Described as an all-purpose aerial fortress,[1] the Egg Carrier is capable of flight and hovering, and is equipped with a plethora of weaponry. This include a large front-mounted laser cannon, a medium-sized laser cannon dubbed the "Eggman Cannon",[2] laser turrets and missile launchers. In addition, it can operate underwater, like a submarine.[3] The Egg Carrier can also transform into two shapes; a cruise form and a high-movement battle form which grants it an even wider arsenal.
