Egg Stingers are upgraded Egg Gunners; they're coated with red paint for easy distinction on the battlefield. Each Stinger is equipped with a cannon on its right arm that fires homing rockets while packing the standard Egg Gunner's vulcan cannon on the left arm. Egg Stingers have little armor, which allows for fast mobility via the back-mounted propulsion systems. The mechs move quickly, zipping around the battlefield so that their attacker can't get a bead on them.

— Description, Sonic the Hedgehog: Official Game Guide

The Egg Stinger is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman, as well as a variant of the Egg Gunner. The Egg Stingers were used by Dr. Eggman during the aborted Soleanna incident.

Overview

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

Egg Stingers make their first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), appearing as enemies in Dusty Desert, White Acropolis, Radical Train, Tropical Jungle, Kingdom Valley, and Aquatic Base. 3 Egg Stingers attempt to stop Shadow and Rouge from leaving with the Scepter of Darkness.

Shadow Generations

Egg Stingers are set to reappear in Shadow Generations, appearing in Kingdom Valley just like their debut.

Powers and abilities

A variant of the more common Egg Gunner robot, painted red instead of white, the Egg Stinger model trades the Gunner's arm-mounted missile launcher for a homing missile launcher. They have the ability to hover with jet-boosters installed in their legs and have the same light armor as the Egg Gunners, being destroyed with a single attack.

Trivia

• The Egg Stinger's main weapon (also referred to as a Stinger) is very similar to the weapons of E-104 Epsilon.
