The Badnik Horde was the robot army that served as the military backbone of Dr. Robotnik's Empire and later the Eggman Empire for over a decade. The units used have changed over time, but their purpose remains the same: overwhelm the enemy with numbers with an easily replenished stock of soldiers. They are led by a Badnik commander in the post-Super Genesis Wave.
Badniks more powerful than normal badniks (i.e. Silver Sonic and Metal Sonic) are called "Super Badniks" (SSD: #6)
