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]

Notes
- Sonic was voiced by Takeshi Kusao in a few Japanese arcade games. In English, Sam Vincent sang as him in Sonic Underground, Deven Mack voices him in Sonic Prime, and Roger Craig Smith has voiced him in nearly every appearance since 2010.
- Sonic's appearance in the "Watch Party" advertisement uses stock promotional CGI from the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog film produced by Paramount Pictures. Prior to its release, a trailer for the film was advertised on the Transformers film series' official Twitter and Instagram accounts, and the Bumblebee Movie account continued to promote its sequel.[3][4]
- The Observer article is inaccurate, as the battle in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film took place in Montana, not Colorado.
- In issue #44 of the IDW Publishing Sonic the Hedgehog comic, the Matrix of Leadership can be seen on a shelf in Dr. Starline's lab, in a panel where he refers to Belle the Tinkerer as "more than meets the eye".
- Sonic once fought a "Transformers-like" robot named Speed 5000 in issue #20 of the Sonic X Archie comics. This story was written by James McDonough and Adam Patyk.
