Blowfish Transporter (IDW)

The Blowfish Transporter is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a mass-produced model of Badniks created by Dr. Eggman that usually serves as transport vessels for regular Badnik troops for assault operations.

Appearance
Blowfish Transporters are based on the pufferfish. They have round bodies with purple armor and white underbellies. They also have a pair of wing-like fins with purple and white turbine engines, along with a pair of smaller turbine engines on the bottom of their bellies. Blowfish Transporters have as well two black eyes, a flat orange beak and a small caudal fin on their rear. They also have hatches on their front bellies which lead to a wide storage room inside their bodies.

Past
After Sonic the Hedgehog thwarted Dr. Eggman in their last encounter, the Doctor disappeared while his Blowfish Transporters and the rest of his Badnik army remained. Without a leader however, the Blowfish Transporters were directionless and no longer a unified threat. However, they would still randomly attack anyone they came across (although such incidents were more accidental than aggression-based ).

Fallout
Eventually, the Blowfish Transporters came under the control of an unknown villain, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. Soon after, a Blowfish Transporter was deployed to help a Badnik army invade a town. While bringing more Egg Pawns into the battlefield however, the Blowfish Transporter got taken out by Sonic and Amy's Croquette Bomber combo attack.
