The Crabmeat is a line of Badnik, modelled after a crab, that was created by Dr. Eggman to serve as part of his robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.
Overview
The Crabmeat, as the name implies, is modelled after a crab. While real crabs are capable of thriving in water or on land, the Crabmeat robot is strictly land-based. They walk about on four spindly legs and are usually of a red colouration. Their arms sport large pincers which they use to grab or punch enemies close-up, but these pincers also conceal projectile weaponry for attacking distant targets.
History
Dr Eggman’s Birthday
Fallout
After Sonic the Hedgehog managed to defeat Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained and continued to attack without a leader. Among these robots were the Crabmeats. Eventually, the badniks came under the control of Neo Metal Sonic, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. They returned to Dr. Eggman's control once his memories were recovered. (StH: #1, #7)

Background Information
- The Crabmeat was based on the enemy of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. It made its debut in the original game for the Sega Genesis.
- It is presumed that like the rest of the Classic era badniks, the Crabmeats exhibited characteristic traits, such as fawning over the doctor and celebrating his birthday on their own volition.
- They are also shown to be more expressive.
