Not to be confused with the Egg Bomber Tank, a boss in Sonic Advance 2.

Egg Bomber is a robot that appears in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). They are robots designed to throw miniature bombs at opponents, and they were created by Dr. Eggman. They served as one of Eggman's main robot groups during the events of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

The Egg Bomber is the precursor of more, advanced robots that were deployed in the duration of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006); the Egg Sweeper and Egg Armor robots were modeled after the Egg Bomber robots.

Official description

"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."[1]

Description

Appearance

The Egg Bombers were based from an 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 the middle of the bomb.

Behavior

Dr. Eggman had programmed Egg Bomber robots to attack any opposition forces that comes to their way, namely Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog and Silver the Hedgehog.

Powers and abilities

The Egg Bomber robots are excellent climbers, easily moving on horizontal and vertical surfaces, quite similar to an actual crab. They, however, possess a weaker shell, being easier to destroy than its later 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 several seconds interval between each shot.
