Yeah, what happened to Grimer? That's directed at you Ed and the others in charge. Is Grimer returning to foil our heroes adventures? Or manipulate the now mad Robotnik? Speaking of which, is Robotnik mad as in off the edge and in the seas of insanity? Or is he just mad bent on destroying Sonic? It appeared that he can't even talk anymore!

I don't see why Plunder can't return. That story never seemed tremendously final to me, just another hiccup for Plunder like losing his crew was in #50. He's one of those characters that just keeps coming back. But doing a story with his curse without just writing it out is tricky. Hmm.
I don't want to say too much about Grimer. Some things are best told in stories, so you'll have to wait and see on that front.
But Robotnik is totally ga-ga gone. Mental. Lunatic.

you noticed that too, eh? ;D hmm.. gives me an idea for a new thread. cheers, ed. metallix should make a comeback. why? becuase I say so. I loved the metallix stories. decap should make a comeback.. cos it was so frikkin hilarious. plunder should make a comeback. if only for the antics of simpson the cat. as for shorty... NO. I reeeaally did not like his stories. purley for the fact that lew insisted on telling shortfuse's life story in every single issue! arrgghh!!!!

What does Plunders mysterious curse do. I never read that comic and I was wondering if someone could fill me in.

I'm kinda new here but i've got every issue of STC I could get my hands on ;D, who here remember the old Shinobi strip, personally I think that should be remade for STC or even a comic for its self

offtopic-
*looks at knux's sig. walks up to knux. stares him right in the eye. grabs his hand and shakes it.* ;D
ontopic-
shortfuse wasn't really a great character anyway. he would have ranked much higher with me if he wasn't constantly reminding people why he's a good robot.. everytime I read "robotnik turned me into a cyborg and I turned against him", I want to hurt things....

That wouldn't be such an issue post-Data Zone. Seriously, you needed Shorty's history for the new fans that would have been confused by the whole affair. I agree it's a shame tha Lew wasn't allowed to take the pathos very far though.

no, no. I have to disagree. it was not needed. sonic had his own STC origin. that wasm't explained I every issue. amy's orign was explained once. so was tails. tekno's was mentioned once or twice. ebony's was never mentioned, as far as i'm aware. it was just shorty.

But none of those characters looked like villains. All the other badniks were... well, bad.

What does Plunders mysterious curse do. I never read that comic and I was wondering if someone could fill me in. Plunder was cursed with eternal bad luck. Suck to be him ;D... and sorry Ed, but I have to agree with turbo on this one... Shorty never had that "evil robot" look about him. Even right after shorty was in the armour, he looked less threatening than the badniks beside him. and there was nothing about his history that couldn't have been summed up in 2 sentances in the Data Zone. maybe the comic didn't harp on about the char's origions (except shorty's), because people just accepted who the characters were, without needing to know their lifestory. my one reason they don't go on about Amy's origin all the time is because Lew Stringer screwed the continuity up BADLY. she acted like she did in the later issues, but remember, this was set BEFORE she captured by Metallix... when she was a wild fan-girl ;D

Ahh, I do see, I mean Badnik/Robot = Bad on Planet Mobius, so it does make sense to point it out that Shorty was good... even if for the constant readers it got a bit repetitive.
Plus I don't see the point in him returning, well not as Shortfuse anyway, I think his story was pretty nicely wrapped up.

i thinks that chaotix should return....i like those guys, their so well not bad at their job..but you can't really take them seroiusly...but i'd like all of them back, and with heroes I think the metallix would be back witht the chaotix anyway...shorty...hmm undecided on that one, he wasn't my fave charrie, but I didn't hate him either. I dunno, maybe he needed a stronger personality, or a sense of a fully rounded character, I don't know, there was something missing but I can't put my finger on it. bring em all back I saY!!

;D Once again, I have a story I'd like to write for STC-Online (no doubt in the FAR future), but I'll put it up here anyway so that Ed and the Humes in charge can go Tsk Tsk or give me a thumbs up. :DBasically the stroy, if you haven't guessed by the title, would show the return of Root. Member him? He was defeated in one of the 100issues (got it at home) and revealed to be nothing more than a tiny potatoe with legs. But it was never shown that he was killed, and since Sonic doesn't kill his enemies (unless he goes Super Sonic on their ass) Root would've no doubt endded up in confinement. Well, lets say that someone finds him and releases him. As he needs a host body the guy could build him a robotic body to use and Root would return. With Robotnik in Ga Ga land, Root can contend with the likes of Zack (and whoever comes along in the future) for the rule of Mobius. What do you think Guys and Girls (and Ed and the Humes in Charge)? Dark R. P.S: By the by, Ed. Would Thalia Evans stories be turning up in STC-Online by any chance? Just asking...

Do YOU remember Root at all?
I though he was great!
Real lasting BADGUY material.

He was great made chaotix go mental but he was defeated to easily. Hardly a classic

-SIGH- Perhaps your right. But he could easily come back, and this time, no more Mr Nice Flower, eh?

I was kind of joking about the 'bring back shortfuse' thing, I agree he is a character that had run its course, just hopefully so will tekno be. What about minor minor characters? Like Sally, last seen of her was the first metallix storyline if I recall. as a newscaster. I mean, she used to be a pal of sonic and the gang, do they just blank her now or something? <Tails> yeah...so...anyway...while we were fighting robotnick and all the 'going into the future' stuff, apprently archie brought out a comic and well...we figured if we brought you back into things it'd look like we were copying <Sonic> Sorry bout that, besides, were scheduled to at some point to have to deal with two more female chracters *points to Rouge and Cream in Sonic heroes character guide* and wer'e only allowed 3 girls at a time <sally> what about tekno....wont that be 4? <all>.......................*BANG* <tekno> XP <Sally> <sonic> so...yeah...like I was saying....only 3...

sally had no role in STC. I mea what role could she of had? love interest? that just wouldn't have bee cool. little kids would have been like "yuk!, gross! he kissed a girl!, etc."

sally and amy fighting over sonic would have been good to see

Yeah, but STC seemed to stay firmly away from the whole 'love' angle, and rightly so, because their main audience was (sorry ellie, thalia and the rest of the gals) for young boys and not the lasses.
Little boys dont tend to want to read about love interests and relationships. Still, again theres nothing wrong with just being friends with a gal. but double again again, little boys would much rather it was all about guys fighting other guys and robots.
and thats what it was! Hurrah! \o/
