Rotor? You're kidding, right? (:3 I don't think he'd know a
proposition if it whacked him over the head; he's more interested in
hardware than, ahem, software... besides, I just don't think he's
Bunnie's type, though he's about the best person in the camp to
understand her unique condition. I have my own theory on who she might
wind up shacking up with eventually, though, and if you're not nice I
might inflict it on you. (:3

(nods) Agreed. No way would they let him leave Knothole if he were 4 or
5. The only reason they let him go on missions *now* is probably
shorthandedness...

So how 'come she was found in that casing, as the FAQ states? She go
missing?

Given a continuity error, I prefer to believe the SatAM show. (:3

Good point! If he's going to be hauling people around a lot, he should
have a harness or something they can strap into... (:3

Pretty Darn Fast. (:3 Seriously, I believe he's limited to sub-sonic
speeds (no relation) without a Power Ring. The episode you mention
seems to contradict this, but there's evidence for the position in the
episodes.

Wierd thought: does anybody else think of Wally West when they read or
hear Sonic described as "the fastest thing alive"? (:3
