E-108 Iota - This was my first and second attempt at making a character before I found this section. I would like to apologize to psikeout/Admin for my shoddy application. So I'd like to better understand how Eggman's robots do bizarre things.

Some intro questions
- How does Eggman create machines that can levitate? (Wikia says below:)

The Jet Booster is from a series of gravity-linked jet disks


- What is most likely used to power machinery?

- In the wiki, it is stated that Gamma's weapon shoots plasma bolts. Why is it called a Laser Gun in the game then?

- Would a cloaking device or invisibility cloak be allowed? (As in meta material that allows electromagnetic waves to pass through)

- More later.

Sonic wikia is full of fanon. So is our wiki. The difference is that their wiki pretends it's official. Ours doesn't.

Even still, you're misinterpreting. The jet booster is, well, a jet booster. That's just some fan-rubbish speculating that it hovers behind him because of anti-gravity technology. It seems a bit redundant to use antigravity technology to hold a conventional jet engine in place, doesn't it? That's why not too much credence should be given to gameplay power-ups if you're going to try to take anything seriously in RP.

Small animals, rings, chaos drives, batteries. Why Gamma has diesel exhaust pipes the world may never know.

Because they have no damned idea what a laser looks like. Lasers are light. Go do yourself a favor and turn on a laser pointer, or even a flashlight. Be sure to tell me if it shoots something that flies and curves slowly through your room. (protip: light doesn't curve)

For the record, however, we were referring to his "missile launcher" as being a plasma launcher. Again, we were ignoring the gameplay-related upgrades. If you want to get truly pedantic and try to expand upon fanon, though, one could suppose that internal lasers are used to excite the necessary gases to a plasmized state prior to magnetic acceleration. But I don't really care to justify Sega in anything. Chances are they just don't know crap.

Perhaps. It's been in the RP before.
