A **Deployment Pod** is a type of floating capsule used for containing Wisps.

## History

### During the War

During the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, the Deployment Pods were used by the latter to send Wisps into enemy areas where they would wait for Resistance soldiers to arrive and free them from the pods. Despite the accommodations, the Wisps did not mind the pods. (StH: #3)

Shortly before the war ended, the mercenaries Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk used Deployment Pods to imprison the Wisps they had hoarded from the town they had taken over. (StH: #3)

### Fallout

After Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna came to Rough and Tumble's town and defeated the two villains, the townspeople helped free the captured Wisps from their Deployment Pods. (StH: #3)

## Appearance

A Deployment Pod is a floating capsule for holding Wisps. As a container, it has a red-colored chassis at the bottom with a transparent top cover. On top of the cover is a red disk with a transparent spike.

## Abilities

The Deployment Pod can float and can contain a Wisp inside of it.

*For the classic version, see Crabmeat (Classic), or the ones in the movie universe, Crabmeat (Movie Universe).*
The **Crabmeat** is a line of Badnik, modelled after a crab, that was created by Dr. Eggman to serve as part of his robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.

## Overview

The Crabmeat, as the name implies, is modelled after a crab. While real crabs are capable of thriving in water or on land, the Crabmeat robot is strictly land-based. They walk about on four spindly legs and are usually of a red colouration. Their arms sport large pincers which they use to grab or punch enemies close-up, but these pincers also conceal projectile weaponry for attacking distant targets.

## History

### 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 were the Crabmeats. Eventually, the badniks came under the control of Neo Metal Sonic, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. They returned to Dr. Eggman's control once his memories were recovered. (StH: #1, #7)

Blasters were deployed by the Eggman Empire during the War. During one of the Diamond Cutters' missions, Whisper the Wolf destroyed a Blaster using her Variable Wispon.

## Appearances

* Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper
	+ Issue 3

## Background Information

* The Blaster was based on the Badnik of the same name from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video games. It made its debut in *Sonic & Knuckles*.
	+ The Blaster in the games is a standard small Badnik, whereas the Blaster in *Tangle and Whisper #3* is a much larger Super Badnik seen from a distance, as evidenced by the silhouettes of Egg Pawns following it.
E-107 Theta

**E-107 Theta** was a robot created by Dr. Eggman.

## History

### Guarding an Eggman Base

E-107 Theta was stationed inside the computer room in one of Dr. Eggman's pyramid bases alongside a horde of Spinas. It encountered Sonic, Silver and Whisper when they broke into the room in which it was stationed. While Theta attacked the intruders, it was protected by the Spinas who kept the heroes occupied. When Whisper shot Theta with her Variable Wispon, it retaliated swiftly, but before Theta could kill Whisper, Silver blocked its missiles. Sonic then moved in and attacked Theta with a swift assault, destroying it and releasing the Picky that powered it. (StH: #8)

## Appearance

E-107 Theta resembles a large, stationary gun turret/tower hybrid that rests on top of a high-tech pillar. The majority of its body consists of two thick disk-like platforms that are colored columbia blue and white and are stacked on top of one another. Its bottom platform is wider than its top platform, and around its perimeter it has yellow rocket turrets. Its lower platform also has recesses along its edge that glow orange, while its top platform has gray miniature turrets along its edge. It also has several gray pipes connected to its lower platform section (all of which are bent downward) and circular patterns around it. It also has a small and yellow platform-like head with a black face and orange eyes. Lastly, it has "Θ" written on its front.

## Personality

E-107 Theta is silent and menacing. It is quick to retaliate and is quite ruthless, being perfectly willing to attack its foes, even when they have no way to defend themselves.

## Abilities

Although it seemingly has no way of moving around, E-107 Theta is a powerhouse. It is capable of firing missiles, which pack enough power to incinerate a Badnik, quite accurately. It is also rather durable, as a Cyan Wisp-derived laser shot to its head caused little more than superficial damage.

## Background Information

* Theta’s title implies that it is a part of the *E-100 series* first seen in *Sonic Adventure*, but this has yet to be confirmed.
* Theta physically resembles E-105 "Zeta", one of its supposed predecessors, also introduced in *Sonic Adventure*.
* Theta’s existence was first alluded to in the Archie Comics continuity, where it was first confirmed to exist through an entry on Archie's official Sonic comic blog along with other previously-unheard of robots in the E-100 series, and it would later be name-dropped in the comic itself. Theta never made a physical appearance during the comic's run, however.
	+ This technically makes Theta the first Archie Sonic-created character to be introduced to the IDW Sonic continuity.

Egg Dragoon

The **Egg Dragoon** was a mech created and used by Dr. Eggman against Sonic the Hedgehog at some point in the recent past.

## History

### Piloted by Eggman

At some point in the recent past, a battle occured between Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman in the Doctor's then-capital city of Eggman Land. This time, Eggman was piloting the Egg Dragoon mech, but Sonic defeated the villain. (StH: #1)

### Imposter Syndrome

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. Once there, he looked at some of his hold mechs, which included the Egg Dragoon among others, while he commented about how he thought he would have had the time to refurbish all of them. (IS: #4)

## Background Information

* The Egg Dragoon was based on the machine of the same name in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* video game series, where it first appeared in *Sonic Unleashed* as one of the final bosses of the game. 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.
* Due to the Egg Dragoon 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 Dragoon 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.
