History
Usage by the Eggman Empire
A Picky freed from the defeated E-107 Theta.
A Picky was used to power E-107 Theta. Fortunately, that Picky was freed when Theta was destroyed by Sonic the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, and Whisper the Wolf. (StH: #8)
An unfortunate Picky was later used by Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline as a test subject for the Metal Virus in the Final Egg. As a part of this test, the terrified Picky was touched by a Pocky that had been turned into a Zombot. This caused the virus to slowly infect the Picky as well. (StH: #13)
