One thing I have always thought about is the way Sega/IDW has treated female characters' clothing and how Archie does it. I'm sure I've talked about it before but it's so night and day. And it always happens when I see girls from both camps in the same comic, like mine. For example, Archie Surge probably wouldn't be wearing pants. The Ian era of Archie saw characters getting redesigned, even before the reboot, and getting more clothes. That even includes males, like Jack Rabbit and Guntiver (I was going to also say Uncle Chuck but he got more clothes during the Bollers era). But I'm mainly talking about the women. From the very beginning, Sega preferred fully clothed females. And they call us Americans prudes!
If I make a female OC for my comics, she's going to wear 1-2 pieces of clothing and will have to rely on her fur to protect her modesty. That's the Archie way. The true Archie way.
>>10966 I like bare furry women as much as the next person, but fashionable clothing on them is also appealing. It can say much about their character with just a look. Ironically, Sally without much says a lot about her own.
>>10969 Sally's clothing really is telling of her personality and growth. As a kid she wears something you'd see on Jasmine from Aladdin, goes to wearing just boots, and then gets a vest. From typical princess attire to only practical clothing that isn't feminine in the slightest. At least the Archie girls fit better with the boys IMO. We still get new mobian males and they're either nearly naked or also have just a piece or two of clothing.
>>10968 I was young when news of Sonic Boom came out. So excited for the Rise of Lyric game I couldn't even play, or watch the cartoon. Following the updates for it daily. The new world, it's locations, the characters, and lore. It looked so promising... Then it came out. Word of it being terrible. The show having a entirely different direction. The disappointment felt was immeasurable. And it ended not with a boom but a whimper. What a complete and utter disaster of a sub franchise.
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 2 Page 16 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Everyone looking for Mighty and he just shows up like it’s nothing. But something feels off about the guy. Did he always have a warp ring? And why does Surge look surprised?
>got 3 days on 4chan for "Racism" for calling out a politically brainrotted /dbs/fag running several threads into the ground It's really funny how that place has essentially become the new Twitter.
>>10978 >fumbled More like intentionally sabotaged. Sega explicitly went out of their way to prevent Boom from being anything but a failure.
>>11064 Don't feel bad, I got 3 days on /v/ for "misreporting" post for racism. Even when post was racist and had a racist image! Shit, I also got a 3 day global for "racism" because some fuckup was actually being a political outrage fool in a King of Fighters thread on /v/ and I called him out.
>>11064 At times it feels SEGA has not quite learned from 06's failure like, you ask the developers to essientaliy revamp the game and put it on a system that the game's engine isn't even compatible with and have them do it in half a year and be surprised that the game came out unfinished and that it failed. I agree with you that SEGA sabotaged Boom's chance at being something great
The worst thing is that one of the writers said that Sonic Boom was getting a third season only to have to say it wasn't going to happen because Sega cancelled it. I also heard the DS games weren't that good.
>>11064 >>11068 You can quite literally be banned on 4chan now for saying "nigger" or "spic" (that's how I got my ban for calling out a /dbs/ schizo). Note that this only applies if you're on the receiving end of schizo behavior; if the schizo is the one spamming or calling everyone "niggers/trannies/woke/spics/insert buzzword here" they'll be left alone to keep doing it.
Given that Rapeape is a spic himself, it really does feel like they're going all in silencing anyone who isn't a /pol/-tier schizo. Which I'm not surprised by, but its sad what 4chan has turned into.
>>11070 It was probably done out of spite too. IIRC the original intent is that if Boom was successful, it would replace the mainline continuity, so SEGA had a big investment in seeing it fail.
>>11072 That's whst happens when the Admin doesn't care and let the inmates run the joint. One of these days, RapeApe will fick up so bad, they'll have no choice to be rid his dumbass.
>>11076 Chances are, by the time that happens RapeApe will have already succeeded in killing the site and will just jump ship to the next big alternative. And every single mod and janny there is basically on his payroll, so you fucking know none of them are going to do anything about his neverneding powertrip, since he actively supports and encourages their OWN powertrips.
I personally wish that we had more active alternatives to 4chan because fuck trying of have discussions about vidya or media properties over there at this point. If you can be banned for calling out a schizo but the schizo themselves doesn't get hit for ruining discussion with offtopic garbage, you are worse than Reddit or whatever bullshit the nu-4chan zeitgeist thinks is the "enemy" nowadays - you are quite literally just a second more racist (if that at this point, given some of the most recent popular takes on Twitter) Twitter.
>>11072 saying nigger is already banned on 4chan (if you say it 3 times in a post, the post will get silently discarded).
>Given that Rapeape is a spic himself, it really does feel like they're going all in silencing anyone who isn't a /pol/-tier schizo. I don't know him specifically, but spics are turbo racist and hate themselves the most, so I doubt he would be the one to initiate those kind of changes. If he is the one adding them, it's due to getting word from above to do it.
>>11078 >Chances are, by the time that happens RapeApe will have already succeeded in killing the site and will just jump ship to the next big alternative. 4chan has barely lost any posters even with the recent fucked antispam rules. Most boards show a downwards dip in early November but that's due to people busy going to elections.
>>11079 >I don't know him specifically, but spics are turbo racist and hate themselves the most, so I doubt he would be the one to initiate those kind of changes. If he is the one adding them, it's due to getting word from above to do it. There is no one above RapeApe except Hiro. He is the head admin of the site - and it's been proven that any change made is done at his behest. People like ABIB and IDWkun/Pixy literally only have their positions and are allowed to do their bullshit BECAUSE of him.

>There's one time that Shadow told Gerald about Time traveller. I think they're talking about Silver. While Shadow wants to change the past, tells them about what will happen, or keeps them in the void space to have them "frozen in one place in time", Maria doesn't want that. She will always be in his heart... Gerald also said that if he changes the past, he will rewrite the future. "All his triumphs, all he's learned, and all the good the has done woule crease to be." It's a difficult choice to him... and somehow this kind of time plot is in my NECTAR AU as well. Not exactly the same. But I like to see the canon touch this subject so I draw a short comic about them.

