Egg Emperor

The **Egg Emperor** was a large, humanoid mech created by Dr. Eggman. In the past, it was used by Neo Metal Sonic while he disguised as Eggman to battle against Sonic and his friends.

## History

### Piloted by Neo Metal Sonic

At some point in the recent past, on the Final Fortress, a battle happened between Sonic the Hedgehog and Neo Metal Sonic who was impersonating Eggman. This time, the fake Eggman was piloting the Egg Emperor mech, but Sonic and his friends defeated the faker. (StH: #1, #7)

### Battle for the Empire

When Dr. Starline took control of Eggperial City and Dr. Eggman's Badniks, Dr. Eggman fled before he could be captured via his personal chute to the Memorial Garage where several of his past mechs had been stored. Once there, he manned the Egg Emperor and launched it in order to attack Starline.(IS: #4)

As Starline was gloating over his apparent victory in the city's central tower, the Egg Emperor appeared outside the window and thrust its lance inside. Starline fled from the tower and Eggman started scouring the city for him, but the platypus calculated the likely position of the Memorial Garage and made his way there, commandeering the Super Eggrobo. He then engaged Eggman in a spectacular giant robot battle.

The two doctors with their giant robots fought furiously across the city, but the Eggrobo was crippled after being impaled upon the Egg Emperor's lance. Emerging from his mech, Starline activated his Tricore and unleashed the Tricore Blast, destroying the Egg Emperor. However, Eggman knew about the Tricore and had specifically chosen the Egg Emperor knowing that Starline would resort to using the device's full power to defeat his machine. The Tricore had been exhausted following the Tricore Blast and Eggman then fought Starline hand-to-hand, defeating and humiliating him.

## Capabilities

* **Flight** - The Egg Emperor is equipped with rocket jets on its back that allow it to fly and hover.
* **Lance** - The Egg Emperor's primary weapon is a large lance carried in one arm. It is capable of piercing thick metal, allowing it to skewer armoured vehicles and mechs. The lance can also cast deadly energy waves.
* **Missiles** - The Egg Emperor can fire multiple explosive projectiles from the launchers on its back.
* **Shield** - In the Egg Emperor's other arm is a large plate shield that can protect the mech from ballistic attacks.

## Background Information

* The Egg Emperor was based on the machine of the same name in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series, where it first appeared in *Sonic Heroes* as the final boss of each of the four main stories.
* Due to the Egg Emperor being in the Memorial Garage, Dr. Eggman claiming that he thought he would have had more time to refurbish his mechs, and Orbot explaining to Dr. Starline that the Display Museum had yet to be finished as a follow up to saying that Dr. Eggman fled to the Memorial Garage, it can be assumed that the Egg Emperor and/or other mechs in the Memorial Garage would have most likely been moved to the Display Museum had said mechs been refurbished and/or had the Display Museum been finished.
