* PuppetKing: this has been speculated that 'The End' was manipulating the Acorn royalty via, 'The Source' till it was outright confirmed by WordOfGod.
-->'''Sora Neki''': Honestly, Max Acorn struck me as a man who never once doubted the advice of the Source of All. Even after it became painfully obvious that it was lying about being able to see the future. Even after it was destroyed. While I'm sure the poison didn't help, I have to wonder if the main reason for Max's slow decline was in fact the encroaching realisation that the being he had entrusted all his life with everything that he had... was just taking him for a ride.
-->'''The Infamous Man''': That is very true. And the moment he tried to make a decision for himself and had Geoffrey go off to get a Chaos Emerald, basically going behind his son's back, that trust was betrayed and Max began to spiral because now he truly figured out he didn't know what was happening anymore.
** As seen in chapter 32, even in the grips of madness he still seeks the source for guidance.

** There are several jabs at some of the more questionable writing choices of Creator/KenPenders during his time on the comics, such as Whisper expressing confusion on why a history book of the pre-SGW universe she's reading has a habit of going on what seems like out-of-character tangents about the importance of the echidna race and their "superiority", or how Espio in the sidestories despite listening in mounting horror at what happened to the pre-SGW Charmy can only be befuddled at the event of Charmy's best friend dying to an LSD-laced hotdog and questioning the motive of the drug dealer responsible, to which [[spoiler:Julie-Su]] can only reply with "insanity".

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Antoine's injuries are this. The author makes it quite clear that it's a miracle that Antoine survived the way he did, and him using the nanites to be up and about is creating its own toll on his body.

** The after-effects of major calamities were often brushed aside or given a quick mention in the IDW comic, due to the age rating. In here, it is noted that the Metal Virus resulted in a major manpower loss for the Restoration, with many surviving members quitting due to their horrific experiences.

** Amy's tenure as the Restoration commander was given incredulous reactions from the Archie cast like Hershey, who mainly knew her as the crazy berserk immature lover of the Freedom Fighters who wasted a life-saving magic ring (Ring of Acorns) to make herself older (for those who knew about it) and was surprised the Restoration lasted as long as it did under her. What they don't know is that this Amy was a seasoned warrior and field leader who effectively kept the Restoration together during a world-wide war and pandemic, only quitting due to the massive amount of stress and paperwork.

** Chapter 4 has Hershey being supposedly her IDW incarnation with no memories of the Archie world, leaving Sally aghast at at her own actions of not treating her like her own person by forcing Nicole's memory restoration on her. The very next section has Hershey go to a security blind spot and ''mutter Sally's name in regret and sadness''. The real shocker is that afterwards, she takes out a hidden communicator and this line pops out on the other side when trying to report, singlehandedly dropping this big bombshell:
--->''This is Agent King. Go ahead, Priestess.''
** Chapter 6 drops this big revelation on top Mina Mongoose being still alive and kicking, in shock that everything she knows about doesn't exist or is vastly different. She gets picked up by some supposed goons in suits who give her a card and message. The message was about how they apparently know each other. As for what the card said?

** Metal Sonic was at worse CannonFodder that had multiple copies to throw away and at best a strong but disposable badnik Archieverse Robotnik/Eggman wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice and remake as he needed, so Sally, Nicole, and Mina initially treat his arrival in Studiopolis like he's a drone being controlled by Eggman. What they don't realize is that ''this'' Metal Sonic is the the doctor's MagnumOpus in terms of combat badniks with a fully developed AI and will, and he's [[UnstoppableRage very pissed off]] at said treatment of his previous selves and dismissal as a mere tool. He proceeds to show he fully anticipated Nicole trying to hack and erase his AI and turns it back on her with Phage, and then proceeds to mangle Sally's hands.

What they don't realize is that ''this'' Metal Sonic is the the current doctor's MagnumOpus in terms of combat badniks with a fully developed AI and will, will that's here of his own initiative (motivated by the well-being of the Empire or not), and he's [[UnstoppableRage very pissed off]] at said treatment of his previous selves and dismissal as a mere tool.
