This is something of a talk forum for what possibilities the Archie Sonic verse could've taken in the past. Now take heed. I'm not exactly a big fan of the non-game versions of Sonic, but I did find certain aspects fascinating from the story behind the Great War to the Suppression Squad, even if the retcons were annoying to me, I found most of the drama to be melodramatic, and now I think it's cancellation is only a matter of time. Regardless of my personal feelings, I'm welcome for a chat as long as there's no slash or any other irrational talk.

Now, I haven't seen every last comic, and the few I've seen were on YouTube, but as I've expanded my horizons, I feel that when you base a comic book largely on a serious show, it would make more sense if you took the seriousness in that and do what you can to modify it without downplaying it with a parody of King Kong among other things. Of course, those were different times. Archie and Sega weren't too entrenched just as the DCAU was in it's baby steps of showing drugs and such. So it's a little unlikely that anyone thought of giving Anti Sonic his own name until like over ten years.

Anyway, I think I can forgive most of the romantic and familiar struggles, especially when characters like Antoine and Geoffrey eventually did find the person they connected with the most for what it was worth, but I'm actually under the impression that fighting over the same person causes more discord than character, except in certain cases that aren't in the Archie Sonic verse.

On to something else, I always thought the idea of replacing Robotnik Prime with another counterpart was a little unproductive for lack of a better term. If I was there, I'd find a way to explain that the real Robotnik's atoms were reformed by the Orbital Platform and Roboticized for good measure. It just sounds more down to Earth having the Robotnik of Mobius Prime terrorizing that dimension instead of some copycat who's referred to being much worse because he had Egg grape chambers or something. One can even argue that the name Kintobor only works in a world where there's an "Ovi" which together are Ivo Robotnik backwards.

Upon thinking back on the universe's history and some fan-made alternations of it, I've been wondering what things would have looked if Snively either joined his uncle's enemies genuinely, formed his own Human/Overlander supremacist faction after the loss of his girlfriend and half-sister, or stayed with his people to find a new world for themselves. The last one is actually in a topic I made on my message wall which also include a Mobian-manned concentration camp for Overlander prisoners during the Great War.

For some time now, I've actually been thinking on what if Robotnik's origins were expanded and slightly altered. He can still be the same slippery chess master and opportunist that goes hand in hand with most of his incarnations, but maybe be a little more like his game counterpart in terms of acting at first for what he believed were the right reasons and admiring his intellectual progenitors. As for the Power Ring experiments by Nate Morgan, I'm not sure what to do with those, except maybe place them in a time where it was unlikely for a young Robotnik to join his project, but the Great War is another story. I've been thinking on what if he faked his own initial crimes and chance meeting with the Kingdom of Acorn and bided his time throughout the war to take his grab for power. Ensuring each side was well-defended, but the offensive power was coming to a slow pitch as practically every society on Mobius gets involved and many individuals from Kodos to the Overlord make war crime after war crime. When the duel between Maximilian and Charlemagne concludes, Robotnik reveals the truth of the war to many he deems will join him in his coup while making his actions more like they were for the greater good to prevent extinction and create a stronger Mobius under the rule of a visionary to fight any threats on either it's own soil or against the Xorda. The Mobius under his rule would thus be slightly less Skynet-like and more Sith-like for another lack of a better term. I'm just saying. Of course, some things like Shadow and such weren't made until years after those days. The speech I linked was just very amazing.

What does everyone else think? And please be civil among a great many other things.
