Very funny, but y’know, I actually am dying to see how Jim Carry Robotnik looks. (Let’s face it, he’ll steal the show.) I wouldn’t mind him looking a li’l like the uncanny valley Eggman from StH2006, except better perhaps.

Actually, in Ken Penders’ last story arc, (#158-#159) didn’t the Metal Sonic soilders that Uncle Chuck created look a li’l reminiscent of Metal Sonic in “Sonic Heroes?” (Complete with the elf shoes.) So while Metal Overlord wasn’t allowed in, they did let them use that design.
At least, Sega sometimes lets up on their mandates sometimes with the comics, so they aren’t honestly as restrictive as other companies.
