The Extreme Gear are objects that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. They are airborne vehicles designed for speed and versatility. They are popular with various factions, from the Freedom Fighters to members of the Egg Army.

History[]

Past[]

Sometime in the not-too-distant past, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles utilized Extreme Gear to compete in a number of races, and contend with a number of other groups, including Team Dark, Team Rose, and, most commonly, the Babylon Rogues.[1][2][3]

Countdown to Chaos[]

Note: From the readers' point of view, this picks up from where the Extreme Gear's original timeline ended.

After the remains of the Egg-Wily Machine X crashed in the Efrika Plains,[4] Dr. Eggman encountered the Efrika Egg Army, whose members included some Extreme Gear riders.[5]

Shattered World Crisis[]

Act One[]

When professors Dillon Pickle and Charles the Hedgehog had been kidnapped by Dr. Eggman's forces,[6] the Freedom Fighters used Extreme Gear to pursue the train the professors had been placed in at Soleanna Forest Zone,[7] and would use the Gear again to depart after succeeding in their mission.[8] Antoine D'Coolette in particular used an Extreme Gear to travel to Harbor Heights alongside Bunnie while on the hunt for a Chaos Emerald.[9] Later, at Sand Hill Zone, after a botched attempt at retrieving the blue Chaos Emerald, Team Fighters (which, at the time, consisted of Tails, Amy, and Rotor) came to Team Freedom's ( which consisted of Sally, Antoine, and Bunnie) aid via Extreme Gear.[10]

Worlds Unite[]

When Sigma had begun targeting multiple worlds in his bid for complete domination over the multiverse, those of the Unified Army incapable of achieving flight on their own used Extreme Gear to travel to these worlds, recruit their heroes, and return to the Unified World.[11][12][13]

Act Two[]

Extreme Gear would continue to serve as one of the Freedom Fighters' primary means of transportation, with Sally using one to travel from Thunder Plains Zone, to Stone Stormlands Zone,[14][15] and back to the Sky Patrol.[16] She again used a Gear to travel to and depart Spagonia alongside Rotor.[17]

During a mission to rescue Chip from Dr. Eggman, Sonic made his way to the Gaia Colossus via an Extreme Gear.[18]
