History
The Big Boy was deployed by Dr. Eggman for another of his countless battles with Sonic the Hedgehog. While Sonic was able to handle the machine, Tails, Knuckles and Amy soon showed up to help him, and despite landing a hit on Knuckles, the Big Boy was outmatched. It was evnetually brought down when the members of Team Sonic struck its critical points and Eggman retreated to his lair in it.

After patching the Big Boy up in a rush, Eggman used it again to fight Sonic, Tails, Amy and Sticks, this time with Orbot and Cubot onboard. Before Eggman's creation could be destroyed however, his new ally Knuckles stopped the heroes in their tracks. With Knuckles' help, Eggman was able to encage Team Sonic and store them in the Big Boy's cargo hold. Eggman then headed towards the village in the Big Boy to attack it until Knuckles betrayed Eggman. Attacking the cockpit and getting rid of Orbot and Cubot, Knuckles quickly dealt heavy damage to the mech, leaving Eggman with no other option than to retreat to his lair with the Big Boy.

Back at Dr. Eggman's lar, the Big Boy underwent heavy repairs by Orbot and Cubot so Eggman could use it for another attack. As the Big Boy neared its re-launch, Cubot found the piko hammer, which got stuck to the Big Boy during the last battle, inside it. Claiming ownership, Cubot played with the hammer inside the Big Boy until Orbot came and tried to take it by force. During their struggle, the Big Boy's warning alarms were turned off, so when Eggman set off with the mech, he was unaware of its structural instability. Soon after, Orbot and Cubot's fight made the piko hammer ricochet throughout the Big Boy, causing it to fall apart just after the hammer rejected itself.

Trivia

 * The Big Boy bears a distinct resemblance to the Eggman Mech in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
