Blue Typhoon




 * Not to be confused with the Deep Typhoon from Sonic Rush Adventure.

The Blue Typhoon is a large blue starship made by Miles "Tails" Prower in the TV series, Sonic X. The Blue Typhoon was created mainly for space-travel when the team had to go with Cosmo into outer-space to defeat the Metarex.

Description
Originally built to battle vessels created by Doctor Eggman, the Blue Typhoon was adapted for space travel. Tails intended to power it with the Chaos Emeralds, but when they were scattered across the galaxy, he was forced to use the Master Emerald instead.

The Blue Typhoon features a large hangar where several aircraft are kept. Directly in front of this is a runway with palm trees lining it, modeled after the Thorndyke residence driveway. The vessel is heavily armed with laser cannons, missiles, and its main weapon being the Sonic Driver, (known as the "Sonic Power Cannon" in the 4Kids dub), which fires Sonic as an accelerated projectile. In Episode 77, it's shown that the cannon can also work as a wave motion gun. The Blue Typhoon also comes equipped with a powerful energy projector which can produce a deflector shield or a cloaking field. Its engine, which takes up much of the vessel, allows it to cover great distances in short periods of time, although it requires a "warp ring" (generated by the yellow nose section) to travel at faster-than-light speeds.

The Blue Typhoon's design may have been influenced by the ships from Space Battleship Yamato, especially the Andromeda from that series. While the Blue Typhoon's flight deck resemble the flight deck of Battle 7 from Macross 7, where the VF-11 Thunderbolt III (to which the X-Tornado resembles) are launched.
