Deceptive Interception

Uh.... yeah....
I used a faster FPS in this animation and it turns out that it doesn't particularly play as fluidly as I'd hoped. I recommend watching my original flash on DeviantArt if this is a problem.
For more of my animations, go to cacti.deviantart.com/
Eggman & Robotnik:
Though the sound comes from Sonic SatAM, I based this on the Archie comics universe. The Robotnik that appears in this video is from a parallel reality after the original Robotnik was obliterated by his invention, the Ultimate Annihilator. The Robotnik that appears in this video also goes by "Eggman" due to his shape whereas the original one did not for obvious reasons.
Sound is from Sonic SatAM Ep. 9 "Sonic's Nightmare" & "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy.

I remember watching Sonic Shorts at age 8. My dad walked in at this part and was like “what the hell are you on?”

14 years later, I still get flashbacks to this everytime I hear the song.

[@HuTaoWeedSmoker]

Still a good song doe

[@Glowenster]

Watch Regular Show, then you'll see a bounch of poeple die in an explosion instead of Eggman dancing

[@supersonic20091]

I'm guessing Robotnik allowed the transmission to be intercepted on purpose.

[@titanictnt7476]

Definitely.

Eggman's deadliest weapon!

[@riffwizardsupreme]

His sex appeal

[@jonathantorresgonzalez3415]

If I remember in vol. 2 Eggman has beaten Sonic with his dance, then in vol. 5 revealed his 'latest ULTIMATE WEAPON' which it's him in a pink bikini. (Almost died laughing with that one, btw) This one is next in line and last but not least (I think) is the 'NICE WATCH, NERDS' in the final shorts which is vol. 8 and not just him, but Tails 2.

Now that I think about it, had he lived he could have been a better Eggman than Jim Carrey in this upcoming sorry excuse for a live action sonic movie.

Though the sound is from Sonic SatAM, I took this in an Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic direction. The Robotnik you're referring to was defeated in the comics and this Robotnik enters from a different universe to replace him.

[@theblueslugger5900]

I wonder how many kids were traumatized from this XD

It's an audio clip from Sonic SatAM Ep. 9 "Sonic's Nightmare". ;)

That's how eggman took his jacket off at Tokyo Olympic.

[@SynthLizard8]

The Sonic universe sure is a hell of a brain teaser!! With all these alternative dimension's, it's just about as confusing as the Zelda timeline (if it even has one)

[@GeneralCacti]

Technically one in the same, but in the comics, I see where confusion could be found. Once the original Robotnik was destroyed, a new Robotnik entered the scene from another dimension and picked up in the old Robotnik's stead.

[@germandragon8664]

The most important question is still open and never asked, who was the one eggman sended that transmission

[@nhimsieuthanhsonic]

Nicole

[@Jarock316]

It was probably a decoy.

[@lucomc32607]

Years later and this is still the funniest thing

[@travisboehmer9779]

For anyone curious about where Eggman's dance was from look up the old satuday night live skit with chris farley tryimg out for chippendales

[@GeneralCacti]

Actually, Robotnik takes on the updated appearance much later in the Archie Comics. Even Snively gets his own green version of Robotnik's suit.

[@burstingentity6525]

I was playing saints row 2 and I heard this song come on and to give me the strongest sense of deja vu I've had in a while and I couldn't remember what it was until I remember this existed

I’m really disappointed that sonic paradox had to remove this song from the actual short because of copyright reasons… man I hate modern society

[@GeneralCacti]

Yeah. I was young back then and shouldn't have used copyrighted music. Ahahaha. I did pick the replacement song, though.

[@homeboyje]

You did an awesome job here. Even if you think the original was better, this definately qualifies as a personal favorite. Your Sonic flashes are some of the best I've seen, keep up the awesome work.

I heard the song in a video just now and automatically thought of this video. It had been so long I was starting to think this was just a bad dream. But as soon as i looked up "working for the weekend sonic animation" and i saw the thumbnail, Eggman shirtless and somebodies eyes bleeding automatically showed up in my memory. I'll keep this video close by now.
