Sonic The Hedgehog IDW Issue #49 

Well it's both.

Yas I’m ready

Definitely

yo I'm am ready.

U damn right we ready I'm so excited for these next 2 issues to drop its gonna be wild ASF this might be one of the greatest fights in Sonic can't wait for it

Exactly

Not really steal rings persay, just deplete them.

Tails can fix him!!!

I agree with you on Sonic; this time, he really spoke from the heart. I also absolve him of blame for how he handled of Mr. Tinker. Still, it really was Metal Sonic who brought Eggman back, not Starline. The note kinda proves it too. Starline only managed to convince him that he was Eggman; he didn't motivate him to want to become Eggman again. It wasn't until he laid a hand on Metal Sonic that he regained his usual personality. Sonic's still not out of the woods for letting Metal Sonic go free, but I no longer doubt that he WILL feel bad about it if and when he finds out what doing so did.

@@videogollumer Sorry, but in my opinion, Starline was the one directly responsible for Tinker's death and Eggman being revived. He's the one who had him kidnapped and taken away from the village and his daughter. Metal Sonic was nothing more than an emotional trigger and Rough and Tumble may have kidnapped him but Starline was the mastermind behind it all. Staline is the main-main antagonist of the IDW Sonic series and is mostly responsible for everything that's happened. Eggman's return, spreading the metal virus, the deadly six, the villains escaping, now Surge and Kit. He has to be stopped.

@@beckthetinkerbot I'm not saying he doesn't. Also, though I strongly disagree about who brought Eggman back, I won't fight you on it. If that's what you want to believe, then fine; I can't stop you.

@@videogollumer Thanks, I appreciate that. Everyone had there own views and opinions.

@@beckthetinkerbot 👍

I think it's because he regrets not being able to save her father from Starline and Metal Sonic and preventing EGGMAN's return. And he's truly sorry for the way he treated when they first met. The least he can do to honor his friend Tinker's memory is help look after his daughter.

@@beckthetinkerbot Well, Sonic couldn't have known about Starline. But he should have known better when it came to Metal Sonic, who had always been a threat and an enemy. And Belle was the one Sonic tried to dispose of when they first met.

@@mysteriousgirl9211 Ya, Poor Belle left her village to look for her father and because the villagers didn't trust and her life was nearly ended by Sonic in the abandoned base.

Oh that is a good observation maybe he somehow replicated the power of the deadly six and is using that to mind control the robots.

InSpIrAtIoN

Aye!

My, oh my, that’s a great observation! Seems like someone might of gotten inspiration

@@theblackdrag0n189 i was thinking this was them because of the way they acted but thats a good thought as well.

Definitely agree

Here here!

And who is now trapped in the body of a monster.

Nah the only way to bring tinker back is the phantom ruby, chaos emeralds or any other magic jewels since tinker was a side effect of eggman over using the ruby same with needle mousse and Sonics memory loss

@@jettlucashayes8508 That was the Warp Topaz with Sonic.

@@videogollumer I know I said over magical gems, it also applies for shadow in sa2

That letter reminds me of the messages with Gerald and Maria in Shadow the hedgehog to shadow to motivate him save the world. From the black arms.

After Tails for the former.

The bad is Motobug also gone as serve it's purpose to deliver final message of Mr. Tinker to Belle

@@dalaxdercrisper957 That's not what killed it, if it even IS dead. Belle yanked a cable out of it.

time stamp?

I don’t think he’ll ever feel bad about “giving metal sonic a chance” so to say. He’s even less likely to ever regret it if he never finds out about the reason eggman was able to come back (besides starline)

@@charismaentertainer1657 He HAS to find out; the dramatic irony is perfectly aligned for it. It would be a waste not to have it dispelled now. Also, he will feel bad if Tails has anything to say about it.

He even apologized for what Eggman did; and here I've been taking him as nothing more than Eggman with amnesia and an excuse for Sonic to let his worst enemy off the hook for mass murder. In the end, he did exactly what I said would was needed to prove if he was a different and better person. Can't argue with that.

I think this issue was meant to wrap up the Tinker Arc and lay Mr.Tinker to rest and have Belle move forward so she can better help her friends.

Sonic: Too late, she already got it.

Metaphorically of course

@@justinukah7441 Of course, I mean she was always so skittish until this point, was afraid to fight but she finally decided she had enough.

@@jerichogarry Yeah little does she know though that this is the work of the same duck head that ruined her life

@@justinukah7441 No spoilers!

@@jerichogarry If you've kept up on Impostor Syndrome then you do know this is part of Starline's endgame yeah? Starline's plan has been out in the open foor a while dude.

