Sonic Battle

In Sonic Battle, Eggman revealed the Death Egg as a new base.

The Death Egg was armed with the "Final Egg Blaster", a weapon that could destroy planets and stars similar to the Eclipse Cannon. Eggman threatens the planet with it, but is stopped by the heroic robot Emerl. When Emerl defeats Eggman and starts to leave, Eggman uses the Final Egg Blaster to destroy some far away stars, which overrides Emerl's programming and makes him destructive.

In the Archie-published Sonic the Hedgehog comic book, the Death Egg's purpose is to roboticize every living being on Mobius simultaneously. Sonic and Tails encounter the ship during the "Sonic Quest" miniseries, pursuing it Robotnik to Angel Island. While Robotnik attempts to use the weight of the ship to force Angel Island to plummet into the sea (effectively "drowning" it), Sonic and Tails sneak onboard and subsequently destroy it. While this version of the Death Egg was massive, it had a noticeable egg-shape, unlike its spherical appearance in previous versions.
