Shredder

Another robot from Sonic the Hedgehog, the Shredder is a giant machine with several long, spindly legs earning it the nickname "Bird Legs" among the Freedom Fighters. It came equipped with giant buzzsaws, enormous tentacles, and a laser capable of absorbing life force energy from a living thing and converting it into power. Sonic defeated it in his first encounter by tricking it into entangling its legs in its own tentacles. Repaired, it was sent against the Great Forest again, only to be destroyed by another of Robotnik's creations.

The Shredbot-a robot identical to the Shredder in design-appeared in an early issue of the Archie comics. It cornered Sally and Bunnie Rabbot, and was only thwarted when Tails-who had recently gained a major boost in intellect due to eating a magical fruit-tricked it into smashing its own buzzsaws together, destroying them.
