s0nicfan 05/13/22 2:54:03 PM #4:	It got caught up in the Ken Penders lawsuit. Sega probably buried it forever. https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Ken_Penders%27_legal_cases *As per the legal settlement of the case, new and increased mandates from Sega were put into effect* in any and all Sonic the Hedgehog related contents, including (but not limited to): video games, television series, films, toys, and even comic books. For Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic series specifically, as relevant to the legal case, the following mandates in effect were (but possibly not limited to) as follows: Sega-specific original characters were not permitted familial relationships unless already established (like Cream and Vanilla) with some limited exceptions (eg. Uncle Chuck). ACP-exclusive characters(Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, Antoine) were permitted, however. Use of Penders' characters or any of his content from the Pre-Super Genesis Wave was forbidden (although settlement granted ACP legal use of his creations under limited conditions, reasons for not doing so are not disclosed to the public by either ACP or Sega Inc. as of this time). *Content from the following Sonic games were not permissible:* *Metal Overlord from Sonic Heroes.* Black Doom from Shadow the Hedgehog. All characters and content (with the exception of original Sega characters) from Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
