 * He's a Sonic X character, he's just as exclusive to that series as Cosmo is despite fans like them both to be canon.
 * One of Sega's mandates to Archie comics is that Sonic can't be too expressive of certain emotions. He cannot cry nor be too angrys. Since it is severe negative emotions that draw on negative powers of the Chaos Emeralds and these mandates, just unlikely Sonic will ever be Dark or Dark Super Sonic.

The very least I hope that Hyper Tails and Hyper Knuckles are still a thing in Post-SGW and no mandate that only boy-hedgehogs can super transform. Or the very least they have super transformations than just a super-shield (Though for Tails I admit a super shield is better than little yellow flickies.)

I imagine Post-SGW Super Tails should at least have a dragonball like yellow aura and Super Knuckles have a pink dragonball like aura while both have no other physical changes other than red eyes. Wow, Archie, that's just sad. Sonic can't be so upset or something?! YOU SHOWED HIM TRANSFORM AND ATTACK HIS FRIENDS IN A BLIND RAGE! What the heck!? If the Chaos Emeralds were there at the time, we'd have Dark Sonic the Werehog, seriously. (I don't know how I'd react to that) Archie, I am disappointed.
