Crabmeats are first-generation Badniks created by Doctor Robotnik. These robots are based on the enemies from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game and first appeared in Issue 3 of Sonic the Comic.
Crabmeats are modelled after crabs, as their name obviously implies. They wander about on four spindly legs which are best used for sideways movement. They attack foes by pinching and punching with their claws. They are also capable of launching fire blasts from their pincers, though this attack has never been featured in the comic.
Parts of Crabmeat were used to design The Seven Badniks, powerful Badniks built to repel the invading Palmtree Panic Zone forces. Crabmeat was part of an unprecedented three Badniks, having his claws as a weapon on Crabaton, Crabinator, and Buzznik.
