Eggman Unplugged is episode 26 of Season 1 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by OuiDo! Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 16 May 2015 on Cartoon Network.
Synopsis
Team Sonic’s best prank yet, a tub of whipped cream catapulted onto Eggman courtesy of his own spy camera, works a little too well. Sticks’ rant about the evils of technology strikes a chord, and the doctor renounces every machine he owns, except Orbot and Cubot. Soon he is learning to use a bowl and spoon and arming himself with kitchenware.
An empty lair is too good to pass up, and the Lightning Bolt Society moves in. They have no idea what any of the buttons do, which is the problem: a squabble over a joystick sends the Octopus Bot into the village, a stray missile lands in the canyon and a swarm of Bee Bots joins in, with nobody really in charge.
Sonic finds Eggman happily farming and not remotely interested, until Dave switches off Orbot and Cubot by accident and the doctor storms back into action. A secret back door, and a fake plan the Society overhears, let him and the heroes retake the lair. Eggman asks for a few weeks’ truce while he repairs the damage and offers everyone some home-churned butter. They decline, and the doctor faces the prospect of eating it all himself.
