SCR-HD



SCR-HD was a robot produced by MeteoTech who appeared in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, and essentially the main antagonist of the game. It contained an Ark of the Cosmos until it spontaneously exploded, and was taken by Storm. SCR-HD was the leader of the more common, mass-produced SCR-GP, and used its own Ark of the Cosmos, as well as the one in Eggman's master computer, to command all the MeteoTech robots.

SCR-HD was first encountered by Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles while they were making their way to Megalo Station. It, as well as several SCR-GP, pursued Sonic and co. until they fell from a window. While falling, Sonic unintentionally activated his Ark of the Cosmos and was saved from the fall. SCR-HD, as well as 6 SCR-GP raced Sonic through Megalo Station, and were defeated.

Its next appearance was when it attacked Storm and Amy in Aquatic Capital/Tempest Waterway. However, before it could fight them, it mysteriously exploded, and its Ark of the Cosmos was taken by Storm.

It appeared again in the Security Hall where it broke in after the race and stole all 5 Arks of the Cosmos from Wave. It then flew away to the Babylon Garden, which was transformed into Astral Babylon by the 5 Arks. SCR-HD then transformed into Master Core: ABIS, and battled everyone on the Mobius Strip. It was defeated, and fell into a black hole, where it was presumably destroyed.

SCR-HD is unlockable in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity by beating it in Free Race Mode. It, like SCR-GP, doesn't ride an Extreme Gear, and simply curls itself into a wheel. Because only one is seen in the story, it is unknown if it is mass produced like the SCR-GP.

Gameplay
In Gameplay SCR-HD is an Air Ride type. He functions as the only permanent Air Ride type, in a similar way to how Eggman is a permanent Power type from riding bikes. They are different however as SCR-HD does not ride an Extreme Gear whereas Eggman has to ride one. Just like the rest of the playable characters in the game, SCR-HD can perform Gravity Control and Gravity Dive.

Trivia

 * SCR-HD is vaguely reminiscent of Neo Metal Sonic in that it is a robot that got away with mass scale theft to fulfill a higher goal (although SCR-HD seems to be merely a pawn to the Arks of the Cosmos compared to Metal's bloodthirsty motives), and ultimately transformed into a monstrous, all powerful flying creature rooted to a large object (Metal Overlord to a tower, Master Core: ABIS to the black hole's core.)
 * Just like his weaker counterparts, SCR-HD has what appears to be a sword, specifically a katana, that he pulls out when he obtans the "attack" power-up. However, SCR-HD holds it differently.
 * Like his weaker counterparts, SCR-HD has many similarities and is possibly based off of a Droideka from the Star Wars series.
 * Before fighting Storm and Amy, SCR-HD spontaneously combusted.
