The Sonic Terminator
Robotnik's answer to Sonic is Metallix, a robot designed to match his speed and survive a direct fight. The five-part story also involves Captain Plunder's theft of the Chaos Emeralds and Amy's capture. The chase moves from Emerald Hill to Never Lake and the Miracle Planet, whose strange relationship with time becomes central to the final confrontation. It is one of the first Sonic stories in the comic to give a single threat room to develop over several consecutive issues.
