Buzz-Bomber


 * For the game character, see Buzz Bomber.

The Buzz-Bomber is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series. It is a hornet-based robot variant created by Dr. Robotnik. They were mass-produced in swarms and lead by one of their own units dubbed "Bomber-One" under Robotnik's command.

History
The Buzz-Bomber "Bomber-One" was first used to capture Tails, in an attempt to flush out Sonic the Hedgehog. It worked, but Bomber One was shot down when its own laser ricocheted off a rock and rebounded back on it.

A larger group of Buzz-Bombers lead by Bomber-One were later used to carry Robotnik's new defoliating chemical, with the intention of spraying it over the Great Forest and killing all the trees. However, the chemical tanks were destroyed by Sonic, and the Buzz-Bombers were then pelted by water balloons from the Freedom Fighters' catapults, short-circuiting them. Although Robotnik ordered them to press on with the attack, the Buzz-Bombers fled.

Powers and abilities
The Buzzbombers are capable of flight, and can shoot red lasers with their stinger. The stinger itself is quite sharp.

Weakness
The Buzz-Bombers are not waterproof, meaning that dowsing them with just a small portion of water will short-circuit them. While it is not enough to destroy them, it will disorient them.

Trivia

 * The Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics used the design of the Buzz-Bombers for their version of the robot for the majority of the comics before moving onto the design for their game counterparts.
