[edit] Prison Eggs
The Prison Eggs are large capsules created by Dr. Eggman to hold prisoners. They are generally seen to contain small animals such as Flickies, later to be implemented into Badniks. The Prison Eggs have appeared in most Sonic games, where they appear in the end of a level, often right after beating the boss (Eggman himself). Sonic then jumps on the large switch of the Prison Egg, opening it and freeing the animals. Prison Eggs change their shape slightly from game to game, but always have the same purpose. They have not been used in any 3D Sonic games since Sonic Adventure, but appears in most Sonic Advance games for the Game Boy Advance.

[edit] Doomsday Project
Dr. Robotnik's ultimate plan to complete his scheme of turning Mobius into a lifeless wasteland. Deployed in the form of pods, the Doomsday Project unleashes devastating energy beams. Each pod is virtually indestructible, able to endure even explosions at point blank.
The Doomsday Project's prototype model was first deployed against the Wolf Pack. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, and Antoine D'Coolette joined their canine allies in disabling the pod, though they were nearly defeated and captured by Snively Kintobor.
As part of his final plan for the Project, Robotnik erected an enormous tower to deploy thousands of pods across Mobius by opening subterranean tunnels. Combining forces, all the Freedom Fighters launched an assault on the tower. However, they proved unable to destroy the machine until Sonic and Sally utilized the energies of the Deep Power Stones. The tower was then destroyed, seemingly taking Dr. Robotnik with it.
[edit] Lazaar's Computer
Created by the once dark wizard Lazaar, the computer is a crystalline repository of countless forms of magic. Spells, curses, and other such powers are contained within the device, making it a dangerous tool. Even more dangerous is the fact that, were the computer destroyed, it would unleash unspeakable evil.
Lazaar made the computer to house his vast knowledge before placing himself in stasis. Protected by an arsenal of booby traps and his Guardian, it remained untouched for years. Eventually, however, Dr. Robotnik proved evil enough to bypass the defenses, enabling him to claim the computer.Tapping into the vast array of magic contained in the device, Robotnik used a teleportation spell to abduct Sally Acorn and Bunnie Rabbot. Using a spell of submission, he then turned them into his obedient slaves.
Lazaar, who had awakened to find his computer gone, initially blamed Sonic. Once convinced of the Hedgehog's innocence, Lazaar revealed that years of slumber had changed him; he no longer had a desire to do evil. Stripping Sonic of his speed, he dispatched the Freedom Fighter to retrieve his computer. Freeing Sally and Bunnie, Sonic was able to do so, returning the device to Lazaar. Grateful, the wizard returned Sonic's speed before departing, taking his fortress somewhere where neither it nor the computer would ever be found.

[edit] Chaos Syphon
Created by Dimitri and Edmund, the Chaos Syphon was developed as a way to return Angel Island to the surface of Mobius. It was designed to drain energy from the 12 Chaos Emeralds that held the island aloft, allowing it to safely descend. However, the proposal was rejected, and Dimitri stole the device in rage. Using it, he destroyed 11 of the Emeralds, draining their powers into his body. He was driven insane, and became Enerjak.
Later, when Mammoth Mogul achieved near omnipotent status and threatened Mobius, Athair delivered the Chaos Syphon to Miles "Tails" Prower, who used it to drain Mogul's power, creating the Master Emerald. The people of Albion also copied the design, using it in an attempt to drain the Chaos energy from Knuckles the Echidna. However, it was overloaded and rendered useless, thanks to sabotage by Charmy Bee. Mogul later created his own device, and attempted to use it to drain Chaos Knuckles. He succeeded, but the device was destroyed.
[edit] Egg Grape Chamber
One of Dr. Robotnik's many creations, the Egg Grape Chamber is a room housing the Egg Grapes. Spherical pods, they are arranged as their name suggests, in the form of grapes on stalks. Intended as prison containers, the Egg Grapes have at one time held: Constable Remington, Dark Legion warrior Xenin, the Fire Ant Council, numerous other citizens of Angel Island and member of the Dark Legion, Mammoth Mogul, Ixis Naugus the Destructix, and the Arachne.
Essentially, the Egg Grapes are intended to draw energy from those contained within them to power Robotnik's operations. In order to supply him, he equipped his Overlander minion Hunter with a Chaos Spear weapon that teleported victims to the Egg Grape Chamber. The original Egg Grape Chamber was badly damaged when Ixis Naugus was freed from the Zone of Silence with the power of the Sword of Acorns. As a result, all of the prisoners taken by Hunter were seemingly vaporized. After overcoming them with the Egg Fleet, Robotnik transported Mogul, Naugus, and their minions to a new chamber. A.D.A.M. later released Mogul and Naugus, while the Destructix were freed by Dr. Finitevus, Scourge the Hedgehog, and Rouge the Bat. The Arachne, apparently either drained of life force or subjected to some flaw in the Egg Grapes, died.
[edit] Quantum Dial
A device created by the Xorda, the Quantum Dial is a devastating weapon. When activated on a planet's surface, it begins to rotate like a sundial. As it turns, it opens a hole in the fabric of space and time. Upon completing its cycle, the Dial generates a massive black hole capable of consuming an entire planet.
After their gene bomb weapons failed to erase all life on Mobius, the Xorda returned centuries later. Discovering that their initial attack failed, the Xorda set up a Quantum Dial with the intent of erasing the planet from existence. Putting aside their differences, countless Mobians and factions of the same banded together. Working as one, the natives attacked the Quantum Dial, but found themselves countered by Xorda defenses. It was only Knuckles' timely revival and Sonic's seeming sacrifice that ensured the Dial's destruction.
[edit] Tachyon Displacement Chamber
Featured in Mobius: 25 Years Later, the Tachyon Displacement Chamber was created at some unknown point by Dr. Robotnik Mark II. When Mobius was threatened with destruction due to damage inflicted on the space time continuim, Rotor Walrus and Cobar concocted a plan to use the Chamber to send someone back in time in the hopes of collecting information that would help save the planet. However, the Chamber malfunctioned, and both King Sonic and Lara-Su were sent back in time.
As a result of the Tachyon Displacement Chamber's use, Mobius was altered. Shadow the Hedgehog became king instead of Sonic, becoming a despotic ruler over the planet. While Mobius was no longer in danger of being destroyed, no one but a handful of individuals remembered the original sequence of events. Aside from Lien-Da, leader of the Dark Legion, the only ones who managed this were Sonic, Lara-Su, Knuckles, Rotor, and Cobar, all of whom had in some way been exposed to the energies of the Tachyon Displacement Chamber.
[edit] Ultimate Annihilator
The ultimate weapon of the original Ivo Robotnik, the Annihilator was a device that could utterly erase any target from reality. Robotnik fired the Annihilator only twice; first as a test shot at an Overlander captive, and later to destroy the whole of Knothole village.
The weapon was damaged by Robotnik in his final duel with Sonic the Hedgehog, and its power was turned against the Annihilator control room, seemingly destroying Sonic and Robotnik in a single, titanic blast. However, the damage to the machine also saved Knothole, and Sonic's friends were able to save his life.
[edit] Warp Ring
A device created by Dr. Finitevus, the Warp Ring is essentially a portal resembling a Power Ring. Serving as instantaneous transport for anyone who uses it, it can seemingly penetrate any security measures and allow travel to any location, regardless of distance.
