I can't even tell what sonic characters are official and what are people's OCs anymore, I was convinced they were OCs until the one with a comment about them being on the cover of something

LOL, they're characters from the IDW comics, all things considered they're pretty normal in terms of how weird comic characters can get

Of course from Archie there's Princess Sally Acorn

But Archie had winners like the villanous Mammoth Mogul

Sonic's Robot Uncle, Uncle Chuck

More obscure characters like Sleuth "Doggy" Dawg

And truly the peak of Random-Ass Archie Characters, there's the classic Knuckles' Family image

Are the ArchieSonic comics actually an 80's/90's syndicated cartoon? Episode 51: Villains team up (part 2)

Welcome back to my look at the ArchieSonic comic series, and how it shared a lot of the same story tropes as a typical ‘80s or ‘90s syndicated cartoon! We’re going to jump right back in from where I left off last time, so let’s continue looking at those times when the bad guys joined forces!

Episode 51: Villains team up (part 2)

Okay, okay, one note before we get back to it. It was pointed out to me that I overlooked one villain team up from before Ian’s time on the book, and that was when Robotnik and Dimitri joined forces to make life miserable for Sonic and Knuckles. 

You may remember me talking about this one in the body swap episode, and just how forgettable I thought it was. This just proves my point, because I completely forgot about it when I was putting together this list of villain team ups. 😛 Anyway, let’s move on!

After leaving Snively’s employ the Fearsome Foursome would continue to work with Drago and Sleuth Dawg in their future appearances in the comic, which included their kidnapping of Tommy Turtle. However they wouldn’t officially rebrand themselves as “The Destructix,” until Sonic #162, which is conveniently the story that started our next big villain team-up.

Thanks to the plotting of the mysterious A.D.A.M, both Mammoth Mogul and Ixis Naugus were freed from imprisonment and set their sights on the Crown of Acorns that was resting on the newly crowned Prince Elias’ head. It was a massive battle, with the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix vs Mammoth Mogul and the Destructix vs Ixis Naugus and the Arachnis children.

However during the battle Mammoth Mogul revealed that centuries ago he had been known as Ixis Mogul, the founder of the Order of Ixis to which Naugus belonged. Naugus immediately recognised Mogul as his Master, and both teams of villains then joined forces against the heroes of Mobotropolis.

Seeing that Mogul had now corrupted the Sword and Crown of Acorns, the knight Sir Connery made a heroic sacrifice to destroy both relics. Before the villains could recover from this setback, Eggman swooped in to prove himself the top villain again, capturing all of Mogul and Naugus’ combined forces with the intention of draining their life force to use as a power source for his city.

The Destructix were later freed from their confinement by the evil Dr. Finitevus, whose goal was to watch the “corrupted” world burn and a new utopia rise from the ashes.

Enlisting the Destructix, Fiona Fox, and Scourge (formerly Evil Sonic) as his enforcers, Finitevus set about corrupting Knuckles and turning into him the new Enerjak.

Scourge and his new pals were mainly just there to stop anyone messing with Fini’s plans. Enerjaknuckles actually caused a new villain alliance though, when he took it upon himself to magically remove the Dark Legion’s cybernetic upgrades. The Legion - Lien-Da especially - were outraged to have been violated in this way, and went to Dr. Eggman asking him to give them new cybernetics. Eggman agreed in return for their servitude, and the Dark Egg Legion was born.

Lien-Da didn’t get the top job though, because Dimitri had already sought out Dr. Eggman to try and get his help stopping Enerjaknuckles.

Our next villain team up came in Sonic #187.

Mammoth Mogul put a bounty on Sonic and pretty much every goon and henchman out there joined forces to attack him. Sonic and Sally did a valiant job of holding them off for as long as they could, but Sonic was eventually taken prisoner and Sally barely escaped with her life. She and Amy teamed up to rescue Sonic, but Mogul publicly denied any involvement in the kidnapping plot. The petty jerk had been messing with Sonic just because he could. :P

I believe this story also marked the first time that Nack worked alongside Bean and Bark, and the three of them would continue to work together going forward all the way up until the end of the Sonic Unleashed adaptation and the cancellation of the ArchieSonic series, rebranding themselves as “Team Hooligan”.

This team-up was even referenced in Sonic Mania, as the Heavy Magician boss disguised itself as all three of these characters. The only time after linking up in the comics that the three of them didn’t work together was during the Pirate Plunder Panic story arc in Sonic Universe, where Bean and Bark were sent to Blaze’s world without Nack.

