I have a feeling Metal Sonic's story will play into the Climax of the arc, his mini was just pointless otherwise unless I missed something.

 

Also, I kind of want them to break the Annual up and slot the stories in the chronological of the series for the inevitable Hardcover Collection(s).

Yeah, what's up with that Metal Sonic story. Can someone explain?

Also, what does having a Starline figure in Eggman's collection mean? Eggman wants to control him?

[Daith]

Essentially that Eggman sees him as just someone else to control and Starline has no hope of becoming his equal. I mean it was not only one of him but essentially a Metal version of him. So Eggman sees he could build a bot of his own design to replace the inferior flesh version. At least that's one way to see it.

 

Also was it just me or did Eggman's Tails model look a lot like Tails Man from the Mega Man crossover.

Well, I think it has a bit to do with Metal Overlord Metal Sonic from Sonic Heroes thinking HE was the real Sonic, and our Sonic is his copy.

Now, I think it's a little up to interpretation, but it looks like Metal is angry that he keeps losing to "inferior" warriors.  He wants to get stronger.  The metal virus seems to make organics stronger, from Metal's point of view.  But...it doesn't work for him.  Metal can't use the virus to get stronger.  What's more, his stronger "copy" is only going to get stronger BECAUSE of the virus.  Sonic will be everything Metal is and more.  Which makes Metal...just a weak reflection of Sonic...which is depressing.

 

This might get clarified later, or it might not, but this is my reading of it.

Well this story is finally over, and they didn't pull the cheap "send Silver back in time to stop it before it started" like I was dreading. But i knew they wouldn't, I checked the upcoming solicits.

[Daith]

Though I feel they knew it was ending with a whimper when Silver says it was Anti-Climatic in story.

I like your reasoning. Really hard to tell if it's the right one though.

On Starline, all the other figures are robotic looking anyway. I'd get it if Eggman had figures of everybody so he can feel in control but showing a figure of himself (getting the head knocked off too) kinda messed it a bit.

Read the ending too. So... sounds like that arc in Archie comics before too.

This is pretty interesting:

 

[Confuzor]

I been watching his vids for a bit now. Real good stuff

[▲ndrusi]

I love Belle and I'm terrified of what horrible thing is going to turn out to be her backstory.

[Daith]

My guess is she was made by

Spoiler

Mr. Tinker while he was the dominant personality

[Confuzor]

Spoiler

but why would she end up at an abandoned base instead of the village Tinker was living in?

Bravo on this comic for making me give a damn about Chao Racing.

[Daith]

Spoiler

Well why would she be looking for her dad/creator in an egg base? I mean its possible that it couldve a tech genius that Eggman has squirreled away somewhere, but it feels like Belle is potentially someone that Tinker could have come up with and maybe Belle is naive enough to not separate the two personalities from each other yet. Maybe at a very slim chance, she only knows Eggman by reputation and, despite his vanity plastering his face on every other creation of his, Belle has yet to encounter an actual picture of him to connect the dots?

Or perhaps she does know and shes trying to reawaken His Tinker side.

Also Bad Guys has spoiled the mystery of our hooded figure.

Spoiler

its Dr Starline with his new Tricore glove. Found it interesting that the brought in another game concept with the three core types from Sonic Heroes and gave it new life within the story.

[Daith]

Double post, didnt realize the latest issue hit this week. So in the character introductions Belle is listed as Belle the Tinkerer and even says If theres something that could use a little tinkering, Im your girl.

My idea seems pretty likely right about now.
