Commander Abraham Tower

I can't believe Commander Tower had a grudge against Shadow for fifty years. That's a long time. And then when he finds out the truth at the end, he then realizes that he blamed Shadow fifty years for nothing. I'm glad the Commander finally sees the truth and doesn't hold the grudge at Shadow anymore.

Shhhh! Don’t tell Archie!

First off, I just love how Omega said, "I wanted to destroy them!" He legitimately sounded like a child. "But daddy, I wanted to destroy them! Waaaaa!"

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TAKE THAT OUT OF CONTEXT, I WAS MAKING A JOKE

Second, it looks like the Commander's full name from the Archie Comics, Abraham Tower, is canon, it's his official name now.

Lastly, judging from the credits, I assume Abe and Omega were played by Roger Craig Smith, meaning that once again, Roger had to fill in for Omega.

>Witnesses the murder of his childhood best friend

>Swears revenge on the organisation who killed her

>Joins and becomes the leader of that same organisation over 50 years later

Do any of the humans in the game series, besides Eggman, Gerald and Professor Pickle, have a functioning brain?

It's between Eggman and Vanilla and Commander Tower and Bernadette for third.

So, I know that Shadow the Hedgehog isn't exactly the epitome of great storytelling, but the G.U.N. Commander is a character that was always strange to me. Namely, why was he spared while everyone else aboard the ARK was killed?

They clearly had no qualms with shooting and killing an innocent girl (Maria), so why did they spare the young future G.U.N. Commander? I began to theorize "Oh, maybe his family had some sort of major connection to G.U.N. and they're aboard the ARK as overseers or something, and they were able to get out with him as a result"... but then I remembered that he explicitly states during his confrontation with Shadow at gunpoint that "this is for my family... and for Maria!" which implies that his family was killed by G.U.N. too.

Also, ironically, judging by his dialogue he doesn't really seem to hold G.U.N. responsible for the deaths of his family and Maria all that much, if at all. He shifts all the blame towards Shadow for it when he didn't really do anything wrong himself. Even more ironic is that he became the commander of the very same organization that killed them! There's not really even an explanation for this, and the only justification I can think of is some sort of "I will fix things from the inside" point of view, which isn't even touched upon at all in the game meaning it is purely speculation.

So let's say Sega asked you to direct a new game that's specifically part of the Sonic series, but as a spin-off that doesn't star Sonic, doesn't have the same gameplay as Sonic or even the game genre that Sonic games are known for.

For example while Sonic Chronicles and Sonic Battle stars Sonic and his friends they deviate from the usual gameplay genre in favour of the usual action-platforming adventure genre of most Sonic game.

My idea for a unique spin-off game would be a first person shooter similar to GoldenEye or Call of Duty: Black Ops but stars the Commander during his agent years. While all the guns and glory of a FPS but less... killing. Maybe take the Samurai Jack approach and replace blood and gore with oil and robot parts. GUN assigns missions to the Commander that consist of various objectives in places around Sonic's verion of Earth. Maybe we see an uprising version of Dr. Robotnik before he took the Eggman name or some other vague connection to the overall lore.

The reason why I thought of this unlikely idea of a game is because I'd be interested in seeing an expanded lore of Sonic's world told through different gameplay than just what's expected from a Sonic game.

I'm working on a rewrite of the Commander's appearance section (currently it's a copy-paste of Abraham Tower's appearance, making it inaccurate/incomplete), but I'm not very sure what to put. Is anyone able to help out?

To sum up the subject, what if Sega made games that are set in Sonic's world, but are not directly Sonic games?

For example, what if we get a game that stars the Commander during his early years with GUN? Only instead of running through colourful zones, spin-jumping on badniks and collecting rings it is a game that's more like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Battlefield or Tom Clancy's games?

Instead of killing people, perhaps Dr. Eggman creates Terminator-like badniks (His Soleannan robots like Egg Gunner almost fit the bill) that the Commander shoots at and instead of collecting rings like Sonic they simply appear on his HUD as a form of currency when he does certain objectives.

This idea of mine if just an example that humours the idea of a "first person Sonic game", especially one that needs to be taken more seriously than usual Sonic games so mobians are unlikely to cameo at all.

What I am asking is, how would you feel is Sega did something like that? Make games that are loosely based on Sonic's world but barely relate to it.