>>10190 SONIC BEGINS (formerly Shock and Awe) - Issue 2 Page 144 https://www.deviantart.com/underworldcircle And here I was hoping I could bully the Konductor into posting this one ;_;
>>10973 I could've pretty much written that, but for Sonic 06. Pic related (well, an image like this one, I can't find the original) was my desktop background for the year leading up to that game's release. >>10978 What's really impressive is they brought back the guy they fucked over with unreasonable deadlines to make Sonic Extreme, and then fucked his entire studio into shuttering >>11056 As much as I loved the Knuckles bathing scene, the Surge gremlin faces have been my favorite part of this issue >>11062 Remy could've one-shotted all of them! >>11068 I kinda gave up posting there since my IP changes a lot and I refuse to wait 15 minutes just to post >>11071 The DS games were competent cartoon tie-in games, but pretty forgettable for Sonic games >>11072 >You can quite literally be banned on 4chan now for saying "nigger" or "spic" Or faggot! >Given that Rapeape is a spic himself From the dox that was dropped a while back he's a 50-something half Indian (from India) half black guy >>11078 I've been running the numbers and the start of 2022 had 1m posts a day, but they've been dropping by 100k each year. In two years, we'll be at half of 2022's numbers >>11081 😍Razor😍 >>11083 It looks so fascinatingly cursed! >>11096 Or they could use the redhead that's already part of the cast!
>>11137 >As much as I loved the Knuckles bathing scene, the Surge gremlin faces have been my favorite part of this issue Gremlin-type girls need more love, literally and figuratively.
>>11139 >>11137 I've come to like Electric Gremlin, despite IDW dropping the ball. She was made as Sonic's Newest Rival but didn't ask for it at all. Look at the list- >Metal Sonic: Literally built to take him on. >Knuckles: Duped into being his enemy. >Shadow: Opposite sides due to circumstances. >Scourge: Sonic without morals and fueled purely by ego >Jet: a rivalry based off of pride at being the fastest. >Surge: Built to be but didn't ask for none of it. In fact her pervious life was lost because of it. >
>>11145 Probably due to main character shit. But yeah the other characters don't really have rivals except Knuckles. >Knuckles: Zachary, Finitevus, Thrash, the DL >Tails: Kit, Mogul was set up but he's a big enough threat for everyone & Speedy >Shadow: he got Eclipse but Archie hot canceled >Eggman: He had Nagus as a competitor for taking over the world >Tundra had Akhult >Beauregard had Jack
Again things were getting built up but mandates got in the way. My personal rivalry ideas >Eggman: Mogul, Nagus >Shellcracker vs. Abyss vs. Plunder vs. Razor & the Forty Phantom FF >Wendy vs. Katella vs. Metamorphia vs. Thunderbolt >Fiona vs. Rouge and/or Sally >Sally vs. Breezie >Bunnie vs. Jack >Amy vs. The Iron King >Longclaw vs. The Brotherhood
>>11146 Kit is the lamest “tails rival” ever, and that’s saying something since the only other one who has done anything rivally is Wave. I think Evan genuinely realised she forgot to make him Tailses’es’eses rival/enemy instead of Sonic’s buddy who got angry at Sonic after Surge came back. because all of a sudden now he started going “grr i HATE tails” when the two have barely even met and Tails has done nothing to him, Kit was only angry at Sonic originally for “lying” to him. Heck it was dumb that he got angry at Sonic too because Sonic didn’t do anything and didn’t “lie” to him about Surge being dead, and if that’s your problem why were you sucking up to Sonic in the first place and saying you want to be Sonic’s best friend, if you thought Sonic “killed” her?
That arc overall was such a mess in so many ways. Pants-on-head
>>11148 He does have that programmed hate for Tails but I get what you mean. He's with Surge but she's the one that is given the most attention. He's just in her shadow.
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 7 Page 9 https://mobiuscomics.com
The Knuckles slander must end! And in order to do that, certain things have to be done in addition to the usual Eggman gaslighting. It’s also necessary since Angel Island doesn’t have a population of 1. Which means Eggman is putting on one hell of a performance along with some top tier coaching. Jim Carrey, eat your heart out!
>>11139 Having her only character trait be hating Sonic despite never having met him was just so boring. I'm glad you've cast her as a multifaceted disaster instead >>11145 Ironically, in Sonic 06, Sonic doesn't even know who Mephiles is until after he's murdered by him. Silver and Shadow spend their entire campaigns dealing with him but Sonic's just having a regular adventure fighting Eggman until he's randomly killed by some spooky crystal dude >>11146 >Sally vs. Breezie Now that'd be fun. They're both hyper competent strategists that have a thing for Sonic >>11151 It's fascinating seeing just how well it fits. You can really see how his traits rubbed of on Sonic >>11152 I was patiently waiting for the reveal that Kit had been scamming Gay Duck and wasn't really hypnotized, but it just never happened >>11160 lmao, he's just so over playing nice! You could argue that AI Sally's doing a better job of torturing him than anyone else >>11161 Relatable! >>11162 I still maintain it's a fun game if you treat it as an unreleased beta
>>11169 Nice! Hilariously, the game went platinum so it was technically a commercial success. You could tell they were banking on it revitalizing the franchise, or at least they were early on in development. They even included commemorative postcards in the game case!
Third chapter of the Shadow manga is out. Please no pirate you horrible gaijins! >>11164 >Having her only character trait be hating Sonic despite never having met him was just so boring. I'm glad you've cast her as a multifaceted disaster instead It's a shame Ian and Evan couldn't stick to one character path for her so she's been going in one direction only to go in another.
https://www.deviantart.com/yeikoart Looks like we got four more pages of Sonic Anarchy. Here's the thread with all the previous pages. https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/137154453
>>11180 You can download the larger versions of these pages but as usual it's not necessary at this size since they don't enlarge fully here. But a fraction of the file size is good.
>>11160 Eggman being a sulky strop about his plans not being the straightforward to his enjoyment kind are always a lot of fun since it shows his intelligence but also his childishness
>>11174 I feel personally called out by that gif >>11175 >It's a shame Ian and Evan couldn't stick to one character path for her so she's been going in one direction only to go in another. It's like Penders and Bollers all over again! Or Penders and Gallagher. Or Penders and Penders >>11177 Cute and canon! >>11179 Oh wow, I thought that one got canceled >>11184 As much as I like him green, I kinda wish we'd gotten this under Flynn
