Part I:
A Crabmeat was discovered with Sonic the Hedgehog comic books.  It says it did it for Robotnik and that it wondered what would happen if Robotnik had robots with super powers.  Robotnik likes the idea and uses Crabmeat and a swatbot for extra parts.  He later reveals a site on television that will be a toxic dump.  Sonic speeds by, and Robotnik calls on 'Botman.  After several attempts, Sonic is unable to defeat Botman and Robotnik is convinced that Sonic is dead.

Part II:
As Robotnik celebrates, a pile of robot parts are discovered.  Botman collapses, and Sonic says that he gutted the robot while Robotnik wasn't looking.  Robotnik takes Crabmeat's other comics and starts sending out other robots.  First he sends out a Wolverine robot, but due to an error it is a Wolvurkel robot (Urkel from the TV show "Family Matters").  Next, Robotnik sends out Spawnmower.  While the robot poses, Sonic simply pulls its spark plug.  Robotnik also sends Magbot, Captain Marbot, and Mighty 'Bot; Sonic destroys all three of them.  Sonic charges after Robotnik, but he slips on some oil.  Robotnik runs away, and Sonic realizes that the bad guy always gets away at the end of the comic.  Later, back at Knothole, the freedom fighters celebrate.  Rotor says that with all of the inside jokes, the issue will be collectible.

"A Little Sonic Goes a Long Way"
Script:  Mike Gallagher
Pencils:  Dave Manak
Inking:  Jon D'Agostino

Part I:
Sonic plays a guitar and the music travels into Robotropolis.  Robotnik screams because he hates music.  Snively shows Robotnik a machine that will shrink things for an hour.  Robotnik plans to use it on Sonic.  The freedom fighters later follow Sonic to the old Mobius Concert Hall.  Once they step inside, Robotnik shrinks them and tries to use a vacuum to suck them into his robot maker.

Part II:
Sonic runs to a box and uses his sonic spin to cut out a hole.  Old concert programs fly out, clogging Robotnik's machine.  The freedom fighters run for cover while Sonic heads for Robotnik.  Robotnik accidentally falls into the orchestra pit, destroying his machine.  He jumps from his machine with a tiny robot maker and uses it to suck up Sonic.  The freedom fighters use a bass to launch things at Robotnik.  They knock the machine out of Robotnik's hands.  Just then the hour ends, making all of the freedom fighters larger (and releasing Sonic from the machine).  The freedom fighters each pick up an instrument and begin to play.  Robotnik runs out screaming.  Although Robotnik is gone, there are still badniks that are coming.  The freedom fighters decide to use the shrinking device, and Robotnik winds up with many mini badniks in his office.


Sonic-Grams highlights:
 ~ More freedom fighters are listed for coloring in a panel from issue #2
 ~ Sonic writes a note saying that they're not going to post any more names and asks kids to send in their own drawings of Sonic.
