Egg Hammer

The **Egg Hammer** is a line of Super Badnik created by Dr. Eggman to serve as some of his tougher robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.

## Overview

The standard Egg Hammer looks similar to the Egg Pawn, but is about three times larger and much heavier. It possesses purple armor and a round torso with a black lower half and a thick collar around its neck. It also has two red bolts on its underbelly and large cup-shaped shoulders with round red spikes (similar to knobs). It also possesses large hands and feet, yet thin gray upper arms and thighs with red bands around the ankles and wrists and purple armor around the forearms and lower legs. Its hands are mainly purple with gray fingers and its feet are shoe-like and purple with black soles. Lastly, it has a dome-shaped head with menacing light green eyes, a sharp red nose, and pointy teeth.

The Egg Hammer possesses immense strength, enough to carry and swing around its large hammer with ease. It is also well-versed in the usage of hammers, as it know how to use them for both offense and defense. As noted by Sonic, the Egg Hammer can also be pretty fast despite its size.

Each Egg Hammer carries a large purple and gray hammer with spikes. It mainly uses it for basic melee combat, but it can also use it defensively by using its handles to block attacks. Its hammer itself is quite durable, being able to block a Spin Attack without receiving a scratch, although a Rolling Combo can easily snap it in half.

On at least one occasion, one wielded a wrecking ball on a chain. (Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #2)

## Personality

Basically, the Egg Hammer is a mindless and silent drone programmed to follow its leader's every command. As such, when left without a leader to follow, it becomes directionless and only able to cause harm by accident. Under a guiding force however, it is a cold and merciless machine that carries out commands without question.

## Background Information

* The Egg Hammer was based on the robot of the same name in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series. It was unnamed in the comic, but is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.
* The Egg Hammer made its first appearance in *Sonic Heroes*.

Blowfish Transporter

The **Blowfish Transporter** was a mass-produced model of Badnik created by Dr. Eggman that usually serves as a transport vessel for regular Badnik troops.

### Fallout

After Sonic the Hedgehog managed to defeat Eggman in their previous encounter, the doctor disappeared. However, his robot forces remained and continued to attack without a leader. Among these robots was at least one Blowfish Transporter. Eventually, the Blowfish Transporter came under the control of Neo Metal Sonic, who made it and its fellow Badniks more cohesive. (StH: #1, #7)

At one point, a town was attacked by a Death Crab. Although it was stopped by the combined efforts of Sonic and Amy Rose, unbeknownst to them, it was only a decoy, as a Badnik army consisting of Egg Pawns and Egg Walkers invaded from the west. After working with the town to dispatch of many of the Badniks, Sonic and Amy came across a Blowfish Transporter that was releasing Egg Pawns to attack the town. Sonic and Amy used their combination attack, Croquette Bomber, to destroy the Badnik and stop the invasion. (StH: #2)

A single blowfish Transporter was used to drop a squad of shadow androids into Eggperial city to eliminate Sonic and friends, who invaded the area.

## Appearance

The Blowfish Transporter is based on a pufferfish. It has a round body with purple armor and a white underbelly. It also has a pair of wing-like fins with purple and white turbine engines, along with a pair of smaller turbine engines on the bottom of its belly. The Blowfish Transporter has as well two black eyes, a flat orange beak, and a small caudal fin on its rear. It also has a hatch on its front belly which leads to a wide storage room inside its body.

## Personality

Basically, the Blowfish Transporter is a mindless and silent drone programmed to follow its leader's every command. As such, when left without a leader to follow, it becomes directionless and only able to cause harm by accident. Under a guiding force however, it is a cold and merciless machine who carries out their commands without question.

With the residents unable to escape either, since Badniks were waiting outside the town, Rough and Tumble could do whatever they wanted. (StH: #3)

### Fallout!

Eventually, Knuckles the Echidna went to investigate the town, but did not report back after a while. While there, he single-handedly destroyed the Badnik horde that was surrounding the town. After finishing off a Death Egg Robot sentinel, Sonic the Hedgehog came by on Amy Rose's request to check up on him. Knuckles explained that the town's Wispon shipments had dwindled and he came by to find out why. He and Sonic entered the town, finding the citizens in a panic. There, they were informed by the gatekeeper that their town's Wispons had been stolen by the duo of mercenaries, Rough and Tumble as well as how they saved the town and then conquered it. Knuckles and Sonic went off to the town's supply depot-turned-fortress to put an end to the mercenaries' cruelty. With aid from the many Wisps being hoarded, Knuckles and Sonic easily defeated the mercenaries. Rough and Tumble were then taken to the town's jail while Knuckles and Sonic celebrated their victory with the villagers and Wisps. (StH: #3)

### Battle For Angel Island and Big's Big Adventure

During the battle for Angel Island, Dr. Starline liberated Rough and Tumble from the town's prison, hiring them as lackeys. While Big the Cat was searching for his friend, Froggy, he happened to see Dr. Starline use the Warp Topaz to free Rough and Tumble out of their jail cell, with Big the Cat believing him to be a magician.

### The Last Minute

Barricade Town was one of the many populated areas affected by Dr. Eggman's Metal Virus.

## Notable Residents

* Rough (previously imprisoned in the town's jail)
* Tumble (previously imprisoned in the town's jail)

## Background Information

Please help improve *IDW Sonic Hub* by expanding it.

