The Communicators[1] are objects that appear in the Sonic Boom franchise. They are smartwatches created by Tails with technology derived from the Ancients' Enerbeam devices,[2] and are used by the majority of Team Sonic's members during missions and in daily life.

Description[]

Appearance[]

Each Communicator resembles a wristwatch and features its own unique design:

Features and traits[]

The Communicators are essentially mobile devices, all capable of a variety of functions. Their primary function is radio communication (equipped with alarms) between each other, allowing Team Sonic's members to stay in contact. They can as well connect to other communication devices, like Tails' headset, walkie-talkies, and regular telephones.[3][4][5][6] If another Communicator is being used when contact is made though, they make a busy signal.[7] Their signal range is very wide, extending far into space.[8] However, their signal is vulnerable to magnetic interference and cannot move through the ground.[8][9]

In addition to being waterproof,[10] the Communicators can interface wirelessly with different machines and gadgets, such as the Luminous Suits and Sonic's Mech Suit, allowing them to operate such devices remotely.[10][11][12] The Communicators can as well hook up to the internet and run mobile applications.[7] Tails' Communicator in particular has shown capabilities akin to a multi-functional computer, being capable of conducting analyses, upgrading the Communicators' shared systems, and hacking programs.[9][13] Other features these devices have include a clock,[14] holo-displays,[15] a text message application,[16] and Enerbeam generators.[17] The Communicators also come with their own tracking devices.[18]

After absorbing the Fire and Ice energy from a fissure, the Communicator allowed their wearers to utilize Fire Mode and Ice Mode.[13]

History[]

Games[]

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric[]

Communicators Rise of Lyric

Team Sonic with their Communicators.

In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Tails made the Communicators by replicating the Ancients' Enerbeam bracelets, but made them into things that were even more useful.[2] Shortly after Lyric the Last Ancient's defeat, Team Sonic would wear them during their celebration in the Village.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice[]

PowerUpCommunicator

Sonic's Communicator infused with Fire energy.

In Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, Team Sonic would utilize their Communicators during their mission to undo Dr. Eggman's environmental damage. Early on, Sonic and Amy's Communicators absorbed the Fire and Ice energy from a fissure, granting their wearers incredible powers. Tails later updated the Communicators so their whole team could tap into these powers too. Along the way, Tails would also keep tabs on his research findings using his own Communicator.

TV series[]

SB S2E20 Roger

Team Sonic using their Communicators.

During their adventures, Team Sonic would use their Communicators for several purposes. This has included mission-related activities, everyday communication, timekeeping, and casual daywear.[3][4][5][14][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]

One time, Sonic's Communicator got sabotaged by Eggman's Tomato Sauce cans who had infiltrated the Village.[1][16] When FriendBot later became a part of Team Sonic, he was given his own Communicator so the team could reach him whenever they needed him.[28]

Archie Comics[]

Communicator Enerbeams

Sonic would wear his Communicator, but never used it for much.[29] During the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix though, Knuckles and Amy used their Communicators to form an Enerbeam safety net for Sonic.[17]