>>11184 >>11185 So he's MORE of a dumbass? >>11190 It's funny how Scourge is everything the detractors make Sonic out to be: Idiot, Rude, uses People for his ego, slut...
This is unironically one of the best designed Sonic characters. Captures that Disney/Looney Tunes vibe that Sonic and Tails has. Does anyone know who Bartleby's character designer was?
>>11190 >Penders and Gallagher I think Gallagher is the only main writer Penders was able to play nice with. I never saw anything bad between them and Penders even said he talked to Gallagher about fixing The Slap. >Oh wow, I thought that one got canceled I think it's still cancelled and it's just that the artist uploaded those pages along with a bunch of other stuff.
>>11191 >It's funny how Scourge is everything the detractors make Sonic out to be: Idiot, Rude, uses People for his ego, slut... And now I wish they were right! >>11192 I'm not sure who designed him, but Antoine was likely the inspiration. He really does have a fantastic design, it's unique and balanced, while still fitting in with Sonic. Some of the other SU characters looked like they could've been aliens. SU definitely had the best aesthetics of the cartoons, a real refinement of the retro-futuristic dystopia mixed with high-fantasy that SatAM was going for >>11193 >I think Gallagher is the only main writer Penders was able to play nice with. I never saw anything bad between them and Penders even said he talked to Gallagher about fixing The Slap. Yeah, I get the feeling Gallagher's really good at working with awkward people like Penders. I still think it was funny that he made Geoffrey guard a doorway just to get him out of the way >I think it's still cancelled and it's just that the artist uploaded those pages along with a bunch of other stuff. That's a shame, I thought the weapon designs were cool >>11194 And this is why he belongs with Sonic!
>>11235 >He really does have a fantastic design, it's unique and balanced, while still fitting in with Sonic That's because Sonic was supposed to look like a golden age of animation character and from 91-93 that was the style for the series. I wish Sega brought back that artstlyle.
>>11242 Yeah, Sonic's the true successor to Felix the Cat. Sega's sitting on Mickey Mouse, but cool and absolutely refuse to capitalize on it >>11245 😱 >>11244 >Eggman's got a new scheme, a Riders tournament with a twist: tandem extreme gear! With the fate of the world at stake Sonic and Knuckles must get close and personal. Will they be able to fully synchronize their movements and act as one, or will Rough and Tumble defeat them? >>11246 Oh boy, our special friend's not happy!
>>11252 aye especially since been catching up on classic comics, character commissions and nearly finished season 2 of EMH, gonna start Iron-Man Armoured Adventures after which was the other Marvel show caught a lot as a kid on ABC 3. After that might watch the classic Spider-man TAS or do more reading.
>>11247 >Oh boy, our special friend's not happy! Every time I check the thread it gets worse in a whole new way. Makes all the troubles I went through look like nothing in comparison. >>11251 Things have gotten so much worse for Sonic threads on the 4chan since the Archie Ride ended. I can't see it ever happening again on /co/.
>>11255 yeah that show is just the perfect Marvel adaption and if you like Marvel is essentially required viewing, Hank and Janet are probably my faves in the show besides the obvious big 3 Avengers and my love of every villain that shows up.
>>11249 Nice! >>11251 It's like reading the Moebius version of our threads >>11253 >EMH That was a heap of fuun >Iron-Man Armoured Adventures It's a bit of a strange take, but I liked it >>11254 >Every time I check the thread it gets worse in a whole new way. Makes all the troubles I went through look like nothing in comparison. I'm just glad we've got our own board now >Things have gotten so much worse for Sonic threads on the 4chan since the Archie Ride ended. I can't see it ever happening again on /co/. Looking back, each Sonic Ride has attracted more schizos and heavy-handed moderation. At some point Sonic will just be banned on sight >>11258 It's barely a year since we started the last Archie Sonic Ride
>>11259 yeah being a Sonouge or Sonaze guy plus Mimic being the only new IDW character really genuinely like made it easy.
EMH was just the thing needed to really get my love of Marvel and my interest going again, just such a great show that deserved at least one more season.
Armoured Adventures justifies itself with it's great version of Pepper plus the best lookign Rescue Armour, some great renditions of Iron Man's Rogues Gallery though wish Melter got some rep in it, the best Mandarin easily just visually and in execution plus that theme song.
The thread was just sad, like it wasn't even funny bad it was just depressing.
>>11262 honestly sometimes quality of people over quantity is fine enough suppose but suppose we're also just not volatile, in my case not as much as used to be, in our opinions enough to flock to
>>11263 It would be nice if there was at least a few more people active here. >>11264 It's a shame that arguing is what they prefer doing than having an actual discussion.
>>11261 Mimic's so much fun, it's a shame they don't lean into his psycho side more I'm still pissed EMH got canceled. It's pretty much the perfect rendition of Marvel Yeah, seeing everyone remixed to fit AA's setting was a lot of fun What's really depressing about that thread is just how typical it is of modern 4/co/ (and modern 4chan). As soon as anyone tries to do something fun over there the schizos crawl out of the woodwork immediately. At least we got some Ride threads where we were left alone >>11262 They're too stuck in their ways. We've got everything they keep saying they want (no captcha, sane moderation, the ability to post modern file formats, no ABIB, etc) and yet they'd rather stew in the mediocrity >>11265 I can't believe Mighty's breaking up with Ray ;_; >>11269 >It would be nice if there was at least a few more people active here. I'm still optimistic that we'll get our numbers up. We've got a few regulars in the Tamers threads. Still surprised we didn't get more /sthg/ posters >It's a shame that arguing is what they prefer doing than having an actual discussion. That's why they won't post here
>>11271 Yeah honestly Mimic making Lanolin look like more of a twat is fun but let him do some real bastard antics.
Also EMH getting cancelled did suck but was good while it stayed, you have a fave character from the show? Also Armoured Adventures design for Whiplash is easily one of the coolest in the show besides Ultimo and Unicorn.
Man, you just reminded me just how much one person I know says Ray looks like the most stereotypical little gay in his words, as said before all bi people I know have it out for him.

