Sonic the Hedgehog 15 is the fifteenth issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. It was released in October 1994.
This comic features three stories: Rockin' the Bot, What's the Big Idea?, and Animal Magnetism.
Rockin' the Bot!
During a lightning storm, Sonic shows off his speed by avoiding lightning bolts and staying dry by running between rain drops. On his journey, he comes upon a frog stuck under a tree that has been struck by lightning. He runs over but looks up to see a mudslide coming toward the frog. The frog demands Sonic runs away, but Sonic, in his style, runs toward the frog and saves him just as the mudslide arrives. He saves the frog, but gets covered in mud. The frog thanks Sonic, thinking he must be magical like he is. Sonic gets up out of the mud, but thinks the frog is joking. It starts spouting some phrases, which cause three colorful rocks to fall from the sky. It gives them to Sonic, claiming each one will endow him with a special power: green for strength, red for elasticity, and yellow for leaping great distances. Sonic is pessimistic but takes them anyway. They go separate ways, with the frog warning Sonic that the effects of the stones only last for a few moments. Sonic, however, decides to give them to Tails on his way back home.
A few days later, the Freedom Fighters are testing out Rotor's new land rover to help them get across the treacherous Mobian Badlands. Rotor is, however, concerned about Robotnik coming around. Tails states he's confident that Robotnik won't come around, as he has the three 'lucky' stones that Sonic gave him. Tails luck won't come in handy, as Robotnik is already nearby. Snively reports to Robotnik of the Freedom Fighters in their crude vehicle making their way through the Forbidden Zone. He orders Snively to destroy their vehicle in their new Beetle Bot. As the Freedom Fighters continue on, suddenly a large shadow looms over them. The group look around, but can't figure out what it is, other than being from Robotnik. Rotor looks up and sees Robotnik's large beetle-shaped vehicle swooping down on them and yells out. Everybody jumps out of the land rover just as Robotnik fires lasers, destroying it. The Freedom Fighters fall down a cliff, along with many parts of the rover, and make a rough landing.
Robotnik lands the Beetle Bug over the cliff and orders the Freedom Fighters to surrender. Although trapped, Tails takes out the stones, but Sonic asks for them, just on the off-chance that they are actually magical. As he looks at them, he forgets what exactly each one does. Sally yells out to the others as they all look up to see the Beetle Bot holding a large boulder, and throws it at the group.
Sonic takes out the red stone, thinking he'll get the strength he needs to get rid of the boulder. He holds it out, and ends up getting flattened like liquid, making Antoine faint. Although the others think he has died, Sonic squeezes out, telling the others he accidentally used the stone that makes the holder flexible. Robotnik, meanwhile, orders Snively to take the bot down into the pit and to capture the other Freedom Fighters to lure Sonic. As the others run, Sonic remains, contemplating which stone to use. With Antoine, Rotor and Bunnie caught against a cliff wall, and Robotnik heading toward them with a claw, Sonic takes a chance and uses the yellow stone, hoping it's for strength. He runs at the claw and goes to slam into it, only to end up bouncing off of it high into the air. He hits the ground hard, with the green stone in hand, which he knows is the strength stone.
As he returns back, he sees the rest of the Freedom Fighters caught in the claws of the Beetle Bot. Before he can react, it starts to take off for Robotropolis. As it will be in the air, Sonic realizes his strength will be useless, but he gets an idea. He grabs a large trunk of a dead tree and cuts a large slab of rock out of a nearby cliff. He stands at the end of the cliff as the bot takes off. While laughing, as the bot flies up, Robotnik comes eye-to-eye with Sonic and sees his creation: a large rock fly-swatter. Sonic slams the bot with the swatter, causing it to fall. He runs down and stops the bot from smashing into the ground and helps release the others. Sally asks where Sonic got his powers, making him realize that the frog from earlier was actually magical.
Later that day, Rotor and Sally join Sonic in a marsh, who is checking every frog to try to get more magical stones.
