Snively's Beater

Snively's Beater was a power armor designed by Dr. Eggman and piloted by Snively Robotnik during the Destruction of Knothole in 3237. A stripped-down version of his uncle's own Egg Beater, it bore a green and white paint scheme to imitate Snively's uniform as well as a long protruding cockpit modeled after his rather prominent nose. 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 it's 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. (StH: #175)
