Motobug
Updated - February 25, 2010

The Motobug, known as Motora in Japan, was a first generation Badnik created by Dr. Robotnik in the original Sonic the Hedgehog video game for the Sega Genesis. Motobug was the first enemy Sonic encountered in that game, and thus the first enemy encountered in the entire Sonic the Hedgehog series. The Motobug resembles more or less a robotic version of a ladybug. Its body armor is red and its face is painted dark blue. Its source of locomotion is reliant on the simple wheel mechanism located in its undercarriage. A small engine on the rear of the Badnik propels its wheel across the ground. Small pincers located below its head are its only source of defense.
