Attack number 3 is the best so far, but perhaps you should now find ways WHEN you can hurt him.

But... I like big bosses ç.ç
I know it appears big, maybe a bit to much but look at this:
As I said, this boss is based over the Caterkiller. I originally thought its dimensions to be double of the Caterkiller's ones, but, as you can see, it was too little, even slighty smaller than ball Sonic, so I moved to step 2. This time, however, with its x4 dimensions it was really too big. It would have occupied the whole screen! So I thought: if x2 is to little, and x4 is too big, what remains? So I redid it again with in a x3 scale, and the result is what I posted.
I also think the best attack is the 3, because it feels original, but it is not easy to hit him during that attack, that's why I added some easier attacks, like 1 and 2, for hitting it. During attack 1 he moves slowly, so Sonic can hit him in the head, its weak point. During attack 2 he moves faster, but it is also easier to predict its movement, since it will aim at Sonic. Of course I'm sure skilled players will find more chances to hit it (the player can hit it even during attack 4b, but he/she must be fast). Besides, I also like hard bosses ;D
And know: ROUND TWO. FIGHT!
Bolt Mobile:
(OMG THIS IS THE SHITTIEST MOCK-UP I EVER MADE)
0 - Sonic reaches the end of the Zone, a storm start, and the Bolt Mobile appears. The mock-up its so bad it's impossible to understand what it is. Basically its formed by: A generator with a lightning conductor on top of it and 3 high-tension shooter below.
1 - In the beginnig, it seems the boss does nothing, since it just move back and forth. But suddenly a lightning hits the conductor and activates the generator and...
2 - After a few moments a bolt will be fired by one of the shooters!
3 - The boss will fire various bolts from one of the 3 shooters. It won't really aim at Sonic, but the player must still be careful. Of course there is a way to predict where the next bolt will strike, since the shooting shooter (worst pun ever) will light up. As the fight goes on, he will start shooting bolts at a faster pace.
4 - When hit 6 times, a short circuit in the generator will cause all shooters to shot bolts together (althought they could still shoot in rapid succesion, only one activated at the beginning)
5 - For how much a boss can be hard, there must always be a way to defeat him. The weak point of the Bolt Mobile is that it can't shoot bolts in every direction, so, if the player predicts where it will stop next, he/she will have a chance to strike at it. Oh yes, one final thing. The generator needs to reload after a certain amount of bolts have been shooted, and so the boss will need to wait for the next lightning to hit the conductor (during this moment the boss fly higher to avoid Sonic's attacks)
-When this boss is hit 6 times, he will...
Look at attack number 4
-The Zone most fitting?
Rainforest Ruins Zone (Argh, zone clash!). The reason why, in my opinion, fits that zone is because rain can easely turn to storm, and storm means bolts. Actually, maybe the boss is the cause of the heavy storm (and now that I think about it, maybe all of Act 3 can have a stronger storm instead of a simple rain like Act 1 and 2)
