Early Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon

A 1993 issue of Sonic the Poster Mag contained images of an upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon from DiC, although the concept and artistic style didn't match either of the shows later produced. The show featured a "Freedom Team" of animal characters similar to the [{Freedom Fighters]] of Sonic the Hedgehog(SatAM), while the artistic style was more irreverent, more in line with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Further the characters were dressed in a "hip" early-90's style, with sunglasses, open sports jackets, and large hair. One notable absence is Tails, which likely indicates the show was conceptualized before Tails made his first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