They found another villain to join forces with in his absence though - the fearsome Captain Metal.

Our next team up is probably the biggest one that ever happened in ArchieSonic, as we got a year-long story arc out of it. After Sonic beat Eggman one time to many and the mad doctor completely lost his marbles…

…it warms my heart every time I see that. :) Anyway, after that happened Snively joined forces with the Iron Queen to rule the Eggman Empire together.

I’ve talked about this one before when I covered the most unique ArchieSonic stories, so I don’t think I need to bother rehashing it here.

Moving into the post-reboot era, we come to the “Eggman’s Dozen,” arc from Sonic Universe #83 - 86.

When his newly built Eggmanland and Metal Sonic were taken over by the Naugus twins and the Witchcarters, Eggman had to turn to his Egg Bosses - the leaders of the various factions of the Egg Army. Several of these bosses were returning from the pre-reboot canon: Ahklut the Orca (with a new Mobian character design), Battle Lord Kukku XV of the Battlebird Armada, Lord Mordred Hood and Conquering Storm. The rest of the bosses were post-reboot characters, several of which were introduced for the first time in this story: Nephthys the Vulture, Clove the Pronghorn, Thunderbolt the Chinchilla, Abyss the Squid, Axel the Water Buffalo and Maw the Thylacine. Eggman paired the bosses up to complete various tasks to help him take back his refinery/amusement park and take down the invaders, but unfortunately most of the bosses did not get along with their new partners and things went downhill quickly. Eggman eventually managed to convince them all to cooperate by taking Axel’s words to heart and using them himself:

The Naugus twins were defeated and Metal Sonic was restored to normal, and Eggman even got another Egg Boss out of this fiasco when Wendy volunteered her services to him. He had been wanting a full dozen bosses anyway, so he didn’t take much convincing.

I just picture Eggman getting off the phone after he’d summoned all eleven Egg Bosses for this mission and having the following conversation:

Eggman: Maw makes eleven. Eleven ought to do it, don’t you think?

Orbot: … (watching tv)

Eggman: …what, you think we need one more?

Orbot: … (watching tv)

Eggman: …you think we need one more.

Orbot: … (watching tv)

Eggman: …okay, we’ll get one more.

And our final villain team up was right near the end of the series, during the conclusion of the Sonic Unleashed adaptation. When Eggman found out about the Freedom Fighters’ secret plans to restore the broken world using the Gaia temples, he sent a strike force of Metal Sonic, the Witchcarters, and the Hooligans to Mobotropolis.

Together they were able to fight off the palace guards, Gemerl, and eventually even King Nigel.

With no other obstacles in their way and the Freedom Fighters occupied by the Tails Doll and the Battlebird Armada, the Hooligans were able to steal the Chaos Emeralds and the Gaia keys from the vault and pass them off to Metal Sonic, who made a clean getaway with them.

That’s all from me for today. Are there any other villain team ups that I missed? Let me know in the comments. There probably are - the comic went on for almost 25 years, I can’t cover everything that happened. I tried to concentrate on the major ones though. Next time I’ll be investigating episode 52: the “Rashomon” homage. You know, that thing where a group of characters can’t agree on what happened and each retell it from their own point of view. See you then!

The Destructix as drawn by Art Mawhinney are cute

Oh dear, look who's here to stop Locke from using his weapon. Also its interesting to see the Destructix here, sort of-redesigned from their earlier designs but not completely.

Also I think I forgot to mention, but Fiona Fox has a new “bad girl” design to her. Even her fur’s more of a darker colour, and to be frank I rather like this look!

Since I have recently caught a case of "wip-hell-initis" here are a few of the things that are currently or maybe not so currently in the works (which i will totally be finishing soon, yep, mhmm, definitely)

Yes that is Sleuth Dawg, yes he is talking to Fang. You can take a guess at whatever the hell he did or who else is there if you want to

2. A self indulgent Chaotix-Hooligan team-up (because who doesnt love writing stories about their two favourite teams of silly little guys?)

3. I like it when Fang has to face the fact that he actually really cares about Bean and Bark--- so sue me. Also massive angst hours are always a delight to write about

4. Bean angst! Because apparently i can't get enough of this little fucker. Oh right, and Bark and Fang are there too

5. It's exactly what the summary says. A different meeting between the Hooligans in a different universe. With added Mammoth Mogul!

