i think the sonic games always seem to have the best robot characters for some reason, i think my favorit is emerl from battle.
That makes sense, because Sega does have to review, and approve the past Sonic cartoons, comics, and merchandise. So they’d have to approve of the movie’s directions.
In fact, I posted a story a few pages back about how Sega forced DIC to add a fifth finger to Sonic’s hand in “Sonic Underground,” because Sega in Japan’s president didn’t understand the 4-finger cartoony style, and was horrified to see it, because it reminded him of the Yakuza’s (Japanese crime mafia) trademark of cutting people’s fingers off.
As a result, according to Robby London, they had to repaint Sonic’s hands on every animation cell they made up to that point, (which was ALOT) to give him the fifth finger.
This story is actually an easter egg in the Shout Factory release of Volume 1 of “Sonic Underground.” It’s hilariously titled “Giving Sega the finger.”
