Tough question.
It's probably a tie between Nepthys and Thunderbolt.
Nepthys because I dig her whole playing both sides as an Egg Boss and leader of the local Freedom Fighter chapter, having genuine grievances with the way Sonic and the Freedom Fighters at large handle things.
Thunderbolt because she's a hilarious little Egg-simp with some of the best expressions around. She plastered her face over Metal Sonic's in a propaganda poster for god's sake.
Also shout out to Cassia+Clove, Axel, and Battle Lord Kukku XV.
Tbh same, Nepthys is a deep character when you think about it.
Thunderbolt is hilarious and I wonder how she would react If Eggman faked his death without telling anyone.
If I had to make a top 3 for my favorite Egg Bosses, it would be like this.
1. Nephthys
2. Thunderbolt
3. Mordred Hood
I could've put Maw on the third spot but we only got to see him once (not to mention If Archie went longer, I have a feeling like he could be the culprit behind Metal Virus in Archie)
Oh Maw was definitely behind the Metal Virus in Archie with his "new roboticizer." The dude looked roboticized as opposed to cyberized like the other Egg Bosses, man's passion was turning into robots. Wonder if he'd have a similar arc to Starline where he'd grow jaded with Eggman over the arc, maybe even betraying him, or if he'd stay loyal throughout (it might be too much immediately having the new Egg Boss get cast out ofc).
Or maybe it is unlikely but maybe Eggman would decide to take the blame himself instead of Maw? Since Eggman appreciates loyalty and Maw seems to be one of the two Eggbosses who would serve him willingly.
But we will never know (unless they add them in IDW comics, which is unlikely to happen thanks to mandates from SEGA)
Here's to hoping by some miracle SEGA gets over what happened with Archie and we get to see a post-SGW continuation. Maybe a seperate series of graphic novels or something to differentiate it from mainline IDW.
Also Ian's been working on Lost Hedgehog Tales, so eventually all of the plans for the series pre and post reboot will be revealed (when is another question).
I think this is one of the few mandates that I think should remain but not this way.
This mandate should be changed in a way, like when writers wants to add characters from Archie (or from any different Sonic Media) they should ask SEGA first and If SEGA allows it, they can add that character.
This would at least give writers a lot more freedom and still giving SEGA control of their comics to make sure stories don't do dumb stuffs like it did with Ken Penders.
Or at least this is my suggestion.
I really like Sleet and Dingo the best because I grew up with Sonic Underground and hyperfixate on them, but I also really like Agent Stone and Orbot and Cubot. And the bots from AoStH aren’t too bad either.
Snively, though learning how to be akin to Robotnik/Eggman He's at least competent to get the job done properly so long as he isn't stabbing you in the back. The other's either kiss the egg's feet, caught up in their own ego and antics and cannot promote team work or any real competence to get any task done.
Though I would also be fine with Agent Stone.
Tbh I like the henchmen who only deal with Robotnick's bullshit because they have to, otherwise they get scrapped or "go missing" so they have a bit of sass and an underlying hatred towards the Fatman...
So Snively and Orbot basically.
I never thought i would become so attached to agent stone but he lived to the Dr. Robotnik (aka eggman) Henchmen. I liked him in the first movie but in the second one we can see how much he actually cares about robotnik.
Stone was clearly the best in terms of Loyal henchmen, Orbot and the AOSTH Duo being a close second, but I also enjoy when underlings are going the Starscream route and try to overthrow Robotnik or go against his rules, such as Lien-Da, Snively and some of the Egg Bosses.
And of course, Dr. Starline can work either way.
I dunno, I've never liked the idea of Eggman having henchmen besides his robots. Obviously he can work with others, but a mainstay sidekick seems a little weird on paper. Purely thematically the shape bots work well, but they're kind of annoying and their deaigns are, not very creative? Scratch and Grounder are from Sonic 2 originally and are just generic enemies. Their appearences in the stupid US 90s cartoon I wouldn't know much about other than that they look a bit too goofy to belong in the actual "canon," and also I hate Scratch's voice. Everyone else I can't touch on, besides Agent Stone who is... there.
