If you had used the Metal Virus idea in the Archie comics, is this an event we could have eventually seen play out? Scruffymatt One of my favourite parts of IDW Sonic #29 was that Eggman got taken down by Froggy - I laughed so hard at that! That said, I was a little disappointed we didn't actually get to see Eggman finally getting a taste of his own medicine. My question is: in previous drafts of this issue's script, was there ever a version where we would have gotten to see Eggman fully transformed into a zombot? What about Amy, Tails and Espio? AfroLuffyX One missed opportunity That I thought In The Zombot Story arc are Zombots fusing with one another to form grotesque and Monsters versions of them, Was this idea strap during the planning stages of the Arc? tKoS So I guess my question is: How were the Destructix able to travel outside of Mobius Prime with what appears to be a normal Warp Ring? And at the risk of sounding like a double question, what ever happened to Scourge's Super Charged Warp Ring? Basically I'm just asking for some clarification on the Warp Rings. Thanks! Andrew D. You’ve mentioned multiple times certain Sonic games being noncanon. Do you know a list of all games that are canon and noncanon? Diane W. Team Dark are not friends and are not affiliated with GUN in the modern games and IDW comics. Which brings me to this question; is Shadow still carrying out Maria’s wish to protect humanity and giving them a chance to be happy, or does he not care about Maria or her wish because he hates humanity according to SEGA? Sorry if I sounded a bit cynical there, I’m just still bothered by SEGA’s ideal characterisation of Shadow. Mechanist Gamma (Ko-Fi) Ive got a question when it comes to Ians view on the Sonic timeline - with Team Sonic Racing, does it come before or after Sonic Forces? If its after, will Team Sonic Racing be referenced at any point in IDW as taking place between stories? Saturn Flicky The JP SA1 guides say Tikals era was 3000 years ago. Battle says Emerl is 4000 years old. Chronicles says both were 4000 years ago. When you said Chronicles is non-canon, is this the official word from Sega? Should its timeline change & Echidna/Gizoid connection be disregarded?
