Beetle

Beetles are vehicles that appear in the anime series Sonic X. They are advanced machines built by G.U.N. by reverse engineering the remains of Dr. Eggman's E-Series robots.

Appearance
The Beetles are large, beetle shaped vehicles with a primarily dirty green body color with red or yellow marking around certain areas. These vehicles have large horns in the front, as well as shovel.

Features and traits
The Beetles are capable of flight and can shoot yellow lasers that are potent enough to pose a threat to E-99 Eggsterminator. They are also durable enough to survival a blast from the Eggbeam Canonball, something noted to be due to the fact that the vehicles used Eggman's robot's spare parts.

Homebound Saga
Having tracked down and taken note of Dr. Eggman's location, G.U.N. sent out several of their new Beetle models to the ocean near Station Square to recapture the Chaos Emeralds the doctor had stolen.

Upon arrival, the pilots of the Beetles began attacking E-99 Eggsterminator, ignoring Sonic's exclamation of Chris being onboard the robot. The Beetles were soon engulfed in an explosion caused by the Eggbeam Canonball, although they came out unscathed. When the Eggsterminator went on a rampage though, it easily took out the Beetles.
