In the first several issues of the comic he was known as "Boomer".

Other Info
In the miniseries that started off the American Sonic comics, Rotor was instead named Boomer.
In late 2004 of the comics, Rotor gained a new intelligent partner named Tommy Turtle, who's also known as Agent from K.N.O.T.H.O.L.E.
According to Ken Penders, Rotor's comic counterpart was supposed to be written in as a homosexual, notably in the Mobius: 25 Years Later saga. Ken had planted clues in the story to elude to this, but as Rotor was deemed to be underdeveloped, this idea did not continue on. [1]