**Chocola the chao** is a chao who is like Cheese the Chao but his skin is brown and has a blue bow tie. His companion is Vanilla the Rabbit.Chocola is also the Twin brother of Cheese the Chao

## History

Both Cheese and Chocola are present in Cream and vanilla's house when Eggman dumped the metal virus in their village. Both of the chao rushed to attack the zombots intruding in their house, only realizing too late that they became infected. After the refugees were sent to the evac point for the shuttle, Sonic rushed into the rabbit's house to get two large jars and trapped the chaos in each one, knowing that they were dangerous due to their ability to fly. By the time Sonic and the rescued villages were successfully evacuated, the both of the zombot chao eventually broke out of their glass jars.

The zombot cheese, along with the Zombot Chocola, made it to Central City, where they simply glanced at an otherwise unnoticed Tails, who was on top of his house, trying to extract the real metal virus that was recently dumped on the city. They snapped the power cables outside of his workshop, preventing the upload to the cure of the virus.
Death Egg Robot (mass-produced)

*You may be looking for the original piloted version, or the pilotable one used during the Eggman War.*
The **Death Egg Robot sentinel** is a large mass-produced Super Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.

## History

### Past

During the Eggman War, Dr. Eggman had mass-produced many Death Egg Robot sentinels and used them as heavy assault units. They would attack cities and use their sheer size and strength to demolish buildings which Eggman would later build over.

### Fallout

An unknown number of Death Egg Robot sentinels remained active following the war. After mercenary duo Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk liberated Barricade Town from Badniks and subsequently conquered it for themselves near the end of the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, sentinels and Egg Pawns began stalking the town. These robots would be co-opted by Neo Metal Sonic as he attempted to conquer the world in Eggman's place. (StH: #1, #2, #3, #7)

## Appearance

The Death Egg Robot sentinel is designed after the original Death Egg Robot, but several times larger, being over three times the size of an apartment building. It has an egg-shaped body with a narrow pelvis, stubby and heavily armored legs, thin arms with cone-like forearms, thick gauntlets, cap-shaped shoulders attached to bars rather than sockets, three straight spikes for fingers, and a jet pack on its back. It also has triangular markings on its chest and a dome-shaped head. The face of the Death Egg Robot sentinel is also almost blank, with the exception of a single red eye and a red field for a mouth. It is also completely gray and black with glowing red outlines.

## Abilities

The Death Egg Robot sentinel is a giant humanoid machine with a heavily armored hull that is near-impervious to conventional weapons. Its arms are telescopic and can quickly extend to ram and smash through structures. Its eye can also fire a concentrated laser beam to carve through enemies and obstacles.

## Background Information

* The Death Egg Robot sentinel was based on the robot of the same name in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series where it first appeared in *Sonic Forces*. It was unnamed in the comic, but is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.
Chaos Emerald Siphon

The **Chaos Emerald Siphon** was a part of Dr. Eggman's Faceship. These devices served as not only as holders of the Chaos Emeralds, but were used to direct the emeralds' power to the Faceship. After Eggman was upsurped from his ship, the siphon was split into multiple parts which were attached to each member of the Deadly Six.

## History

### The Faceship

After Dr. Eggman was handed the complete set of Chaos Emeralds by his fan, Dr. Starline, the emeralds were placed on the doctor's throne, with the devices not only used to hold the emeralds, but to also direct the power of the gems to power up the Faceship. When the Zeti took over the Faceship, Zavok proceeded to grab all but one of the siphons attached to the emeralds, giving each of his pack one emerald to increase their power.

### All or Nothing

With the siphons and Chaos Emeralds in their possession, the Zeti became powerful enough to command legions of Zombots at once. They proceeded to terrorize the surviving citizens and spread the Metal Virus across the globe, but would soon be confronted by the members of the Restoration in a series of surprise attacks. The siphon devices were destroyed in these strikes and the Chaos Emeralds liberated, causing the Zeti to lose their power over the Zombots.

After the Faceship was brought down, Zavok used the last Emerald Siphon to power himself up, transforming into a giant and attacking Angel Island. He was confronted by Sonic, Metal Sonic and Silver, who managed to take the last emerald from him, allowing Sonic and Silver to achieve their Super Forms and defeat him.

### Legacy

At some time after hearing about the resurging threat of the Zeti, Tails went to work in his lab in Central City in order to develop something to help in the fight against them. Basing his research on Eggman's previous Chaos Emerald Siphon, Tails reversed engineered the Siphon in order to inhibit the Zeti's magnetic powers instead of increasing it.

## Appearance

The Chaos Emerald Siphon appears as a circular object with three metallic claws meant to attach to a particular circuit, allowing transfer of Chaos energy into an intended machine. A Chaos Emerald is inserted into the main ring. The device could also be attached to a Zeti's body and transfer energy to them via the Zeti's innate control over electromagnetic signals.

## Abilities

The general purpose of the Siphons were to hold the Chaos Emeralds and direct the energy to its intended purpose. Originally, it was suppose to direct the Chaos energy from the attached emerald to power the Faceship.

Zavok, and the rest of the Yeti removed all but one of the Chaos Emeralds and their attached devices, hooking them to themselves to reserve the emeralds' power, increasing their strength.
Coral Cave Island

**Coral Cave Island** was an island on Blaze’s planet in her home dimension that was named after its underground caverns.

During an incident with the Phantom Ruby, Sonic had to face the enhanced Hard Boiled Heavies, led by Heavy King, who attempted to overthrow their creator. Luckily Sonic destroyed all of the enhanced robots. (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special: Seasons of Chaos)

For several years, Eggman's badniks went out of their way to celebrate their creator's birthday, despite his reluctance. (Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special: Dr. Eggman's birthday)