It would have been Fiona Fox all over again.

The infamous slap

another reason why Sally sucks lmao

As much as I love Archie, I really don’t want any repeats in history with that run.

Did you had to remind me about that? XD

Darn Starline? Darn Metal Sonic!

@@videogollumer Darn both of them, they both played pretty big roles in bringing Eggman back

@@ev_rebound5774 Yeah, but Belle, who KNOWS Metal Sonic was involved, is giving all of the credit to Starline. She even REPAIRED Metal Sonic when she saw him down! Does Belle have favoritism toward her fellow robots, or is it just because Metal is her half-brother?

@@videogollumer Well she probably sees Metal as someone who just doesn’t have much choice in the matter since he has no free-will. There’s probably a little favoritism towards her fellow bots cause she wants to save them from Eggmans control.

@@ev_rebound5774 The fact that he has no free will is the exact reason why Sonic should have just left him for scrap! Because he made the stupid decision of releasing him into the world, he caused Eggman's return, and nearly every bad thing that followed!

Rest in Peace, Mister Tinker. You will always be remembered.

And thank you for giving us hope, even if it turned out to a fool's hope 🍺😔

I'd hardly say loved; indeed, I saw him largely as an excuse for Sonic to put his world in danger. Regardless, I will now no longer hold specifically that against Sonic anymore.

@@videogollumer Oh no, I blame multiple people including Sonic for letting Eggman comeback, but I wish the complexity of that story showed some more nuance to it all.

@@jaredtherock5692 There's plenty of subtlety surrounding Metal Sonic's part in it. People have been disappointed, thinking that Metal Sonic isn't being used as anything more than Eggman's flunky; but he's become a lot more than that. It's because of Sonic and Tails repairing and releasing him that allowed him to bring Eggman back. Eggman himself see Metal Sonic as his son. He also is a rival to others besides Sonic now. Starline's logs from Impostor Syndrome evidently show he is envious of the credit Metal Sonic gets from Eggman. Starline wants what he thinks is for Eggman's own good, but Eggman rejects that in favor of Metal Sonic getting Eggman what HE wants. This is shown when Metal takes the Warp Topaz from Starline and forces him through the portal as Eggman fires him, and is why Starline is shown to have such a bone to pick with Metal in his video journals. Metal is also a dark mirror of Belle. Both have been like children to their creators and are technically half-siblings. Both were created from the same genius, but for different purposes. In a sense, Belle is Eggman's illegitimate daughter, as she was made from his genius but with good in mind. Eggman even pretty much disowned her to her face with the utmost pleasure in the Test Run arc. Metal Sonic, on the other hand, he consider's his true son. Basically Metal killed Belle's father to resurrect his own father. So, yeah, there's a lot surrounding Metal at this point despite being sidelined for the most part after Issue 12.

Don't say almost, I can tell you cried lol

@@sylver_sonic7726 tears were welled up i will admit

Now I’m not saying I want that to happen. I’m not ready for them to throw away metal sonic as a villain but it will definitely be an interesting concept.

@@comicfan1324 I feel like it wouldn't work as metal is too complex

@@fort2558 Fair enough. However if the program was perfected and refined enough, it might work.

That's pretty much Shard from the Archie Comic days.

Depending on how sonic handles eggman this time I may drop idw because sonic giving him chance after chance don’t make sense especially after the metal virus arc put eggman in jail something then just letting him get away

@@gioclayton6634 Oh no, I agree, mostly. Still, I like the other characters too much to leave on account of Sonic alone. Tbh, I was actually getting close to cursing him. Yes, I know he's a fictional character; but still, like you said, it doesn't make sense to just let him get away on purpose after what he's done. Leaving Eggman to roam free after the Metal Virus Saga, especially, is plain a great injustice for Sonic to bring down on his world and his friends. Still, I'm hoping for the best, on account of Sonic opening his heart to Belle. That not only more than makes up for his initial rude treatment of her; but this is the exact thing Sonic himself was missing in this comic, him inspiring others through words of comfort, like he's done with Elise and Shahra, rather than just inspiring the masses with his mere presence. This is what makes Sonic likable.

I agree this was very interesting and sad too, I enjoy this one, especially the lovely moment when Sonic comfort Belle and said she has made a difference😄 That was my favourite part😁

Also hi Rash buddy how are u and sorry I could not make it, I would have love to be there to say hi, but I hope everything’s been going good for you 😁

@@lizzybunny5436 it’s OK and I’m good how about you

@@DarkerShadyRox._.07 Ok and thank u for understanding and that’s great to hear and I am good 😄

*Gives Hug to Rash Buddy* 🤗

Just as he should be.

