Template:Infobox 角色 Rotor Walrus（出生于3219年）是《Sonic the Hedgehog》漫画书系列及其由Archie Comics出版的衍生漫画中的主要主角之一。他是一只mobian海象，是Knothole Freedom Fighters的关键成员，利用他对技术和机械的技能和知识，为Mobians对抗前独裁者Dr. Ivo Robotnik以及自他去世以来的Dr. Eggman的势力提供了优势。跟随Sonic the Hedgehog从太空返回后，Rotor减少了他的实地操作参与，并专注于提供数据和技术支持。在3237年，他被选为新Council of Acorn的成员。然而，当Ixis Naugus的操纵导致Nicole被不公正地从New Mobotropolis放逐时，Rotor立即因厌恶而辞去议会职务，并作为新Team Freedom的领导者全面回归实地工作。
外观
Rotor最初的漫画设计主要基于他在《Sonic the Hedgehog》试播集中的对应角色；后来对他在电视节目中的颜色方案和总体外观所做的更改从未被采纳。因此，他通常比大多数角色都要大，并且有紫色的皮毛，前躯干和鼻子是桃色的皮肤，脚趾和手指较深；他戴着一条蓝绿色的类似弹药带的工具带和一顶反戴的黄色帽子。像漫画早期的许多角色一样，Rotor起初有浅蓝色的眼睛；它们后来被确定为绿色。
小时候，他穿着绿色的工装裤。他短暂地戴过羊毛帽、衬衫和大坠饰，但他在设计上最大的变化是加入了眼镜、棕色的飞行员夹克和轻微的头发绺。他短时间内戴过颈托。除了他的日常装扮外，他有时被描绘穿着他的蓝色和红色的橡树议会制服，直到他从议会辞职。作为“Iron Rotor”，Rotor穿着他的纳米战斗服，一套黄色和灰色的服装覆盖了他的大部分身体。头盔与服装其余部分分开，配有透明的面罩。
历史
早年生活和家庭
Rotor来自Frozen North Sea的Walrus Island，他的家族是Walrus Herd的一部分。他的父亲Sherman Walrus是Great War的老兵，作为Royal Army的一员与Jules、Bernadette和Sir Charles Hedgehog一起服役，担任他们部队的司机。[1] 连同Rotor的母亲Georgette Walrus（以及可能是Rotor的神秘哥哥[2]），Sherman从Iceborough迁移，寻求为他的家庭提供更好的生活。[3] Rotor在Dr. Ivo Robotnik发动政变期间因教育目的在Mobotropolis，但随着城市内其他孩子一起被疏散到Knothole Village。他的父亲在抵抗Robotnik的接管中丧生，而他的母亲——那时怀着他的弟弟Skeeter Walrus——返回了Northern Tundra。[3] Rotor的哥哥的命运未知，尽管假定他被机器化。[2] 受Original Freedom Fighters的启发，Rotor与Sonic、Princess Sally、Antoine D'Coolette和年轻的Miles "Tails" Prower一起组成了Knothole Freedom Fighters，在原始小组灭亡后。[4][5][6] 他对强大武器的迷恋——源于听父亲讲述大战的故事——加上他的工程努力有时带来的灾难性结果，为他赢得了“Boomer”这个绰号。[3]
Knothole自由战士
当Sonic得知Robotnik据说开发了一种强大的炸弹（实际上是一个用来处理虫害问题的虫子炸弹）时，Rotor加入了Sonic和Sally，通过一场假抗议来欺骗Robotnik，然后他伪装成Robotnik偷走炸弹（由于他的体型，这是一项轻而易举的任务）。不幸的是，Robotnik想到了伪装成Rotor来欺骗自由战士，但混乱很快就被解决了。后来，他和Sonic旅行到Mobius的南部地区，两人目睹了无助的Bunnie Rabbot被两个SWATbots捕获，准备机器化。尽管Sonic去救她，但由于他被绳索与Rotor连接，暂时被阻止。在救出部分机器化的Bunnie后，两人将她带回Knothole Village，她成为自由战士的一员。[7]
当Sonic失忆并被Dr. Robotnik说服攻击自由战
士时，Rotor的安全系统检测到放在Sonic身上的微型发射器，用以提供Knothole的位置。Rotor试图阻止Sonic进入他们的秘密藏身处，但Sonic相对容易地绕过了他。[8] 最终Sonic的记忆被恢复，并移除了装置。[9]
Rotor后来开发了“Neuro-Overrider”，一种设备，允许被机器化的Mobian保持自由意志。Sally希望使用这个设备让自己被机器化，以便她能够潜入Robotropolis并偷走一个机器化装置，学习如何逆转其效果。然而，Neuro-Overrider在Sally被机器化时脱落，她被剥夺了自由意志。她最终被Dulcy the Dragon安全恢复到正常状态。[10]
寻找族群
在收到来自北海的母亲的求救信号后，Rotor驾驶他的Bathysphere前往那里查看情况。到达后，Rotor发现他的家人和整个Walrus Herd都被Dr. Robotnik的Neuron Bomb控制了思想。当他发现Robotnik希望冻结整个星球时，Rotor试图逃跑并警告他的朋友们，但被一个Icebot打入海中。[11] 他很快被两名Arctic Freedom Fighters，Sealia Seal和Augustus the Polar Bear救起。然后三人设法渗透进Walrus Herd，Rotor试图解放他们的思想控制。然而，整个Herd攻击了Rotor，尽管Sealia和Augustus设法将他救出并带到安全地带。Rotor发誓要返回并将他的家族从Robotnik的思想控制中解放出来。[12]
继续对抗Robotnik
在Knothole自由战士（除Sonic外）被Robotnik的生化武器感染后，Rotor设法通知Sonic所发生的事情，然后失去了意识。Sonic使用缩小射线变得微小，进入Rotor体内，协助他的Aunti Body对抗French Frirus和Paris-Site。Sonic成功了，Rotor和其他人恢复了健康。[13]
此后，Rotor试图对Sonic的叔叔Chuck进行去机器化处理。尽管他努力尝试，Chuck仍然是一个Robian。[14]
不久后，Rotor创建了一个遥控器
，使自由战士能够前往Zone of Silence并寻找Sally的父亲King Max。然而，由于King Max处于某种咒语之下，自由战士无法将他带回Mobius Prime，被迫返回。[15]
后来，Rotor在议会上审查了Sonic使用Neuro-Overrider并允许自己被机器化的想法。Rotor和其他议会成员一样反对，称这个想法风险太大。在Sonic被Nack the Weasel捕获并机器化后，Rotor帮助准备Bunnie以防御Mecha Sonic。在Bunnie被击败和Knuckles the Echidna被击晕后，Rotor设法在他坠落时用网捕捉到了Echidna。[16] 当Knuckles恢复意识时，他遭受了错觉，并因为（由于他的体重）他认为Rotor是Robotnik而攻击了Rotor。然而Sally设法使Knuckles恢复了理智，战斗继续。Rotor监督使用Neuro-Overrider在Knuckles身上，允许他在成为Mecha Knuckles与Mecha Sonic战斗时保持自由意志。战斗结束后，Rotor与Nicole合作将受损的Mecha Sonic转换回Mobian。[17]
