Several years ago, Ray was among many other Mobians being taken to an unknown base controlled by Robotnik. On the way to the base, Ray was polite to everyone and even gave up his seat to a girl. He also met Mighty, who was also being held captive, and Sonic, who was on one of his first ever Freedom Fighter missions. Inside the base, he and Mighty attempted to help a fox named Fiona when a robot guard said that "other plans" were in store for her. Eventually the guards put down their rebellion and put Mighty and Ray in separate cages, while Fiona was taken to Robotnik himself. Sonic freed Mighty and Ray and the three tried to rescue her. However, things didn't go according to plan and when Ray touched the power stone, he mysteriously began to disappear. Sonic made a mad dash to get him, but he didn't succeed. Mighty was very upset over the whole thing, but Sonic told Mighty to never give up hope. When Mighty returned to the base recently along with Fiona and Nic, to everyone's surprise Ray was there still holding onto the power stone, but unable to escape. Nic "freed" Ray by blasting the gem, and Ray went with Mighty to the Floating Island where he was introduced to Mighty's friends in the Chaotix.

Knuckles cannot be everywhere at once - especially since Echidnaopolis rematerialized on the Island. Guardians guard the island but underneath them are the Constables that leads the Echidna Security Team in Echidnaopolis - The current one being the lop haired Remington. Contemplative and easy to get along with, Remington gets his orders i.e Knuckles and also has a secret connection to enigmatic Brotherhood. Remington, who was trained by the previous Constable Holmes, acts as a police chief to Echidnaopolis - oftentimes recruiting The Chaotix to handle some jobs in town. Though he is by no means a true member of The Chaotix team he will help and often gives the orders in Knuckles' absence to them. A well known villain of Remington and the Chaotix are none other than the Drug Dealer and Mob Boss - Downtown Ebony Hare, whose LSD food poisoning case resulted in the death of Mello, the near death of Charmy, and put the entire Chaotix into the hospital. Remington seeks to make sure people like Ebony are never let loose into the streets again - and though he can be condescing at times, he keeps his place with Knuckles and does realize that IN THE LONG RUN - it is Knuckles that gives the rules. Since Robotnik took control of Angel Island, however, Remington has become a lowly peasant like the rest of the echidnas. He was apparently killed, but is being stored by Robotnik for uncertain purposes.

Faraway in the country of Mercia there once was a band of Freedom Fighters that fought against a tyrant known simply as "The High Sherriff" - an underboss of Doctor Robotnik. Their leader, a hedgehog called Rob headed the Krazy Kritter Freedom Fighters and their fight for freedom went on - until distaster struck...The entire roster of the Krazy Kritter FF's fell to the roboticizer, leaving Rob behind to fend for himself against the sherrif. Rob sent his only relative - a cousin named Amy Rose - off to Knothole village where she would be safe while he kept the fort. Enter a couple of years later when Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails arrive. While Knuckles had come face to face with Athair, an associate named Yanar, and a group of "lost echidnas" known as The Forgotten Tribe, Sonic, on quest to find Ixis Naugus, discovered that the High Sherriff was really the roboticized father of Antoine D'Coolette, one of the Knothole Village Freedom Fighters. Taken prisoner by General D'Coolette, Sonic, Tails, and Yanar awaited their fate while Knuckles, Rob, and an echidna named Mari-An sought to find out what became of the passengers of Tails' crashed biplane and the now kidnapped Forgotten Tribe. Sonic and Tails, after their own escape, helped Rob to free what was left of the Forgotten Tribe and save Yanar from facing a sentence of a public hanging but in the end it was not enough to restrain General D'Coolette who managed to escape in an explosion. Sonic and company rescued their friends and The Forgotten Tribe and parted ways with Rob, vowing to return. Afterwards - while on a quest to locate the lost city of Albion with Knuckles, Rob discovered his true love in the form of Mari-An, the same echidna that assisted Knuckles before. Together the two stayed behind and continue to live in the forests of Mercia. And together they guard the Stonehenge-like entrance to Albion.

The Roboticizer was originally developed by Sir Charles Hedgehog for medical purposes. It could transform a limb or even an entire body from a thing of flesh into a thing of metal and circuits. When Jules was injured, Sir Charles used the Roboticizer to make him a robot. It worked, but Jules became a zombie who could not talk or think. Charles blamed himself, not knowing that it was Julian (also known as Robotnik) who caused this. Shortly after, Robotnik began using Roboticized Mobians as his slaves. A Roboticized Mobian, or "Robian" normally has no free will of his or her own and is foced to work as a drone for Robotnik. Robians in close proximity to the Ultimate Annihilator were given their free will back, but this was later taken away from all but Jules and his wife, Bernie. A Power Ring can often restore free will, as can the Sword of Acorns. A Robian can only be "deroboticized" with a deroboticizer or the machine that roboticized him or her, and only then if all of his or her parts are the original parts from the roboticization process. In other words, making modifications to ones own robian body will eliminate the possibility of deroboticization. If an Overlander is Roboticized unwillingly, he or she becomes a statue.

All Robians were "derobotized" by Ceneca-9009, except Jules, for medical reasons. It is apparently impossible to to Roboticize mobians.
