<h3>It&rsquo;s Dr. Eggman here, and it&rsquo;s time for a change of pace!&nbsp;</h3>

I have hacked my way into LEGO Ideas, not that it was difficult of course, to bring you a challenge.&nbsp;

We NEED to take Sonic down... I could do it myself, but it&rsquo;s more fun if we ALL make LEGO Sonic more Eggman.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Remove his blue quills, add a moustache, do whatever you fancy, and upload your build to LEGO Ideas page and let the world know about my awesomeness.&nbsp;

Let the world know of my glory,&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dr. Eggman&nbsp;&nbsp;

P.S. I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!&nbsp;
