A 1993 issue of Sonic the Poster Mag contains info about the two upcoming Sonic cartoons, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog. On a two page article there were four images which showcase either a different show or an early version of either of the shows as the characters on the images are not from the Series.

Freedom Team
In this image several characters are shown Johnny Lightfoot (rabbit), Tux (penguin), Princess Acorn (probably a squirrel), 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 was even released.
The characters seem to be based on the [[Animals|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
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 differently designed Robotnik and Princess Acorn. It also has a mention of Sonic the Hedgehog and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog on the back 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.
