Adventure Time's episodes may seem random but there is actually an underlying connection between every single episode. I hope this show does something like that. I didn't mean Ken Penders made the design. I meant the reason for changing Knuckles's design is because of Ken Penders. He won the dumb lawsuit, at least with Archie, or something, and is on his way writing THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES (at least I'm pretty sure, I saw it on the Ken Penders forums). Now Sega, or whoever, is just being stupid and changing Knuckles to avoid further conflicts with our great pal Ken. (At least, that's my hunch, why else would they change him?)

I don't think that changing the appearance of knuckles was anything to do with Penders. Sonic and Amy weren't affected by Penders and they're looking different.