Regardless, we know now that The Ride won't be deleted when it starts for real, like some anons feared. Thanks and apologies for the early stoppage if there was anybody lurking. Nah. If I was to do anything it'd be another Unofficial Ride and I just don't have it in me to do that again.
>>11278 >Nah. If I was to do anything it'd be another Unofficial Ride and I just don't have it in me to do that again. Same. As fun as it was, storytiming on 4/co/ is just too much effort. There's no way I'm sitting through 15 minute waits and even more indecipherable captchas. I do think I'll start storytiming some comics here again though.

>That being said; thoam will take a break now. Issue 10 will release in january with the same weekly monday schedule! 2026 we'll have to say... goodbye. But I hope you'll stick around because I am not leaving comics behind! There's still so much to do... which you will see eventually.

>>11272 He might not have a sharpened senior citizen's card to throw at Sonic, but Mimic 100% steals every scene he's in
It's been a while, and there were so many great interpretations of everyone it's hard to pick, but I'd say Stark or the Pyms >Armoured Adventures design for Whiplash It was cool how it had kind of a spooky vibe to it, and you can never go wrong with red and black!
>>11300 I just feel bad since he has a genuinely cool design, concept and would work great as a recurring villain but got wasted in his debut and probably isn't gonna get the chance to be salvaged like some other characters with rough starts
>>11290 yeah Mimic genuinely just feels like an actual threat since he actually has an ability, fighting experience and knife aside the big ol tentacles feel like they could do some damage.
Yeah Hank Pym was easily one of my faves in the show and Iron Man is pretty much done perfectly even without the substance delving into and especially free of the character assassination he got in the 2000's
Genuinely great design I'll have to use for inspiration when comm Whiplash pic, he's gonna have a bird tho since I just liked that in IM2.
Ray does seem very unmasculine to be fair not even in a mean way just matter of fact
>>11301 I don't know about him being a recurring villain. People suggest him being one for Shadow, but aside from being in his origin, there's nothing.
>>11306 >>11307 >TFW we'll never see Sticks get escorted by Team Dark because she saw some shit she wasn't supposed to see >We'll never see her just feeling glee at seeing Shadow & Omega who justify her ramblings >We'll never see Rouge alternate between annoyance & laughing her ass off >We'll never see Omega's barely restrained rage at the fleshling WHO WILL NOT STOP TALKING SHE MUST DIE NOW >We'll never see Shadow realizing that Marine wasn't so bad after all
>>11316 Thanks for storytiming >>11317 It's such a hassle since they give the ultra-hard ones if you switch IPs (after making you wait 15 minutes or course!). How the fuck am I supposed to tell the difference between a blurry gray M and N on a slightly lighter gray background? >>11322 My thoughts exactly! For all my complaints with Flynn's characterization of Sonic, he's got patrician taste in ships!
>>11325 Probably a Sega thing. A town of the same animal for a non-game character would probably get away with more variations. In this instance, Penders comes out looking good in comparison with his wildly different designs for other echidnas (even if they're all variants of Knuckles aka Red Sonic).
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 7 Page 10 https://mobiuscomics.com
Poor Zooey, there just doesn’t seem to be much room for a simple farm girl in a young genius’ life when he’s busy working in a group of heroes and looking for a way to find his parents somewhere out in space. And it looks like Shard was already introduced to the Freedom Fighters. Don’t worry, you only missed out on a lot of yelling and arguing, mostly between Sonic and Shard. You’ll see some of that next page.

>>11326 Interestingly they did have 3 different models for the (non-Pachacamac) warrior Echidnas, and each had a different bodytype.

One of the surrogate older sibling laws is that you must never abandon your adopted younger sibling! But Mighty’s not himself so he can be forgiven for breaking such an important law.
Gerald pissed Maria died, steals ARK(Time Machine) and escapes, Shadow is captured but all according to plan as when Gerald reemerges from the time stream Shadow will reactivate and help carry out their plan of destroying Earth with a black hole generated by the ARK's power supply.
Super Shadow fights and beats Super Sonic(draining his power), Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Stone end up dying Shadow and Robotnik have a change of heart seeing how sad Tom and Maddie are / Stone dead and reverse time(Super Shadow pushing the ARK around the Earth over and over until they blip back before they were killed). Super Shadow closes the Blackhole and "dies" as a result, but is actually alive in the end floating in space. Robotnik tries using the ark to timetravel and conquer world but gets stuck in timestream without power.
Amy as after credits. Classic costume, playing with tarot cards and has a vision of the future of two figures(Silver and Blaze) standing in front of a burning city.
>>11450 And it's such a common thing in Archie. I wonder if Starline's hypnotism is a leftover from Archie. That last bit of Archie corruption that Ian had left in him. In fact I don't know when he first started using it. IDW kind of just blends together.
>>11454 His face in that panel cracks me up. Also yeah, mind control happened a lot in Archie. >Robotcization(Eggman) >Magic(Nagus, Mogul, Wendy) >Other forms of Technology(Eggman again, Dark Legion) >Chaos Fuckery(Finitevus)

The mysterious woman who might be Maria's sister, appeared in one of the trailers. Weird how they're showing off someone who hasn't appeared yet like this. I've been wary of her though. Robotnik family and their drama is something I'm getting fed up on. We don't need another get sad over Maria dying monologue.
>>11492 >Hey, it's my future father in law! Fun fact: thanks to time dilation in the Twilight Cage, he's only 5 years older than Remington I don't think Remington will be Kragok's son in my series since I'm doing away with the different passages of time. >>11499 That would supremely suck. >>11498 I remember people saying that Ian was getting away with too much in how he answered questions so I wonder if that led to this even if this is directed at the people asking the question. Maybe both.

It is said that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer but Sonic doesn’t do slow. Sonic got a taste of that god power and feels like nothing can stop him. Can Sally keep him from rushing into this alleged trap? In the Archie comics, Sonic and Sally bickered a lot (sometimes for the sake of drama to the detriment of the comic) but it spiced up their relationship in a good way. Sonic always seemed to enjoy the company of rivals and enemies. Makes sense that the girl he loves causes some friction with him.
>>11506 Just sounds like Sega wants to make sure questions they don't like aren't being asked and answered. It might not even be that bad. It could be handled like Twitter Takeover but I don't know how they do it. Ideally it doesn't impact the podcast much and just the bad questions get rejected. Worst case scenario that it can only be questions about what Sega is currently pushing.
>>11507 I dont know anon, its one thing to have Sega having a talk with Ian in private and then him giving a public post about moderating his future questions. But to announce that Sega will vet all questions as if the podcast was suddenly their property ? It sounds a lot like he chose to sell out the thing to them instead of this being any kind of control measure.
>>11496 Ooooh, you made me watch the trailer again! >>11498 Looks like Flynn's finally gone truu farr >>11499 I'm not sure what people would ask about if it isn't Archie. He's fully NDA'd for anything non-comic related and there's only so many questions you can ask about the crying lesbians >>11500 Really depends on preference Katella: Power Thunderbolt: Enthusiasm Metamorphia: Variety Iron Quen: Technique Wendy: Arcane degeneracy >>11501 I miss finding stuff like this gross ;_; >>11502 >spoiler Probably for the best, since there are zero major character Echidnas from the floating island that aren't related to Knuckles. Even Wyn's his step-dad! I do like the idea that Remy's just a regular Echidna that's trying to do the right thing. The time dilation was always confusing and never fully explained, so getting rid of it will leave more room for the important plot points >>11505 lmao, they're already bickering! You know, if this was early Archie, Sally would have pointed out that he gets the super punched out of him in the previews >>11506 He's answered some Sonadow-related questions implying Sonic might be DTF, which probably got him in trouble
Oh yeah this was done very early. >>11509 I can only see Sega doing this if they really wanted to because they can be really lazy until they suddenly feel like their brand is threatened (by anyone other than them). Otherwise Ian would just say he'd turn down questions he really didn't want to answer. Having Sega come in sounds like they told him he can continue the podcast but only with their people vetting the questions. >>11510 >spoiler I've already been tearing about the Knuckles family tree and rearranging so what's one more bit of pruning?
I'm once against surprised by reactions. So far, people are siding with Sally. I would've bet money that they'd tell her to back off and let Sonic do his thing. Maybe Sonic is allowed to make mistakes and rightfully get blamed for it.
>>11505 Cocky brat is gonna get his due eventually! >Makes sense that the girl he loves causes some friction with him Sally has given him that spice so far, but Knuckles is another level of it. He's going to flirt so much with him.
>>11511 >spoiler B-but how will you expect quiz the readers with a full page family tree? Next you'll be telling me you won't be providing maps of the island, complete with circular rivers! >>11512 Well she is making a good point without bruising his ego >>11513 >He's going to flirt so much with him.

