    Please before you comment READ THIS because I'm sick of correcting people
    Infinite's real name is NOT Zero. That is a FANMADE name.
    According to Ian Flynn, he asked Sega what Infinite's real name was so that he could use it in the Sonic Forces prequel comic and SEGA told him that Infinite's real name was just Infinite.

      @@GameControllerNetwork well I'm not saying you're wrong and the other probably aren't either it's just the name people heard and decided to go with it. But you know if Sega do listen to their fans maybe they would have it where Zero is his real name and Infinite is his nickname.

    You know, there’s something ironic about having Shadow, a creation of the Robotnik family, be the one leading the charge against Eggman.
    (Talk about your awkward family reunions.)

    Epiloge: After the defeat of Metal Sonic, Null Space ceases to exist. Eggman falls from the sky and lands back into his old base, letting out a dull "Ouch."

      Actually, he hit his head in windmill village and got amnesia. And Infinite was fired from the resistance shortly after the events of this what if after showing Shadow his Sonadow file.

    I’ve been watching your Sonic vids for the past week or so and they’re honestly of stellar quality, especially for such a small channel.
    This concept for a potential new Sonic What If series isn’t exactly original, but the more I’ve thought about it the more intriguing it becomes:
    What If Dr. Eggman stayed as Mr. Tinker?
    Now I know the events of Mr. Tinker and beyond are within the IDW comics and not the games, but it is confirmed that the IDW series is canon to the game continuity, so it wouldn’t be out of left field to make something out of those comics. Part of the idea came from a fan-comic based on this concept as-well as a dub of it.
    I’d imagine Eggman’s willingness to ditch his old life would mostly likely chalk down to him losing spectacularly in Sonic Forces, where the one time he succeeded conquering the world for 6 months was shattered by Sonic and The Resistance in only a few days, in addition with the genuine admiration and positivity he’s garnered from the Windmill Village residents as Mr. Tinker after the fact.
    Starline, Rough and Tumble however, wouldn’t be having any of it, especially after all the effort and dedication they’ve put in to this whole plan to try and bring back the old Eggman. Capturing Metal Sonic shortly later, Starline makes a slight readjustment to his programming to make him align with Starline after the figurative death of Eggman.
    Mr. Tinker treks back to Windmill Village and tells everyone (including the Chaotix and the rest of the Sonic crew present) what occurred when he was kidnapped. Sonic’s thrilled to hear Eggman truly deciding to turn over a new leaf, but Shadow is highly skeptical.
    The rest of it though, I’ll leave you to decide.

    Awesome video bro! And did you know that as Sonic is a LOZ fan Infinite is basically Sonic's version of Skull Kid/Majora's Mask? And when people first saw Sage in the trailer they actually thought she was Infinite's daughter but since Sega likes to make Zero sense with Eggman being her father. People now say he would be a second father figure to her. People even said that Sage looks like a mix between Infinite and a Seedrian like Cosmo.

    Also idea coming your way
    What if the master emerald was gone
    In this au the master emerald is permanently destroyed
    Except for one shard that contains a surprise for sonic aka the person who will be holding on to the shard
    Knuckles would blame sonic for it all even though sonic was trying to help
    (This could take place at any appropriate time)
    Sonic being the the only one to find and hold on to the last shard he soon discovered inside the shard contained no other then Tikal the echidna
    Seeing as how the master emerald and chaos were no more she promised to protect sonic and his friends from now on
    That's all I got
    The rest is up to you

    Lemme just say, I loved EVERYTHING about this "What If"!
    though the only thing that I thought didn't make sense was, Infinite lost his squad to Shadow who supposedly killed them... if that is still the case here, why would Infinite accept to be recruited into the resistance with Shadow? surely he would hate his guts after what happened!
    the only thing I could think of to make sense of this would be that Shadow didn't kill them, and just left them like he did with Infinite. and the squad would leave Infinite because they thought he wasn't worthy of a leader because he couldn't take on Shadow.
    either my theory is correct, or what's the deal?
