The Icebot is a humanoid robot that appears in Archie Comic's Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a variant of SWATbot that has been designed to operate in sub-zero environments.
Description[]
The Icebot is physically similar to the standard SWATbot, with one notable difference: its cube-shaped head. It has a grey-and-white colour scheme, sports a horizontal red visor, a red bulb on top of its head and small antennae in place of ears. Its only armament is a club which it uses in herding hypnotized walrus slaves.
History[]
Tundra Road[]
When Rotor the Walrus traveled to Mobius' Frozen North Sea to find his missing herd, he discovered the herd had been hypnotized by Dr. Robotnik and were being led into a cave by Icebots. Rotor overheard Robotnik announce his plan to have the Walrus Herd carry out a plot to freeze all of Mobius, but was discovered by the Icebots and knocked out before being dumped into the ocean to drown.
Rotor was rescued by the Arctic Freedom Fighters, joining forces with them to stop Robotnik's plan. The group snuck into Robotnik's cavern using a Trojan Horse, and made quick work of the Icebots. However, Robotnik then set the brainwashed Walrus Herd on them, forcing them to retreat. With some quick thinking on Augustus' part, the team trapped the herd on an ice floe, which Rotor tossed a tracker on to as a precaution against losing them.
I Herd It Through The Pipeline[]
Following Robotnik Prime's demise, his extra-dimensional counterpart Dr. Eggman assumed control of the late doctor's empire. This included reclaiming the brainwashed Walrus Herd and using them to set up an oil pipeline that ran beneath the North Sea. Eggman once again used Icebots to keep the herd in line, though they would all be destroyed after Sonic and the Freedom Fighters arrived to liberate the walruses from Eggman's control using the Sword of Acorns.
