Role Model

When was the last time a Sonic animation was bad?
It's more that it's on tiktok. Aka a platform that would prolly get Banned in China (ironically) and the US both.
Growing up watching Tiny Toons, Pup named Scooby Doo and Tom & Jerry kids, I was slightly hopeful the franchise would've produced something within the same vein.
Instead, we got... A Tik Tok show. Doesn't look like they de-aged the cast, just turned them into some weird baby-chibi hybrid.
Disappointed? Yes. Not surprised? Also yes.
Certified, self-appointed Sonic VisionaryIt's Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy...
De-aging them would've led to a pretty obvious result.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Sonic Babies! ...except none of the cast canonically knew each other when they were younger.
Thinking about it, this is literally the safest way to fill that void for Spin-Off Babies without actual babies, aimed at actual babies, SEGA can produce. If they want Sonic's popularity to grow around the world, boiling the simplicity down to this makes that easier.
Certified, self-appointed Sonic VisionarySomeone noticed that in the tail-end of the Fast Friends Forever video, there's shots from cutscenes
in Sonic Heroes.
Still probably means nothing, right? Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence?
It's to announce a surprise new sequel to Sonic Heroes. It will be called Sonic Villains, and each of the four teams will be comprised of different villains from across the Sonic franchise. And also Team Dark, because they technically qualify for both.
With Sonic and his friends deciding to go out on vacation, all of his nemeses come out of the woodwork to try and steal the Chaos Emeralds for themselves.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Hmm, what teams would there be?
- Team Dark: Rouge, Shadow, Omega
- The Deadly Six
- The Babylon Rogues
- The Hooligans: Fang, Bean, Bark, and possibly Trip (all four letter words that can be both nouns and verbs with different meanings, huh)
- The Hard Boiled Heavies
- Eggman's Kids/Clutch: Sage, Metal Sonic, Orbot, Cubot
- Alternatively a team of the various metal versions of Sonic
- Team Put on a Bus: Johnny (Captain Whisker is almost definitely dead), Infinite, the Shadow Androids outside of IDW comics
- IDW mercenaries: Rough and Tumble, Mimic
And then of course Eggman, Nega, and THE END are out there, but not liable to make a real team of any sort anymore.
Humorous inclusion of Team Dark aside, there's actually a lot of villains and anti-heroes. I'm probably even forgetting some. Though unless Infinite comes back, only the Deadly Six could believably be a major villain in a major crisis that doesn't involve Eggman. Most of the others are either small-scale, or work for some version of Eggy.

Speaking of the teams idea, I had a neat idea once for a Sonic game where villains were a team-up of Eggman's most intelligent and dangerous creations: SAGE, Metal, Heavy King, etc.
With the gag that while Infinite is in the game and is a recurring boss, his whole bit in the story is that he really wants to join the evil team-up but they won't let him.
It's kinda weird how as far as the games go, the Classic games era introduced a ton of still-active (relative to their time period) antagonists, with them being retroactively added:
- Classic: Eggman, Metal Sonic (multiple, but I'm just counting the main one), Wendy Witchcart and her gang, Fang, Bean, Bark, Heavy King (potentially the other heavies), Trip
- Adventure: Shadow, Rouge, Omega
- Boost: Nega, the Babylon Rogues, Johnny, Orbot, Cubot, the Deadly Six
- Modern: Sage, THE END

If Sonic Villains has 4 teams like the previous game, it could go like this:
- Team Metal: Metal Sonic (Speed), Tails Doll (Fly), and Metal Knuckles (Power).
- Team Mecha: Mecha Sonic Mk II (Speed), Mecha Sonic Model No.29 (Fly), and Mecha Sonic Mk: I (Power)
- Team Babylon: Jet (Speed), Wave (Fly), and Storm (Power).
- Team Reject: Dr. Starline (Speed), Infinite (Fly) and Eggman Nega (Power).
I'd say if they're gonna bring back Starline as well, they might as well go with Sure and Kit and have it set before they broke free of his control to avoid/mitigate trauma related Unfortunate Implications
You can also make the case for Team Prime with Kit (Fly), Dread (Power) and either Rusty Rose or Chaos Sonic (Speed)

"May your heart be your guiding key"
