Monkey Khan and Derobiticization Wave
This requires a little bit of explanation. We know that the Bem Deroboticization Wave reverted all Robians on Mobius (except for Bunnie and Jules) back to flesh and blood, and prevented anyone from being Roboticized again. Jules is forgivable, because he would've died from his pre-Roboticization injuries. Bunnie is said to have been spared, because she upgraded her limbs, meaning they weren't her original limbs, though that doesn't make much sense to me, since the wave was able to revert Eggman and Snivley back to organic form, even though they had gone through at least two surrogate bodies by then. You could argue that Bunnie's upgrades weren't Eggtech, but that poses both a problem and a justification: the problem being that as far as I remember, most if not all of the Freedom Fighters' tech is based on Eggtech and what they've salvaged from Eggman's machines (please correct me if I'm wrong), and the justification being that if the "not Eggtech" explanation for the upgrades is true, that also accounts for why the Dark Legion wasn't affected by the Wave, either (since their tech is wholly their own). So, at the very least, you could reasonably argue that the Deroboticization Wave only affected those living individuals whose bodies contained or were altered by Eggtech.

Here's my question: Why wasn't Monkey Khan affected by the wave? No, he wasn't roboticized, but he was turned into a cyborg through Eggtech, so the wave should've affected him, especially if it was a worldwide phenomenon as it's suggested it was. Yet, he isn't, which lets him in as one of the few Mobians that the Iron Queen can manipulate with her Magitek. Was there any explanation given for why he wasn't affected by the wave, or were we just to assume that, since he wasn't technically a Robian, or had been fighting the Iron Dominion for most of Ian's run, he was out of the Wave's influence? 66.228.109.2 04:44, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
