The last game to seriously call him Robotnik was that crappy RPG Bioware shat out (Sonic Generations called him Robotnik once as a joke). They're not going to go back to Robotnik, get over it.

Jesus that's a lot of new Sonic friends.

Not really? They just look like generic side-characters, the kind of characters who would just be some human in the Adventure series.

Nah, they were skin-tone for a while. I can't remember when they changed to blue, post SA2 maybe?

I'd like to remind everyone that iirc, Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) was created based on the results of an official online poll that asked "which Sonic character should get their own game?"

So we did this to us.

And it's hilarious.

I voted for the Eggman game. :colbert:

Yeah, Bristow passed away after Heroes. Since they had to re-cast Eggman they just decided to drop the entire voice cast and replace them with the 4Kids cast from the Sonic X dub. As you said he was the only good voice in the cast so when they decided to drop 4Kids and re-cast again, he was the only one kept on.

yeah in the fleetway comics sonic goes homicidally insane when he becomes super sonic so i guess that's the aftermath of that. no idea why he doesn't give a gently caress about the pig though

From my vague memories of the comic, I think the pig was a robot spy.

Do we actually know how old he is? I know the Heroes manual had ages for everyone playable but I dunno about the villains.

The Sonic Heroes manual unfortunately lists himas "Age unknown".

It does however say that he's a "romanticist, feminist and a self-professed gentleman".

The games stopped taking themselves seriously and adopted a more Saturday morning cartoon style back in Colours, I believe Sega brought in some of the guys behind Happy Tree Friends to take over writing duties after Unleashed.

There is also a Sonic comics Humble Bundle, which looks like it includes almost everything since the reboot. Only things that look to be missing are the Sega/Capcom crossover (which was crap) and currently running storylines.