6. Another self indulgent Chaotix-Hooligan team-up! This time with Bean and Espio at the forefront, because I liked their dynamic in the STH champions arc comics (and by dynamic i mean i thought their fight was really funny)

8. A Bean-and-Fang-centric fic, set in a universe where Bark joins the Freedom Fighters. It'll either be hurt/comfort or hurt/more hurt. we'll see where it goes, I guess

9. Bean and Bark angst, always a favourite in my book! I guess I just love making my favourite bois suffer horribly. Set in the same universe as #8, probably make it a series because I have many thoughts and ideas about it.

Aaaaaand that's a wrap! Not sure when I'll finish any of these, I know the comic (#1, obviously) is probably going to come first because I'm more of an artist than a writer, but I suppose we'll see what my adhd-ass brain decides on

Are the ArchieSonic comics actually an 80's/90's syndicated cartoon? Episode 62: Stuck in an elevator (part 1)

Welcome back to my look at the ArchieSonic comic series, and how it shared a lot of the same story tropes as a typical ‘80s or ‘90s syndicated cartoon! The last few episodes have had a common theme - first the characters were stranded in the ocean, then they were stranded in the desert, and after that they were stranded in the snow. So what have we got this time?

Episode 62: Stuck in an elevator 

I mean, being stuck somewhere and being stranded somewhere are pretty much the same thing, aren’t they? But sadly there’s not really any great examples of this very specific topic in ArchieSonic. In fact the only times I can think of off the top of my head where an elevator was even shown was in the non-canon Sonic Colours adaptation in Sonic #219…

…and the times that Robotnik used a sneaky escape elevator to get away when Sonic had him cornered, such as in Sonic #38. 

So yeah, short one this week huh? If there’s any instances of being trapped in an elevator I missed, let me know in the comments! Next time-

Just kidding, I wouldn’t be doing my due diligence if I didn’t try a little harder to squeeze some blood from this metaphorical stone. So I went to TV Tropes to see what I could find on this topic. And sure enough, I hit paydirt:

So instead of shaking our heads and tutting at the lack of elevators in ArchieSonic, let’s broaden the topic to cover enemies and/or rivals being locked in a room together, which I feel is in the same spirit.

Our first example is one I’ve covered before: Sonic #24, when Snively, Robotnik, and the Freedom Fighters were all abducted by the alien collector, Carheem of Wheet. 

I don’t think there’s any need to retread this one, as I’ve brought it up a number of times for various episodes. Let’s move on. 

The next example is a very brief one from Sonic #48. Sonic had been arrested after being framed for the murder of Princess Sally, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Devil’s Gulag.

While he was being transported to the dreaded prison, Sonic found that he was not the only future inmate being taken there. Also along for the ride was Sleuth Dawgy Dawg (no, I’m not kidding on the name), a former intelligence operative who had worked for Uncle Chuck’s spy network but had betrayed the Freedom Fighters when Robotnik made him a better offer.

Mmmm, steak. …huh? Er no, I’m not tempted to go work for Robotnik, what are you even talking about? I think the better question is why was Sleuth still wearing a swatbot disguise when he was en route to the Gulag, considering he’d been arrested 6 issues prior? You’d think the Freedom Fighters would have had time to confiscate the tech and give him a change of clothes, for crying out loud. Anyway, the plane got shot down by swatbots before Sonic and Sleuth could say anything else to each other, so like I said, it was a pretty brief example.

Don't worry, Sonic was fine. He escaped went on to do his best Harrison Ford impression.

Next up is Knuckles #18, an issue in which we saw Knuckles also go to prison. But unlike Sonic he went there willingly, to interrogate Kragok of the Dark Legion. In the previous issue Knuckles had met Tobor, his several times removed great grandfather, a Guardian like himself. Tobor’s tenure as Guardian had been brief, as not long after he was charged with protecting Echidnaopolis, the Dark Legion had escaped the Twilight Zone they’d been imprisoned in and went on the attack.

During the battle Tobor and the then-current leader of the Dark Legion, Moritori Rex, had been transported to the Floating Island and were both buried in the rubble of a collapsing ruin (don’t ask why Echidnapolis wasn’t on the Floating Island at this time, it’s a long story). Not long afterwards Tobor’s father Hawking had arrived and accidentally rescued Moritori, mistaking him for Tobor due to him being badly injured and disfigured.

