Mega


 * Not to be confused with Mega Man.

"Attention village. Your panic screaming and tracheal hysteria have so charmed and delighted me these past few moments that I wish to extend my appreciation by debuting for you my most extravagant ode to destruction yet! Behold, the Mega!"

- Dr. Eggman, "Unlucky Knuckles"

The Mega is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It was robot created by Dr. Eggman which had been used against Team Sonic and the doctor's invasion of Bygone Island.

Appearance
The Mega resembles a cross between a tank and Cyclops. It has a black, upper humanoid torso with broad and round yellow shoulders with short spikes, thick grey arms with yellow and black hazard stripes and four-fingered hands. Its lower body consists of a red pelvis with grey tracks for legs and yellow and black hazard stripes on the front. Also, on its back it has an exhaust pipe and next to its shoulders it has large vent-like tubes. For head it has a thick yellow neck with a single red eye containing a slit-like pupil.

History
The Mega was first called out by Dr. Eggman to battle Team Sonic when they invaded his lair. The Mega effortlessly beat back Team Sonic, but when it deployed its photon bombs against them, Sticks and Knuckles spiked one of them into the Mega's eye causing it to explode and fall into the ocean.

The Mega was later rebuilt by Eggman as a powerful, but untested prototype. Despite the risks involved, the Mega was used by Eggman for an invasion of Bygone Island. However, before it could do more damage, the Mega suddenly destroyed itself due to a malfunction triggered by Knuckles, who was experiencing a case of bad luck, when he joined Eggman.

Powers and abilities
The Mega was a very durable robot, receiving no damage from Sonic, Knuckles and Sticks full-frontal assaults without flinching. Thanks to its size, the Mega was incredibly strong, causing minor tremors by punching the ground and could send Sticks flying with a flick of its finger. It was also capable of flight.

The Mega is equipped with two different armaments. Its chest contains photon bombs which can track down opponents and explode with a powerful burst and it has hand grenades it can throw and ignite manually.
