Description Dr. Robotnik's favored form of minion is one which doesn't question orders and has no pesky conscience to get in the way of executing them.
The mobians derivatively refer to these recon and assault robots as 'badniks'. Sometimes more generally they're referred to as 'Eggman Robots' because of the popular (if unfortunate) nickname of their leader. 
Unlike robotized humans or mobians Swatbots are manufactured wholesale and require no training as they all have rudimentary maps of their patrols, behavioral subroutines (generally 'kill anything not where it's supposed to be') and are constantly receiving updates from central control as well as sending their camera feeds directly to Robonik's throne room for observation. 
Swatbots have a variety of functions which each come with their own toolset from guards armed with blasters to workers welding wrenches and shovels. Any Swatbot at a moment's notice regardless of designation can be commanded to destroy and will do so by any means available to them of the moment from locating a conventional weapon to using their heavy metal ligaments to squash an opponent into submission.

I love this one’s “action movie pose”. XD

Also, I sense some subtle Bionicle influence in those legs...

I liked the idea of something both mobile and strong.
Also...can't go wrong guns akimbo XD

I suppose not. XD

By the way, do you think the “voices” of the SWATBots could sound a bit like this?: m.youtube.com/watch?t=94s&…

Less histrionic, but similar XD
Similar to this too.

I like the idea of the Swats having voices designed to intimidate, and they probably only know a handful of phrases. They don't need to do THAT much, and none of what they do requires a personality

Alternatively, the Replica chatter could be a bit more fitting for the humans soldiers of Robotnik’s army.

Oh yes! Actually the Repilca voices always intrigued me because despite being 'clones' they all seem to have individual personalities and show...well...FEAR. It's a little disturbing when your enemy indicates he's a sentient with their own feeling on being shot at. 
As opposed to Stormtroopers who in the latest films seem to have no personality O_o

One of the creepiest examples of that kind of thing is Dark Sector which has some of the most worrisomely pained and tragic death sounds I've ever heard.

O_o Well, that’s...somewhat off-putting.

It kinda makes me wonder if we could eventually see something like this later on in Freebound when the Knothole rebels are fighting against some of Robotropolis’ human combatants: m.youtube.com/watch?v=S7GMNTJa…

A Synbot from the 2008 Canadian comic book “until the blood runs clear” which puts a sci fi spin on the Second American Civil War. Set in the year 2525, the planet Kor-il is besieged by three factions. The big bad is Dr Wessel leading a army of machines based on once thought dead ideology of syndicalism.

Well Trotsky and his army of bolshevik penguins make sure that no other worldly imperialist from messing up history any more than it is XD

Plus its simple to just replace one portrait with a new one and change some names around
Though his totalist doctrine needs a good name

Also just because i can

United forever in friendship and labor,
Our mighty Republic will ever endure.
Our glorious nation will live through the ages.
The dream of a people their fortress secure!

Through days dark and stormy where great Ivo led us
Our eyes saw the bright Sun of freedom above
and [Snivly/Omelette/Gus Hall] our leader with faith in the people,
Inspired us to build up the land that we love!

CHORUS:
Long live our American motherland, built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see!
