Sonic the Hedgehog #33 — "Chao Races and Badnik Bases, part 1"

[deh_tommy]

New arc, new adventures, new writer! From this point on, artist Evan Stanley takes over cowriting duties for the main book this issue, alternating with Ian Flynn every arc or two. With exams finally over for now, hopefully I can get these out regularly again.

E-123 Omega’s in pretty bad shape after getting reconstructed into and then torn out of a giant robot in the past two issues, and Tails can’t fix him because not only are Eggman’s blueprints encoded with a cipher they don’t understand, but since the E-100 series of robots have been discontinued for some time, parts are hard to come by. Fortunately, Sonic knows of an abandoned base near Windmill Village that could get them access to the Eggnet to decrypt the blueprints, and Rouge knows of a renowned collector in White Park’s Chao Racing circuit named Clutch who should have just the parts they need. With their plan settled, Sonic and Tails head for the Badnik base to look for Eggnet access while Rouge, Amy, Cream and Cheese are off to the Chao Race to get Clutch’s attention and then hopefully his patronage.

Clutch could be a good villain for a game spinoff focused on either the Chaotix or Team Dark.

Does he remind anyone else of Idris Elba’s Macavity, or is it just me?

[windleopard2]

Who's Macavity?

From the Cats movie

Ah...is that the legacy of Mister Tinker I see?

This was a really fun arc. It's always nice when someone at Sega remembers chao exist.

"YOU--! Are not anyone I've ever met before. Why am I being so dramatic about this?"
