Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 12

Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 12 was the twelfth issue of the main Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. This is the 12th installment of the long running comic series, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Story One

 * "A Timely Arrival"

Sick of Sonic the Hedgehog foiling all of his plans, Dr. Ivo Robotnik builds a time machine disguised as a tree cutter in order to send Sonic far into the past. Sonic learns of the tree-cutting event and decides to blast to the rescue. Robotnik tricked him into getting shot back to Prehistoric Mobius, 7900 BC. While the Freedom Fighters try to get Sonic back to the present, Sonic meets his Ancestor Sonugh the Boghog, who showed him the boglands that he was actually a boghog, and his band of Prehistoric Freedom Fighters, too afraid to stand up to savage the Ivo Robughnik and nearby dinosaurs. Sonic learns of their fears of Robughnik and teaches them to present their first hedges for more freedom before Sonic was sent back to the present. Just then, back in the stone age, Sonugh and his friends were panting from their new leader, Prehistoric Sally.

Story Two

 * "Bold-Headed Eagle"
 * Trying to escape from the SWATbots, Sonic the Hedgehog falls into a nest for whom it belongs to an elderly eagle named Cyril. Cyril thinks his flock was captured and that he was the only final eagle there. Robotnik learned from Snively that the Mobian Mountains showed up many unroboticized hideouts. Both the two decided to capture the group with the Rambot. Back in the mountains, Sonic discusses that Cyril was giving up on his life. Being taught how to live, Cyril tries to fly, but faints at the practice. During his suffering, he sees his flock still alive, despite he proclaimed a lie to Sonic. Meanwhile, back at the nest, Robotnik arrives hopefully to crush Sonic, only for the once again flying Cyril to rescue him. The cliff begins collapsing underneath the weight of the Rambot, causing Robotnik's failure. Sonic soon remarked that Cyril was taken to Knothole with him.

Story Three

 * "The Lynx is a Jinx"
 * Sonic rescued two more animals that the SWATbots almost captured and returns them to the Freedom Fighters, only to find Larry Lynx, who was a Super Jinx (This means he delivers bad luck to anyone he ﬁnds near him). Once the tree branch broke apart, it fell onto every Freedom Fighter and put them into injury. Princess Sally refused to let Larry remain in Knothole due to his misfortunate reaction. Later, in the Creepy Caverns, Sonic and Larry saw something nine million eight hundred sixty-two times worse than they ever imagined: the SWATbots had captured the Freedom Fighters to roboticize. So the blue hedgehog starts sending Larry out to the SWATbots to unluckily communicate with them and destroy them. Sonic slid down for the gadget, but Robotnik spotted the hedgehog and comes to run him over. Unfortunately, Robotnik runs out of control on his car and failed his plan, thanks to Larry sending good luck to the Freedom Fighters. Back at Knothole, Larry beat Rotor Walrus fifty times playing chess, a way Sonic had proven that Larry's bad luck streak was broken.

Trivia

 * This issue introduces both Cyril and Larry Lynx. Both characters would later join with Sally's Trainees from the Princess Sally Miniseries to forge the Substitute Freedom Fighters in Sonic Live.


 * Since this comic takes place before issue #19 Night of a thousand Sonics, it is possible Robotnik could have sent Sonic into an alternate Zone by mistake, where Sonough was actually an other world version of himself, in leig of being his ancestor. This seems to be more likely since the revelation of the Xorda's Gene Bombs detonating on modern society long after Sonic would have traveled 40,000 years in the past, when animals did not possess human DNA (issue #125).
