— The Heavy Dog, Shadow the Hedgehog

Mantis Platoon HD1/Heavy Dog (ヘビードッグ, Hebī Doggu^?) is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a giant battle mech operated by the Mantis Platoon of the Guardian Units of Nations, being the model for the Blue Falcon to be based on fifty years later.

Description

Appearance

The Heavy Dog is a large dark gray and orange disk-like machine, adorned with blue lights and various symbols. Yellow lights can be seen on the bottom of it.

History

Shadow the Hedgehog

In Shadow the Hedgehog, the Heavy Dog was used by a GUN Soldier in an attempt to stop Shadow the Hedgehog from harming anyone fifty years prior to the events seen in Sonic Adventure 2, when Project Shadow was discontinued. In the flashback of this time, Shadow saw Maria die at the hands of the Heavy Dog's pilot. It wields a particle beam cannon and several weapons on its side which can be broken off and used against it. Shadow ultimately destroyed the mech, presumably by damaging the vessel's fuselage due to the pilot's last words.

Battle

Heavy Dog
Heavy Dog in The Doom, from Shadow the Hedgehog.
Overview
Game	Shadow the Hedgehog
Level	The Doom (Dark)

Heavy Dog is the boss fought after completing the Dark mission of The Doom in Shadow the Hedgehog. The guide for this battle is Doom's Eye.

Boss guide

This vehicle is fought on a metal platform with raised platforms; these can be used to avoid the particle beam cannon, however the cannon can also reach this area. The Heavy Dog releases explosives that can be used as stepping stones to attack or disable a cannon that fires the same missile as an RPG. If the machine's RPGs are attacked enough, they will fall off for the player to use.
