Hey, this is just an idea and all but how would anyone feel about a sort of backtrack through the STC storyline? I'm not saying I could do it, I suffer from chronic 'i can't remember [censored]' syndrome but i'm sure if everyone who knew parts of the story could pitch in, it wouldn't be too hard to just get a brief version of it down on paper (or file anyway). Sorry if I sound selfish, it's just an idea though... don't flame me!!!

That would be a cool idea. Kind of like a summery of everything that has been happerning so far. I have a poor memory so I can't really help you but if anyone does take on this massive challange then good luck.

This sounds like an interesting thread, although I'm not sure how you plan to go about it. A sentence summary of each story perhaps? Or something more comprehensive, with relevant continuity points.
Either way, sounds intriguing. I'll help if I can.

If any one ever collected or saw any of The Star trek fact files, They were really good for explaining the trek universe. And they had a good time line in them as well.
perhaps a timeline detailing all importent historical events in the STC universe?
The Drakon empire occupation 1000's of years ago right through to all the important sagas of STC

Why can't we just make a new link page and put every scan of all STC's on it, in order and have a summary of every singal one?

Why can't we just make a new link page and put every scan of all STC's on it, in order and have a summary of every singal one? Probably because that would take at least half a year to produce, and would cost loads in server space.

Shouldn't this be on the STC board?
Lemme think. Assuming you know the characters already...
A hedgehog by the name of Sonic turns up in Kintobor's laboratory. Kintobor enlists Sonic's help in searching for the chaos emeralds that will enable his ROCC machine to rid the world of evil. Kintobor experiments on Sonic's speed giving him "power sneakers" that make him go so fast he breaks the sound barrier and turns blue. Later Kintobor has an accident with an egg and chaos energy and is transformed into the mad, evil Dr Robotnik. (STC #8, #71). Robotnik takes off and attempts to take over the world with his robots. Sonic's friend Porker Lewis discovers a ring with Kintobor's memories on it and uploads it to a computer in the abandoned laboratory, which Sonic makes his base. Sonic defeats Robotnik and gathers the Chaos emeralds(#24, Sonic 1 MD). With the emeralds gathered in the one place, they transport themselves to the Special Zone which causes them to emit chaos radiation which goes directly into Sonic, creating the uncontrollable Super Sonic. The spell is a short one but Sonic wakes up in the Swampland Zone to see a two-tailed fox drowning. He rescues the fox, named Tails, and recruits him for his new assault on Robotnik - during which they reclaim the emeralds and store them in the Frozen Zone where their radiation is nulled (#25, Sonic 2). Tails had crossed from the Nameless Zone to Emerald Hill mistakenly believing the hills were really paved with emeralds (Sonic the Summer Special). He kept in touch with his hometown, leading them to believe he was Mobius' greatest hero and that Sonic was his sidekick (#16).
So that's the pre-history I guess... I might write some more later. Anything I got wrong, anyone? Please say so.

sonic defeats robotniks death egg and it crash lands on the floating island where robotnik tricks knuckles into thinking sonic is evil. They fight and he believes robotnik until robotnik absorbs the emeralds. Knuckles uses the grey emerald on him.Sonic and knuckles become rivals and we find out knuckles is the last of his race (this was before vichama zac and tikal were introduced) and his race will return from the stars

Note that the order of continuity is a bit iffy here since the first twenty were for the most part printed in a fairly random order.
With his second Death Egg having been destroyed by Sonic (#6), Robotnik begins setting up base in the Special Zone, and he builds a badnik resembling Sonic to get rid of the only known entrances - the Star Posts (#4). Meanwhile Sonic uses one of the few remaining Star Posts to get into the Special Zone to show his friends (Tails, Porker and Johnny) how he turned blue, with the help of his old friend the omnipotent Omni-Viewer. However it transpires that Omni is under the control of Robotnik, as is the rest of the Special Zone, and Robotnik orders that Sonic and his three friends are transported into the future where they can never interfere with his plans again (#8). However he didn't specify how far into the future, so Omni transports them six months forward and lets them off at the Emerald Hill Zone. Sonic discovers that during those six months Robotnik took over the planet. Sonic arrives in the village to find cameras and Robotnik posters all over the place. Sonic enters to find it under the control of tough soldier badniks, who it transpires have no organic batteries, so Sonic is able to let rip on them (#9). Sonic begins a crusade to free the enslaved citizens of Mobius with a trip to the Chemical Plant Zone (where he encounters a liquid monster called Megatox, whom he swiftly sprays all over the surrounding countryside before he makes his escape) (#10). Sonic and Porker travel to the Casino Night Zone to discover that the Emerald Hill folk are being brainwashed into gambling their money away - even though the machines have been fixed so they don't win (#18). Sonic takes on the managers of the Casino Night Zone, the Marxio Brothers, and swipes a self-destruct remote that destroys the subliminal control, while Porker fixes the machines so the gamblers win every time (#19).

Megatox is right there! And if he went over every single one-off story we'd be here forever!

