==Names==

Something peculiar about Sonic 1 - Batbrain, Spikes and Orbinaut aren't in the American or European manuals (or the Sonic Bible). What's the earliest known usage of these names? By 1993 they were all over the comics, books and trading cards, but I can't find anything earlier. Are there any 1991/1992 sources for these names? 

And are they known to have any other foreign language names? 

(Bomb isn't in the American/European manuals either. Did that ever have a name committed to print, outside of Japan?) --[[User:Pecky|Pecky]] ([[User talk:Pecky|talk]]) 15:56, 31 March 2020 (EDT)
:Plenty in 1993 as you say, but I'm struggling to find references from 1992 - will keep a look out -[[User:Black Squirrel|Black Squirrel]] ([[User talk:Black Squirrel|talk]]) 04:26, 1 April 2020 (EDT)
