Sonic the Comic #185

12 July 2000

Issue overview

The first fully reprinted issue revisits the opening chapters of Project Brutus, The Homecoming, Trooper Trouble and Cybernik Strikes Back. Its selections send readers back to several parallel stories from the comic's middle years.

Reprinted stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Project Brutus, Part 1 #

    Grimer finishes Project Brutus by scanning Robotnik's brain patterns into a towering Ultimate Trooper, whom Robotnik names his second-in-command. When a spy spots Sonic's circus disguise in the Pleasant Zone, Commander Brutus intercepts the report and arrives with a Troop ship rather than informing his creator. Brutus shrugs off Sonic's assault as if it were nothing and, declaring himself unbeatable, orders his Troopers to open fire.

    First appeared in issue 63.

  2. Knuckles · The Homecoming, Part 1 #

    Knuckles finishes work among the Chaos Emeralds and means to rest, until a forcefield alarm pulls him by Zoom Tube to ruined Megopolis City. A searching robot opens fire; he drops it into a crevice he punches open, then meets its quarry: an elderly white-furred echidna with a gold medallion. The stranger introduces himself as Doctor Zachary, the first of Knuckles' lost people to return to the Floating Island.

    First appeared in issue 65.

  3. Tails · Trooper Trouble, Part 1 #

    George grudgingly pays a scavenging Trooper in Wood Village Zone and waits for Sonic or Shortfuse - Tails arrives instead. The tin soldier flees into a real patrol; Tails smashes it and finds Clive the Donkey wearing scrap armour to teach the village a lesson. Genuine Troopers web the pair before either can flee.

    First appeared in issue 85.

  4. Sonic's World · Cybernik Strikes Back, Part 1 #

    Shortfuse the Cybernik tears into a Trooper escort marching animals to Badnik processing and shrugs off a self-destructing guard. Among the freed prisoners is engineer Tekno the Canary; Shortfuse sought her out not to escape his Megatal shell but to have her build a bomb against Robotnik's Chemical Plant factory. At the Citadel, an enraged Robotnik accepts Grimer's suggestion and unleashes the shape-shifter Metamorphia to destroy the Cybernik.

    First appeared in issue 63.
