Isaac

Isaac is an ancient Alpha 100 series mechanoid created over ten thousand years ago when Mobius was still known as Earth. Following the Xorda's destructive attack on the planet, Isaac was ordered by his master Dr. Ivan Kintobor to protect him in stasis as well as monitor the planet. For the next ten millennia, Isaac watched and recorded the history of the planet as life evolved and flourished. He went undetected for thousands of years until 3237 when Shadow the Hedgehog discovered him. Following a battle between Sonic, Shadow, Isaac, Metal Sonic, Isaac remained in the ancient building until Dr. Finitevus located him and attempted to download the last of his data. By that point in time however, most of the information had become corrupt.

Creation and Early Missions
During the 21st century of Earth's time, a group of scientists under Dr. Ivan Kintobor created Isaac, with his hardware created by Professor Clarke while his software was produced by Dr. Niven. Around this time, the Xorda sent an emissary to Earth to forge an alliance. Instead, Ivan Kintobor and his team of scientists captured the emissary and dissected it. Isaac's power matrix was used by adapted Xorda technology, which had been appropriated from the emissary. In retalliation, the Xorda bombarded the planet with Gene Bombs, though Kintobor programmed Isaac to ensure his survival in the "post apocalyptic environment". For several decades after the attack, Isaac was programed to monitor and collect information on the effects the bombs had on the planet, as well as monitoring Dr. Kintobor's life cell chamber. Isaac continued to do this for the next ten thousand years. (StH: #148)

Interactions with Mobius
Rediscovered by Shadow and Metal Sonic in 3237, Isaac recounted his experiences of observing history from afar, including the first Day of Fury, the origin of the Chaos Emeralds, the first conquest of Mammoth Mogul, and the coronation of the first king of the House of Acorn. He joined Shadow in battling Metal Sonic and Sonic, but was left to his task. When the battle ended, Isaac remained in the abandoned building, believing the deceased Dr. Ivan Kintobor to be still alive, and waited for his next orders. (StH: #146, #147, #148, #149)

Some time later the Dark Legion rogue Dr. Finitevus had stumbled across the abandoned building and Isaac. Having downloaded what was left of the erroded data, Finitevus found a cache of ancient nuclear missiles. The missiles were sabotaged by Rouge the Bat, however, before she fled. (StH: #165)


 * Isaac looked slightly different in that issue with a whitish blue colour scheme instead of gold. (StH: #165)

Background Information

 * Isaac's design is simply a golden recolor of E-102 Gamma, and could possibly be the inspiration for Eggman's E-100 Series. In a couple of scenes, we even see a number 102 on its side. One major difference between the two is that Issac, as an Alpha 100 mechanoid and possible ancestor of Gamma's, does not possess a grav-linked jet disk on the back of his chassis, suggesting that he probably cannot fly.


 * Due to StH #165 stating Isaac's data to be corrupt, many fans speculate this was the case during his first appearance in The Good, the Bad, the Unknown story arc, thus making Isaac's account of history and the origin of the Chaos Emeralds false. However, given Isaac properly recounting historical events during that arc, and given that it is entirely possible it was Dr. Finitevus who accidentally corrupted the data, this is not considered canon by this website's policy.
