The Cross Dozer[2] (クロスドーザー Kurosu Dōzã?) is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is E-123 Omega's personal racing car, specially created by Dodon Pa for Omega to let him participate in his first and second Grand Prix competition.
Description[]
The original Cross Dozer, from Team Sonic Racing.
Personalized specifically for Omega, the default Cross Dozer is very angular in shape, much like Omega's own body design, and predominantly black with accentuations in red. The seat has a yellow rim and a red front with two green lines. The wheels are like tank treads and have yellow casings, with each one of them bearing an omega symbol. The Cross Dozer also possesses red handlebars (like the ones on Omega's shoulders) on the front and hind "legs" as well as the main body. It also has two green headlights with red covers.
Like other cars in Team Sonic Racing, its appearance can be customized with different paint jobs, Performance Parts and decals. Its horn can also be changed.

Team Sonic Racing[]
The Cross Dozer's base stats in Team Sonic Racing.
In Team Sonic Racing, the Cross Dozer appears as Omega's race car, specially created by Dodon Pa for Omega. During the events of the game, the Cross Dozer was one of the cars Dodon Pa gave Omega and his allies so they could compete in his Grand Prix competition. Omega would afterward use it during the races and challenges he participated in. However, the Cross Dozer was eventually destroyed when the heroes had to leave it aboard the crashing Final Fortress. Fortunately, Dodon Pa promised to replace it with a new one.
In this game, the Cross Dozer's basic statistics offer high boost and solid defense, alongside moderate top speed, albeit its handling and acceleration stats are notably quite low. However, its statistics, as well as its artistic design, can be modified by replacing its parts.

Other game appearances[]
Sonic Racing[]
In Sonic Racing, the Cross Dozer appears as the vehicle for Omega.
Trivia[]
- As shown in Team Sonic Racing Overdrive, in-game and the one-shot comic, due to Omega's size, his hands are always far out in front of him, and are never seen holding a steering wheel of any kind (though in-game he still moves as if he is holding a steering wheel). This makes it physically impossible for him to drive his car.
- The Cross Dozer's name is most likely a reference to a bulldozer which gets its name from the word bulldoze meaning to destroy structures, to push through forcefully or intimidate someone.[3] The "Cross" part of the name likely refers to a Cross Country Vehicle which is used for off-roading.
