——————— Lore Overview : There is no S-6 Squad in this, however, Robotnik's political influence manipulates the people into thinking they need "protection" from "that Terrorist Group that call themselves "The Freedom Fighters." As a result, Robotnik founded the A-6 Association. The "Assassinate, Assimilate, Attenuate, Authoritarian Amalgamate Association." As the name suggests, any that oppose Robotnik's rule are quickly labeled as terrorists, and he immediately silences them via the Association.
Scratch Lore : Arrogant and haughty, eager to chop both Mobian and Badnik alike into tiny pieces at the drop of a hat. All who know of Scratch understandably have a healthy fear of him, and any not educated on his prowess will quickly be corrected. While calm and collected at first, minor annoyances can end in tantrums that cost Robotnik plenty of Badniks, along with many a Mobian their lives.
Despite being combat-ready at a moment's notice, it's his little outbursts that have warranted the Doctor to keep Scratch back in a position of authority. He commands from afar, while the lesser Badniks do the scout work. When the Rings hit the fan, he's on the job in the blink of an eye to deal with any major thorns in the Doctor's side.
Grounder Lore : Not your usual dunder-headed Badnik that we're all used to. While he does retain his usual voice, his tone and accent take on that of a cold, calculating Mobster chalked to the brim with intimidating one-liners. Not to mention, he can more than back up his big talk. If his Egg-Thompsons run out of ammo, the front of the drums will extend forth into a pair of sonic-drills. Get rid of his treads? He has spider-legs underneath that allow this mortifying Mobster to clamor almost any terrain.
True to the title of Assassin, there's a reason why other Badniks and Mobians alike refer to him as "The Silent G." He's one of the few members of the A-6 Association that can move in total silence. Don't let his small, rotund appearance fool you. It could be the last mistake you make!
