Egg Fighter: Sword

"A sword-carrying variation on the Egg Fighter, these units put the long range of their massive blades to work in an attempt to slice and dice their enemies."

- Description, Sonic Unleashed

The Egg Fighter: Sword is an enemy that appears in the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed and the console/PC version of Sonic Generations. It is a model of Dr. Eggman's robots and a variant of the Egg Fighter. As their name implies, the Egg Fighter: Swords wield swords that they use in close combat.

Physical Appearance
The Egg Fighter: Swords are identical to the standard Egg Fighter model. They have a torso in the shape of a little more than a hemisphere, with four flashlights arranged in a rectangle on their front and a flat rounded head on top of it. They also have relatively shot legs, with flat feet and circular ankles, and arms that extends almost down to the ground with four-fingered hands. They are all colored steel blue and silver, and have purple eyes.

Power and Abilities
As an Egg Fighter model, the Egg Fighter: Swords possess above average physical strength, enough to let them move barrels at least three times their own size.

Because of the being designed to wield swords, the Egg Fighter: Swords possess noticeable swordsman skills. They are able to wield swords with proficiency in close combat, where they can perform both fast strikes and devastating special attacks where they utilize their robotic physiology to their fullest.

Weapons
Each of the Egg Fighter: Swords wield a single large double-edged sword with a cutting chain on the edges, making their swords resemble chainsaws and ensures lethal damage to their targets.

Sonic Unleashed
The Egg Fighter: Swords first appeared on the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed. In the game, they are rather common enemies and can be encountered several of the game's Action Stages, both daytime and nighttime.

Due to possessing a large sword, the Egg Fighter: Swords have a longer attack range and do more damage than the regular Egg Fighters. In the game, the Egg Fighter: Swords' attack patterns are either jumping into the air and swinging their swords down on the player, or launching a short, but quick dash up to the player while slashing with their sword. In the Nighttime Action Stages, the Egg Fighter: Swords can also perform a special attack where they stand on their head while spinning around with their sowrd, turning them into harmful spinning tops that will damage the player upon contact.

Sonic Generations
The Egg Fighter: Swords reappeared in the console/PC version of Sonic Generations. They can only be encountered in Rooftop Run.

Like in Sonic Unleashed, the swords that the Egg Fighter: Swords wield give them greater attack range than the regular Egg Fighters. Their attack patterns in the game are only swinging their swords at the player. However, if Sonic hits their sword while attacking them, the player will take damage.