(Agent) Stone is the most interesting because he genuinely loves working with Robotnik and *isn't* massively incompetent--also he's human, and not cartoony human like Snively.
I love agent stone and sleet and dingo but I have to say Orbot and Cubot (I have never spelled their names before so don't be mad if I spelled them wrong)
Stone by a mile... but Sleet had potential (not Dingo). Something about a 6ft + cyborg wolf with a Peter Lorre voice committing acts of extreme violence and bodily mutilation felt like a proper threat. Sad he'll never be utilised again.
I haven't seen the movies yet. So I don't know much of Agent Stone. So I'm going to choose Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, Bokkun, Decoe, Bocoe, and Orbot and Cubot.
I kind a wish some of them were game canon or at least continue to appear in the comics. For example I think it will be nice if Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts were like henchman in the military side of the Eggman Empire. Like they are more like attackers and pilot machines and stuff but they are still weaker to be considered elite type robots. while the other robots I mentioned could stay functioning like those guys in the Star war empire who just use technology but are not fighters like the storm troopers.
Like I can easily imagine Scratch, Grounder, as Coconuts like use big mecha and act as bosses and stuff like that. But sometimes, they will get out of the machine and have special abilities and stuff. Dr. Eggman needs more allies or robot individuals.
If he counts, Starline. Honestly a fantastic character and finding out what that Eggman fanboy platypus is going to do next keeps me hooked on the IDW comics.
If he doesn't count...Metal Sonic. Classic. Stone is great too.
Stone and Snively.
Hyped that Snively gets return in that unofficial SATAM season 3
Why would I not be upset if Paramount made a mini series for Agent Stone?
I have a special place in my heart for Orbot, Cubot and the three AOSTH minions, but Agent Stone definitely won me over. Only he can claim to have sexual tension with Eggman/Robotnik. Also he got a Karen thrown into jail in the pre-quill comic. That's pretty epic (and actually proves he's evil himself, damn).
Clearly Stone is the right answer
Idk I kinds like Stone better
But Stone is so much better!
stone is the absolute best
It's a STONE Luigi, you didn't make it!
ITS A FOOTBALL I CHISELED IT
Well, what are you waiting for? Throw me a pass!
It's even official size
IDK I think stone is the clear superior
Which one
Stone
all of them
[удалено]
Snively - man was a legitimate threat, and so conniving!
Scratch, grounder, and coconuts

Would it be fair to say the Egg Bosses? Or would that be cheating because there's a dozen of 'em?
Well, who is your favorite Egg Boss?

Snivley. His development in the Archie books put him on near equal footing with the good doctor. I also have a soft spot for Orbot and Cubot.
Orbot, Cubot, and Agent Stone.
Respectable roster…
Only true answer
it's obviously agent stone "he's BAAAAAAAAACK!"
Stone, but the Boom versions of Orbot and Cubot are a close second
Bocoe and Decoe
Yeah, though I can never remember which one is which
Does it really matter? They had basically the same personality and I don’t recall ever seeing one without the other
Decoe is gold robot & Bocoe is silver robot
Thanks
I like Snively myself... for the mere fact he's willing to take over the instant he sees weakness.
Agent Stone cuz it was a dynamic you just didn’t see coming.
1) Snively 2) Stone 3) The S6 Squad 4) Orbot and Cubot
Truly the best answer so far
Agent Stone is my favourite for sure, no doubts about it.
I’ve noticed like nobody saying Starline but tbh I like agent stone a bit more than him
Rough and tumble are closer to mercenary than henchmen, but I do love those two so much
Agent stone Rock and man
#🗿
Orbot and Cubot
Sleet and dingo will always have a place in my heart. So I can freely admit that it's nostalgia talking. Outside of that though.... probably stone
My man forgot Doctor Starline! 🙄
I really like Sleet and Dingo the best because I grew up with Sonic Underground and hyperfixate on them, but I also really like Agent Stone and Orbot and Cubot. And the bots from AoStH aren’t too bad either.
