Troopers were the primary Badnik used in Doctor Ivo Robotnik's occupation of Mobius: checkpoints, prisoner detail, law enforcement, and attacks on Freedom Fighters were all tasks for the Troopers. Unlike normal Badniks, the Troopers did not contain any organic batteries. They also showed a greater degree of intelligence than many normal Badniks, showing fear, arrrogance, confusion, and a malicious delight in enforcing Robotnik's laws.
