Grounder Robot is one of the secondary antagonists of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. He is a Badnik robot and a partial clone of Scratch, created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik as an adversary of Sonic the Hedgehog. Along with Scratch, he is a member of Robotnik's Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad and one of his main henchmen. Grounder and Scratch serve largely as the comic relief in the series. Though he and Scratch are in charge of capturing Sonic and his friend Tails, they are incompetent and almost always fail. These repeated failures frequently result in Grounder and Scratch receiving a lot of abuse (both verbal and physical) from Dr. Robotnik.
