Mega


 * For the robot based on this one, see Giant Robot.

The Mega is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It was a robot created by Dr. Eggman which had been used against Team Sonic and as a part of the doctor's evil schemes several times.

Appearance
The Mega resembles a cross between a tank and Cyclops. In terms of size, the Mega is seven percent larger than Eggman's other robots. It has a black upper torso with broad and round yellow shoulders which have short spikes on them. It has has thick grey arms with yellow and black hazard stripes and four-fingered hands. Its lower body consists of a red pelvis with grey tracks for legs, and yellow and black hazard stripes on the front. On its back it has an exhaust pipe and large vent-like tubes next to the shoulders. For head it has a thick yellow neck with a single red eye containing a slit-like pupil.

Season one
The Mega was first called out by Dr. Eggman to battle Team Sonic when they invaded his lair. The Mega effortlessly beat back Team Sonic, but when it deployed its photon bombs against them, Sticks and Knuckles spiked one of them into the Mega's eye causing it to explode and fall into the ocean.

The Mega was later rebuilt by Eggman as a powerful, but untested prototype. Despite the risks involved, the Mega was used by Eggman for an invasion of Seaside Island. However, before it could do more damage, the Mega suddenly destroyed itself due to a malfunction triggered by Knuckles, who was experiencing a case of bad luck, when he joined Eggman. The Mega was later rebuilt and deployed again, this time by Sonic, who had switched bodies with Eggman, to battle Eggman until they switched back.

Season two
Getting fed up with Eggman's callous treatment, the Mega joined Orbot and Cubot's strike action while also scorning Eggman's replacement lackeys. As it was about to give up though, Eggman cracked and agreed to treat it better (but still without respect).

Personality
Completely silent, the Mega is usually single-minded, merciless in battle and unquestioningly dedicated to Dr. Eggman's orders. Despite its machine-like demeanor though, the Mega does possess free will and emotional capabilities, allowing it to make its own choices and express things like dislikes. However, it is weak-willed and depends on Eggman to avoid being sent to the scrapheap, meaning it cannot act independently for long before coming groveling back to the doctor.

As per its programming, the Mega will only obey orders after being threatened.

Powers and abilities
The Mega is a very durable robot, remaining unflinched by Sonic, Knuckles and Sticks' stanard full-frontal assaults. Thanks to is size, the Mega is incredibly strong, capable of creating minor tremors by punching and toppling trees. It can even sent Sticks flying with a flick of its finger. It is also capable of flight.

The Mega is equipped with two different armaments. Its chest contains photon bombs which can track down opponents and explode with a powerful burst and it has hand grenades it can throw and ignite manually.