几周后，Rotor用他的Neutralizer帮助Sonic前往Zone of Silence，并最终成功从Zone of Silence中救出King Max。[18][19] 在此之后，Rotor与Dr. Quack合作创建了Dream Watcher，以便他们能够查看King Max的心灵并将他从昏迷状态中唤醒。Sonic设法做到了这一点，尽管King Max仍然处于结晶状态。[19]
几天后，Rotor向Sonic展示了他的新武器，“Party-Hearty Quadra Sonic Rock 'N' Roller”，以及他的Remote Scanner。同一天，自由战士发现自己与Knuckles the Echidna一起与Anti-Knuckles和Anti-Sonic作战。然后他们前往Anti Mobius，在那里他们发现Dr. Ivo Robotnik正在从Sunken Island的Chaos Emeralds窃取能量。在Robotnik被传送回Mobius Prime后，Rotor对于他在这场风波中从未得到使用他的Remote Scanner感到失望。[20]
! 在Operation: EndGame期间，Rotor在Knothole时，Dr. Robotnik到达现场。Rotor说：“Robotnik在Knothole？这辈子不可能！”他试图用Party-Hearty Quadra Sonic Rock 'N' Roller向Robotnik开火。Robotnik设法使枪的爆炸相位消失并将其摧毁，同时劫持了整个村庄。[21][22] Rotor和Tails后来设法潜入下水道系统，但在试图逃跑时被Combot捕获。[23]
返回族群
由于Ultimate Annihilator导致Dr. Robotnik的死亡，Rotor决定返回族群。[24] 当他回到族群时，他感到欣慰和惊讶地发现，由于Ultimate Annihilator的发射，族群已经恢复了自由意志。他在Walrus族群中度过了几周，与他的母亲和弟弟Skeeter享受时光。然而，当Robo-Robotnik前往Mobius Prime并取代已故的Dr. Robotnik时，Rotor并不知情。因此，当族群突然再次受到精神控制时，Rotor不知道发生了什么。Rotor藏在他的Bathysphere中，族群设法损坏了它并导致它下沉。Rotor被Arctic Freedom Fighters救出，他们告诉他Robotnik已经回来了。[25]
对抗Eggman的行动
返回Mobotropolis（他不知道它被Robo-Robotnik重新征服），Rotor发现自己与Mina Mongoose相遇，不久之后与Sonic相遇。这群人返回到Knothole，Rotor开始与其他自由战士一起在Knothole高中就读。[26][27][28]
在自由战士得知Sword of Acorns可以恢复Robians的自由意志后，Rotor请求他们也使用它来恢复被控制的族群的自由意志。返回Walrus Island，Rotor在Walrus建造的石油钻塔上放置了炸弹，而Sally使用Sword of Acorns恢复了族群的自由意志。[29]
在Sonic在太空中的一年里，Rotor通过构建更强大的武器，在对Robotnik的战争中提升了自己的地位。不幸的是，他的努力不仅导致了机器人的毁灭，还导致了包括Larry Lynx在内的其他自由战士受伤。对自己的所作所为感到震惊的Rotor决定永远不再制造武器，尽管他后来协助构建了Metal Sonic Troopers来保卫Knothole。他后来感到这个决定是对他誓言的背叛，尽管他也意识到他的努力可能做得过头了。[30][31]
Rotor继续以任何可能的方式帮助他的朋友，甚至充当Tommy Turtle的准导师，帮助他适应新生活。不幸的是，这段关系在Tommy被A.D.A.M.奴役后结束，导致他在Egg Fleet的枪下死亡。[32][33]
Rotor也是在Knothole的毁灭中被Eggman捕获的许多居民之一，尽管幸存者的快速行动导致了一次成功的救援任务。然而，他在Knothole毁灭期间推开Tails以使其免于倒塌的屋顶下的背部受伤，使他一段时间无法参与自由战士的活动。[34][35]
议会成员
Rotor被选为新Council of Acorn的成员，这是一个由六名选举成员和King Elias组成的团体，旨在为王国带来急需的政治变革。[36][37] 然而，Rotor发现自己处于更危险的情况中，而不是从战斗的压力中获得休息：Knuckles的宿敌，由Chaos Emerald驱动的实体Enerjak，由于Dark Legion科学家Dr. Finitevus的策划而重生，意图征服Mobius。他和其他议会成员被Dimitri告知了这个问题，但投票决定在收集更多信息之前不采取行动。[37] 幸运的是，这个问题很快被Sonic和守护者Locke的努力解决了。[38]
后来，当Rotor在Freedom HQ时，他被他的反Mobius对应者，Boomer，攻击，Boomer嘲笑他无法自卫。Rotor因为无法帮助保卫Freedom HQ而被反抗队伍攻击，由于他的颈部受伤而哭泣。相反，他逃离现场联系Chaotix报告情况，后来投票支持重新夺回Freedom HQ的任务，但被议会其他成员否决。[39][40][41] 他后来协助Sonic前往Moebius，这是Sally下达的命令，后来当她因违反议会关于Sonic的命令而受审时，Rotor站出来为她辩护。[42] 在对Eggdome的最后推进中，他为自由战士和Chaotix提供了后援；在Egg Phoenix被摧毁后，Rotor架设了一个力场发生器，让自由战士可以结束这一天，但他自己没有得到任何睡眠，而是准备了与新Mobotropolis的视觉链接。他后来留下来，而其他人进行了最后的攻击。[43][44] 在Sonic成功击败Eggman后，Rotor帮助他们乘坐吉普车回家庆祝胜利。[45]
Their victory was cut short as the Iron Dominion took over the empire, which the Freedom Fighters would learn from Monkey Khan.[46] When the Iron Queen took control of Nicole and thus all of New Mobotropolis, Castle Acorn was sealed shut, trapping the royal family and Council of Acorn within.