Major plot hole in Sonic 2 discovered

Theory: Robotnik had to make cuts to his arsenal in Sonic 2 in order to finance the Death Egg.
Why do you think he spends all of Sonic 3 trying to get it back into space? He sunk to much cost into it to scrap it. Then Sonic completely destroys it, Robotnik goes bankrupt, and can't afford another scheme, which is why you never see another classic era game until Mania, which involves traveling back in time to when Robotnik was financially capable.

He had space stations in Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Unleashed though. Must've had a trust fund or something.
Have the games ever explained how he finances all his space stations, battle fleets, fortresses etc.?
Is Sonic Unleashed classic era? And yeah the theory falls apart once you throw spin-offs and 8 bit titles into the mix. I like to think he's an actual researcher who receives government grants for research, but ends up misappropriating them towards taking over the world.
If you're talking classic era only, Sonic Triple Trouble released after S&K, and Robotnik had a fairly elaborate lair in the final zone, so he couldn't have been completely broke after S3&K.
If you've seen the movie, Robotnik actually comments on how he finances his inventions there.
It's all taxpayer money, lol.
I bet Japan loved that fanmade Sonic x Shadow dating sim/visual novel.
Sonic 2 was the very game that introduced me to the franchise.
But after reading this, I'm feeling very conflicted about holding it in high regard. Thanks Era.
Maybe these feelings will subside with time.

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
Sonic 2 is something else
You are still right here
What has it become
That sweet-ass game
Everything you knew went away
It's a shame
And it could have it all
Though Hill Top Zone is dirt
But it let you down
Sonic made you hurt
It's like every other Sonic cartoon saw Sonic Underground and thought "well, there's no way we're topping this. might as well be garbage"
He probably wanted a helicopter version? Robotnik is kind of insane and builds all kinds of ridiculous contraptions and worlds
that's not a "major plot hole" lol

This is real isn't it?
I don't think it's ever explained but I think in Heroes, Lost World or Colors Sonic actually questioned where Eggman gets the money to build all his crap.
This is likely the real answer.
It's a 2 part machine, and the bottom of the flying portion needs to be able to slot safely into the driving portion.
Him installing helicopter blades in such a specific case is filling what would otherwise be the real plot hole.
Case closed.
He should have let the rotors run during the battle, like he's part of a Trump press conference, then he'd be invulnerable from above, making his craft effectively indestructible. Clearly the answer is that Eggman is fundamentally repulsed by the idea of actually killing Sonic but knows he has to do something to prevent him from wrecking shit at all his factories, laboratories, and other such bases of operations.
I can't believe that Sonic is blue in the first game and blue in the 2nd game as well. Zero character progression
Why does Robotnik's capsule ship have a head light in Sonic 1 and no headlight in Sonic 2?
The helicopter blades were needed to carry the extra weight of his drill car.
after it was destroyed, he could've flown without the blades, but it would require him reprogramming it on the spot,
so he left them on as he escaped.
but more importantly, if he is half man, half egg, why hasn't he hatched yet?
