Sonic the Hedgehog 47 is the forty-seventh issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic. It is the first part of 4 issues of the Endgame saga, leading up to the 50th issue.
This comic features one story: "Taking the Fall".
Endgame, Part 1 - Taking the Fall
- Continued from issue 46.
Despite the misgivings from the night before, the Freedom Fighters, along with the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters, begin their assault on Robotropolis. Sally leads the assault, using her binoculars to locate their target outside Robotnik's base. They each reaffirm that they want to go through with the plan, so Sonic takes out a grapple hook and launches it at a catwalk outside the base. Using the grapple rope as a guide, Sonic grabs Sally and runs her up to the catwalk.
A fair distance from the base, the Lupe leads her Wolf Pack, watching Sonic and Sally's progress through her own binoculars. After notifying the others of their progress, Drago notes his displeasure that they aren't doing the work themselves. Lupe tells him to learn from what he sees and orders him to signal the other Freedom Fighters.
In another sector of Robotropolis, the remaining Freedom Fighters, along with Doctor Quack, watch Sally and Sonic's work as well. Antoine, who has the team communicator, hears it go off. He takes it out, as Drago confirms that Sally and Sonic have reached the base's catwalk and that the Wolf Pack is ready to move in.
Background Information
- This issue takes place during 3235, which sets up the years for all future issues. Along with this, it is established that the war with Robotnik has lasted for 11 years, making 3224 the start of the First Robotnik War and the fall of Mobotropolis.
- While wondering why he is part of the mission, Doctor Quack mentions 'I'm a doctor, not a commando!', a type of phrase popularly used by Doctor McCoy from Star Trek. Coincidentally, the Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager said the exact same line in an episode that took place less than one year later.
