Eggmobile (Sonic Boom)

"You were too beautiful to live..."

- Dr. Eggman, "The Curse of Buddy Buddy Temple"

The Eggmobile is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is a one-person, multi-purpose hovercraft used by Dr. Eggman as his personal transportation and attack vehicle. The Eggmobile is fitted with a wide array of weapons and serves as well as the cockpit for larger machines and an escape pod when they are defeated by Sonic the Hedgehog and/or his allies. Of all his equipment, Dr. Eggman is especially fond of the Eggmobile, referring to it as his "baby".

Appearance
The Eggmobile is a primarily white spherical pod, designed to carry a single person. It has no seat or back frame. The bottom of the pod is black and on each side it has a glowing orange stripe and a backward-facing engine with a vent on the front. The front has three blue LED bulbs inside a circle for headlights and a pair of smaller turrets. The control panel is placed on the front with a pair of handles for steering and several instruments. Additionally, it can be equipped with two sidecarts for Orbot and Cubot.

After the incident with Lyric, the Eggmobile was given a pink windshield with black tints along the sides.

Features and abilities
As mentioned earlier, the Eggmobile is able to hover in the air and can move at incredible speeds with great maneuverability, matching that of Team Sonic's superspeed running and the Tornado. It has a highly modular design, able to utilize a wide array of weapon and gadget attachments. This include missiles powerful enough to blow up roads, cannonballs, twin laser turrets that can blow up small houses, a concussive beam cannon on the front, a storage compartment on the bottom, and a tether made with a higher technology that emits an "attraction ray" for picking up objects.

The Eggmobile can also act as a command module for Eggman's larger machines, such as his Eggman Mech and Big Boy. In the chase of the Eggman Mech, when it is inevitably defeated, the Eggmobile then serves as an escape pod, allowing the pilot to eject mostly unharmed from the larger machine. Though, in terms of structural integrity, the Eggmobile is not completely reliable as a series of pummeling from Team Sonic left it so damage that a single misplaced hit could disable it.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
When Dr. Eggman was having his plans foiled by Team Sonic, he fled using his Eggmobile while leading the heroes to Lyric's Tomb to set them on the path to releasing Lyric the Last Ancient. After Lyric was freed, Eggman faced him in his Eggmobile to make him hand over his technological secrets with Lyric's Destruction Troops. However, Lyric retook control of his robots, forcing Eggman to make an uneasy partnership with him, where he would use his Eggmobile to pursue Team Sonic and try to stop them from getting the Chaos Crystals. After Lyric dissolved their partnership by making Metal Sonic attack Eggman and his Eggmobile, Eggman used his Eggmobile as the control module for his Eggman Mech to dispose of Lyric, but then had to use it as an escape vehicle when Team Sonic disabled the mech. In Team Sonic's final battle with Lyric, Eggman and his Eggmobile-controlled Eggman Mech saved the team from Lyric, though the Eggmobile and the mech reached their limit from the effort and collapsed.

TV series
On a normal day of battling with Sonic, Eggman tried escaping him in his Eggmobile until they arrived at a mine where Eggman sicced Burnbot at Sonic. When Burnbot was defeated, Eggman used his Eggmobile to haul Burnbot back home. Later, as Eggman participated in Sonic's sidekick try-outs to get rid of his enemies, he raced in his Eggmobile against Tails and the Tornado, where he used it to pull in Burnbot who made Tails crash, but after Sonic arrived and helped beat Burnbot, Eggman departed in his Eggmobile, promising revenge. When Obliterator Bot went rampant and trashed his island fortress, Eggman used his Eggmobile to follow Team Sonic to the fortress after convincing them to help.

When Tails was turned evil by an Evil Cookie, he used an Eggmobile for his size to attack Sonic. He abandoned this vehicle after he was returned to normal. The Eggmobile was later put on sale by Orbot and Cubot to earn money for Eggman's jail bail. However, their customer, T.W. Barker, stole the Eggmobile when he tricked Orbot and Cubot to let him take it out for a test drive, though Eggman eventually reacquired it. Later, Eggman used, the Eggmobile to announce the arrival of Cowbot to Team Sonic before returning home.

The Eggmobile was used again by Eggman for an invasion of Bygone Island by attacking the village with its weapons, but had to flee in it after Knuckles incidentally destroyed his Mega. Following an encounter with a body-swapping meteor, Sonic, after switching bodies with Eggman, used the Eggmobile to get around while in Eggman's body, which was too hard to run with. In his ensuring battles with Team Sonic, Eggman would use the Eggmobile to either depart after defeat, personally battle Sonic, or just survey the battlefield.

While caught in a time loop, the Eggmobile was used by Eggman to steal movies from the rental store for a plan to defeat Team Sonic (which eventually failed). Then, when Eggman discovered Rocky, he used the Eggmobile to bring a swarm of Bee Bots to capturing the giant, only to retreat when Sonic tricked the Bee Bots to attack him. The Eggmobile was later used by Eggman to fight Sonic, their battle eventually taking them into Buddy Buddy Temple where the Eggmobile was disabled when they fell through a collapsing floor. With Sonic and Eggman helping each other escape, the Eggmobile was used to help open a lid which unintentionally dragged them further into the temple where the Eggmobile was swallowed by a lava pit trap, though Eggman eventually rebuilt it.

When Nominatus took control of Eggman's systems, the doctor fled from a horde of Bee Bots in the Eggmobile to Team Sonic for protection, and later to return home with his lackeys once Nominatus was destroyed. The Eggmobile later participated another battle with Sonic where it was destroyed, though Eggman had a new one ready the next day, which he attacked Sonic with after he ruined his snack. However it too was damaged in the ensuring battle, though Eggman managed to use it for a last, but fruitless attack. During an attempt to destroy Team Sonic with help from the Eggmobile, Eggman got bested because the team used his tech against him. Eggman thus deserted technology, except his Eggmobile which he had Orbot and Cubot drag around, though he later used it normally to join Team Sonic in stopping the Lightning Bolt Society when they shut down his lackeys.

Archie Comics
Following the creation of the Big Boy, Eggman used the Eggmobile as the mech's command module to battle Team Sonic twice. Each time through, the mech was defeated and heavily damaged, and when Eggman tried to deploy it again after its repairs, it and the Eggmobile fell apart due to Orbot and Cubot. When Eggman deployed the Big Boy for a fourth time, both the mech and the Eggmobile practically fell apart after Sticks used the Rock of Justice on them, leaving the doctor and his lackeys with nothing but the floating remains of the Eggmobile to escape on. He eventually repaired the Eggmobile which he used to escape Team Sonic after distracting them with his robots.
