Eggman Family Vacation is episode 49 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 28 October 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
After Eggman and Morpho bungle another attack and blame each other, Mombot packs the family off on a bonding holiday to her new timeshare in Roboken, the robots’ city in the clouds. Team Sonic, thrilled to be rid of him, gets a holiday of its own: Amy’s packed itinerary.
Robot cities aren’t built for humans. The timeshare is a dump, the massages hurt and the food is literally metal, while back home a stray Eggman missile, a giant snake and a cave of angry widabits leave the heroes wishing they’d stayed in. Then Eggman notices how clever Bolts is, and with Morpho’s help, posing first as Mighton and then as a monster plant, he steals Bolts’ Intelligence Chip.
Mighton and Cyborg Sonic chase the family’s Egg Rocket back to the island, where the chip makes Eggman’s robots suddenly smart: a Fire Bot with deadly aim, a Motobug pulling clever moves, each passing it on as the last is smashed. The trail ends when Mombot starts preaching non-violence. Rather than risk her, Eggman hands the chip back, and over dinner he declares he has learned to appreciate family. Dessert, sadly, is a pie made of metal nuts.
