In fact, Dr. Eggman (voice of Brian Drummond) is there as effectively.
Over the course of Sonic Prime season one the chums grow to be pirates, forest natives, and even machines. Sonic is the one fixed all through, which actually seems like a missed alternative. His sneakers and gloves change relying on which universe he’s in, however that’s it.

Issues are left broad open for a season two, which is nice, and all of us definitely hope we get one. However the ending is such a cliffhanger that it feels as if there is no such thing as a decision in anyway. Many followers will probably be seeking to see in the event that they in some way missed a ninth episode, however alas, the season solely has eight.
