** I also don't think this is canon, but it's worth noting that when Eggman's Hyper-go-on cannon exploded, a black hole was formed as a result… and black holes are known to warp the space-time around them to a massive degree in real life, so it's entirely likely that Wisp energy ''does'' have the potential to mess with the fabric of reality in a similar way to the Chaos Emeralds. Either that, or Hyper-go-ons are more powerful as ''raw'' energy sources, as the Emeralds are more chaotic in how they function and thus may not make Eggman's latest robot as strong immediately.

*** Actually, it probably was invincible. Any time you attacked a part of the armor, the machine itself barely flinched. It only moved because of knock back from Sonic, and that still wasn't much in the first place. Sonic's only way of damaging it was through the cockpit directly, yet Eggman was protected by that one piece on top (as well as him being unable to reach it in the first place). As for the fires and smoke that come up as the battle progresses, it could be that it's starting to short out as damage to the cockpit builds up.
