— Description, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal

The Shocker is an enemy that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It is a mass-produced model of Destruction Troops created by Lyric the Last Ancient.

Appearance[]

The Shockers' body consists of a purple eye with a slit-like pupil and green sclera. Brown armor covers the majority of their eye, except for a small opening on the front. Additionally, they have noticeably thick plating on the lower front, a vertical horn and thin leaf-like wings on the sides.

Game appearances[]

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric[]

Shocker RoL

A Shocker, from Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.

In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, the Shockers were made by Lyric the Last Ancient about a millennium ago to aid with his plans to destroy the earth's lifeforms and conquer it. When Lyric was imprisoned before he achieved his goal, the Shockers were shut down.[1] However, as a contingency plan, Lyric left some of them behind to be found so the finders would set him free to learn the Shockers' secrets.[2] After Lyric escaped in the present day, he reactivated and/or reclaimed his Shockers to have them aid his schemes and battle Team Sonic..

The Shockers are one of the most frequent enemies encountered and usually appear in groups, acting as support for other enemies. They are encountered in Lyric's Tomb, Cliff's Excavation Site, Abandoned Research Facility, Lyric's Weapon Facility, Crater Lake, Ocean Purification Plant, Creeper Gorge, Sky Citadel and Lyric's Lair.

In gameplay, the Shockers move around erratically at high speed with jerky movements, and approaching them slowly only makes them fly away. When attacking, they stand still for a second and give off white ripples before firing three lasers at the playable character. To beat the Shockers, the player must use the Enerbeam to either throw them into walls or pull them down to the ground for a beatdown. However, they will fly away a few seconds after being released in the latter case. Otherwise, they can be destroyed with relatively few hits. When destroyed, the Shockers release a single Ring and a small amount of Robot Scrap.

After Team Sonic defeated Lyric, all the Shockers were subsequently scrapped.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal[]

In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, the Shockers were created in the Robot Facility by Lyric the Last Ancient five millennia ago to help him destroy the earth's lifeforms and conquer it.[1] During an attack on the remaining Ancients, however, the Shockers were shut down when Lyric was imprisoned.[1][3] In the present, they were recovered by Lyric after he got free, who used them to search for the Crystal Shards and battle Team Sonic.

RobotFacility

A Shocker in Robot Facility, from Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal.

The Shockers can only be encountered in Robot Facility. In gameplay, they fly aimlessly around within a certain area until they spot the playable character. They will then glow briefly before trying to charge into the characters, for then to retreat to their original position. Although the player can destroy a Shocker with a single attack however, a new one will soon after respawn to take its place. Additionally, the tenth Toy the player purchases from Q-N-C's Toy Shop will be a Shocker figurine.

After Team Sonic and Shadow defeated Lyric, the Shockers were stopped once more.

Personality[]

The Shockers are overall mindless and silent drones unwaveringly loyal to Lyric the Last Ancient, having been programmed to obey his every command.[1] That aside, the Shockers are noted to be very pesky, similar to a mosquito. Also, their loyalty is only superficial, as the Shockers are just soulless machines adhering to their programming, meaning their allegiance can easily shift when someone else takes control of them.

Powers and abilities[]

The Shockers are capable of flight using their wings and are very speedy and agile, similar to a fly. As offense, they can shoot green energy beams from their eye.

Retrieved on 25 July 2014. "As seen in the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U games, Lyric is the last of his kind from an ancient civilization who lived a millennium ago. His race was devoted to peacefully controlling the world's resources. Driven mad by power, Lyric turned on his fellow Ancients and took control of the resources. Building an army of robots programmed to obey his every command, the deadly snake-like villain set out to destroy everything organic and create a world of twisted metal and robots. However, just before he could successfully take over, he was attacked by the last surviving Ancients and imprisoned forever. With his army shut down and his plans ruined, he waited in prison plotting his revenge. Years passed and Lyric began to give up hope. That is, until Sonic comes across him. Now with his army rebooted, and his plans in place, the only thing stopping Lyric from total victory is Sonic and his friends."
