Energy Dome

==Summary==
Energy Domes are the main defensive weapons in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics.
Energy Domes are city-wide forcefields that protects a given location. They can keep powerful, destructive outside forces at bay while doubling as containment. They have existed in the comics Sonic the Hedgehog issue #37 and have been used by the Heroes and Villains. Without them, the Heroes (and in some cases, the Villains) would not have survived some events throughout the story.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Energy Dome
Origin: Sonic the Hedgehog (Pre-Genesis Wave)
Age: Unknown (The Brotherhood), over 1 year (Robotropolis), less than 6 months (New Mototropolis)
Classification: Forcefield, Robotnik Creation
Wielders: Dr. Ivo Robotnik,New Mobotropolis is more than likely using Robotroplis' Energy Dome technology. NICOLE is controlling the nanites with her will to create the Energy Dome, nanites made by Dr. Robotnik. She has a direct line to Robotropolis from New Mobotropolis and the Kingdom of Acorn had no forcefield technology prior to New Mobotropolis. NICOLE, The Brotherhood of Guardians, likely A.D.A.M.
Powers and Abilities:
* Forcefield Creation (Is a bubble of energy used defensively)
* Sealing via physical containment (Physical matter and Energy can't pass through it. Has trapped characters like Sonic the Hedgehog and withstood the force from the Iron King)
* Absorption via the Power Siphon (Convert Nuclear Radiation into power)
Resistance to
* Chaos Energy Projection (Is capable of bouncing off Chaos Energy from the likes of Super Sonic and Enerjak)
* Nuclear/Cosmic Radiation (Nuclear Radiation can't pass through it) and Extreme Cold
Speed: Immobile. Infinite turning on (Surprised Sonic when Sonic the Hedgehog issue #90 the Sword of Acorns. Almost caught Sonic and Tails as )Sonic the Hedgehog issue #110
Durability: Complex Multiverse level (7-D. Sonic the Hedgehog issue #184 caused by the clash between Enerjak and Super Sonic. The AOE of the blast completely destroyed the Chaos Emerald Chamber)Energy Domes in Archie have never been broken by brute, physical force in the 20 years of the comic. They have been bypassed by , and one of them had but they have never been penetrated without an exploit.Sonic the Hedgehog issue #181Sonic the Hedgehog issue #208Sonic the Hedgehog issue #79In the Home arc, Dr. Eggman planned to send his and release its radiation but they were defeated before they could reach the barrier. However, while it seems to imply the Shadow Bots could take down the barrier with brute force, there are several reasons why this is not the case.
*Dr. Eggman would return, after the Egg Fleet's failure to "penetrate" the Dome and the destruction of the Egg Beater, to New Mobotropolis so he could instead to try erasing NICOLE and her control over the forcefield before Sonic intercepted him.
*Amy Rose defeated Dr. Eggman sent by herself. to , who knocks Sonic the Hedgehog (who can also one shot Shadow Bots when he tries) . The Iron King couldn't "penetrate" either Energy Domes.Sonic the Hedgehog issue #130Sonic the Hedgehog issue #180Sonic the Hedgehog issue #132
Range: 1-10 Kilometers, City wide
Standard Equipment: (Nicole, likely A.D.A.M., only) (NICOLE built it to covert the nuclear fallout of Robotopolis’ ruins into power for New Mobotropolis while cleaning it from within. and even form a duplicate underground)
Weaknesses: Weakpoints (Emerald Chamber),The Weakpoints from the Brotherhood’s Energy Dome are just stated as “barrier's weakest”. The comic doesn’t detail how weak those weakpoints are to the rest of the barrier but it’s just enough for Shadow Bots to get through. Weakpoints don't scale. Hacking (Robotropolis), Underground (Cities) (Robotnik Prime despite having access to Energy Dome technology, implying the forcefield wouldn't protect him from an underground assault)While the Energy Dome made by Dr. Robotnik Prime used a satellite to create the comic's 1st forcefield, this is likely no longer the case. His successor, who made his own Energy Dome for Robotropolis, would later have trouble with New Mobotropolis and its forcefield had no mention of using satellites. His plan to take down Robotropolis' Energy Dome to release its nuclear substance also had no involvement with any satellites.
Feats:
* Holds in the to New Mobotropolis.
* Sonic the Hedgehog issue #177 the Egg Beater and Dr. Eggman’s Egg Fleet .Sonic the Hedgehog issue #175 Combine with Sonic saving all the citizens of the Kingdom of Acorn from the Egg Grapes, the use of the Energy Dome Sonic the Hedgehog issue #200 as his intention was to finish his rivalry with Sonic and the Kingdom of Acorn right there and then.
* The Energy Domes of Sonic the Hedgehog issue #206 and stonewalled the Iron King.
* Tanked a blast from Enerjak and Super Sonic.
==Notable Attacks/Techniques==
Usage
* The standard usage for Energy Domes is to protect entire cities from outside forces. First shown created by Dr. Robotnik Prime, Dr. Robotnik purposely made the field to protect his ruin city for repairs, which ironically would later protect his sworn enemy from him when NICOLE would later take that tech for the Freedom Fighters. However, Sonic would use his wits to turn the impenetrable field into a prison. He tricked Dr. Eggman Mach 2 to activate the forcefield, making Dr. Eggman's city into a fired by G.U.N.’s computer hasty actions, making the city inhabitable.

Sealing
NICOLE can produce spherical forcefields to contain and stop the movements of her opponents. She can also control whether it has air holes or not, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
