History
Sonic Riders
The Type-W was first seen being used by Wave to battle Sonic the Hedgehog, along with Jet the Hawk and Storm the Albatross. Using their Extreme Gears, which were foreign technology to Sonic, Wave and her team were able to defeat Sonic in their first confrontation.[1] The next day, however, when the Babylon Rogues arrived to destroy Knothole, Wave was attacked by Sonic, Knuckles and Tails, who had required their own Extreme Gear. With his Extreme Gear, Tails was able to combat Wave on her Type-W and eventually drive off the Babylon Rogues with the aid of his friends.[2]
