The E-2000 is an advanced E-Series robot created by Dr. Eggman. Appearing in Sonic Heroes, these foes guard the numerous airships that make up the Egg Fleet.
Description[]
The E-2000 is humanoid in appearance and sports an avian motif. It is covered in red armour plating with yellow highlights on its head, shoulders and feet. Its left arm is outfitted with a plate shield for blocking enemy attacks while its right arm sports a powerful energy cannon that fires a large, pink laser beam.
The E-2000 is also capable of transforming into a plane-like shape. In this mode, the robot becomes more maneuverable, but cannot shield itself from attacks.
Game appearances[]
Sonic Heroes[]
E-2000's are encountered in the Egg Fleet and Final Fortress stages as well as during the Egg Emperor boss fight if playing as Team Dark. In gameplay, if an E-2000 is attacked, it will hold up its shield so that it cannot be damaged. If the player uses the Tornado Jump against it, it will be temporarily disoriented but cannot be damaged in this state. After a while, it will fire a laser, though this leaves it vulnerable to a counterattack. Another way to get an opening is to use the Thunder Shoot and attack the E-2000 while it is stunned; it is recommended to attack with level 0 or 1, since higher levels mainly deal damage and rarely stun the enemy.
