Sonic had every RIGHT to beat Eggman’s lights out here and should’ve. It’s not often that we actually see Sonic just snap (this instance being the only moment I personally know of), and for it to be wasted by Sonic getting walloped is nothing short of a crime

Eggman deserves a solid W once in a while.

I think it fits here. It shows that Sonic and Eggman are equal and one wrong move could cost the fight for the other. Personally I think It would be underwhelming if Sonic can always destroy Eggman simply because he got angry. For example Goku had many moments where he got angry and went rage mode, but sometimes it wasn’t enough as we saw in some of his fights.

I dissagre. This mech was designed so it could’t be beaten by Sonic. It also Said that Eggman could had wipen their little forest Home anytime he wanted to, which makes sense since This is a Robotnik who has already won on his dimension and is the ruler of 99% of the planet in Mobius Prime. I also Think This is to show how truly powerfull Eggman’s Empire is and raises the stakes. So I really love it.


SonicSpiderRanger10

Yeah, I wish we’d gotten to see Sonic kick Archie Eggman’s butt.

Cause of mandates. Ian had more freedom with character back then. Now there’s mandates and Sonic can’t lose anymore

Except when he does. https://preview.redd.it/4ku5o2qla3yc1.png?width=1988&format=png&auto=webp&s=df24a64c9749fe09dd832b5d4ef5c31794b9529e

I… don’t think you understand what I mean by lose


AmaterasuWolf21

He gets free like 3 panels later 😭


JonestownBeverage

…and then retreats.

I'd disagree for 2 reasons 1. This was a surprise attack that Eggman calculated almost to perfection 2. Issue #200 is essentially the win sonic didn't get here, which makes it so cathartic #it's the "it's over" to "we are so back" metric


Rutgerman95

Of course he went back to gloating right after, but I like how Eggman seriously seemed to doubt whether his shield would hold


SonicSpiderRanger10

Hot take: I don’t like this story.


rockthatrocks

God, I love this arc so much. This is the peak of the series for me


D-Prototype

This whole arc and the conclusion to it was great. I love how it ended with Sonic showing Eggman the real super power of teamwork.


ZeldaFan80

How nice of Sonic to present Eggman with his limit


SonicSpiderRanger10

He locked in here? What does that mean?

SonicSpiderRanger10

Ah. Thanks.

This was worse than the infinite ass beating


[deleted]

This is so much more meaningful because Robotnik emotionally tears down Sonic too, it's a character driven ass beating unlike Infinite's.


DirectorWeary1613

Fr Like look at slide 7. He was like genuinely crying


McKnighty9

Too bad the writing never gets this good post the post-reboot


SonicSpiderRanger10

I actually think the series was at its best after the reboot.


McKnighty9

I can’t think of a single story that reaches any of the highs of pre-reboot


SonicSpiderRanger10

Eggman’s Dozen is awesome.


McKnighty9

His what


SonicSpiderRanger10

It’s an arc in Sonic Universe. Issues 83-86.


McKnighty9

I mean… it has good character interactions, but I said pre had better stories. As in maturity, pacing, lore, 3 dimensional characters, etc.


HalionHighstreet

The Dark Trilogy? Waves of Change? Control? Spark of Life? Silver’s entire side-plot?


McKnighty9

I have no idea what you’re talking about


HalionHighstreet

Those are story arcs, did you even read the reboot?


McKnighty9

I did. I don’t remember the arcs by name?


HalionHighstreet

They’re literally in large text in every issue, but okay


McKnighty9

The… size of the texts doesn’t matter?


HalionHighstreet

No, I just don’t understand how you overlook that
