This article is about the character. For his game of origin, see Sonic the Hedgehog (video game). For a list of other meanings, see Sonic (disambiguation).
You have no idea how long we've been waiting for an excuse to make this article.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a speedy blue mammal and apparent movie enthusiast. Sega made a video game about him once.

Fiction

Transformers social media

In celebration of World Bee Day on May 20, Sonic decided to host a "Watch Party" of Bumblebee, though he fast-forwarded through most of the film due to his need to quickly process information. The appearance of giant robots in the film led him to believe it was the creation of Robotnik. He appreciated the film's action scenes and the characters' adherence to cranial safety, though he worried for the Watson family's ability to pay for the damages incurred to their home by Bumblebee. Ultimately, he darted off before the film could reach its ending.[1] The San Francisco Observer later wrote an article about a clash between Sonic and one of Robotnik's giant robots in Colorado, with many of the city's residents still upset about the damages caused there by a previous battle between the two.[2]

Toys

  • 16-Bit Mega Drive Megatron (2014)
Mega Drive Megatron includes a small replica of the Japanese Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge bearing an image of Sonic.


So would that make Mini-Cons a type of Lock-On Technology?
  • Sega Genesis Megatron (2015)
The replica cartridge with the redeco/slight retool of the above figure depicts the North American release of Sonic the Hedgehog.
