Below it is a metallic platform with a wheelhouse in the back propellers on the lower rear.

Despite its size, the Eggman Flying Battery is extremely fast, capable of traveling at speeds that matches Sonic's own, who can run at supersonic speed. It is also possesses a series of dangerous armaments, like enormous laser cannons and spiked barrels to crush foes below. Additionally, it is loaded with several Egg Chaser and Egg Launchers for instant deployment.

History

Sonic Generations

The Eggman Flying Battery in Rooftop Run Act 2, from the console/PC version of Sonic Generations.

In the console/PC version of Sonic Generations, the Eggman Flying Battery can be encountered in both Acts of Rooftop Run where it will have an impact on the gameplay. In Act 1, it flies in the background of the stage until it arrives at the clock tower near the end of the Act where it will deploy enemies against the player. At the top of the tower, the player can make its dial smash into the vessel, allowing Classic Sonic to board it and reach the Goal Post from there, destroying the Eggman Flying Battery when leaving it.

In Act 2, the Eggman Flying Battery will appear in the middle of the Act to drop spiked barrels at Modern Sonic for a while before leaving. At the end of the Act, it will reappear with Egg Chasers as support to pursue the hedgehog while firing lasers him which cause damage upon touch. If the player can rid of the Egg Chasers and hit the blimp with enough Egg Fighters by boosting into them before it flies away, it will release a stream of Rings. Additionally, the battleship appears in the Endless Boost Challenge Act as an obstacle.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

The Eggman Flying Battery is set to make a cameo in the upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, flying in the background of Sky Road.

Trivia

• The Eggman Flying Battery and the Balloons are the only gimmicks in Rooftop Run that did not originally appear in Sonic Unleashed.
