Yeah, but this is how I imagine what will happen, Sonic will find a way to clear his name and maybe get an army of freedom fighters together. That or Tails will do it while Sonic serves as a rogue. They will find some way to disable the Chaos Tap which will stop power throughout the facility while Sonic cause the place to blow up and fall down. Everyone will pressume Robotnik crushed to death when the whole tower fell in on him, but the epilogue shows a large egg in the ruins and debris.

The next StC issues can be about either Sonic clearing his reputation or being hailed as a hero while fighting off some minor villains and Knuckles finding out more on Dr. Zachery and his Echidnan heritage. (Perhaps discovers Zachery is one of the Nocturne or something.) Later issues have Dr. Robotnik return good as new in his modern Eggman body, either his hatching is shown or not. Now being of sound mind and able body is ready to continue to take over Mobius the old fashion way.

At least thats how I would imagine StC-O can go.