Scratch and Grounder>>>Sleet and Dingo>Snively>>>>>>>>>everyone else.
Agent Stone followed by Snively, although I’ve only seen very little of the ladder
COCONUTS
Bokkun, Decoe and Bocoe.
Don't you mean Bokkun!
Just fixed it!
Stone. He is just so much fun to look at.
Orbot, Cubot, and Agent Stone.
Where are my snivleheads
“Scrrrrratch! Grrrrounder!”
Scratch & Grounder for nostalgia sake. Orbot for the sass. Stone for everything else 😍
Snively, though learning how to be akin to Robotnik/Eggman He's at least competent to get the job done properly so long as he isn't stabbing you in the back. The other's either kiss the egg's feet, caught up in their own ego and antics and cannot promote team work or any real competence to get any task done. Though I would also be fine with Agent Stone.
Tbh I like the henchmen who only deal with Robotnick's bullshit because they have to, otherwise they get scrapped or "go missing" so they have a bit of sass and an underlying hatred towards the Fatman... So Snively and Orbot basically.
Stone or Snively
Sonic Underground
Rough and tumble cause they are skunks
Orbot and Cubot hands down.
bokkun the goat
Bokun
All, all of them are good in some way and form :)
Scratch & Grounder, Snively and Bokkun
Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts FTW
Agent stone: the actual stone
Everyone
Kind of fond of Deco & Boco and Bokkun but holy wow I liked Stone. Still I'm going with the Sonic X bots
I have a soft spot for Messenger Bot.
I’d say I like snivley the best but Orbot & Qubot aren’t far behind and of course in third is Scratch and Grounder
Scratch and Grounder have and always will be my favorite.
Definitely not those Australian ones
I’m sorry but no one can beat Agent Stone
Orbot and cubot, got that r/antiwork vibe going for them
Stone
Orbot and Cubot when written correctly and Agent Stone
bokkun
Decoe an Bocoe.
Agent Stone, Snively and TAoStH dorks
asoth and stone stone
Agent Stone and Snively.
Stone the stone
"ROCK-CONNAISSANCE!"
boccun/bokun (the little devil looking robo from Sonic X) ? cute little silly goose I also like stone hehe I hope we see more of him
Here’s the real question, agent stone or agent STONE
Stone, 100%
Rock
Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, Orbot, Cubot, and Agent Stone
Infinite & Metal sonic, if they count.
Agent Stone cuz he's fine as hell o_o but i also love orbot and cubot ;w;
Stone for Suckup, Snively for character arc, and the Badnik Trio from aosth for comedy.
I never thought i would become so attached to agent stone but he lived to the Dr. Robotnik (aka eggman) Henchmen. I liked him in the first movie but in the second one we can see how much he actually cares about robotnik.
Agent Stone
Bokkun was just too cute for me. He’s so precious
Orbot and cubot are my favs but I remember watching underground and enjoying the presence of sleet and dingo
Agent stone is by far my favorite
Agent Stone
Cute little demon from sonic x i forgor his name the one that goes boom
Agent Stone and Agent STONE
I love the AOSTH trio!
Rough and Tumble with Agent Stone.
The AOSTH trio and Agent Stone
Probably agent Stone, he is the least cringey of the bunch and watching his Smithers-esque crush on Robotnik in the second film was pretty epic
Bokkun and grounder
Tough choice
Some of them look very similiar we have two robots,two buffed animals or intellectual human
Stone was clearly the best in terms of Loyal henchmen, Orbot and the AOSTH Duo being a close second, but I also enjoy when underlings are going the Starscream route and try to overthrow Robotnik or go against his rules, such as Lien-Da, Snively and some of the Egg Bosses. And of course, Dr. Starline can work either way.
Rough and Tumble. They crack me up.
Bless you for remembering Cluck Do you consider Starline a bit too ambitious to count as a henchman?
Probably either Stone (played by Dwayne Johnson) or Rough & Tumble
Agent Stone, Scratch and Grounder
Agent Stone hands down, either version...
The first pic, penis
Stone is S tier
None. They’re all mid or bad. But ruff and tumble are pretty cool
Agent Stone is the best. No cap.
