Walt Wallaby

Walt Wallabee is the leader of the Downunda Freedom Fighters. He has engaged in numerous battles with Crocbot and lead the DFF's on numerous successful missions. In battle, he wields explosive weapons called Bomberangs, which are incredibly effective against enemies.

Battles with Crocbot
Walt was the instigator of the formation of the Downunda Freedom Fighters, having set out on a "hopabout" in the latter years of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's reign in order to find his destiny. While traveling, he ran into a meditating Guru Emu, who took Walt to be an answer from the universe regarding his own path in life and thus joined him on his journey. The two quickly became friends, and they soon befriended Duck "Bill" Platypus and Wombat Stu during the latter pair's investigations of illegal activities that they soon traced to Crocbot. Uncovering the location of the robotic despot's main base, they were joined by their final member, Barby Koala, a mercenary who abandoned that career path in order to help her new friends battle against Crocbot. They succeeded in destroying Crocbot's facility, only for him to return some time later and thus spark an antagonism that continued for some time. (StH: #103)

The Downunda Freedom Fighters' conflict with Crocbot soon led to their first encounter with a Freedom Fighter from another area of Mobius: Miles "Tails" Prower, a member of the Knothole branch of the organization. Saving Tails from a pack of Crocbot's Wing Dingoes, Walt took him to the Great Crater to see the Echidna mystic Athair while his teammates went to save Wombat Stu from the villain. Walt rejoined his team just in time to witness the arrival of a massive blimp carrying supplies from Robotnik that would allow Crocbot to establish total control over Downunda and fuel the robot's secret agenda of overthrowing Robotnik and seizing power himself. Walt and his teammates attacked valiantly, and one of Walt's own Bomberangs destroyed Crocbot's CD-ROM Ram. Only the timely arrival of Tails, however, allowed the DFFs to bring down the blimp and save Stu, as well as knocking Crocbot into the Great Crater using another Bomberang. Walt and the others then offered Tails a position with their team, but Tails declined in favor of returning to Knothole with the aid of the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters. (TMS #1, #2, #3)
