Turtloids

Turtloids are flying robots based on turtles, and serve as aerial transport for robots incapable of flight. Kept in storage aboard the Death Egg Mark 2, they first saw use as mounts for a group of Egg Swats sent to intercept Team Fighters on their way to Albion. Amy Rose commandeered one of them for her own use, while the rest were destroyed by a targeted missile strike from the Tornado. (StH: #241, #242)
