'cus if you mess around with time, you'll end up with alternate realities. So if Dr. Eggman has rewritten history to conquer the world and the Modern Sonic in the game is from the default timeline, classic Sonic also being from the default timelines past, then the created timeline may have it's own Sonic. I dug deep into the recesses of this thread and had a random idea. If the Sonic Forces timeline had a whole NEW Sonic, I could easily imagine a personality for the dude.

He'd probably look somewhat like our normal Sonic, but a lot scruffier or... rugged? Perhaps have his shoe buckles (if he has them) be replaced with resistance symbols. I'd bet he'd be the leader of said resistance, so for personality, he'd be a lot more serious and robotic than our normal Sonic. Make him a slight contrast to normal Sonic for some good buzzkill humor and maybe be a little bit of a foil for normal Sonic. I'm just gonna call the dude SF Sonic right now.

SF Sonic would have a good leader personality like Sonic, but he'd lost the joking side a long time ago due to the... severity of his situation. He wouldn't make light of a problem until it was contained.

Or maybe I'm just insane and thinking too much into a simple theory.