[47] Rotor was later revealed to have been taken prisoner and was among those brought to the Coliseum for public "legionization"—a process that forcefully converts a Mobian into a brainwashed Dark Legion cyborg. When Rotor was brought out before Snively, who was in charge of the operation, he angrily reminded the Overlander that they had worked together in the past; smugly dismissing this, Snively was caught by surprise when Rotor suddenly attacked the Legionnaires holding him, subduing them simultaneously before lunging at a terrified Snively. Unfortunately, Rotor's heroic efforts were quickly halted by his injured back flaring up. Fortunately, Amy Rose, Antoine and Geoffrey St. John soon appeared, and Amy destroyed the operating table to which Rotor was being dragged, scattering the villains and saving the walrus.[48]
Final Time Saving The Herd
With the threat of the Iron Dominion ended, Rotor and his fellow council members set about revising the new constitution of the Republic of Acorn. As such, Rotor did not accompany Sonic and Sally to become a member of the Wolf Pack Nation despite having been invited.[49] Just as Sonic and Sally helped resolve a crisis there, however, Rotor was informed by Hamlin that the Arctic Freedom Fighters had called in with news that a Dark Egg Legion chapter had captured the Walrus Herd.[50]
After learning of the situation, Sonic invited Rotor to go along with him, though Hamlin was quick to deny the Hedgehog's request, and Rotor agreed that he planned to stay in the city. However, after having Nicole meet him at his house, he informed her that he had every intention of going to aid the Herd, requesting that she construct a suit of armor from the nanites for him. Departing, he flew to the Northern Tundra, contemplating his previous actions as a Freedom Fighter and determining that he would retire permanently once this mission was completed. Before he got to the battlefield, however, he was dragged out of the air by Silver the Hedgehog.[31] Engaging Silver briefly in battle, Rotor found himself helpless. Silver then accused him of not being "Boomer" Walrus, and then of being a traitor to the Freedom Fighters. Silver attempted to short Rotor's battle armor and use his telekinesis to halt him, but when Rotor explained what was at stake with the safety of his Herd and the Tundra area as a whole, Silver agreed to help him. When they arrived, they quickly found Dr. Eggman's nearby base, and found a neural interface Eggman could use to control the herd personally. Silver used it to send a psychic pulse, breaking the Herd's mind control and also scrambling the Orca members of the Dark Egg Legion in the area. Silver later said he also sent a signal that would forever block the Walrus Herd from future mind control attempts. He also figured out for himself that Rotor was indeed "Boomer", but the information he had about him was out-of-date.[51]
Naugus and Nicole
When Geoffrey St. John seemingly betrayed Sonic during a mission and went MIA, the Council of Acorn was unsure of how to respond, as they had no way of knowing if Geoffrey, leader of the Secret Service, was working on secret orders.[52][53] Additionally, they were left to deal with ever-increasing public concern over Nicole's control of the city.