Egg Bombers are small, crab-like robots that can scurry both horizontal and vertical surfaces. They have light armor, so they be destroyed with a single strike. Egg Bombers have an appendage built specifically for throwing bombs at targets. They can only release one bomb at a time, and require a few seconds to reload.
The Egg Bomber is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, crab-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman, with them also being the precursor of other more advanced crab-based Badniks such as the Egg Sweeper and Egg Armor.
The Egg Bombers are based on the appearance of a crab. Having four legs with a giant pincer in the front of its head (similar to a large horn), the Egg Bombers are mostly colored copper with white-colored screw-heads around it. Its pincer is colored gray and it has amber eyes. Its bombs are colored red with an orange glowing light circling their middle.
Game appearances[]
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)[]
The Egg Bombers make their first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), where they are encountered in Dusty Desert, Tropical Jungle, Radical Train, and Kingdom Valley. Being more of a defensive Badnik, Egg Bombers will either be encased in their sphere-forms or will be in their crab-like form, waiting for their target to arrive. During the several seconds they take to reload, the Egg Bombers are briefly open to attacks. It takes approximately one attack to destroy an Egg Bomber while in its crab-like form, but while in sphere-form, it takes a couple attacks to destroy due to its increased defenses.
Sonic Rivals 2[]
In Sonic Rivals 2, the Egg Bomber appears on a collectible card:
The Egg Bomber robots are excellent climbers, easily moving on horizontal and vertical surfaces, quite similar to an actual crab. They possess a weak shell, however, being easier to destroy than its successors. For armaments, they can launch bombs at their opponents.
When a target arrives, the Egg Bomber robots will throw out miniature bombs at their target with a several-second-long interval between each shot.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, the Egg Bombers are referred to as Egg Mites.[2] In this media, there are two models. The worker drones maintaining the interior of the Death Egg Mark 2 while an assault version can be used to overwhelm targets. Their limbs close into an egg-shape for easy storage or deployment.