@@sylver_sonic7726 That's the day before my birthday.

Metal Sonic is really the one who's responsible for Eggman's return, but I don't think Belle could fight him as easily.

@@videogollumer actually it was both a combination of Starline’s hypothesis and Metal Sonic showing up. Ian Flynn confirmed this on the bumble cast where he said if It weren’t for Starline’s actions Eggman would have stayed as Mr. Tinker and he said that if Metal showed up in windmill village Mr. tinker would have just taken him in and he would basically become Belle’s brother.

@@alecjackman2655 So, that equally means that if Sonic had put the kibosh on Metal Sonic; Mr. Tinker would have found out that he was once the evil Dr. Eggman but not go back to being him; am I right?

@@videogollumer IDK. Personally I interpreted his words as meaning Mr. Tinker wouldn’t have recognized Metal but he would still take him in as Mr. Tinker was a good man.

@@alecjackman2655 Well, honestly, anyone could have done what Starline did. Not just anyone can be the greatest reflection of both Eggman's genius and evil like Metal Sonic can. In fact, Starline did what Sonic should have done, remind Mr. Tinker that he was previously Eggman. It wasn't fair to anyone to keep him in the dark. Everyone knew what horrible things Eggman did, but none of them could get justice. As for Mr. Tinker, he was blissfully unaware of it all, and was target by Shadow; he would have been Targeted by Whisper next, and he wouldn't have known why. Starline actually gave Mr. Tinker a chance to repent, even though that was the opposite of his intention; because of that, it is only now that I consider him a different person, or personality rather, than Eggman. Still, I think others could have convinced him. I think even Gemerl could have convinced him; but Metal Sonic was a reflection of everything Eggman desires no one could take HIS place.

From the way he talked to her, it's implied that Eggman believed that Mr. Tinker was a waste of his time and genius, meaning he thought the same about Belle. He practically gleefully disowned her, at least that's my take on it. So, as far as I'm concerned, no, unless he ever plans to recycle her somehow for a new plan.

"almost" huh?

Probably not. Unless if either Starline or Eggman says that it was thanks to Metal.

@@valentinkambushev4968 Eggman doesn't know because Starline stole all the credit before him. The fact that he even mentioned Metal Sonic to Belle at all surprised me.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Knuckles using Sonic and Tails as punching gloves:

Considering that he killed her father to bring back his father, and Belle at least knows he was involved, I'm guessing she'd have some resentment toward him. As for Metal, he shares Eggman's interests. I imagine that he would similarly consider Belle an illegitimate daughter of Eggman, while considering himself Eggman's true son.

“No one’s ever really gone”

I like this issue. This issue sums up what we were talking about awhile ago. Whether people want to admit it or not, Starline IS the real reason why Eggman got his memories back. It wouldn't have mattered if Metal Sonic came or not. Mr. Tinker was fading away and he wrote that letter to Belle as a final farewell to her because he knew he would be gone and back to Dr. Eggman. It's sad that Belle has to accept the fact that her creator is no more. Thanks a lot, Starline. Hopefully, Gemerl and Omega don't get controlled by the waves. I'm looking forward to Issue 50 when all hell breaks loose.

@@gamerblaster2102 True, Sonic and Tails doesn't deserve to be blamed as Belle isn't the only one whose life got taken by Starline, but the two innocent people he kidnapped as well. But yes, I also can't wait for the 50th issue, only two months away.

@@gearthehuman2115 You mean two innocent children he kidnapped, not she. But yes, it's sad that Belle had to see that taken away from her all because of his obsession of Eggman. It's tear jerker to see Mr. Tinker write his final farewell to his creation because he cared about his "daughter" but he knew that Eggman was coming, so even if Metal Sonic didn't come, it was only a matter of time. Starline ruins everything. Imposter Syndrome 4 I think comes out next month before Issue 50. I'm excited to see how chaotic things are going to become.

@@gamerblaster2102 oops sorry, typo. thanks for reminding me

@@gearthehuman2115 No problem. We can all agree that this issue concludes the whole "Mr. Tinker" search and Belle has to move on and do what's best for her and others. It's sad, but at least she knows now.

Agreed, definitely in character. This is probably one of the best handled death scenes in Sonic media, alongside Maria and the Knuckles Clan.

IKR? It feels like it's been ages since Sonic, or at least a version of him who is mostly like his game counterpart, has shown such compassion.

It is kind of like Gerald and Maria’s message in Shadow 2005 . To motivate Shadow to save the world . Before the Ark incident .
