Tom[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It is a Scrapnik, an amalgamation of Badnik parts and it once served the Eggman Empire. It now resides on Scrapnik Island.[2]
Appearance[]
Tom is a combination between a Newtron, a Ball Hog, and a Grounder. Its Newtron head is green in appearance with a sharp, orange colored parietal crest. It has black eyes with yellow sclera. Tom's Ball Hog body is quite round, and is pink and gray in color, with its belly actually being a small door. There is also a small piece of metal attached onto its belly. Tom's right hand is replaced with a gray Grounder drill. Its body is quite rusted, giving it a more worn-down appearance compared to the standard Badnik.
History[]
Past[]
After being discarded by Dr. Eggman, Tom grouped up with its other fellow discarded Eggman robots and began a new civilization on the doctor's abandoned Death Egg with them. As a group, they collectively called themselves the "Scrapniks" and named their new home "Scrapnik Island".
When one of the Scrapniks, that ressembles a Hey Ho, told that they found a discarded robot at the shore, Tom, along with Emily, E-117 Sigma and the other Scrapniks, followed the robot to the shore.[3]
Scrapnik Island[]
Due to the Death Egg's faulty climate disruptor, it created a large storm and caused Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower to crash down with their Tornado onto Scrapnik Island. By the time the formerly unconscious Sonic had received information about this event from Tails, Tom was one of the several Scrapniks to greet the hedgehog.[2]
Personality[]
Tom is a robot of free will and has quite a friendly personality, even with the fact that it is mute.[2]
