Technically, the fans can go ahead and believe Uncle Chuck's Sonic's biological uncle and Sonic's World still called Mobius. I believe the reason why Sega had these mandates is because they really don't want another comic lawsuit from one of Archie's crew happening again in a few decades time. They allowed Archie to have certain freedoms to do with Sonic and because of that Ken Penders got greedy with what he can do and this made Sonic, or very least Archie Sonic look bad, and if Sonic looks bad, Sega looks bad.

I've catched up from #252-#281 as well as Sonic Universe and while the comics have not confirmed Uncle or Mobius, it hasn't directly denied it as well. Uncle Chuck says he is "uncle to everyone" but did not say he was not the uncle to Sonic. Since Post-SGW didn't grew up in Mobotropolis yet Uncle Chuck is the only blue hedgehog who did, then what other possible reason for Sonic to travel to Mobotropolis at the time of invasion other than concern for the well being of his family? It could be though Sega doesn't want to have any reasonable weaknesses so better off an orphan with no family commitments than a parent to be concerned over, Sonic Underground prooves other on that.

In #252 Sega was not pleased for Classic Eggman to show up in a flashback which supposivly takes place during the Genesis/Mega Drive era of Sonic's world. Archie obviously wanted Dr. Julien Robotnik to be replaced with Classic Dr. Eggman, but still have him the very same character as Modern Dr. Eggman who was RoboRobotnik. Post-SGW Robotniks are the same person now.

But while Sega can be stupid, Archie can be a bit clever. In SSD#12 "Classic Eggman" was kept in the shadows and in SU#83-#84 Dr. Eggman kept his blast shield over his Egg-Mobile until Naugus trapped his body in crystal. Eggmans mustache was less spikier and had no goggles and you could just see the yellow on his uniform in the blast shield but other than that kept to the rules. "Classic Sonic" looked a little modern and had green eyes but thats excusable. These scenes were flashbacks taking place around Game Gear classic games.

I think Sega really wants to give the impression that Modern Sonic has always been around and honestly that is stupid because we wouldn't of had Sonic Generations. In my oppinion "Classic Sonic" is simply Modern Sonic in his younger days. Modern Sonic is 15 in age, I'd say Classic Sonic is around 10-12. A child drunk with super speed and a "bad guy" to fight against.

Other policies Sega had were "Sonic must not have romantic interests", "Sonic can never cry" and "Sonic must always win" Jeeze Sega let Archie do their job and give character to Sonic. Have Sonic behave however you like in your games, just let Archie do their own thing with their own version of Sonic on their own Mobius. If you make a character to perfect then that character will be dull and uninteresting. Even Superman isn't as popular these days because he is near flawless. And while I ship SonAmy, I think Sonally was Archie's own thing, and Archie comics are well familiar with love triangles (Archie, Betty and Veronica) so a Sonic, Sally and Amy love triangle would be interesting.

Scourge was my favourate of Ken Penders characters so I hope he'll find some way back or replaced. I have my own idea how our favourate green hedgehog can return.
