Y'know what, I think that Sega is using Sonic Boom to test character interaction for the Modern Sonic games. The comedy in Sonic Lost World and Sonic Colors was well received (for the most part), and Sega of America said that Sonic Boom is going to be comedy oriented. Or maybe Sonic Boom could also be a way to give the current writers for Sonic more experience with the characters while advertising in the process. Sonic Lost World's Deadly Six were flat mainly because Sega said "here is the basic idea, have fun!", so the writers didn't have a lot to go off of that time while Colors had a lot of direction in that department. I can live with these design changes for the show (if the designs are even going to be changed period) as long as the character interaction and overall tone of the show (the most important aspects IMO) fits with Sonic the Hedgehog as a series and as a whole.
