Egg-mech

The **Egg-mech** is a vehicle that appears in *Sonic The Hedgehog 2*. It is a massive mech created and piloted by Dr. "Eggman" Robotnik.

## Description

### Appearance

The Egg-mech is a towering humanoid mech. It possesses a head and a torso that come together in an egg-like shape, with its head section bearing a close resemblance to Robotnik's face. Notably, its head is gray with a red top section, round eyes and wide mouth section consisting of several square sections that serve as windows into the cockpit, black and pointy eyebrows, a pointy red nose, a red neckline, and triangular black flaps attached to the nose that resemble a mustache. ON its torso it possesses red plating covering the top of its chest and its sides, as well as its lower torso, with gray and black layers of metal right underneath them and between these sections. It also has thick gray shoulders with yellow plating covering them. The aforementioned shoulder plating in particular have red edges and two downward-pointing red arrow marks on each of them. The rest of its arms consists of black elbows, gray forearms with yellow collars with gray studs around their upper section, red forearm plating, and large red hands. Its legs on the other hand consist of gray thighs, thick and red lower legs with gray ankle collars, and large red feet. Also, on its back are what appears to be three rocket exhaust holes.

The insides of the Egg-mech consists mostly of gears, lights and circuits, with the exception of its head and torso, which share a large, spacious room with a gyroscopically stable platform inside it that reaches up to the height of the head. It also possesses several ledges along the insides of its torso, as well as a secondary seat for the co-pilot, which takes the form of a spherical cockpit positioned in the nose of the mech with an instrument board in front of it.

When powered by the Master Emerald, the Egg-mech's eyes and mount glow green. When running on auxiliary power however, its eyes and mouth glow red instead.

### Features and traits

The Egg-mech is a machine of nearly unprecedented might. It is equipped with vast offensive capabilities that include missile launchers on its front torso that can unleash barrages of missiles, destructive and explosive lasers that it can fire from its eyes, nose and knuckles, wrist-mounted flamethrowers that can unleash torrents of enduring flames, and the "'Stache Smasher", a feature where the Giant Eggman Robot clamps its mustache panels together to crush anything caught between them. To match its size, the Giant Eggman Robot is tremendously durable: even when hit by its own missiles or Knuckles' strongest attack, the Giant Eggman Robot emerged from those scrapes without any damage. Its forearms are also equipped with collapsible rocket thrusters that it can use to increase the momentum of its punches. In addition, it carries a large infantry of green and gray-armored Badniks that it can deploy in swarms from its shoulders to attack smaller enemies. It is also capable of playing music, possessing a “world domination playlist” of songs to choose from. In exchange for all its power, however, the Egg-mech is a bit heavy and slow. It also comes with a computer for operating it via voice comamnds.

The Egg-mech is primarily powered by the Master Emerald. While the Master Emerald is infused with Robotnik, the Egg-mech acts as an extension of Robotnik himself while he resides insides its head, allowing Robotnik to control it with his thoughts and movements. He is also able to sense through the mech, such as when he felt Knuckles punching its fist. In the event that the Giant Eggman Robot loses the Master Emerald as its power source however, it can switch over to auxiliary power upon Robotnik's voice command. Furthermore, it can operated manually using the Control Glove and the instrument pads on the platform inside its head. With the former in particular, the Egg-mech can mimic the arm movements of the Control Glove's wielder. In return, the wielder can feel the pressure of the forces that the Egg-mech will come into contact with.