[54] Unknown to everyone, these issues became tied as Geoffrey, working with Ixis Naugus, manipulated the public's fears of Nicole in order to set Naugus up as a potential savior of the people and giving his bid to take control of the Republic of Acorn more sway. Rotor pushed his fellow councilors to discuss the issue with Nicole, as the AI had been emotionally hurt by the public's increased fear and hatred of her, but when they were about to do so, Naugus himself arrived before the council, claiming the crown as rightfully his. Rotor was vehemently opposed to this, even going so far as to attempt to rally the other former Freedom Fighters among the council, but thanks to the wizard's ability to twist and amplify negative emotions, everyone soon began bickering with each other. Eventually, to Sonic and Rotor's displeasure, it was decided that the matter be dealt with formally and that Naugus be given a chance to argue his claim. However, all were taken by surprise by the unexpected launch of the new Death Egg Mark 2.[55][56]
As the Freedom Fighters united to head into battle, the Royal Guard began ushering the council to the safety of the Royal Military Headquarters. However, Rotor ducked out with the intention of returning home to change into his nanite suit and join his friends in battle. He began changing when suddenly, the Genesis Wave enveloped Mobius.[57]
Genesis
After the Genesis Wave had rewritten the Prime Zone, Rotor's reality underwent a significant change.[58] Soon after, Sonic found himself in a strange but oddly familiar setting; he eventually came across a prison pod and released those inside it, who introduced themselves as Sally Acorn, Antoine Depardieu and Boomer Walrus, having seemingly never met before. The group explained that they believed one Dr. Eggman to be responsible for several recent kidnappings, and Boomer added that he might be behind the increased number of earthquakes lately. Sonic agreed to help them hunt down the doctor. In the Marble Zone, they were attacked by Eggman's robots; Boomer captured and disabled a Caterkiller with his bare hands, impressing Sonic, and then set to reprogramming a damaged Buzzbomber, thinking it would be good to have the extra help. He did not want to stoop to Eggman's level and force a small animal to act as the robot's power supply, however, but Sally was able to get a Flicky bird to volunteer. This proved useful, as Boomer later used the Buzzbomber to airlift himself and Antoine to safety. Eventually, Sonic caught up to Dr. Eggman and fought him, forcing the doctor to retreat; Boomer was thoroughly impressed, and the group continued on to an underground tunnel they believed would lead them to the doctor's lair.[59] After becoming separated from Antoine in the Labyrinth Zone, Boomer and his comrades pressed on through the Star Light Zone and finally into the Scrap Brain Zone, where Boomer almost fell down a pit. Soon, the group found Eggman deep with his Scrap Brain Zone base, as well as a waterlogged Antoine. After dealing with Eggman's final machine of death, Sonic sent the doctor hurtling out of his base in his destroyed Egg Mobile. As Boomer and the heroes watched as the Doctor descended, Sonic voiced his inkling that they hadn't seen the last of the dictator.[60]
