The Swat-a-pult was once used by Sonic the Hedgehog to combat Dr. Eggman's Moth Bot when it attacked the Village Center. Once his team had immobilized the robot, Sonic defeated it with the Swat-a-pult.^[2] Knuckles noticed the Swat-a-pult when he vistited Tails' Workshop and asked Tails if he could claim he invented it, which Tails said no to. The Hypnobot, which Eggman stole from Tails, took over the Swat-a-pult along with an army of Tails' inventions. Eggman used it to fight Team Sonic for a while, but Tails regained control of Hypnobot and made the Swat-a-pult, along with his other inventions and Eggman's robots, dance. The Swat-a-pult was then returned to his workshop.^[1]
