Tbh, having Badnik fusions is such a fun and unique concept, yet despite that the Quasi-Badniks only had a VERY minor role in 2-3 issues of the IDW comics and nothing else (I would absolutely play a game where the Quasi-Badniks are the main enemies of it).
What do you guys think of the Quasi-Badniks?
Use this as a reaction image if you want.
^ Yeah, at least Eggman is an actual human and not one of the anthropomorphic animals lol (imagine if someone said the Badniks were hot).
I liked how the early issues (and the Island of Misfit Badniks arc) actually gave the Badniks actual characterization opposed to just being Robotnik’s robot minions (the closest we had to this in the main continuity was the Mirage Express and that Dr. Eggman’s Birthday story).
Imo I hate the Homing Attack and find it pretty damn annoying when I am just trying to double jump or jump past enemies (especially in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and Sonic Lost World). Also, Sonic Triple Trouble is honestly pretty easy besides Robotnik Winter Zone (it has like the most laughably easy final level in the series that isn’t just a boss level).
Yeah I definitely don’t like the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ones, they felt more like trial and error than anything.
When the hell were those Redbook and FM names used? Well the Saturn OST definitely feels more atmospheric while the Genesis one felt more like stuff from the classic games.
I mean, a lot of the Badniks that Knuckles has dealt with are more dangerous than Freddy Fazbear so I think he could solo if he plays his cards right (Freddy does have a numbers advantage, but that is about it).
Sonic Lost World has Gustav Turtle and Antlion Mother, enough said. I would love seeing toys of the niche Badniks from that game ngl and it isn’t even a close competition.
I could see why they would do Sonic Frontiers instead, but a Gustav Turtle plush is just more interesting than any of the Guardians tbh (I do think those defensive weapons that look like Badniks but are for some reason entirely separate robots could make for some cool looking plushies).
Not enough Badnik dialogue (the Annual 2024 issue was definitely teasing us with Egg Walker talking for like no reason).
That duck from Barnyard did some pretty messed up things in that one flashback ngl.
If they make a sequel to Sonic Lost World they better bring back the Warp.
@DKCfan10 So basically any story where Crabmeat dies besides issue 39 is just a different identical looking Crabmeat that dies instead (I guess that is what that Crab Compound was used for)?
Wait, what about Crabmeat’s appearances in issue 40 and the Island of Misfit Badniks arc (the latter of which was basically their true death)?
@Galacta 22 Yeah that is what I was getting at, but from what I remember it was only a part of GLaDOS’ AI was her consciousness.
@Flowerpuns I am pretty sure it was more so that a part of GLaDOS’ AI had the mind of a human programmed in (keyword: part of it) and she doesn’t have a human brain inside her like the Doctor in Poppy Playtime.
I am very curious on the alternate timeline where the Archie Comics remained as Saturday Morning Cartoons opposed to Ken Penders’ weird echidna fanfiction.
Even as early as the first game, we have Eggman literally using Animals as power sources for his robot army (despite him being shown to have other power source options in later games as early as Sonic the Hedgehog CD).
Probably Caterkiller x Sandworm (the OG Sandworm by the way).
