All I care to say in here is this "Eggman" is a fucking twat. He looks like a twat, named like a twat, and for all I could care is a huge dumb ass twat. Personally whoever wrote him into being Robotnic I think had twat all up in his brain to come up with something as twatish as that twat Eggman.

Fucking twat.


And yes, I tried to say twat as many times is I could.

Has it even been established that there are two Robo-Robotniks (cause that's the first I've heard of that), or is this just more of Ian's 'I say it, it's FACT! Get over it!' moments?

More of that.

As for what Blaster posted... The Robo-Robotniks in that special had nothing to do with the dark-blue Robo-Robotnik. They didn't even have a significant role in that issue.

If you really want to know what Ken had planned, you can go over to his message board and read it.

I agree…SATAM Robotnik is where it’s at. >:^D

Origin of Robo-Robotnik#1 (Issue#19)

Robo-Robotnik#1 came from a Terminator knock off universe. Complete with Leather Jackets and “I’ll be Back” type puns. He was destroyed, body blown to pieces, at the end of the issue.

Origin of Robo-Robotnik#2 (Issue#22)

Robo-Robotnik#2 comes from a M25YL variant future where Robotnik lost End Game and Sonic went on to be King of Mobius. Sonic is seen in the issue with kids, Sally is the mother. It is later revealed that Robo-Robotnik MK II eventually regains his body and destroys Sonic and the royal family.

The Robo-Robotniks in that special had nothing to do with the dark-blue Robo-Robotnik

The Robo-Robotnik who appeared in SONIC #19 is indeed the same one that appeared in SONIC #22. My concept for the character was vastly different from the original Robotnik in that the character utilized technology that allowed itself to grow, adapt and morph into different versions. If you refer to the SONIC LIVE! Special, you'll see yet another variant of the same character, which I thought of as the Ultimate Version

If I understand Mr. Penders correctly. The gaint mech Robo Robotnik was the “Ulitmate Version” of “Robo Robotnik”. Okay. But, then the issue clearly shows Robo Robotnik and his “different versions” are building himself. Every single Robo Robotnik on page is connected to the “Ulitmate Version”. They’re the same character(s). All 200 of them… :^\

This version was featured in segments whenever the future was referenced throughout several of my KNUCKLES and M:25YL stories. Yet another possible version of Robo-Robotnik was introduced in SONIC SUPER SPECIAL #7 in the form of Dr. Ian Droid, my character from THE LOST ONES.

Okay…so now there are THREE Robo Robotniks!?!? My Gosh….when is it going to stop!?!

Thankfully this “Ultimate Version” never saw fruition and was ultimately sidelined by Ken himself. Ken was going to use the “Ultimate Version” to attack Knuckles in the future M25YL stories. But that never happened. Instead, all we got was Green Knuckles using force lightning to kill Robotnik in the future. So much for Robo Robotnik saga.

If you really want to know what Ken had planned, you can go over to his message board and read it.

What Ken PRINTED in the comic verses what he INTENDED over 15 years ago are two very different things.

Ken’s version(s) of Robo Robotnik were flawed from the get go. The lack of communication between Ken and Karl only compounded the problems further when they were writing the characters(s). Ian is just trying to make since of the mess he was given…which thankfully will be made clear when the Sonic Encyclopedia hits shelves later this year.

Sonic Encyclopedia...? Written by IAN? No thanks...This will give him another excuse to add more retcons and revisionist history.

Blah blah blah, too lazy to paste all the text.

Ken's plans may have been convoluted, but seeing as to how they were never properly executed, the continuity never truly suffered from it. Ian is just disregarding previous canon, and that is what I have a problem with.

I don't mind retcons that do away with ridiculous OOC nonsense, but this is a retcon with no real purpose but to push the author's personal agenda.

[spoonfullvon]

just to let you know flynn killed off lien da

[John Roberts]

Who?

[masterblaster]

Lien Da is NOT dead, her face just exploded.

And this happens in 211 not 210.

Time for a new Archie Issue Topic!!!

A queen named "Regina"? How creative. ('Regina' is Latin for 'queen'.)

I just bought Sonic #210 (there was a long line at the checkout in the grocery store, so I checked out the comic rack... for some reason I still buy a Sonic comic when I see it on the rack). I see that this is actually worse than I thought. Her name is "Regina Ferrum"... which is Latin for... "Iron Queen". (Well, "Queen Iron", but whatever.) Groan. Why give her two names that just mean the same thing?

It's also probably not even good Latin. I would translate "Iron Queen" as "Queen of Iron", which is "Regina Ferri". I'm guessing they didn't do that 'cause either 1) they didn't know Latin and didn't care, or 2) then it just sounds Italian.

Probably both.

dude i have never in my life seen the comic in a rack in a grocery store.

[furrykef]

Really? That's where I first found it and almost always where I bought it.

[spoonfullvon]

just goes to show how badly the comic is doing huh?

[Inhibitor]

Btw, Nicole is a bad guy now, right? :/

You may call her 'Iron Nicole' from now on.

Rofl.

I know Kroger used to carry the comic book, that is where I first saw the comic(about 13 years ago).
