The Cloud Burster[1] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog television series. It was a blimp-like vehicle made by Dr. Robotnik to poison Mobius's atmosphere with chemicals.

Description[]

Appearance[]

Cloudburster

The Cloud Burster on the ground.

The Cloud Burster is a navy blue aircraft designed like an oblong blimp/airship. It has a dirty yellow jet engine and two tailfins on the rear and a cockpit with five green windows on the front. On the bottom of the Cloud Burster are also three holes from which chemicals come out of.

Features and traits[]

The Cloud Burster can fly and can create acid rain by releasing green acid chemicals from pipes on its bottom into the atmosphere. It also houses Robotnik's hovercraft for emergency escapes.[1]

History[]

TV series[]

Season one[]

One day, Dr. Robotnik ordered Snively to deliver the Cloud Burster to the Island of Nimbus, where Swat-Bots were supposed to load chemicals onto it. These chemicals were then to be sprayed into the atmosphere by the Cloud Burster to create dangerous acid rain. While taking the Cloud Burster to the Island of Nimbus, its convoy had to stop when strange smoke appeared on the road. Snively thus sent Swat-Bots out to investigate the situation. In the meantime, Sally, Bunnie and Antoine approached Cloud Burster in Swat-Bot disguises. Sally soon after broke in and tried to sabotage the Cloud Burster with Nicole. However, Antoine would accidently fall over and drop his Swat-Bot disguise in front of real Swat-Bots, thus exposing himself and Bunnie. Not long after, Sally was arrested as well. The Swat-Bots subsequently brought their prisoners to Snively, who decided to take them to the Island of Nimbus, where Dr. Robotnik was waiting. Meanwhile, Sonic would follow the trail from the Cloud Burster's convoy. On the Island of Nimbus, the Swat-bots loaded chemicals into the Cloud Burster. Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik and Snively left Sally, Bunnie and Antoine imprisoned in a cage to lure out Sonic.[1]

Sonic's Nightmare 178

When Sonic finally appeared, the Cloud Burster had already taken off. From the Cloud Burster, Robotnik ordered a fireball to be fired at Sonic, but the hedgehog escaped it by hiding in water. As Swat-Bots then surrounded Sonic, Robotnik directed the Cloud Burster to the place where they were to start spraying its chemicals. By the time Sonic found his friends, the Cloud Burster had already begun spraying chemicals into the atmosphere. However, Sonic soon came up with an idea on how to destroy Cloud Burster. Burrowing underground, Sonic found and started an old oil pump. After a while, oil from one of the chimneys on the Island of Nimbus began to sprout out. This oil sprout hit the Cloud Burster, flooding it to the point of malfunction. As such, Robotnik and Snively retreated to Robotnik's hovercraft and left the Cloud Burster, which soon after crashed and exploded.[1]
