There has been various discussions on forums on characters we'd like to see in Sonic Boom. My top two are Chaotix Crew as a sort of rival team to Sonic's, in a sense of antics and do-goodery and Rouge the Bat whom i can imagine befriending Shadow and Burnbot to form the new Team Dark.

As for Shadow, he's already in Sonic Boom.
