Heavy the Mechanic is a robot which appeared exclusively in the Sega 32X video game Chaotix. He is a large, "heavy" silver robot.
Alongside Bomb, he is described as being one of Dr. Eggman's mechanics (or "Mechanix"[1]) attempting to help Knuckles and his friends, although nobody knows if they speak the truth or if they are simply planted by Robotnik to slow them down[1].
Description
Heavy is a clunky, silver robot who was Dr. Robotnik's chief mechanic. He's just as his name says: heavy, and slow; however, he's completely invincible. The two robots claimed to have escaped from the clutches of the evil Dr. Robotnik, and are simply trying to . However no one After Robotnik’s defeat at Newtrogic High Zone, the duo disappeared and have not been seen since.
Interestingly, if the player is tethered to Bomb or Heavy and has enough Rings to enter the Special Stage or Bonus Stage, they can throw Bomb/Heavy into the Giant Ring and play as them. However, there is no other way for Player 1 to play as Bomb/Heavy in regular levels without the second player's controller. The exception is if they hit a Swap Monitor or activate the level select/debug code from the Color Test menu.
In other media
Heavy and Bomb also made appearances in the Archie Comics, serving in King Acorn's Secret Service under Geoffrey St. John. However, on one mission, the two were reprogrammed to assassinate the Acorn family, and were destroyed by the defending Sonic and co. Later, rebuilt versions of the two were sent to assassinate Mina Mongoose. However, they were also thwarted, and presumed destroyed (although they are never seen being destroyed. The new Heavy was last seen sinking in a lake.)
