The Faceship is is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. It was created by Dr. Eggman himself.
The Faceship was used to produce, transport and distribute the Metal Virus. Because of its mobility, it could deliver the virus to key locations across the world. It was eventually destroyed after Rouge the Bat removed its final power source.
Description
The Faceship has a strong resemblance to the Space Colony ARK, but is much smaller. It is mainly gray in coloration, with a hemispherical construction. The front of the Faceship, as its name implies, resembles the face of Dr. Eggman; it possesses a long and pointy rocket booster in the middle that resembles Eggman's nose, a massive round and red window on each side of the rocket booster that look like Eggman's glasses, red hatches below the rocket booster that are shaped like a smiling mouth, and a three triangular panels on each side that together resemble Eggman's mustache. On the back of the Faceship are also several antennas.
The Faceship is designed to run on the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, and is capable of flight. It also comes equipped with an onboard factory that produces batches of the Metal Virus en masse. The Faceship's design also allows it to distribute the Metal Virus by dumping several batches of the Metal Virus through the ship's "mouth" while the Faceship's front is facing downward.
The Faceship also comes equipped with outward speakers that allow Eggman to make public announcements.
- Control room: The main control room for the Faceship. It holds the helm controls for the entire Faceship. It also houses a throne for Dr. Eggman that doubles as the power generator for the entire Faceship (which gets its energy from the seven Chaos Emeralds). A short walk away from the throne is also a viewing area through which one can look down on the things below the Faceship through one of the Faceship's eyes.
- Metal Virus factory: The Faceship's production facility for the Metal Virus. This room features several automated mixers that blend Eggman's secret formula with metallic matter poured into them to create the Metal Virus en masse. Exactly how these mixers handle the technical details, such as encoding the command line and assembling the infecting particles however, is a "trade secret" of Dr. Eggman's.
- Hangar: The hangar of the Faceship. It is situated right behind the "mouth" of the Faceship, and includes a cat walk above that gives an overview of the hangar. It is here the mixers containing the finished Metal Virus batches are transported to by machinery so their contents can be poured out of the hangar's hatches and down on the _target zones below.
- Eggcave: A secret break room that Eggman uses in his downtime.
