Zombot Sphinx-inator

"The destroyer of plants from the ancient sands."

- First heading of the Zombot Sphinx-inator in the Almanac Entry.

"To add that extra bit of wickedness to the Sphinx-inator Dr. Zomboss chiseled his creation from the stonework of cursed tombs. You should not take this instance of reuse and recycle to mean he's going green. The only thing green about him is his tongue."

- Second heading of its Almanac Entry.

The Zombot Sphinx-inator is one of the robots created by Dr. Zomboss in the second game of Plants vs. Zombies. It appeared as a boss in Ancient Egypt - Day 25, Ancient Egypt - Day 35, Modern Day - Day 32 and Arena. Like the original Zombot, it was used by him to defeat the plants, the Players and eat their brains.

History
The Zombot Sphinx-inator first appeared in Ancient Egypt - Day 25 as a boss. The Players has to use Wall-nuts, Cabbage-pults, Bloomerangs, Iceberg Lettuce, Grave Busters, Bonk Choys, and Repeaters to fight Dr. Zomboss. After defeating the Zombot, its legs were destroyed, he warped in a time portal and teleported away, and the Players earns the Ancient Egypt trophy (a money bag when replayed).

It also returned in Ancient Egypt - Day 35 as an extra boss. Dr. Zomboss upgraded his Zombot by launching more missiles, summoning more tombstones and summoning veteran zombies. The player has to use Bloomerangs, Iceberg Lettuces, Grave Busters, Repeaters, Celery Stalkers, Sap-fling, and Parsnips. After he was defeated, the Players earned a money bag (formerly a mystery gift box).

In Modern Day - Day 32, when the game picked Ancient Egypt boss fight, Dr. Zomboss used his Zombot Sphinx-inator to fight the Players. They have to use Pirate Seas plants (Kernel-pults, Snapdragons, Spikeweeds, Spring Beans, Coconut Canons, Threepeaters, and Cherry Bombs) to fight him. He summoned the same zombies and used the same attacks from Ancient Egypt - Day 25. After he was defeated, the Players earned a Modern Day Piñata (formerly a mystery gift box), and a money bag when replayed.

It also returned to Arena as a boss in Zoybean Pod' Boss Fight Tournament with infinite health. After it was defeated in each phase, the Players earned 10000 points.
