The Land Breaker[2] (ランドブレーカー[3] Rando Burēkā?) is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is Knuckles the Echidna's personal vehicle for racing competitions.

Description[]

In Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, the Land Breaker is an average quad bike that bears similarities with Knuckles himself. The main part of its body looks like Knuckles, with the headlights looking slightly angry, and has handlebars behind its "'head". The front looks like a general ATV but has a part of its back yellow. It also has a seat. Since the bike is themed after Knuckles, the wheels are themed after his gloves, while the inside part is yellow while its front is attached to green shocks. The front wheels look like his gloves, as they have two spikes. The back wheels only have a single spike covered by a few plates of metal which resemble the buckles on his shoes. The back of the bike has two protrusions that resemble his dreadlocks with yellow on the bottoms that work as headlights.

In Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, the Land Breaker has three distinct appearances that depend on its mode:

  • Car mode: In comparison to its original appearance, the Land Breaker's land form has been drastically redesigned to be a three-wheeler vehicle. Its front two wheels are covered in guards, topped with spiked white segments resembling Knuckles' own fists. The back wheel is flanked by a long exhaust pipe on each side. Its new overall shape resembles Knuckles himself, especially while gliding.
  • Plane mode: In its plane form, the Land Breaker's wheels turn horizontal, and the back wheel splits into two likewise horizontal rings, which keep the vehicle afloat and swivel to allow the vehicle to turn.
  • Boat mode: In its boat form, the Land Breaker becomes a hovercraft, its two front wheels replaced with hydrofoils, each with white spikes resembling Knuckles' gloves, and with two large fan propellers attached to the back.

In Team Sonic Racing the Land Breaker's default form was drastically redesigned again. Most notably, the vehicle has been scaled up to resemble a full-sized automobile rather than a quad bike, given it has gained a normalized steering wheel as well (colored yellow and shaped in a obtuse butterfly-style with a rather small cut-off gap at the top and bottom). It also became more flat and its red coloring has been replaced with silver in some areas. It has regained its four wheels, silver spikes on the fenders, and yellow and green accents. Like other cars in Team Sonic Racing, its appearance can be customized with different paint jobs, Performance Parts and decals. Its horn can also be changed.

The Land Breaker's base stats in Team Sonic Racing.

In Team Sonic Racing, the Land Breaker appears as Knuckles's race car, specially created by Dodon Pa for Knuckles. During the events of the game, the Land Breaker was one of the cars Dodon Pa gave Knuckles and his friends so they could compete in his Grand Prix competition. Knuckles would afterward use it during the races and challenges he participated in. However, the Land Breaker was eventually destroyed when the heroes had to leave it aboard the crashing Final Fortress. Fortunately, Dodon Pa promised to replace it with a new one.

Older versions of the Land Breaker were often built with a more balanced and/or well-rounded stat spread in mind. In this game however, this base version of the Land Breaker is built instead with high defense and boost with moderate top speed, yet on the flipside possesses poor handling and acceleration (this base stat setup is shared directly with the base stat setup of Vector's Beat Monster). However, its statistics, as well as its artistic design, can be modified by replacing its parts.

The Land Breaker has the following exclusive Performance Parts that can be used to modify it:
