The Egg Tank[1][note 1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, beetle-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance[]

With bodies in the shape of tanks, Egg Tanks are orange-red, beetle-like robots with black underbellies and four mechanical treads as "legs". The front treads in particular are small and long while the rear treads are large and tall. They also have a long cannon barrel for a nose and green eye-like sensors on their faces.

Overview[]

The Egg Tanks make their only appearance in Sonic Forces, where they appear exclusively in Mortar Canyon and Enemy Territory. In gameplay, they usually appear in groups and stand firmly in one spot, where they attack by firing a steady stream of straight-moving projectiles that can do damage when they impact the playable characters. However, the projectiles they fire can also be targeted (and destroyed) with the Homing Attack. Like most Badniks in the game, they can be easily destroyed with any standard attacks.

Since their projectiles are fired rapidly in straight lines, Egg Tanks often create "stepping stones" for the player to skip across using the Homing Attack.

Powers and abilities[]

Possessing large cannons for horns, the Egg Tanks are able to fire cannonball-sized bullets.

Notes[]

  1. While not listed in any instruction manuals or games, the internal files in Sonic Forces refer to this enemy as Egg Tank.
