Line 1: Line 1:
In 1993, an article in Sonic the Comic (the British comic officially licensed by Sega of Europe) announced two new television series starring Sonic the Hedgehog, ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (TV series)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. In the four page article there were four screenshots which showed several unused characters and a different design to other things as well.

In this image several characters are shown [[Johnny Lightfoot]] (rabbit), Tux (penguin), Princess Acorn (probably a squirrel), [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], Joe Sushi (walrus), Chirps (chicken), [[Porker Lewis]] (pig), and [[Flicky]] (bird). [[Tails]] isn't shown, so the concept art may have been created before ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' was even released.
 
 
 
The characters seem to be based on the animals rescued by Sonic in the first game.
 
 
 
The characters Sally, Bunnie, and Rotor have similarities to Princess Acorn, Johnny Lightfoot, and Joe Sushi as in they are based on the same animals. The Porker Lewis in the image has a different design than he does in Fleetway's ''[[Sonic the Comic]]''.
 
 
 
==Dr Robotnik's Robotic Transformation Machine==
 
[[Image:Mystery4.jpg|noframe|220px|right]]
 
Robotniks design is different from any of the cartoons. He has black fingernails, a white mustache, and a green tongue.
 
 
 
This conveyor belt roboticizer is totally different from the cartoon version, which was a glass capsule.
 
 
 
One character is shown which doesn't have a corresponding animal in the games, a wolf. It's not clear if it was to be a supporting character or just a random character thrown in the picture. The wolf concept was used for the character Antoine in the SatAM.
 
 
 
==Sales Card==
 
This sales card shows the differntly designed Robotnik. It also has a mention of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and ''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' on theback of the card, meaning this card represented at least one of them. This means one of the cartoons was meant to have this robotnik design.
