3237-3238: Meanwhile on Mobius
Note: Relative order of events in this section uncertain.

* Dr. Finitevus, the scientist who absorbed some of Knuckles' chaos powers, is deemed a threat to Albion due to his powers, revolutionary ideals, and dangerous inventions. He is sentenced to execution, but manages to escape.
-- Sonic 182: "Albion's Shameful Secret". After Sonic 94. Presumably around the time Finitivus joined the Legion, which is sometime during the year-ahead-leap.

* Dr. Finitevus joins forces with Robotnik long enough to lead his forces to Albion. Albion is destroyed.
-- Sonic 182: "Albion's Shameful Secret". Sometime after his escape from Albion. It is uncertain whether he had joined the Legion yet at this point.

* General Von Stryker's son General Kage Von Stryker gets a cybernetic upgrade from Eggman. He takes control of the Dingo Armada, arming them with Eggman weaponry, and uses them to conquer Angel Island in the name of Eggman. The Brotherhood (except for Locke) prevent the Master Emerald from falling into Eggman's hands but are severely injured, and are captured by Dr. Finitevus who examines them to learn about their powers. The Dark Legion begin rescuing Echidnas from Dingo prison camps and form a resistance group, based in the Hidden Palace Zone.
-- Sonic 138, 139. Finitevus from 183: "ashes and dust".

* Dr. Finitevus joins the Dark Legion. Dimitri finds himself to be dying despite his cybernetics, so he enlists Finitevus' help. Finitevus reduces Dimitri to a head in a floating orb in the process of his research.
-- Sonic 180: "Preperations For War". After Finitevus leaves Albion; during the year-skip. Placement in relation to the Dingo takeover uncertain.

* When Finitevus finishes examining the Brotherhood, he banishes the Brotherhood to the Twilight Zone.
-- Sonic 183: "ashes and dust". After Dimitri has been reduced to a head.

* Robotnik accidentally creates ADAM (Autonomous Digital Assault Microbe), a sentient computer virus. ADAM takes control of Robotnik's computers and robots, but willingly submits to Robotnik's control.
-- Sonic 132: "ADAM and Evil". Nine months prior to "Home".

* Robotnik builds Mecha "M" Robotnik, an android with the appearance of an Overlander female.
-- prior to "Home".

* "Patch" (Evil Antoine) attempts to send Evil Sonic to Mobius Prime, but Evil Sonic turns the tables on him. While he's at it, Evil Sonic kidnaps Prime Antoine and blackmails him into taking "Patch"'s place. Bunnie and Evil Antoine "break up".
-- Sonic 150: "From Hero To Zero". The breakup is six months prior to "Home", according to Sonic 133: "Finale".

* King Max recovers his ability to walk.
-- Sonic 130

* While tending to the wounded in battle, Dr. Quack steps on a land mine. He looses his left eye, and requires the use of a cane from then on.

-- With what we know of Antoine thanks to Sonic 150, this story is either non-continuity, or takes on a whole different meaning. Either way, the artist's take on Bunnie is an anachronism.
