Snively's Beater is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was a power armor designed by Doctor Eggman and piloted by Snively Robotnik during the Destruction of Knothole in 3237.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Snively's beater appears to be a stripped-down version of his uncle's own Egg Beater, with it bearing a green and white paint scheme to imitate Snively's uniform as well as a long protruding cockpit modeled after his rather prominent nose.
Powers and abilities[]
Like the Egg Beater, Snively's Beater has the ability to fire teleportation beams, which send any hit by them to the Egg Grape Chamber. It also bears the ability to self-destruct its body and eject its cockpit, which doubles as an escape shuttle.
History[]
Eggman Empire[]
Per Eggman's orders, Snively attacked Freedom HQ and presented himself as a distraction to the Knothole Freedom Fighters and Chaotix by teleporting them to the Egg Grapes in New Megaopolis while making it appear like he actually killed them. Snively would have succeeded in capturing all but Sonic the Hedgehog as instructed, if he had not made the one fatal mistake of teleporting Ray the Squirrel prior to Mighty the Armadillo. Enraged at believing his timid friend was dead, Mighty lost all self-control and poured every bit of his fury into his already incredible strength. He proceeded to attack Snively's Beater by ripping off one of its arms and used it as a club to pulverize Snively, practically destroying the mech all by himself. Before the finishing blow could be delivered though, Snively managed to beam Mighty away to a reinforced Egg Grape and then activated a self-destruct program in his mech. The machine exploded and leveled what remained of Freedom HQ, almost killing Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Amy, while Snively flew away in his cockpit-turned-escape shuttle and gave a hint of what was really happening in Knothole. Snively would continue to monitor the assault from his shuttle and provide tactical information to Dr. Eggman in his Egg Beater until the end of the invasion.[1]
Trivia[]
- Had Sega not intervened with the initial plans for Sonic the Hedgehog #175, E-123 Omega would have taken over Snively's role of destroying Freedom HQ.[2]
