E-101 Beta (ベータ) is a silver and black bipedal robot that was created for the E-100 army by Doctor Eggman. He has two guided missile-launchers on his arms.
Eggman defined Beta as E-102 Gamma's "big brother", and decided to pit Beta and Gamma against each other to determine which robot would be fit to serve under him on the Egg Carrier. Gamma ultimately goes on to defeat Beta and his design is cloned for the remaining Egg Carrier crew - Delta, Epsilon and Zeta.
The obsolete Beta was relegated to the storage area to be used as "spare parts". Unhappy with his incompetent design, Eggman begins work on remodelling him into E-101mkII (E-101改). The parts left over from Beta's remodeling were apparently used on E-103 Delta.
[edit] E-101mkII
Beta underwent extreme reconstruction into a highly advanced "Mark II (mkII)" model, an airborne fighter with improved weapon capabilities, including advanced homing missiles, laser cannon arms, and large spiked gauntlets used for bludgeoning "charge" attacks. Beta mkII navigated with a tail "rudder" and employed an advanced tracking system in his single green "eye". Its improved capabilities included the ability to create a rainbow-colored energy shield, fire a spread of several (ranging from 2 to 10) homing missiles, and fire powerful yellow energy blasts from great distances. It could also simply bat away missiles with its arms.
Gamma and the "new" Beta faced off once again aboard the downed Egg Carrier as part of the former's crusade to "rescue" his brothers from Eggman's control. Beta, despite improvements, was defeated. However, with the last of his power, Beta suddenly blasted Gamma at point-blank range, destroying his brother and ironically completing E-102's mission by freeing the animal trapped within him.
[edit] Trivia
- Beta is mentioned in Sonic Heroes, when Team Dark gets an E -Rank Omega would occasionally say "I couldn't even beat Gamma or Beta."
[edit] Miscellaneous
E-101 Beta can become a playable character in Sonic Adventure DX. But the only way to play him is to hack the game. Beta can only be played in version one, not version two or three.
