Granted he's probably still in his anti-hero role due to his pairing with Shadow, but we don't know if his personality will be intact or not. That is the joy of Archie having more free reign with the series in the comics.<br /><br />And say what you will, it indicates Archie is planning on getting Bass in the comics at some point. So you better get used to it. Every Sonic game character has made a debut at some point in that series, including one shotters from the Sonic Rush series. The only exceptions so far are the Wisps, Emerl and all the other Sonic 2006 bs. If Sonic is anything to follow by, King and Duo are eventually going to show up as well. And I hate Duo's guts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-33923669676596848762012-07-11T18:57:11.295-05:002012-07-11T18:57:11.295-05:00I'm glad to know I'm not the only one here...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one here who prefers "Dr. Robotnik" over "Dr. Eggman". I'm far from being a classic fanboy, but I still have a passionate hatred for the latter name, because I consider it to be one of the worst names ever thought of for a villain (even if he is egg-shaped). Don't even get me started on that piece of crap copout line in <i>Generations</i>. I'm sure that anyone who's seen the Time Eater cutscene towards the end of the game will know what I'm talking about.<br /><br />Anyway, as for this crossover, I think it may turn out to be pretty good.
