Family Matters and Future Tense - Sonic the Hedgehog #215 & #216
So here just a quick run down of a few events that’ll become more relevant as time goes on.
“Family Matters Part 1″ StH #215
Rotor’s herd is brainwashed again and he comes out of retirement to save them. It’s the first time we see the ‘Iron Rotor’ suit.
Nicole builds a exoskeleton suit for Rotor to fight in, allowing a work around his injured back. Make note; it will appear again.
“Future Tense Part 1″ StH #215
Meanwhile, Silver is still hunting for the traitor in the far future. He hits upon the idea that it might be Rotor while researching in an old library. But the big take away is that Silver’s future is indeed connected to Mobius XX years later as we see images of the Future Freedom Fighters everywhere.
Did they have a hand in fighting whatever destroyed Mobius? Was it even after their time? What did Lara-Su do to earn a statue of herself? Like, not even Sonic or Knuckles have one of those lying around in any of the futures we’ve seen so far. If the apocalypse is post Mobius XX Years Later than why bother going all the way back to Sonic’s time fighting Eggman? What would the traitor have to do set those events in motion decades after their initial betrayal? Especially since things seemed to be fine and dandy, all thing considered, when we last saw the Future FFs.
Look, I know we never got to see The Traitor arc play out like Fylnn wanted. and we’ll never see the answers to a lot of those questions; but like there’s a real disconnect between the Years Later series and what eventually happened in the main story. So much so that I’m struggling to see how they were ever meant to fit together.
Also the library here is important. Remember it.
“Family Matters Part 2″ StH #216
Anyways long story short, Silver comes around to Rotor and helps him free his herd. Also Sonic and the Arctic FFs are there for some reason. They don’t really do anything useful. They’re only there because Sega demands Sonic’s presence.
However the part we’ll be focusing on is at the end of the story when we get a prologue for the next arc we’ll be covering in the retrospective.
(I really like Bunnie and Twan’s outfits here.)
“Future Tense Part 2″ StH #216
And to finish everything off we get an epilogue with Silver where we meet the guardian Edmund.
He says he’s over a hundred years old giving us a hit of a time frame. But as I hate the idea that the Guardians are near immortal with every fiber of my being, I’m going to choose to believe that he’s exaggerating.
Also the Ark from Sonic Adventure 2 is here. I guess that was meant to tie together with the traitor arc somehow.
And then we see that Silver has another teacher and it’s…..
DUN, DUN, DUUUNNN!!!
Not that this plot point will amount to anything… because Fuck Penders!
Anyways be sure to tune in next time when we start in on a Bunnie centric arc. Whoo Hoo!
