Even though I don't have sonic universe 48, or the issues they came before it. One thing I can say, and that is "what side are the sand blast freedom fighters truly on?"

Now some will defend them as being rebellious/rogue/anti-established freedom fighters, kind of like being the Stone Cold Steve Austin of freedom fighters. Or the Aces and 8's of freedom fighters. If you're a wrestling fan you'll understand were I'm getting these references from. However as far as they go I see something else in their future.

You see when we first met Bunnie's uncle and his dark egg Legion, what stuck out to me was the fact that this DEL seems less threatening and more at times different than the other Legions. I mean their leader/GrandMaster is I guess you could say a little more sympathetic then the other grandmasters. Now what is this have to do with the sand blast freedom fighters? You're about to find out.

Now I understand Ian Flynn likes to try to be different, he likes to try new things. And if you read the current story arc in the main comic you'll see what I mean. But I have this feeling that he's going to do something that may surprise readers and fans and may not. You see what I thinks going to happen maybe not in this story arc in sonic universe, but in a future story arc down the line, I have a feeling and I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that Ian Flynn's coming up with an idea/story that's going to cause the Baron's Legion and the Sand blast freedom fighters to switch sides.

Yep! You read that right. And here is why I feel that will happen, because when I see and I know I'm not the only one, but when I see the sand blast team, I see a team that if given the opportunity to switch sides they would do it in a heartbeat, no questions asked. And at the same time I could see the Baron's Legion switching sides because of that. In other words what I see happening in the near future and again I could be wrong, is the sand blast freedom fighters becoming the sand blast dark egg Legion, and at the same time the Baron's Legion becoming freedom fighters. I just feel that's in the works I just feel it.

Now again, as I mentioned at the beginning, I do realize several fans would defend the sbff for who they are. But I think you will agree that what I've talked about here is not a matter of how is just a matter of when, and I feel that when will be coming up very soon.

And that's all I have to say about it. Please leave your responses respectively and thank you for reading.

I half agree.

The only real disagreement is that they hated Robians so much that even those who were once Robians the Sand Blast Freedom Fighters hate. I don't think they'd want to be Legionized.

[PuffinGrandeur]

They would never work for Eggman, and Beauregard is unable to leave. Their entire premise is wrapped up in hatred of Dr. Eggman so bad it borders on the insane.

[Janus]

I don't know. I think the Sand Blast Freedom Fighters will probably remain the way they are. Maybe Flynn will have them team up with the main cast at some point to defeat a mutual foe such as Eggman, but I can't really see them switching sides. Nor can I see Beauregard's Dark Egg Legion changing sides either. The last time that he is seen is when he and Bunnie have parted ways. The only thing that might make him switch sides is if Bunnie can somehow convince him. Otherwise, he will probably remain a tragic character.

*nods* They didn't -want- to be Legionized, but were forced into it after the Sand Blasters remained hostle (even after they were de-roboticized). It was a matter of survival and Eggman was the only one willing to take 'em in.

Personally, I hate Jack the Rabbit. I hate him even before I read his debut issue. He's selfish, xenophobic, self-centered, psychotic, and arrogant. He's the reason why the Badlands chapter exists. I get the fact the he's suppose to be the character that you're suppose to hate like Geoffrey, but good grief, the writers (Both Karl Bollers and Ian Flynn) made him so hateful that I can't stand him. It's a shame that the main Sand Blasters aren't that bad. Their designs are nice to look at and have decent personalities. It's a shame that they have to follow this scoop of mud. I hope he dies either nobly or cheaply, or written out of the comics.

One can only hope that Jack will either be gone or have a massive change in character. I can't see the latter happening though.

*nods* I can't see that happening either. Geoffrey was a jerk; Jack goes waaay beyond that.
*just wants Jack to "go"...*
