The Coachnik was a Badnik built by Dr. Robotnik in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. Appearing in the episode "Coachnik", he was designed to train Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts to become a better S.S.S.S.S. Squad so that they could at last defeat Sonic the Hedgehog. Of course, Robotnik's plan didn't work out as he had hoped.
History[]
Dr. Robotnik grows tired of Scratch and Grounder's failures at trying to capture Sonic, so he builds a large robot to train them to catch Sonic once and for all: the Coachnik. The Coachnik shows Scratch and Grounder certain techniques that in fact do work for the time being; however every time Sonic appears, they still constantly fail to catch him and fall for his traps. Being the one for motivation and optimism, the Coachnik states that they learned a lot from this match up and would be ready next time.
Robotnik, doubting that whole idea, builds the "Long Bomb," a large metal football-shaped bomb that contained all sorts of bombs, missiles, and explosive materials. After a series of mishaps, the Long Bomb gets placed into Grounder's head and falls out after a small skirmish. The Coachnik notices it on the ground and doesn't realize that it's a bomb. He kicks it towards Dr. Robotnik and the bomb blows his fortress to pieces. Robotnik returns furious, but the Coachnik is unaware of what he actually did since he was misinformed. Robotnik then takes a small pellet of the bomb's remains and blows Coachnik to pieces. However, Coachnik is still functioning. He moves his leg and kicks Robotnik. It is unknown what happens to the Coachnik after that.
Personality[]
The Coachnik is an aggressive motivator who always wants the best for his team. He shows clear discipline and strength when solving a problem. He always wants to show the best to Dr. Robotnik even when things haven't always gone their best.
