History

Anime

Shadow Saga

A Flying Dog attacking Rouge the Bat.

Following Perfect Chaos' attack on Station Square, the Flying Dogs were constructed by GUN upon clearance from the President to combat the threat of Dr. Eggman. Much like the Hot Shots, the Flying Dogs' design was derived from the studies of the E-Series robots that the government had gotten a hold of.

A Flying Dog was sent by Howard Watcher to combat Rouge the Bat when she snuck into Prison Island to collect the Chaos Emeralds held in the local vaults. However, the mech was no match for her.

Egg Moon Saga

During the eclipse of the Egg Moon, as Sonic the Hedgehog was on his way to destroy the mirrors towers powering the Sunshine Balls, a Flying Dog was deployed alongside several military fighters troops to stop him. When Sonic arrived, the Flying Dog fired a swarm of missiles at him, but Sonic evaded them one after another.

Homebound Saga

The Flying Dogs attacking Dr. Eggman in "Running Out of Time"

Seeing it is futile to leave the control to the President to take on Eggman, the leader of Prison Island sent troops of GUN robots, including the Flying Dogs, to attack Dr. Eggman in a final bit to kill the doctor. Fortunately, Sonic appeared on the scene and helped the doctor to take care of some of the troops, until the scientist had the time to get to his Grand Egg Imperial.