With the matter of the mysterious earthquakes still shaking things up, the heroes set out to find the cause, now accompanied by Sonic's buddy Tails. After making it out of the Chemical Plant Zone in one piece, Sonic decided that he wants to head directly to Eggman's new base. Taking Tails, Boomer and the others were left to make their way through the Oil Ocean Zone.[61] There, they were nearly wiped out by aerial badniks. Nonetheless, they soon made it to the center of the refinery and shut off the oil pipelines, leaving Eggman's bases without power. When Sonic set off another Genesis Wave aboard the Death Egg, now high up in space, Boomer began to panic as everything around him started whiting out, but a smiling Sally assured the walrus that everything would be fine; while baffled by the fact that she referred to him as "Rotor" during this exchange, he nonetheless trusted his friend in her certainty, as the planet completely faded to white.[62]
Return to Duty
When the Prime Zone returned to its original state, Rotor found himself in his home, midway into changing out of his councilors uniform. Rotor struggled to recall why he was doing this, before glancing out of the window and noticing the new Death Egg glaring down over the city; it all came back to him. He was in the process of donning his nanite suit in order to join the Freedom Fighters in combating the flying fortress, but as he caught sight of the Tornado and Freedom Fighter Special zipping around in the sky, he realized the city needed him to do his duty as a part of the council.[57]
In the aftermath of Eggman's Operation: Clean Sweep, Sally was roboticized, while Naugus took advantage of New Mobotropolis' fear of Nicole, unwittingly caused by Mina, to save the city from a Titan Metal Sonic and usurp Elias as king. When the Council took a vote to exile Nicole to Freedom HQ, everyone but Rotor voted to do so because it was what the people wanted. Rotor was so disgusted and upset by the turnout that he resigned from the council right then and there.[63]
With Sally's roboticization, Antoine's severe injuries, and Bunnie's departure, the Knothole Freedom Fighters were forced to disband. However, Rotor, along with Sonic, Tails, and Amy, successfully convinced the Council (sans Naugus) to approve two new Freedom Fighter teams: Team Freedom, who would protect the city itself, and Team Fighters, who would pursue Eggman's forces. Rotor himself used a special power suit that circumvented his back injury and let him return to active duty.[64]
As the leader, Rotor accepted Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit, and Cheese, and also rebuilt Heavy and Bomb, bringing the roster to six members. Though Naugus continued to dismiss the group's reliability, Team Freedom proved their worth when the community center collapsed due to an unseen attack by Tails Doll; with Naugus incapacitated due to inner personal matters, Rotor and his team sprang into action and successfully stopped the collapse, simultaneously gaining public support and discrediting Naugus.