The Shield Hunter made an appearance in the anime Sonic X. Following Perfect Chaos' attack on Station Square, the Shield Hunters were built by G.U.N. to combat the growing threat of Doctor Eggman, after having being giving clearance to being constructed from the President.

One Shield Hunter could be seen alongside a Laser Hunter when it was being constructed in Area 99. It was, however, not seen deployed.
