I am confused, horrified, and yet somewhat appreciable.

But that purple color is ugly. D=

I think Super Scourge looks awesome. I wasn't expecting purple but he still looks cool anyway!

Egads, I seem to have remembered that convo from somewhere!! Perhaps the Ask Ian thread of the MoFo 'twas where it 'twas at?

That is awesome. Hopefully that doesn't mean Silver wasn't completely useless the issue before, though.

...AWSOME!!! Scourge's super form is marvoules! (He's got satam robotnik eyes to boot!) BHut i wonder will his name just be super scourge or somthing else like Supreme scourge (Since he's a king) Or Somthing more menicing Like Sadistic scourge or Omega Scourge? (as in that form of scourge spells the end to those who dare crosshim!) Can't wait...Sux i still havn't got 193 ...yet!

Nah, I know which thread you're talking about, but it wasn't the ask Ian one over here. It was here, but I don't remember which one. If he had seen this before hand, he probably would have made Super Scourge's colors different to avoid the whole fan Submitted idea thing.

In Sonic Universe news, Ian has uploaded a tease for the Sonic Universe #1 Cover:

Looks like Blaze will be in SU #1 as well as Metal Sonic and Shadow. I edited the main post with this too.

This awesome cover, makes me want to start reading up on the Sonic Comics, to go see how I feel about them, and have it so that if I'm into them, I'll collect alot of them.

So will we be retconning "golden super-form" Super Scourge for this one, or is this Super form achieved in a different way, thus the alternate coloring?

I can't speak for Ian, but I'm guessing it's a retcon. Although, I suppose if Scourge used his worlds version of the chaos emeralds there might be an alt. affect. I still think it's a retcon. I'll have to go find it, but Ian stated somewhere that when they made that profile, they weren't sure if Scourge would be that popular or if he would be used again. It was just a placeholder for the original profile.

Bingo. You can pretty much assume the Scourge and Finitevus data files need to be updated.

So Scourge isn't gold or red? The purple's still an interesting change that's much appreciated. I would have commented it did look a touch girly with the pink boots to match, but the eyes more than make up for it, it looks like metal sonic. I also like the flames turning blue on his shoulders. Nice touch.

Huh. Everyone else's super-state doesn't change their attire, so why does it affect Scourge's?

Burning Blaze would like a word.

There really isn't anything consistent about what changes with any transformation. Super Sonic (and apparently Super Silver)'s eyes change, but Super Shadow's don't. Tails gets birds. Darkspine apparently loses his "clothing" and gets racing stripes. Blaze's outfit changes from dark purple to bright red.

No, he gets a cape; but Lea was talking about the super-forms in the games.

Actually, Tails does get birds. It's just that not everyone remembers to draw them.

I'm almost 99.9 percent positive the golden flickies have shown up more than once in Archie Sonic under a Turbo Tails transformation.

Actually, that was "Hyper Tails" during their fight with Naugus. A totally different transformation. =

That's Marine the Raccoon. She was introduced in the Sonic Rush Adventure game. She also appeared in the comic in the Sonic Rush Adventure Tie-in backup in #181.

Wowza!! Scourge goes SUPER!!! I just saw this for the first time. I never really expected to see him go super because I thought he was already in semi-super form.

Seeing how awesome and powerful Scourge is now, it makes me wonder how he ever got beaten up by Antoine (see STH # 112)

Because he hadn't gotten his special Master Emerald boost at that point?
Because Antoine's more capable when he's not being cowardly?
Because it was for comedic effect?

I want Scourge's crown. SO. BAD. D: He can keep his fugly shoes, though.

Also, what is it with angsty/defeated heroes on covers that makes me want to read them that much more? I can't wait for 195 and this one.

I've seen some racing bicycle helmets that look really similar to Scourge's crown.
