The Egg-Tortoise[1] is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was a mech used by Dr. Eggman during the Iron Dominion Takeover.

Description[]

Appearance[]

As the name states, Egg Tortoise is a giant, robotic turtle. It has the primary colors of a regular turtle (green skin, brown shell, with the inside of the shell being yellow). It has three claws on each foot and a cockpit built into top of its shell.[2]

Features and abilities[]

The Egg-Tortoise is heavily armed with missiles, cannons, and a powerful mouth strong enough to uproot large trees.[2]

History[]

Iron Dominion Takeover[]

Srtdr

The Egg-Tortoise on a rampage, from Sonic the Hedgehog #205.

The Egg-Tortoise was used by Dr. Eggman to escape the Iron Dominion-controlled Eggdome, scaring away the opposing Dark Egg Legion and Yagyu Clan and going off in search of Sonic, with the intention of destroying him. Upon finding Sonic, Eggman opened fire on him, but to no avail. With Eggman's attention focused solely on Sonic, Tails was able to sneak under it and short out the mech via the access panel on the bottom, rendering it obsolete.[2]

Scrambled[]

At some point, the Egg-Tortoise would either be recovered or rebuilt, and moved to the hangar bay of the Death Egg Mark 2. Orbot and Cubot would later consider deploying the Egg-Tortoise from the Egg 'Stache Flyer to assist Eggman against the Iron Oni, but ultimately decided against it.[3][4]