>>11520 I was thinking of making a Mega Man thread. Mainly for Archie MM since it could be considered a side series for Archie Sonic. And other MM talk could be allowed. Still waiting on that Archie Mega Man fancomic revival to happen.

>>11529 Sometimes I just want to hear why they do it. >>11531 Yeah I'll be vigilant with his current Tails Frontiers comic. At least I managed to save the last batch he deleted even if it wasn't that many comics. >>11532 Spring is Here was such a simple romcom but it opened my eyes to that pair. Also reminded me of the Archie story where Amy and Tails were the same age and went to school for like an issue. >>11533 >You should just point me to the ones you want downloaded. You know I love obsessively archiving fancomics! Awesome! https://x.com/FernsStories Here's an artist that has a lot of Tangle and Espio shipping art and comics. https://x.com/ExecutionSonic https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/131403362/#131405098 The Sonic Excution comics.

Also Tekken X Virtua Fighter when? That reminds me that the customization for Tekken 8 is insane. I wonder if there's a Sonic Man costume or something like that for other Sonic characters. >>11535 For once having their lives revolve around Sonic was a good thing once he finally left. But that comic did stop right before a mysterious person showed up at Tails' house and it was likely going to be Sonic.

>>11619 Imagine if they were also blob feet. In fact, if humans are ever allowed in IDW then I know that Evan will immediately fill her feet quota through them.
>>11620 That would be cursed but humans have feet as seen with Eggman in the Olympic Games. >Evan will immediately fill her feet quota through them DO NOT GIVE HER IDEAS
>>11631 Honestly feet don't do anything for me. Not even a tingle down south. And I get disgusted when they're the focus of an image (which is why I never even post those as a joke haha). But the meme potential and knowing how others will immediately notice it is too funny to pass up. And the craziest thing is that Sega makes it worse with their emphasis on blob feet. It's such a Barbara Streisand move because their choice is rejected by almost everyone so those that do come up with their own. Why feet is so much bigger in the Sonic fandom than other fandoms, even ones with animals as main characters, I just don't know. It's just all so weird and fascinating. And good for trolling.
>>11633 I may poke fun but I don't kinkshame. Much. >>11634 I don't hate them. I'm pretty neutral on them but I find everything around them to be fascinating. They really have become the meme kink. >>11635 In SF4 and SF5 she was hot and barefoot. In SF6 she's hot and FEEEEEET! Street Fighter is already known for having a lot of barefoot characters and the style gives everyone large hands and feet but Juri took it up a notch over the years and the devs doubled down on it. I've heard that someone specifically that worked on Street Fighter for all these years has a foot fetish so a lot of females are barefoot. Like with the Souls games. People have been bringing that up more. Like I said, I think it's fascinating while the fetish doesn't excite me in the slightest. >>11636 Archie Mega Man is so underrated and barely has any fanart, it's crazy and sad. A great series that the fandom at large doesn't care enough to even hate it like you see with Sonic.
>>11638 Really started with Third Strike. From that to now we have Makoto, Elena, Ibuki, Juri, female Seth, Laura, Menat, Manon, Marisa. And some of those have appeared in multiple games. Compared to other fighters, SF has considerably more. Before SF6, people would think something's up but now it's not even a secret. The devs know and they're gonna give people what they want.
>>11639 The one where Blaze reincarnates from 2006 and ends up in the Sol universe? This one kind of does but it's more like Blaze was taken to the doomed world where she first met Silver and returned back to her home in Sol. >>2147
>>11640 Dammit, now I'll see shit differently. That does track because SF does have plenty of bare or exposed feet for femsle fighters. Like Juri has a cover for the newest SF Swimsuit comic and it's just a foot fetishist dream. Funny enough, I like Marisa's suit alt way more than her standard outfit.
>>11642 There are also alts for female characters that expose their feet. SF5 had so many alt costumes. >>11643 I don't shy away from it and there's already been quite a few characters that have been barefoot. Just let it organically happen and of course some characters like Rosie and Rosemary are always like that.

Totally random fact: In the Archie comics, Julie-Su’s first appearance was when Vector attacked her because she was a Dark Legion member and she promptly knocked him out. That made him carry a grudge with her that never went away. Also, it’s not safe for anyone, aside from Knuckles and Archimedes, to be in the same room as the Master Emerald. Why? It can be very… persuasive. More on that later.
>>11536 >Awesome! Archived now! I'll sort them into something more manageable later >>11553 I like the dramatic poses, very anime-esque. Thanks for posting!

>>11659 >Since we're Starlineposting, here's my favorite animation of him It will never stop being funny that all the fanart of Surge being a bratty teenager turned out to be better than the actual character.
Seriously, Surge getting bucketed and turning into a whiner was when I gave up on IDW.
>>11661 Snively's design here is pretty top tier, also honestly despite preferring mobian characters it's not even funny how much Snively sweeps Starline
>>11666 Snively's design is just nice in general. Which I believe the same for the main Freedom Fighters in SatAM. But back to him, that one harkens back to his original clothing which is great. >despite preferring mobian characters it's not even funny how much Snively sweeps Starline It helps that his base character is good, has good chemistry with Eggman, and Archie giving him years of being a delightful little rascal with development.
This isn't to say Starline is bad. He had his own appeal as the flamboyant disgruntled fanboy.
>>11681 Love this Black Doom design, Sally is cute/sexo and Spider-man you should be making sure Stegron doesn't fill mobius with Mobian Dinosaur people....actually let him do that

