The Generator^[1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, generator-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman.

Appearance[]

The Generator resembles a boxy gray machine with a square-shaped base, slanted sides, which slant towards two electrical poles on its topside. On its front, it features blue and black circuitry, and a glowing blue eye with gray eyelids. The electrical poles on the Generators top form a constant ring of electricity above it. The Generators featured in Emerald Hill Boss Fight each feature a gray number on its side ranging from 1 to 8.

Overview[]

In Sonic Speed Simulator, Generators were deployed to Emerald Hill by Dr. Eggman. These generators can be found strewn across the map, where they can be destroyed with a simple Homing Attack. These generators will respawn shortly after being destroyed, and serve no purpose apart from being a requirement to complete the "Dr. Eggman's Contraptions" Quest.

Two Generators are also present over the gate to Emerald Hill Boss Fight in Green Hill, although these are intangible, and serve no effect on gameplay.

Eight Generators later appear in Emerald Hill Boss Fight, where they provide a shield to Eggman when active. The amount of Generators active at once during the fight is proportional to the amount of players in the fight, with only three Generators at 90,000 HP each being active each phase in a one-player fight. The player has to destroy the set of Generators to take down the shield, which can be done by repeatedly using the Homing Attack on them until their health is depleted. A short while after Eggman's shield is powered off, some of the inactive Generators across the map will re-activate, and the shield will respawn. The amount of Generators that re-activate is the same as the amount of Generators that are initially active in the fight.

During the Release Shadow Event, several Generators are added to Lost Valley. Like those in Emerald Hill, these generators respawn shortly after being destroyed. Destroying 100 of these generators serves as a requirement for the quest, and rewards the player with five Dark Chao.

Powers and abilities[]

The Generators are capable of generating and maintaining energy shields around individuals. They also seem to have a degree of sentience, as they occasionally look around their surroundings from time to time.

Trivia[]

• The Generators are likely based on the Tractor beam generators from Sonic Colors, though this has not yet been confirmed.
