Sonic Question Time: We've all seen the IDW tidbit implying a crossover (likely with another IDW comic). Sooo... What's your Top 3 picks for what Sonic crosses over with? Mine is;
1. Transformers
Something about Super Sonic vs Megatron sounds absolutely RAW, what a ******* battle that'd be. Gold clashes well against purple, you know.
2. Godzilla
The obvious pick. Super Sonic vs the Titans was practically a prelude to this, what with the infatuation people have with seeing a small character essentially shoulder-check a giant.
3. TMNT
Probably my niche pick, though it's definitely my least favorite of the three. There's even the parallels of "Group of Four" with Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles, so it's not like there's NO connection.
And yeah, any of these would be cool for me to see.
My top pick is MLP, honestly. I know logically that Godzilla is kinda the best bet here, since he just had a big movie come out so he's pretty popular right now, but... I want to
BELIEVE in MLP x Sonic.
It's honestly astonishing to me that neither series has ever really had any official interaction before. Even beyond the obvious Rainbow Dash and Sonic comparisons, and the fun that could be had from leaning into their competitive natures, it would just be so easy to have Eggman try to take advantage of the magic in Equestria or have someone like Tirek attempt to steal the power of the Chaos Emeralds. The protagonists from each verse also has pretty strong possibilities for fun banter and teamwork, and they've all basically got the same shared love of their friends that keep them going. The protection of nature and the environment is also a pretty big thing in both franchises.
You could also have some fun and say the Elements of Harmony and Chaos Emeralds are two sides of the same coin or some such; as they're both mystical and ancient multicolored gems that hold limitless energy and are enriched by a person's heart and can affect all of reality, and even go as far as to give their users super forms that are the top of their verse, etc, etc, etc. And like... can you just
imagine how cool the Mane 6 with golden super forms, or the Sonic team with Rainbow Power forms would be?! Like combining both their power to defeat a single enemy, or enemy alliance? That's just peak fiction tbh
I can see the reception being pretty good for it, since personally, I just think both fandoms have a lot of crossover already. A lot of pony fans I know are into Sonic, and vice versa. Obviously there's gonna be the unhinged backlash from vocal minorities, but that would just add to the fun lol