I'm glad the movies are heading the direction of not shying away from Gerald's evil. Something they've been doing for a long time. He's a sad figure, but he still tried to commit something horrible. In fact this works well with the theme for these. Which they've been setting up since the first one. I like that a lot.
>>11694 I don't even remember if he had any role whatsoever in SA2. That games story is such a mystery, and the cutscenes makes no sense whatsoever. Eggman breaks into a prison and frees Shadow, Knuckles breaks the Master Emerald so Rouge can't steal it so they start emerald hunting, somewhere between that Rouge helps Eggman to break into other facilities and get Chaos Emeralds and... some time by the end Eggman activates a space station with a laser to destroy the moon and throws Sonic off an airlock almost killing him. Then they turn into super sonic and super shadow and fight Biolizard in space.
The entire part about Gerald and Maria is something I completely do not remember at all, maybe Eggman mentions his grandfathers notes when freeing Shadow.
Are there some text sections or something in-game that I skipped over that explain everything?
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 7 Page 12 https://mobiuscomics.com
That’s our Sonic! One of Sonic’s flaws is his willingness to run headfirst into trouble and think it’ll all turn out fine. It usually does but not always. And how ironic the lock for the chaos emerald room is meant to keep everyone but the core Freedom Fighter members out.
All this talk of Gerald has given me an idea. I think I'll storytime Gerald's diary and un-redact all the missing parts >>11676 I couldn't help it, my true fetish is puns! >>11694 Nice! >>11695 Despite arguably being the most important character in SA2, we see very little of his direct actions. I think this is 100% intentional as he's an order of magnitude more intelligent than Eggman or Tails, and demonstrates it by so effectively puppetmastering everything 50 years after his death >>11696 Correct, although he had many contingencies. The first plan was to have Shadow collect all 7 emeralds and blow up the Earth with the eclipse cannon, then crash the ARK into the Earth if Shadow had a change of heart, and then have the Biolizard crash it if Shadow somehow worked against him. Obviously he didn't account for two hedgehogs going super, combining their chaos control abilities, and teleporting the ARK back into place >>11698 A perfect followup to the last one! >>11705 Some really great dialogue here. It's nice to see them fight but still obviously care for each other. I kinda feel like Tails is closer to his Boom personality with all the sarcastic comments he's making. Not that I mind! >>11708 TLDR: It's mentioned in one of the reports Rouge uncovers and brought up in Rouge and Shadow's conversations that his memories might be altered. There's no way for Gerald to reprogram the ARK from his prison cell, but we do know Shadow's been having issues with his memories.
That's one of the most fun and frustrating things about SA2, a lot of it you have to read between the lines (or read interviews with Sonic Team). With Sega exiting the console market and suffering serious financial losses, it wasn't clear what would happen to Sega and Sonic Team, so the development of SA2 should be viewed as their swan song.
I've written before about how it was ambiguous whether Sonic was the original ultimate lifeform, but TLDR: if Sonic Team never got to make another Sonic game, then Sonic was the hedgehog Gerald created on the ARK that bonded with Maria, whose capsule was never found (but opened ~45 years later, releasing an amnesiac blue hedgehog), and Shadow was made on Prison Island by a now-insane Gerald as a weapon for GUN, but imprinted with his will and false memories of Maria.
Of course, they did get to make more games, and while they kept this plot in Sonic Battle, by Heroes they'd scrapped it for Shadow being the original ultimate lifeform. More context was added to Shadow's past in Heroes and StH, but if we just go by the events of SA2 and ignore all the implied parts, then the "canon" story is: Maria gets sick, Gerald allies himself with GUN and begins researching a cure under Project Shadow, creating artificial chaos and the Biolizard aboard the ARK before finally creating the ultimate lifeform Shadow. He also builds the eclipse canon, which can only be powered by the chaos emeralds.
GUN gets paranoid and shuts Project Shadow down, killing the researchers and Maria, but not before Shadow escapes. GUN find Shadow's capsule and bring him and Gerald to Prison Island, where Gerald's to turn Shadow into a weapon for them. Gerald's gone insane from grief and implants false memories (i.e., his will) into Shadow. I'd argue he actually implants a copy of himself, but that's speculation.
Either way, GUN finds out what he did to Shadow and executes him, putting Shadow on ice. Eggman wakes Shadow up 50 years later after getting a copy of his grandfather's diary. Things then happen as you see them in the game (Shadow steals a chaos emerald, GUN pins the blame on Sonic to cover up their dirty laundry, Shadow collects the rest of the emeralds, etc).
What's important, but never explicitly stated is what Shadow's doing when we're focusing on Rouge or Eggman when they're on the ARK. It's actually him that reprograms the ARK to crash into Earth, although he may not be conscious of this. I personally think when Shadow's off-screen, it's Gerald in control. I also think he reprogrammed the Biolizard to crash the ARK as a contingency, and judging from how the scenes were shot in the Sonic X adaption, likely uploaded his consciousness into the Biolizard as well.
>>11721 >in the next issue, it's up to Sonic, Tails, and a random Coyote, Rabbit and Walrus to save Acorn Village (and its scantily clad and improbably busty Chipmunk/Squirrel mayor) from Eggman's latest scheme! I'd read it!

Sometimes you want to push them off a cliff. But being harsh all the time just....pushes them away. Learned that one the hard way, heh. But leadership takes patience, caring and trust. Also making sure they don't destroy a city block."
>>11730 >he isn't a slut He knows what he's doing. Fun fact, the guy that commissioned (and colored) this is the one that's editing every panel of Archie Sonic to be barefoot >>11731 Now that'd be a fun crossover!
>>11664 >Seriously, Surge getting bucketed and turning into a whiner was when I gave up on IDW. It's IDW mandate, any girls must become lesbians, lesbians that cry. Surge does have some great faces though.
>>11739 I don't know who Maria Hill is, but if you mean, sex-object military girl rube used by the villains to advance their schemes, then yes, that's Lanolin.

