Final Weapon
From Sonic Retro

The Egg Bomber is the very last opponent of The Doomsday Zone, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and the Death Egg Saga as a whole. After being defeated on the Floating Island and on his orbital battlestation, Dr. Robotnik flees the exploding Death Egg still in possession of the Master Emerald. Transforming into either Super of Hyper Sonic, the hedgehog tears off through asteroid-choked space for one final chase.
Once the blue Egg Missile has torpedoed itself into oblivion, the Egg Bomber rises up from the flaming wreckage, continuing to clutch Knuckles' Master Emerald. An Eggman ego-trip robot almost exactly like Dr. Robotnik's Giant Mech, this final escape vehicle speeds through the meteor field, hurling precisely the same Eggman-shaped bombs as the Giant Mech did in Sonic 2 (as well as little blue mines from its underbelly). The final robot can be defeated by just ramming it. Success with Hyper Sonic brings about the game's best ending.
