Can't find unused Western names for Eggman?

I swear there used to be info on Wikipedia, Sonic News Network, Sonic Retro, etc. that listed rejected names that SOA were considering before settling on Robotnik. I think one was something like "Mr. Badman." I can't seem to find them anywhere now. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

(Its driving me nuts all the sudden. lol)

A quick google search of the only one I could remember turned up this list:

  • Dr X
  • Dr What
  • Dr Gloom
  • Fatty Lobotnik
  • Mr Badyear
  • Mr Badwrench

At the very least I know Fatty Lobotnik is indeed one of them - it was actually referenced in LEGO Dimensions' Sonic pack, of all things.

Wow...all those names are horrible. I mean I guess the puns on "Goodyear" and "Goodwrench" are kinda cute but yeesh.

Some of these weren't "actual" names for the character, they were supposed to be disparaging nicknames Sonic would use.

"A question from someone at another board: How do you feel about the term "Robuttnik" being used in the sonic cartoons?"

I found a list of "nicknames" for robotnik/names that sonic could call him that I suggested:

mister badwrench
mr. bad year
fatty lobotnik