I went over Megatox even though he appeared in exactly three pages and was only brought back four years later against the wishes of the writer because his son wanted to see the character again for some reason.
And as Samface points out, I'm only going over the major stories - even though I thought Sonic the Human was a great story, I don't think it's worth mentioning in a STC history overview.

okay then Robotnik recharges the death egg and creates mettalix. Sonic and knuckles team up to destroy it. Sonic turns into super and destroys mettalix. After super wastes knuckles sonic gets the master emerald knuckles uses the floating island to destroy it. Sonic gives knuckles the master emerald back in return for a safe haven for the emerald hill folk. ( I realise I left out the metallix miracle planet but I don't know much about that)

I don't think there's enough of it to cover, at this point at least. What little there is I'll cover when the timeline gets round to it...

I was thinking more of the stuff that should have come before sonic. IE: the Drakon empire ruled Mobius for so-an-so years and had a battle with the achient Echidnas for the power of the chaos emeralds.
and any other anchient info

^There were only hints on the war in StC. There was never any mention of definitave battles in the War. All we know is thatthe Drakon Empire came to Mobius after a period of monitering, took control of the Echidna's Sacred Emerald Mines and created the Chaos Emeralds. Pochacamac and his Echidnas steal the Emeralds and hold them in Megapolis City (I think that was the ruined city's name in earlier issues. And I'm assuming that's what it was.) he event of Chaos Saga occur as the Drakons make a first attack and accidently create Chaos.
After that first Echidna victory, nothing else was mentioned. All we know for sure is that in the present the Drakon Empire returned to Drak without the Emerlads or any knowledge of their whereabouts, and that the Ecidna Race is now all but gone.

A young hedgehog in the village called Amy Rose claiming to be Sonic's girlfriend (even though Sonic doesn't even like her) is captured by Robotnik's forces and taken hostage in Robotnik's new Special Zone fortress. Sonic and Johnny find the fortress but are captured by Robotnik's new chief scientist Grimer, and are held while Robotnik undergoes a physical transformation (#21). Robotnik emerges in his new physical form and prepares to transform Sonic, Johnny and Amy into his new super badniks, but Sonic breaks free and helps the others escape. Now that Robotnik thinks Amy's Sonic's girlfriend, Johnny decides that she's not safe in the village and that she will have to join the gang (#22). However, this doesn't stop her being kidnapped by pirates. The gang follows them to the Mystic Cave Zone where they meet Captain Plunder and his crew, who demand that they hand over the chaos emeralds in return for Amy. However, Amy manages to negotiate a deal wherein Sonic is to supply Plunder with information on which of Robotnik's freighters are worth robbing - but Plunder still has a secret plan to get those emeralds (#23). Back in Emerald Hill, Robotnik has the entire village arrested for badnik processing at the Veg-O-Fortress - but Sonic has already informed Plunder about it and the pirates take over the vessel in no time. However, Porker mistakenly lets slip to Plunder's lieutenant Filch the secret location of the chaos emeralds: the Frozen Zone (#24). Plunder gets away with the emeralds but Sonic catches up with them to find that the unstable, evil-absorbing energy has transformed them into hippies who aren't at all bothered about the emeralds any more, and gladly let Sonic take them back (#25). On Sonic's day off he receives a distress call from Amy and runs across to Never Lake leaving the rest of the gang behind. He arrives to find the forest decimated and the Miracle Planet, chained to the lake, covered in Robotnik's machinery. He finds Amy atop a tall column and brings her down, as he is attacked by Metallix, the metal Sonic! The Metallix serves Robotnik with one purpose: to terminate Sonic! The two fight and Sonic is knocked unconcious while Metallix is badly damaged, opting for tactical retreat with Amy as its hostage. Sonic wakes to see the Metallix climb the chain to the Miracle Planet, and so he follows (#26). As they arrive on the planet, Mobius disappears from sight - Sonic knows that it won't return for a whole month after that. He finds Amy safe, and is attacked by Metallix again. It transpires that Robotnik has configured the Miracle Planet to supply the Metallix with its limitless power. Just as the Metallix is about to attack Sonic again, it is surprised by an assault from a miniature hedgehog and is forced to reboot. The miniature hedgehog tells Sonic he is his own future self, and has Sonic enter a shrinking beam, before handing over a time stone that Sonic is to use to travel back in time and stop all this ever happening (#27). Sonic manages to travel back in time and destroy Robotnik's machinery before it ever spread. Sonic travels back to the present time again and after he's handed the stone over to himself again, the machinery disappears, Sonic grows back to his normal size, and Metallix fades to nothing - because now, it never existed. Sonic's only concern from here on out is a month trapped on the Miracle Planet with only Amy Rose for company (#28). So that's year one covered, apart from Tails' Nameless Zone antics, which I don't plan on covering as they don't interact with Sonic continuity beyond Tails being missing a lot of the time.

It ripped itself off, in fact... page six of #27 was reprinted in its entirety as page four of #28! And both writer and artist were paid as if they'd done the same page twice! ;D

Since most of what we know of the ancient echidnas is from Sonic's point of view, I think I'll cover it when he comes across them. If I ever get that far, that is.