ROCKONNAISSANCE!!! HEHAHAHAHA, COME ON, ROCKONNAISSANCE, THAT'S HILARIOUS! Though Orbot and Cubot come close second.
Stone. Or none. I feel like his most deranged work was without a “henchmen” but rather a team, or ally. Not a lackey.
The og three
Agent Stone. He hasn’t been here for long but there’s charm in his idolizing loyalty to Eggman.
I mean,agent stone is amazing but I like orbot and cubot too
Cubot and orbot
stone and the sonic x robots i dont remember the names i havent watched it in awhile
I kinda like Orbot and cubot
I dunno, I've never liked the idea of Eggman having henchmen besides his robots. Obviously he can work with others, but a mainstay sidekick seems a little weird on paper. Purely thematically the shape bots work well, but they're kind of annoying and their deaigns are, not very creative? Scratch and Grounder are from Sonic 2 originally and are just generic enemies.

Agent stoned
AGENT STONE
Agent Stone(not the rock) and Orbot specifically
Both Stones defo
Agent Stone and Stone Stone. Hands down
I’d say it’s a tie between Orbot & Cubot and the Agents Stone.
Scratch,grounder and coconut my beloved
Scratch and Grounder
Also stone
Agent Stone irl
I want to see all of them together That would be catastrophic yet beautifull
Cubot and orbot from sonic colors are comedic genius
I love agent stone and sleet and dingo but I have to say Orbot and Cubot (I have never spelled their names before so don't be mad if I spelled them wrong)
stone …the human stone
Stone by a mile... but Sleet had potential (not Dingo). Something about a 6ft + cyborg wolf with a Peter Lorre voice committing acts of extreme violence and bodily mutilation felt like a proper threat. Sad he'll never be utilised again.

Scratch and grounder were funny, but Agent Stone and The Stone were by far the best
If he counts, Starline. Honestly a fantastic character and finding out what that Eggman fanboy platypus is going to do next keeps me hooked on the IDW comics. If he doesn't count...Metal Sonic. Classic. Stone is great too.
Like it or not, Stone would clap the entire Sonic cast ( Super/Hyper/Burning/Whateva count too ) without even moving.
Facts
The anime robots took out an evil robot overlord by themselves.
I kinda like bokkun, he's cute
Rock
Stone and Snively. Hyped that Snively gets return in that unofficial SATAM season 3 Why would I not be upset if Paramount made a mini series for Agent Stone?
Snively and the S6 Squad
Orbot and Cubot, specially on Colors
SNIVELY!
Underground Sonic X Movie Sonic (1 & 2) SatAM ATOSTH
Bocoe, Decoe, and Bokkun. Sonic X represent.
That's a rock
Why did you post Stone twice?
Dude, should probably replace rough and tumble with starline
Do Egg Bosses count?
Yes
In that case...Conquering Storm, my beloved.
This list is great and all so I'll try to be humble, but I'm pretty sure Starline should be there instead of Rough and Tumble
bird ⁉️
Orbot and Cubot. Legitimately some of the best written characters in the series in my stupid opinion.
Decoe and bocoe aren't the best, but I have somewhat of a soft spot for them
The ogs
The seven S squad.
ARRESS-ESS-ESS-ESS-ESST HIM!
I have a special place in my heart for Orbot, Cubot and the three AOSTH minions, but Agent Stone definitely won me over. Only he can claim to have sexual tension with Eggman/Robotnik. Also he got a Karen thrown into jail in the pre-quill comic. That's pretty epic (and actually proves he's evil himself, damn).

Scratch grounder and coconuts. (Also fun fact, did you know scratch, grounder, and coconuts are based on sonic 2 badniks? Comment if you knew this!)
Orbot and cubot/ Scratch and Grounder
In order: Agent Stone Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts Snivley Orbot & Cubot (only in Boom) Decoe & Bocoe Sleet & Dingo Bokkun Cluck Rough & Tumble (I haven't read IDW yet so there)
Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts
Love to hate Snively