[65] The team further distinguished themselves when the Death Egg returned to the city, launching Egg SWATs and Team Metal. Bravely leading his new team, Rotor activated the shield generator only for it to be destroyed, and then assigned Cream to lead civilians to safety while the more seasoned members of the group continued fighting. Naugus arrived on the scene and attempted to prove Team Freedom's superfluousness with a blast of crystalline magic on some Egg Swats, only for his body to undergo a hideous and painful mutation. Grudgingly complimenting the wizard's skill in the hopes of getting him back into the fight, Rotor defended his unwanted king and called on Big to carry him to safety. He then went up against Metal Tails, and was able to destroy the robot after Elias-working with his new Secret Freedom Fighters-damaged the robot with a crossbow bolt. The team celebrated their victory, though Rotor came to suspect that they had been aided from the shadows.[66]
Rotor's next task was nothing as dangerous-using his suit's ability to interact with the nanites, he opened a door with a broken lock affected by Larry Lynx's jinx. Penelope thanked him for his assistance, joking that he couldn't seem to stop working for the council between leading Team Freedom and working with the nanites. She asked him if he "unclog[ged] drains too" to which Rotor replied that he could and that he would just need to get Big so that he could use his fishing rod.[67] Shortly afterwards, Rotor and the rest of Team Freedom attended a concert held by Mina Mongoose that was aimed at raising support for bringing Nicole back to the city. When the stage unexpectedly collapsed-again courtesy of Tails Doll-Rotor and his team leaped into action to save Mina and her band, the Forget Me Knots.[68] Rotor also rushed to Antoine's room at the hospital when Metal Sonic v3.7 took him hostage, but arrived to find the robot gone.[69]
Rotor later joined Nicole at the ribbon cutting for the restored Castle Acorn, where he assured the AI that the people had no reason to distrust her. He also expressed gratitude at the absence of both Naugus and Geoffrey, though Nicole chastised him for being so unkind given Naugus' condition. After learning of her efforts to complete a device created for the wizard's benefit, he remarked that she was too kind, but was then shocked as the castle began to crumble. He then asked whether the foundation was failing, but was informed that something was affecting the nanites. Cream then approached him with the theory that Tails Doll was behind it, though she was initially embarrassed by her convoluted explanation. Rotor was quick to praise her reasoning, and decided to put the theory to the test. Their suspicions were proved correct as Tails Doll, believing Team Freedom to be occupied, entered the city power station only to find the heroes lying in wait. Unfortunately, they were then forced to face the robot's true power as it used a number of reprogrammed nanites to create a demonic new form for itself. The monster's objectives were simple: destroy the power generator, allow Robotropolis' radioactivity to enter the city, and eliminate Team Freedom. However, the battle was cut short when he along with Team Freedom were caught up in a second Genesis Wave.[70]
- Note: From this point, Rotor's history continues from his new life in the altered timeline.
