>>11347298>It literally isn't. They even explicitly removed the AOSTH part of it on that piece.It's a reference to a game, made specifically for AOSTH. It's an AOSTH, you Sega purist.
>Once again, it's like saying any reference to Sonic Spinball is a SATAM reference because Bunnie, Sally, and Rotor have cameos in 2 of the bonus games.Sonic Spinball isn't an SATAM game though. It uses the classic Eggman design, and the release omits the Freedom Fighters from the game.
>And if they find out it's an Archie reference, Lego will likely lose the license.Jakks Pacific sneaked a Hyper Knuckles from Archie past Sega, they claimed it was Easter Knuckles. To my knowledge, they still have the Sonic licence.
>>11347321>The last time Sonic was truly relevant was Sonic and KnucklesNot the movies that made millions of dollars? Sonic Frontiers? The IDW comics.
>The only outside media that's ever been any good was the cartoon about chili dogs, and that's because it recognized itself as a cartoon.Sonic Boom is the best Sonic cartoon, pity it was made for a failed reboot.
