Robotnik is one of the greatest villains ever.

[generator_rex]

So recently Snivly has been more rebelious towards his uncle and has once again made his move against the former Warlord of Knothole. In response to this Eggman gathers his Grand Masters for a... chat.





After reminding his peons of what he is capable of (Blowing them up with 1 word), Eggman unviels his latest series of enforcers.




After that he prepares to go hunting.



Wait did he say... Egg'Stache Flyer?


GREATEST SHIP EVER!!!

Ack! I was going to post this and had already scanned those! :D Well, the first two at least.


Do not mess with Dr. Eggman/Robonik. He will install 'kill you' switches in your cybernetics!

And yes, that is an Evil Cybornetic Orca among his legion commanders.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Technically, he was the Warlord of the Kingdom of Acorn and Mobotropolis; Knothole, not so much. ;)

Oh, what a peek! I can't wait to get to the comic shop for this...

[ninjapeps]

were those really roboticized Sonic et al or bots designed after them?

[q99]

3/4ths of them were bots modeled after the originals.

That is the real Sally :) I shall do a post on that in the near future.

[silverzeo]

I was going to post the build-up to that too... but then my scanner broke down...

[q99]

Glad it did, gives me something to do ^^

[nemryn]

Again? That trick never works!

[q99]

Oh, it's working pretty good this time!

[cypherfdp]

*snort* I would step in to deride the illustrator for using a Metal Sonic-esque design for the Knuckles robot, when in fact a Mecha Knuckles appeared in the original Sonic Advance, but it is clear that the lack of care put into this work overcomes any willingness to appeal to TRUE fans. *snort*

[lultam]

I love this design from the old Fleetway STC

Actually, the Mecha Knuckles design looks quite a bit like the one from Sonic R, which was produced *before* Sonic Advance.

But hey, I suppose it's easier to piss all over this. I mean, if you're going to attack it on the basis of not using a design that was basically a bunch of pixels, start attacking it for not using, say, the freaking Tails Doll design.

[q99]

I'm assuming the previous poster was joking, personally

[mrstatham]

Internet tone is difficult to discern, somehow. Could be sarcasm, could be deadly serious.

[cypherfdp]

that's the joke

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Incidentally, Tails Doll is already in play, as "Project: Deadly Cuddles" went into effect around issue 230...

[eyz]

The Egg-Stache Flyer!!!!! :D
Epic!

(...why didn't they put in Tails Doll on that panel next to the other mechas? he's an actual in-game canon robotic double of Tails...)

[juniperjazz]

Because Tails Doll is already in the comics. It was introduced recently during the aftermath of the Genesis arc as Cream saved it from the wreckage of New Mobotropolis. It's probably going to become important later.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

...whoops, beaten.

[silverzeo]

That Egg is SO cracked and rotten...

[crinos]

I love that look Eggman has when the door opens.

"Dark Egg Legion, I am dissapoint."

Also, Sally got Robotisized? When did this happen?

[q99]

At the end of the Genesis arc. Expect a post from me on it in the next few days :)

[sinisterlink]

It's nice how the robots are passing out tea and cookies to the people as they are being yelled at.

[crinos]

Say what you want about Eggman, the guy is a good host.

And a romantic and feminist if his bio in Sonic Heroes is to be believed.

[q99]

Well, they *are* important commanders :) If ones who, with one exception, he's not entirely happy with.

[crinos]

Also, the metal tails is much better looking than the Tails Doll.

[leoboiko]

Spent an uncomfortably long while trying to understand what Voice Over IP had to do with anything.

[crinos]

Also, I like the reactions of the Dark Legion members to Sally's robotization: Beauregard (Who is Bunnies uncle and is actually proud of his niece despite being on opposite sides), is horrified by what has happened to her and has taken off his hat out of respect.

And right next to him, Drago, former freedom fighter and complete monster, is laughing his ass off.

Makes me wish I followed this series, may have to pick up trades if they exist.

[q99]

Another Grand Master who one feels bad for is Bill the Platypus- actually a double agent freedom Fighter. On another page, Eggman's 'You are all replaceable' speech ends with Eggman's hand on his shoulder.


I don't think we've ever seen all the Grand Masters in one place before but they're a pretty interesting mix.


-Makes me wish I followed this series, may have to pick up trades if they exist-

SU is starting to get trades, I think. One of the first Shadow story is already out.

Oddly Flynn's run of the main comic hasn't.

So Eggman likes riding his own mustache? Ewww….
