The Blunt Force is an enemy that appears in Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal. They are a model of Destruction Troops created by Lyric the Last Ancient.
Appearance
The Blunt Forces look like three-legged rhinoceroses. They have thick orange armor, grey and green joints, and a large torso with front legs resembling the human arms and a single inverted hind leg. Each limb has a foot for support. It also has a large brown eye with a slit-like pupil and green sclera for a head, which is covered in armor resembling the snout of a rhinoceros, complete with a nose horn and three spikes.
Overview
The Blunt Forces were created in the Robot Facility by Lyric the Last Ancient five millennia ago to help him destroy the earth's lifeforms and conquer it.[1] During an attack on the remaining Ancients however, the Blunt Forces were shut down when Lyric was imprisoned.[1][2] In the present, they were recovered by Lyric after he got free to search for the Crystal Shards as well.
The Blunt Forces are only encountered in Robot Facility. In gameplay, they walk around until they spot the characters, upon where they will try to ram into them. Sometimes, they are equipped with purple shields that protect them from harm, but can be removed with the Enerbeam. Blunt Forces also take two hits to be destroyed by common attacks, as the first hit will only remove their armor. Even then, the Blunt Forces are only destroyed for a short while; eventually new ones will respawn to take their place. Additionally, the fourth Toy the player purchases from Q-N-C's Toy Shop will be a Blunt Force figurine.
After Team Sonic and Shadow defeated Lyric, the Blunt Forces were stopped once more.
Personality
The Blunt Forces are essentially mindless and silent drones unwaveringly loyal to Lyric the Last Ancient, having been programmed to obey his every command.[1] Otherwise, they are quite wild and brutal, always attacking with full force.
Powers and abilities
The Blunt Forces possess a deadly horn on their head which they can use for offense. They are also quite physically strong, capable of inflicting long-lasting damage, and have extra layers of armor for enhanced durability.
