Dr. Eggman of the Eggman timeline would see to it that Sonic is dead. I doubt Sega will depict the death of Eggman timeline Sonic nor will we know if Eggman Timeline Sonic grew up to his modern apperance when it happened.

However between Sonic Mania and his expected death, Sonic will time travel to the future where he will meet Modern Sonic of the Sonic timeline as seen as Classic Sonic in the trailer.

If Sonic '17 is about Dr. Eggman reseting the timeline in his favour, I believe Sonic Mania could take place where the Mega Drive games should be and that Classic Sonic in Sonic '17 is the same Sonic from Sonic Mania. So Sonic '17 takes place somewhen after Sonic Lost World and Sonic Mania is a stand-alone game because of Dr. Eggmans time traveling shenanigans.

I'll reconsider it all depends how much I missed the mark on the story. Maybe the timeline is shared in between Mania And Project Sonic you reckon? Yes. I believe Project Sonic 2017 story will start off in the main timeline where Sonic Lost World, Sonic Generations and all the past Sonic games exist. Let's call the canon timeline we have the "Sonic timeline".

It could be possible Dr. Eggman use time travel shenanigans to erase his past failures with Sonic and create the ideal timeline for himself, as depicted with giant robots destroying a city as seen in the trailer. This can be called the "Eggman timeline".

I don't know when exactly Sonic Mania will take place during the classic era (Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3&K and maybe 4 and Pocket count as classics as well, if Pocket is not stand-alone.) but I do believe it does take place in the classic era of the Eggman timeline and that it is this Sonic that we see in the 2017 trailer.

I believe the story of Project Sonic 2017 will be Sonic trying to restore the Sonic timeline to how it was. Pretty much as I almost predicted. I wonder if Sonic will have time travelling abilities in this game. I don't know, but (while it is the most unlikely part of my Sonic '17 estimation) could be possible the Time Stones are involved.

Sonic 4 was left unconcluded and while Sonic did damaged Death Egg mk.II in the end of Episode 2 he didn't destroy it. So it could be possible Eggman may have re-commandeered it and restored it as his own time machine to change the past with.

It's either that or Dr. Eggman creates a Chaos Emerald powered time machine and Chaos Controlled his way to the past to guide his past self to destroy Sonic and create the Eggman timeline.

All in all, I think it be a nice change to collect the Time Stones instead of Chaos Emeralds. And merelt having the Time Stones is enough to change timelines while time travelling with Chaos Control you have to do it manually.
