[edit] About this Issue
[edit] 1st Story Summary
- "Olympic Trials and Error" - Part One
At the beginning of this issue, Sonic the Hedgehog is playing baseball, while Tails watches. Sonic hits a ball, then tries to catch it, but slams into a huge building. This building turns out to be an olympic stadium created by Dr. Robotnik. A SWATbot challenges Sonic to the olympic games, but before he accepts the challenge, he runs back to Freedom HQ to discuss this with the Freedom Fighters.
Sally is cautious of the event, but allows the Freedom Fighters to compete in the olympics, anyway. Tails is eager to join, but Antoine tells him he isn't good at athletics, so Tails decides to build a sculpture for the Freedom Fighters, after the olympics, as a prize.
Once they arrive, a SWATbot explains to Robotnik that he stole Sonic's shoes, while he went for a swim, and replaced them with energy-draining sneakers. The SWATbot threw out Sonic's old sneakers, thinking it was a good idea, however it was the exact opposite, for Robotnik would have used them as a trophy. The first olympic sport is a running challenge. Sonic enters it, but quickly looses, due to his energy-draining shoes.
- "Olympic Trials and Error" - Part Two
Sonic is worn out and tired, but the Freedom Fighters take his place, instead. Antoine competes in the long jump, but looses against Splats. Sally competes in the swimming challenge, but looses against a squid-like robot. Finally, Rotor competes in the weight lifting challenge, but is beaten by a SWATbot. The Freedom Fighters have all lost, but Robotnik claims there is still one more olympic game: a race against one of Robotnik's fastest Buzzbombers.
Meanwhile, Tails is looking for items to make a sculpture, in a junk yard, but instead finds Sonic's real shoes! He rushes to the olympics, to give them to Sonic, but the race has already begun. Buzzbomber is in the lead of the race, while Antoine is puffing along, behind. Tails quickly gives Sonic his non-energy-draining shoes, and he rushes off to confuse Buzzbomber. Sonic makes Buzzbomber turn around, and race to the starting line, while Antoine makes it to the finish.
Afterwards, Sonic destroys a robot-making machine (which would be used on the Freedom Fighters if they lost), and scares off Robotnik. Sonic thanks Tails for his speed, while Antoine lies by the side of the finish line, out of breath.
[edit] 2nd Story Summary
- "Chomp on THIS, Chump"
Sonic and Tails are trying to remove a spoon from Sally's pancake batter, while Rotor is determined to get an ant-farm, from an ad in a magazine. Rotor orders the ant-farm, but little does he know, this is a trick that Robotnik is playing on him.
The next day, Rotor recieves the ant-farm, but no ants. Instead, he gets a giant pest, which is known as the Termite-Nator. The Termite-Nator eats all the paper and wooden furniture in the Freedom HQ, while the Freedom Fighters watch in distress. Sonic decides to use the same recipe Sally did to make the yeasty pancake dough.
Once Sonic makes it, he dashes to the Great Forest to get a log. He stuffs the pancake dough into the log, and feeds it to the Termite-Nator, stuffing him up. Rotor discovers that the Termite-Nator is really a robot, made by Robotnik. He adjusts the wires in the Termite-Nator to make it eat metal, instead of wood, and sends him off to Robotropolis to devour Robotnik and his Badniks.

[edit] Trivia
The octopus bot is based on the Octus badnik (known as Octar in Japan) from the Oil Ocean Zone in the Genesis game Sonic the Hedgehog 2. There is no notable design difference between game and comic versions. Octus spins into the air to shoot at unwanted visitors in the game. The octopus bot goes unnamed here, and appears to spin its tentacle base around to swim. There is no known connection between this octopus and Octobot.