Personality
Rotor is usually a very calm, easygoing and a bit clumsy individual, rarely showing aggression. However, he despises Dr. Robotnik and anyone who follows the latter's beliefs, and do whatever he can to oppose it, time and time again proving himself valiant and courageous throughout the war for his planet. He is very defensive of his family and friends, and stands as a trusted friend to everyone who knows him, willing to help them in any way possible. During Sonic's time in space, Rotor became vehemently opposed to the use of firearms due to accidents caused by weapons he had designed to help fight Dr. Robotnik in Sonic's absence.
His talent for designing weapons is something he became reluctant to make use of, having constructed weapons during Sonic's absence that inflicted friendly fire-fortunately nonlethal-upon other Freedom Fighters. However, he remains a determined aid to the Freedom Fighters in creating other useful gadgetry. Despite his preferences, he did assist Sir Charles in creating the Metal Sonic Troopers.[10][11][19][20][31][71]
Powers and abilities
As a Walrus, Rotor is a bulky fighter with high physical strength, enhanced durability and an adept swimmer, and his endurance is top-notch as well. However, his greatest talent lies in his mechanical abilities. Rotor is a mechanical super genius, a quick thinker and very insightful, adept at creating tools and machines for use in the war against Dr. Robotnik and beyond, as well as deciphering new technology. He is known for his numerous creations that aided the Freedom Fighters early on. Some of these include the Bathysphere and the infamous Neuro-Overrider, which would theoretically retain one's free will even if they were roboticized. Rotor also assisted Dr. Quack in keeping the crystallized King Max alive by providing him with medical technology and later helped his patients Geoffrey St. John and Hershey Cat by creating nanites to destroy the nanoprobes Eggman had infected them with. Other inventions include the Party-Hearty Quadra Sonic Rock 'N' Roller and the Remote Scanner, as well as designing his own suit of nanite battle armor.
On a few occasions he has proved to be quite a marksman with firearm-like weapons as well, both with sniping and general marksmanship.
Equipment
Iron Rotor
The Iron Rotor battle suit is probably Rotor's most dynamic invention. In addition to giving him the support to overcome back injury, it enables him to take flight and employ projectile weaponry against opponents.
Trivia
- By mistake, Rotor was named Boomer in the earliest issues of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. It was corrected in issue #6, as well as reprints for these early stories. However, in the letters page, when a fan asked the deal with Rotor's old name, it was explained that "Boomer" was actually a nickname the character had in his childhood; some stories depicting the Freedom Fighters in their childhood even have him addressed as Boomer. Ironically, this error later provided the basis for a Silver plotline, in which he found Rotor listed as Boomer in a record of the early Freedom Fighters and came to the conclusion that they were separate entities entirely. A further nod to this is that Anti-Rotor's true name is Boomer to distinguish himself from regular Rotor.
- In the period where the timeline was reset due to Dr. Eggman's "Operation: Clean Sweep", he is again referred to as "Boomer Walrus".
- In Sonic the Hedgehog #148, Rotor reacts to Fiona Fox discovering a gun stating "The Freedom Fighters never use guns. Never have, never will.". However, this is a contradiction of his use of the "Party-Hearty Quadra Sonic Rock 'N' Roller" gun which he created. Sonic the Hedgehog #215 fixed this plothole by saying back in the olden days he used home-made guns, and it wasn't until he'd accidentally injured fellow Mobians, such as Larry Lynx, that he vowed never to use guns again. This was further elaborated In the Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia by stating he would contradict himself as a result.
- In Sonic: Evolution of a Hero, it is stated that Rotor helped in educating Tails to genius level intellect.
- When wearing his battle suit during combat, he has a striking resemblance to the Bad-Box-Art Mega Man from Street Fighter X Tekken.
- Rotor's yellow cap was a gift from his mother.[12]