>>11824 Maria Hill is from Marvel, she works for SHIELD and the second in command after Nick Fury. She's a no nonsense person that prefers the heroes working for SHIELD but not having them act on their own but tolerates it because she can't do much about it. She's like Amanda Waller if she wasn't antagonistic.
>>11826 Nick Fury does things differently. He's more lax with heroes and will be more chummy with them while also being very secretive and manipulative. If he doesn't want heroes to be involved he'll omit things and do stuff behind their backs, even if the hero ends up getting involved anyway.
>>11826 Fucking psychics, I don't know who Hill is but I always feel bad for characters that have their private internal lives looked into by psychic assholes.
>>11828 Hill was a bitch and kind of a fuck up. Not as bad as Gyrich but Fury she was not. I mean one of the first things she does as the mew Director of SHIELD is try to arrest Captain America because. Funny enough the SHIELD Jet Cap commandeered, after it landed, as an apology, Steve took the pilot to a diner and treated him to Burger & Fries. >>11827 Someone on /co/ once said, Fury was/is about 70% honest to the good guys because he knows they're needed but even they can't do what he can do.
>>11822 >bueno Get wordfiltered nerd! >>11824 >>11826 She's actually one of my favorite characters in Marvel. Just a regular person trying to do (what she feels is) the right thing in a world filled with superpowered horror >>11829 >one of the first things she does as the mew Director of SHIELD is try to arrest Captain America One of the many reasons I don't read the comics much anymore. They just keep ruining all my favorite characters >>11831 >wants a gay bff >but befriending one of the gay mutants is effort >oh wait, I'm a powerful psychic and my good friend Bobby's right there Problem solved!
Since G.U.N. is basically S.H.I.E.L.D. they should use Walters as their Fury. Where he wants to make a special group to deal with extreme matters. Calling it the Team Dark Initiative.
>>11829 >Hill was a bitch and kind of a fuck up Bendis didn't do her any favors but he it seemed he intentionally wrote her as someone in over their head when given the keys because she messes up and has to be saved by the heroes all the time during Secret Invasion and goes on the run during Dark Reign. If anything she got humbled a lot and learned to be nicer to superheroes. >Gyrich The Westwood of SHIELD except he actually cares about doing his job. He's just an absolute ass about it and has been an ally to the Avengers while still being an annoyance for them. >>11832 >Get wordfiltered nerd! I can't even be a proper zoomer on here!
Shoutout to Victoria Hand, the Maria Hill for the villains who actually cared about doing good. She also likes girls. And then when she begins working with the Avengers, Bendis randomly kills her off. I like conflicted women in power, doing what they think is right even if it isn't.
>>11832 Yeah it's funny I like Maria Hill when written by certain writers or in cartoons but mostly don't like Lanolin despite be comparing them. Also Maria Hill is hotter then Lanolin fight me
>>11839 Tough women in charge that occasionally shows vulnerability has an interesting gap moe appeal. Also applies to tomboys being briefly feminine, villainesses that can be affectionate, and a seemingly cold woman that has a hidden passionate side.
>>11834 >I can't even be a proper zoomer on here! FR FR! >>11837 That's gotta be posed and traced over 3d models right? Even the furniture looks like 3d models >>11838 If Locke and Geoffrey can be interesting characters in the fancomics, then it really does depend on the writer >Also Maria Hill is hotter then Lanolin fight me She kinda reminds me of Benson in SVU. Obviously I'd go for Stabler, but she was pretty cute >>11840 And that's why Regina is best girl! Mree-hee-hee!
Is it healthy for a father who lost his child to recreate her as an AI? In the Archie comics, namely the reboot timeline, Dr. Ellidy gave Nicole to a young Sally before leaving. In this case, he hadn’t even created her by the time he left. And now we know how Eggman came to Mobotropolis. Amazing how one page fills in so much backstory.
>>11844 lmao, at least remove the lego studs first! >>11845 Oh boy, new DILF just dropped! Seriously though, great job squeezing in all that backstory >>11846 I'm 100% convinced Nine is based off of him. The concept art had him with extra regular tails, but someone was clearly inspired to redesign him
>>11835 I wanted Victoria to get something of a redemption arc instead of killing her off. Let her become the Anti-Gyrich. She tried to do good with bad but now she's a liason with actual Avengers. And slowly but surely they warm up to each other. Besides, how many Avengers has done a screw up or 5?
>>11727 >All this talk of Gerald has given me an idea. I think I'll storytime Gerald's diary and un-redact all the missing parts So it turns out the online copies of Gerald's diary are pretty low resolution. Looks like I'll be firing up the scanner again ;_; Still, others have already transcribed the text so there's that!
>>11847 >Oh boy, new DILF just dropped! Seriously though, great job squeezing in all that backstory It's fun fitting everything together and having characters crossing paths. >>11849 Yeah it was weird he did it for seemingly no reason. He could've just had her leave and not use her again so someone else could. >>11851 I saved what seems to be pretty good scans.
>>11852 >It's fun fitting everything together and having characters crossing paths. I'm still blown away by just how many issues we've gotten through! >I saved what seems to be pretty good scans. Those are much better than the ones on the wiki, although I was able to squeeze a little more detail out using filters (the original scan's a complete mess since they used a cheap dot-matrix printing technique)
>>11843 >If Locke and Geoffrey can be interesting characters in the fancomics, then it really does depend on the writer Yeah, I feel like ABT's version of her with the PTSD, two-sided love-hate for Sonic, schizophrenia, coffee addiction, friendship with Shadow, shitty mom, and daddy issues, is more interesting than what happens in IDW.
>>11856 >>11854 >Kragok: Is this what counts for the opposition? Foppish and Flamboyant Fools?! >Starline: Flamboyant, sure. Foppish, slightly. Fool? Never. Alternatively...
>Kragok: We, The Dark Legion, shall finally take our rightfully place on Top!! >Starline: Sorry, but my darling has that position taken. >Maw: Among other positions. >Kragok: Great, more hormonal idiots. Bad enough I have to live with one. >Lien-Da: I'm standing right here. >Kragok: How I wish that wasn't true.
>>11864 Cream and hopefully Vanilla, Rouge, Amy, something Knuckles related like the Echidnas or Iblis. Mephalies as a teaser for him being the main villain in a Sonic 06 esq Movie. That last one is just a pipedream.
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 2 Page 20 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Guardian senses tingling! Poor Knuckles isn’t even done with the whole Mighty situation and now he’s got to see what’s going on with the Master Emerald. He’s definitely not going to like what he finds.
>>11857 His interpretation is so good! The idea that many people are just kinda sick of IDWnic and Eggman's shit is something that really should be explored. It could only happen in fancomics though >more interesting than what happens in IDW. So is paint drying, but I get what you mean! >>11858 lmao, I love the idea of Kragok being the straight man to their antics >>11860 They both surrendered power early on (to Eggman and Enerjak) and had anticlimactic ends (jobbing to Eggman and Tobor) before they really got to do anything so it's a tough decision. Gay duck did at least get some wins in the Bad Guys special >>11863 Marry, fuck, kill >>11864 Assuming we won't get Sonic and Knuckles making out, then I'd like to see Rouge and Omega turn up. It'd be cool if they had a shot of a sci-fi world with the Babylon Rogues riding their air gear. It'll never happen, but I'd absolutely love to see the Nocturnus Clan show up >>11865 Mephiles would be so cool, and they did include him as a boss fight in Sonadow Generations >>11866 >LOL I wanted to paste their heads over the characters, but got lazy ;_; >>11867 Nooooo, my Charmy x Tails ship is in ruins!
