The Egg Kaiser (Or sometimes known as the EggTank) is a large, hulking tank built by Dr. Eggman to stop Sonic the Hedgehog and is sucsessor to the Drill Buggy.
Appearance
The Egg Kaiser's chassis is ball-like, with the Eggman Emblem painted on the front. On each side of the Egg Kaiser are two heavy tank treads designed to go through all-terrain. Once the front of the Egg Kaiser opens it reveals a glass compartment in which Eggman operates (Which is also the weakpoint which Sonic must aim for) in and weapons such as Gatling Guns and Rocket Launchers.
History
After the Drill Buggy failed in Sonic 2 Dr. Eggman abandoned the project for creating a land-based vehicle to defeat Sonic. However, several years later during the events of Sonic: The Awakening he finds the old blueprints of the Egg Kaiser in which he began planning out. He continued planning the Egg Kaiser and began construction a week later. The original Egg Kaisers had to be put through several tests to prove that they had enough strength to defeat Sonic. Around 6 versions were made until a successful one was created, in which is used in the Green Hill zone by Eggman to defeat Sonic.
