Blastoid (Hydrocity Zone)

Blastoid
Blastoid is a Badnik that appears in Hydrocity Zone in the game for the Sega Mega Drive, Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It has the shape of a laser cannon, but doesn't shoot lasers.

Attack Pattern
Blastoid isn't a very big threat to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, although it can catch them off guard. When approached, Blastoid will shoot three fireballs at its predestined path (It can only shoot north-east or north-west). This Badnik has been known to be placed in the best areas the player can get hit, so it becomes more irritating throughout the level.

Sonic the Comic
In the British Publication of Sonic the Comic, Blastoid drones are placed in Hydrocity Zone after Dr. Robotnik's discovery of Angel Island. However, they are destroyed very easily and quickly by Sonic.