>>11870 >His interpretation is so good! The idea that many people are just kinda sick of IDWnic and Eggman's shit is something that really should be explored. It could only happen in fancomics though I like the idea of people who like or are fans of Sonic joining the Restoration only to become disillusioned with him and the cause, even they're still fighting for the good of the nameless animal people who inhabit the unarmed archipelago they all live in. With those people like Lanolin eventually forming a millitaristoc, pseudo-facist faction within the Restoration who have the same goal of protecting everyone, but in order to do that they want to become an over arching governing party that united the disparate islands, tribes, and towns together in order to protect everyone. So they'd have the same goal of Sonic at his friend's but he at ends with them ideologically and methods wise. Also they'd be racist against humans since humans are outsiders to the archipelago and Eggman the most prominent villain is a human.
>>11870 >The idea that many people are just kinda sick of IDWnic and Eggman's shit is something that really should be explored. Reminds me of Nephthys. >>11871 >With those people like Lanolin eventually forming a millitaristoc, pseudo-facist faction within the Restoration who have the same goal of protecting everyone, but in order to do that they want to become an over arching governing party that united the disparate islands, tribes, and towns together in order to protect everyone. >So they'd have the same goal of Sonic at his friend's but he at ends with them ideologically and methods wise. Reminds me of the Acorn Council if they did something other than oppose the heroes.
>>11874 She figured out how the world worked and it haunted her. You know, I like the Egg Bosses but I can understand people saying there were too many, Kukku shouldn't be apart of it, etc. The former could've been done better if Ian didn't have to speedrun through so many things.
>>11874 >Reminds me of Nephthys. Nephtits really was the Starline before Starline, and the Surge before Surge, and the ABT!Lanolin before ABT!Lanolin. Except she's more successful than the above since she actually accomplishes her goal, isn't killed off, and knows her limits. I don't think having people be tired of IDWnic and IDWEggman's shit thus going their own way is a bad idea, it's just poorly executed and may not have a place in such a game canon compliant series. For one thing, I do like the idea of Surge and Lanolin both coming to that conclusion, but with Surge I would expect a lot more introspection from her to get to that point. Honestly Surge is kind of dumb, she wants free of Starline but doesn't have any plans of her own and does what he wanted her to do anyways even while she's plotting to kill him. That's not a bad thing, characters can be dumb, especially when they're under or recovering from mind control like Surge is, but that needs to be addressed in universe. Having Surge come to the realization she agrees with Starline, or her just rejecting him and becoming an anti-hero who opposes Eggman are both cool ideas but the ball is just dropped on that front. Kind of like how there was that half-hearted schizophrenia thing with Surge. The writers clearly all have ideas for her, but from the beginning I don't think they agreed on which direction they wanted to take her in. That said, I don't hate what Surge is currently doing in the comic, Clutch her shitty dad(?) tried to play her but she along with Kit have seemingly decided to play him and fuck everybody else over for their own satisfaction.
I think the best solution would to have Surge have an agreed upon character arc from the start, than just offload the other ideas into other characters like. But seriously there are some strange similarities between ABT's Lanolin and some of what the writers try to do with Surge, although I don't even think you'd need ABT's Lanolin in order to do some of those story lines. Seeing Tangle and/or Whisper become disillusioned and more politically extreme antagonists within the restoration could have been cool.
https://www.deviantart.com/underworldcircle/art/A-World-Without-Borders-CLOSE-UP-1131572631 Oh this is a nice image... >>11875 Feels like Ian wanted to use Kukku but couldn't fit him in unless he had him part of the Egg Bosses.
>>11878 >>11879 >https://www.deviantart.com/underworldcircle/art/A-World-Without-Borders-CLOSE-UP-1131572631 This is some weird sort of incest right here.
>>11874 It'd of been really nice for Nephys to see first hand why her beliefs are wrong with maybe Eggman just devastating her region, Freedom Fighters and faction just cause he was bored of the stalemate with Sonic not a factor whatsoever
>>11875 >>11874 Yeah, Kukku can be a sometimes ally but should be independent of Ivo. >Eggman: Wants to conquer Mobius with his forces and do HIS way. Even if it comes off as childish. >Mogul: Is OLD and has gotten to the point he's going to wait it out. He's got Immortality, Eggman & Sonic? They can and WILL die at some point. And that's when he'll take over. >Finitevus: He wants everything to burn. Mobius is too rotted. Sonic & Knuckles are idealistic fools, Eggman will eventually botch it up Mogul is too old and needs to die. Sure billions will perish but he's saving them from the eventual disappointment of this world. >Kukku: The greatest Air Armada in history is under his control.....but they are without a home. So he searches for the Babylon Garden, for his people are the true rulers of the sky! And eventually, the land. >Nagus: Master Ixis mage and manipulator, a thorn in everyone's side but he knows he doesn't have the resources yet. So he'll bid his time and maybe the Quickster & Robotnik will end each other! >Lyric: The Ancient One. Was there when the Echindas started to screw up now returning to remind them ANOTHER sin Knuckles has to clean up. But he sees Mobius in need of a makeover. Not as drastic as Finitevus no but Eggman had the right idea with the Roboticizer. Maybe it just needed the right mind behind it......
>>11885 Finitevus intrigues me. He is absolutely not wrong about Mobius having problems. A lot coming from his very own race. But what would he do if he did succeed? Just wait for what he considers corruption to appear again?
>>11889 Honestly cream herself is probably strong enough to beat metal Sonic, she was one of the main cast for a while there and held her own in the games she appeared in.
>>11885 >>11886 Other Villains >Starline: Let's say he survived getting humbled to oblivion by Eggman. Back to square one. I'd have hom lay low, reassess, may have an upgrade or two before becoming a better player of the GAME. Believes Mobius needs Order. Under his rule of course. >Zachary: Pure Chaos. He'll work with others as long as it suits his purpose of making life miserable for everyone. A wild card in every sense.
Now for the Good Guys >Sonic & the FF/Knuckles & the Chaotix: The heroes of Mobius. Msybe a little too idealistic but firmly believe to win everyone needs to work together. Sonic is like the wind while Knuckles doesn't want to repeat the MANY mistakes of his ancestors. >GUN & Team Dark: While the past isn't great, Tower has done an excellent job pf cleaning up the organization. Still, as basically SHIELD for Mobius, there's still lines to cross to save people. And there's still the Westwood's within GUN to deal with. >Lanolin's Restoration: A group that broke off after few failures(real & perceived) of the main good guys. Some are just tired of the same back & forth. While they'll be eternally appreciative of Sonic & the others, they feel a new way needs to combat the bad guys. No Sonic, No Acorns/FF, No GUN(distrust due to Eggman). Maybe they need to be a little harder. A little rougher. >Desert Raiders: One of the FF Teams fighting the fight, they too don't really care for the back & forth....but play the VERY dangerous game of playing both sides along with Egg Boss, Nephtys. No one side gaining a real advantage. So far, the duplicity is working but how long til someone starts questioning the lack of major victory on either side? >Sand Blasters: The other desert based FF Team and Jack's crew is more like Warlords than actual heroes. Sure, they're against Eggmam but how they treat enemies and former Robians can at times make him seem like the better choice. They're the group Lanolin DOESN'T want to fall into the trap of becoming.
