Tricore Blast^[1] is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It is a special technique performed by Dr. Starline who, by using his Tricore technology, can unleash an explosive all-out attack.

Description[]

By utilizing the power of the Tricore, which itself uses Power Core energy, Dr. Starline creates a devastating knockout attack, letting out a barrage of attacks. This attack is powerful enough to completely decimate the Egg Emperor mech. However, a side effect to this all-powerful attack is that it drains the Tricore of all its energy.^[1]

Trivia[]

• The Tricore Blast is a reference to the Team Blast mechanic used in Sonic Heroes, functioning similarly as both unleash a powerful blast that destroys enemies and heavily damages bosses.
  • In particular, it seems to draw heavy inspiration from the Team Blast that Team Sonic utilizes in their Super States during the final boss fight against Metal Overlord from that game, "Super Sonic Power".
• The idea for this move stemmed from a suggestion by Sega.^[2]
