Argus served as the captain of Queen Aleena's royal guard, but was forced into hiding following Dr. Robotnik's takeover of Mobius.[1]

Season one[]

Robot Argus

Argus roboticized, from "To Catch a Queen".

On his way to a secret rendezvous with Queen Aleena, Argus' vehicle was located by Sleet and Dingo, and shot down, leaving Argus to be captured and interrogated by Dr. Robotnik for the whereabouts of Queen Aleena. When he refused to tell him, Robotnik had him roboticized into "Argusbot", and sent him to Bot Works Hall for initiation. During the initiation, the Sonic Underground, successfully used their Medallions to restore Argus' free will, and escaped with him. However, before he could fully reveal the location of Queen Aleena to them, the effects of the Medallions wore off, forcing the Sonic Underground to flee. Argus later assisted Sleet and Dingo in arresting the Sonic Underground in the Underground Water Works, firing several lasers at them. However, his free will was once again restored by the Medallions' power, and he revealed the rendezvous point to the Sonic Underground, used his laser arm to create a bridge for them, and threw Sleet into the water, shortly before the effects wore off, he became Dr. Robotnik's mindless slave once more.[1]

Personality[]

Originally, Argus was a brave and heroic Freedom Fighter (and loyal to the Hedgehog Dynasty), but following his roboticization and the loss of his free will, Argus became a mindless servant of Dr. Robotnik.[1]

Powers and abilities[]

In his mobian form, Argus possesses piloting skills, while in his roboticized form, he possesses a powerful laser cannon built into his left arm.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Following his roboticization, Sleet stated they could not access Argus' "human" memories, despite him being a mobian dog. This same scripting mistake occurred in the SatAM episode "Sonic and Sally" where Snively said a similar line.
  • While piloting his vehicle, Argus' eye patch is erroneously shown being worn over his right eye socket.
  • Notably, Argus is the only victim of roboticization in Sonic Underground to be fully transformed into a robot, as all the other shown victims still retain some organic parts following the process.