Tobor had eventually managed to dig his way out of the rubble and exiled himself from the Floating Island in shame. 

Did Tobor bother to let his family know that they’d been infiltrated by a leader of the Dark Legion? No, no he did not. Instead he just bummed around on the surface of Mobius for several hundred years until he one day spotted the Floating Island overhead and decided to go check it out, leading to him meeting Julie-Su and then Knuckles. After hearing Tobor’s story, Knuckles decided he wanted more information about it. So he went to interrogate Kragok, who had been incarcerated since Dimitri’s defeat back in Knuckles #9.

Indeed, Knuckles has a massive pair of b- …er, knuckles. Ahem. Anyway, Kragok didn’t want to cooperate, so Knuckles threw out the good guardian approach and switched to bad guardian instead.

…okay, putting aside the AGAB line for the moment to ask something a bit more disturbing - what the hell, Echidna Security Team? Why would a dangerous prisoner be allowed to keep a mechanical arm that can shoot lightning bolts? You would think that when he was arrested that his arm would have been removed and replaced with a non-lethal prosthetic instead, surely? Or hell, just let him manage with only one arm - it’s not like he’s going to need two arms that much inside a prison cell. Or maybe you could rig some sort of EMP field in the cell to disable the arm? I’m just spit-balling here, but anything seems better than letting a prisoner - who I might remind you was the leader of a terrorist organisation - keep a dangerous weapon in his cell.

Anyway, what happened next?

Buggered if I know. A non-specific thing happened and somehow Knuckles and Kragok found themselves trapped in the Twilight Zone - the Dark Legion's former prison. At least at this point Knuckles was able to overpower Kragok and forced him to talk, under the threat of having his face blown off with his own arm.

And what did Knuckles learn from this?

Honestly, not much that hadn’t already been said by Tobor. The main takeaway was that Tobor being replaced wasn’t a freak accident, but actually had been planned by Moritori Rex. This explains how Tobor’s family hadn’t been able to tell that Moritori was an imposter - Moritori had been able to learn everything about Tobor prior to their battle by spying on him for years. We also learned that Moritori was Kragok’s father, but this was later retconned to say that Moritori was actually Kragok’s grandfather instead. Or I guess you could argue that Kragok had just been lying to Knuckles about his parentage, that works too. Anyway, after the exposition dump Kragok and Knuckles managed to escape back to the real world through a portal, but Kragok was intercepted by Tobor (the real one), who yeeted both himself and Kragok right back into the Twilight Zone.

Our next two characters who were locked in an elevator room together are Grand Chief Lupe of the Wolfpack and Queen Hathor of the Felidae, leaders of rival Soumerican clans who had a long history of mistrust and violence caused by territory disputes and both tribes trying to claim ownership of a gemstone called the Ancient Onyx. Dr Eggman’s Dark Egg Legion had previously tried to get their tribes to go to war against each other by stealing the Ancient Onyx, but Sonic, Sally, and Big the Cat had helped to reveal the true villains and negotiate a peaceful co-existence for both tribes.

In Sonic #237 Dr Eggman sent Mecha Sally to abduct both leaders, hoping to undo Sally's efforts by causing each tribe to blame each other for their leader's disappearance and go to war.

Not long afterwards Team Fighters arrived in the Wolf Pack Nation and were informed of Lupe’s abduction by two of her former freedom fighters, Leeta and Lyco. They joined forces to investigate and soon came across Hathor in the jungle, fleeing for her life from Eggman’s forces.

“Emissary” Hathor then explained how she and Chief Lupe had been held captive together. 

So yeah, while Lupe and Hathor were still rivals and there was still a lot of mistrust between their two tribes, they were able to begrudgingly put their differences aside to work together on an escape plan. Team Fighters, Hathor, and Leeta and Lyco were able to rescue Lupe and “the Queen,” giving us one of my favourite lines in ArchieSonic:

Sorry, Drago. This queen did not slay. 🙁

Unfortunately Tumblr’s image posting limit means that I’m going to need to make a part two for this episode. I'm attempting to upload both parts at the same time, so if you don't see the other one then treat yourself to a little refresh. :)

[the-light-of-chaos]

After all the fucked up shit that went down in Kenders' last several issues, it honestly feels so good to see a big, dumb fight again. And it's in the early days of Ian's run, no less.

Yup, this big dumb fight is about as big and dumb as I had hoped

Really love that Fiona is making Drago eat shit AGAIN though
