Auto Automaton

An Auto Automation was a perfect robotic replica of a Mobian, originally created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Auto Automations were designed to infiltrate various Freedom Fighter groups and gather information.

The first functioning Auto Automation model was based off Sally Acorn and was used to deceive Royal Underground member Geoffrey St. John. The Auto Automation of Sally was discovered to be a robot however and destroyed with help from Sally's Trainees. The factory which was mass producing Auto Automations as also destroyed.

One of the surviving Auto Automations was based off of Fiona Fox and was used to deceive Tails for some time until he discovered it to be a robot and destroyed it. Years later, during the rule of Dr. Eggman, an Auto Automation of Tommy Turtle was created and nearly killed Sonic after badly damaging Sonic's father. After this Auto Automation's destruction, Sonic and the Freedom Fighters went to New Megaopolis where they found thousands of Auto Automations being mass produced. The factory was subsequently destroyed and the real Tommy was rescued. (StH: #28, #29, #136, #136, #137)
