The Blastoid is a type of Badnik that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Essentially, it is a robotic gun turret; its body consists of a blue-plated dome with yellow highlights and a pair of frowning eyes at its front. Protruding from the dome is a cannon that fires a series of energy pellets whenever an enemy comes into range. The Blastoid can also function underwater.
Game appearances[]
Sonic the Hedgehog 3[]
Blastoids appear in the Hydrocity Zone. Only seen in Act One, they are located on a series of bridges that will collapse if the Blastoids are destroyed. The Blastoids are stationary and do not move, their cannons always positioned at a 40° angle. When the player enters their range, they will fire a series of three pellets. These shots are relatively easy to avoid, but if the player has a Bubble Shield, then the pellets will bounce right off. These Badniks can be destroyed by any single attack.
Sonic Mania[]
Blastoids once again appear in Hydrocity Zone. Their appearance and behaviour remains the same from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
