==Summary==
The Cyclone (サイクロン, Saikuron), alternatively referred to as the Tornado 3, is a vehicle created by Miles "Tails" Prower that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, a vehicle with three distinct modes . First is its plane mode, its form that most-closely resembles the Tornado and used in a similar fashion. Second is its walker mode, a mech similar to Eggman's Eggwalker that's designed for combat. Its third and final form is its car mode, its swiftest function that allows for high-speed movement.
While it's first and most prominent role was in Sonic Adventure 2, it would later briefly reappear in IDW Publishing's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. It was ultimately destroyed at the hands of swarming Zombots during the events of the Metal Virus plague.Sonic the Hedgehog Issue #21

==Notable Attacks/Techniques==
Modes: The Cyclone comes with three distinct modes; Plane, Walker, and Car. It can freely change between them at the behest of its pilot, each used for a varying situation. Plane focuses most on traversing the skies for a free range of aerial movement. Walker excels in combat through its overwhelming offense and firm defense, providing the pilot with a shield to protect them from direct fire while suppressing fire themselves. Car mode is best when speed is of the essence, its fastest-moving mode while being the least versatile of the three.
Weapons: The Cyclone is loaded with various differing weaponry and attachments, detailed below.
* Bazooka: The Bazooka (バズーカ砲, Bazūka-hō) is an upgrade for the Volkan Cannon which attaches to the gun at the front of Tails' Cyclone, giving it more power and allowing it to destroy containers that were previously impervious to its armaments.
* Laser Blaster: An upgrade to the Cyclone's walker mode, granting its lock-on missiles even farther range which it can track enemies from. They also enhance the explosions generated from enemies which are destroyed by them, capable of damaging all nearby targets. 
* Power Laser: The Power Laser (パワーレーザー, Pawārēzā) is a special attack that the Cyclone can perform, a large beam which emits directly from the front of itSonic Adventure 2: Tails Battle (Dark Story)
* Rocket Launcher: A rectangular missile launcher is unfolded at the back of the Cyclone, firing a barrage of a dozen missiles into the air that will rain down its armaments with pinpoint accuracy.
* Volkan Cannon: Acting as the Cyclone's primary weapon, the Volkan Cannon (バルカン砲, Barukan-hō) is a simple yet effective minigun that's powerful enough to damage the Eggwalker.
