Weather Machine (EntityTopic, 26)

From Compile Worlds

The Weather Machine is a concept of a boss in a prototype Sonic RPG that Chao made when he was a n00b, and is a normal enemy in Sonic RPG 1. In either case, they are only shoddy recolors of Gamma. They are blue in (re)color. Weather Machines absorb all non moral/emotional elements (Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Wind, Nature, and Thunder), and attack with the elements as well. However, they can't manipulate the weather, as you might imagine them to, making them pointless. Further making them more pointless is their sheer randomness and uselessness among Eggman's more powerful creations, like the Egg Hammers, Cream Androids, BioMecha Wyvrens, etc.

Weather Machines do not appear in the last known version of Sonic RPG 1. In the prototype Sonic RPG, one was the boss of the fourth Snow Level. In RPG 1, there are also Pink and Yellow varieties. Chao doesn't remember what sets them apart from the blue ones, but it is likely not important, and it's not like he'll ever be able to look at the files and recall that info again anyway.

The basic concept of the Weather Machine, a boss that can absorb and attack with all the basic elements, will probably be reused in a real Sonic RPG that Chao ever creates. Whether the Weather Machine will be the exact method of executing that concept though is unclear.

Weather Machine is one of several recolor robots, along with Blue Greenies/Green Bluies and the guards series.
