimlessly when not given direction such as times after Eggman meets defeat.
In the past, Dr. Eggman created badniks to aid in his various schemes. Every time the doctor was defeated, however, the robots would have no leader to give them orders and/or direction, and so they would wander around aimlessly being a big threat to themselves and attacking anything they came across.

Fallout
After Sonic managed to defeat Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained, and so Sonic traveled the world to help stop the robot uprisings. In one of the towns where a group of these Badniks appeared, Sonic showed up to help fend off the attack. A group of Egg Pawns threatened a group of civilians, one of which attempted to fend off the attacking Badniks to let the others escape, but one of the Egg Pawns easily knocked down the brave young man despite him wielding a Wispon. Sonic appeared just in time to save him and destroy the Egg Pawns. A group of Moto Bugs were also among the group. A few were seen about to attack some other civilians, but Sonic showed up and easily defeated them. Afterwards, Sonic encountered a group of powerful Super Badniks called Egg Hammers, which started to give him some trouble, but Tails appeared and saved him just in time. The two teamed up and took down all of the robots with a mix of attacks, which included the Spin Dash and Rolling Combo. After Sonic and Tails started overcoming the horde of badniks, the robots attempted to escape the town, so while Sonic took care of the remaining Egg Hammer, Tails closed one of the town's gates just in time to prevent the robots from leaving, which caused them to crash into the gate and get destroyed. After Sonic left the town to save some other towns, unbeknownst to him and Tails, a Flapper watched Sonic travel away from the town, which had someone watching the visual feedback and planning their next moves.
