The Blue Typhoon (ブルータイフーン号 Burū Taifūn-gō?) is a vessel that appears in the anime series Sonic X. It is a large blue starship made by Tails. The Blue Typhoon was created mainly for space-travel when the team had to go with Cosmo into outer-space to stop the Metarex and their malicious schemes.

Description[]

The Blue Typhoon features a large hangar where several aircrafts are kept. Directly in front of this is a runway with palm trees lining it, modeled after the Thorndyke Mansion's driveway. The vessel is armed with laser cannons, missile launchers, and its main weapon, the Sonic Power Cannon, 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, the Warp Field Driver, which takes up much of the vessel, allows it to travel at faster-than-light speeds.

Specifications[]

  • Length: 300 m[1]
  • Weight: 322.141 t[1]

History[]

Anime[]

Metarex Saga[]

Built by Tails originally 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, Sonic and the others decided to use the Master Emerald instead despite initial objections from Knuckles. The Metarex learn of this and they send a giant robot to attempt to destroy the ship. Sonic and Knuckles kept the robots company while Tails and Chris prepare to launch the ship. After a few close calls, the ship successfully launches into the air and demonstrated its Sonic Power Cannon for the first time, destroying the Metarex robot.

Trivia[]

  • The Blue Typhoon's palm tree-lined runway closely resembles the runway for the Tornado at Tails' Lab in Sonic Adventure.
  • In keeping with the many references to classic science fiction anime in Sonic X, the Blue Typhoon resembles battleships found in Space Battleship Yamato, especially the Andromeda. Its flight deck also resembles that of Macross' Battle 7, which launched VF-11 Thunderbolt III aircraft, much like the Blue Typhoon launches the X-Tornado.
    • The chute leading down to an aircraft's cockpit, the section of runway lifting up to hide thrust burns and the descending trees all reference the iconic take-off sequence of the Thunderbird 2 from Thunderbirds.
  • The Blue Typhoon's name is also used for one of the Sonic Speedster's alternate builds in LEGO Dimensions.
