Antlion Mecha

'Mecha Ant' is the first boss of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit). It is a robotic bug with giant mandibles. It is fought in the Under Ground Zone. Its intro is unusual: as Sonic jumps the final spring, he WILL fall into the lava. Then Eggman sends him to a steep valley so that Sonic will be killed by Mecha Ant's jaws

Mecha Ant just moves its jaws while Eggman drops cannonballs to finish off Sonic as he avoids the Ant's jaws. All sonic has to do is avoid the cannonballs. The cannonballs damage the Mecha Ant and its jaws move faster. As Mecha Ant's jaws move super fast, Eggman charges at Sonic. If he avoided THAT, the Eggmobile gets crushed by Mecha Ant. The chain reaction also killed Mecha Ant and not the Eggmobile. As Eggman runs away, Sonic leaves the valley and finds the Egg Capsule.
