Rotor=

Rotor Walrus was a key member of the Knothole Freedom Fighters, using his skills and knowledge of technology and mechanics to provide the Mobians with an edge against the former despot Dr. Ivo Robotnik and, since his demise, the forces of Dr. Eggman. Following Sonic the Hedgehog's return from outer space, Rotor had limited his involvement with field operations and stuck to providing data and technological assistance. In 3237, he was voted in as a member of the new Council of Acorn. However, when Ixis Naugus' manipulations resulted in NICOLE being unjustly banished from New Mobotropolis, Rotor immediately resigned from the Council in disgust and returned to full field duty as the leader of the new Team Freedom.

Early Life and Family
Rotor hails from Walrus Island in the North Sea where his family was part of the Walrus Herd. His father, Sherman Walrus, was a veteran of the Great War, serving as a member of the Royal Army along side Jules, Bernadette and Sir Charles Hedgehog as a driver for their troop. Along with Rotor's mother Georgette Walrus, Sherman had relocated from Iceborough seeking a better life for his family. Rotor was in Mobotropolis for educational purposes during Dr. Ivo Robotnik's coup d'état but was evacuated to Knothole Village along with the other children in the city. His father perished while resisting Robotnik's takeover, while his mother-then pregnant with his younger brother, Skeeter Walrus-returned to the Northern Tundra. Inspired by the Original Freedom Fighters, Rotor joined with Sonic, Princess Sally, Antoine D'Coolette and the young Miles "Tails" Prower to form the Knothole Freedom Fighters after the original group's demise. His fascination for powerful weaponry-a result of having grown up listening to his father's stories of the Great War-coupled with the sometimes disastrous results of his engineering efforts, earned him the nickname "Boomer." (StH: #77, #142, #143, SSS: #5, CSE)

Knothole Freedom Fighter
When Sonic learned that Robotnik had allegedly developed a powerful bomb (it was really a bug bomb to deal with a pest problem), Rotor joined Sonic and Sally in tricking Robotnik with a phony protest, before disguising himself as Robotnik to steal the bomb (an easy task due to his size). Unfortunately, Robotnik had the idea of disguising himself as Rotor to trick the Freedom Fighters, but the mix-up was quickly resolved. Later, he and Sonic traveled the southern regions of Mobius, where the two witnessed the helpless Bunnie Rabbot captured by two SWATbots to be roboticized. Although Sonic went to save her, he was temporarily stopped as he was attached to Rotor by tether. After rescuing the partially-roboticized Bunnie, the two brought her back to Knothole Village where she became a member of the Freedom Fighters. (StH: #3)

When Sonic was amnesia-ridden and convinced by Dr. Robotnik to attack the Freedom Fighters, Rotor's security systems detected the micro-transmitter placed on Sonic to provide the location of Knothole. Rotor attempted to keep Sonic out of their secret hideout but was bypassed by Sonic with relative ease. Eventually Sonic's memory was restored and the device removed. (StH: #27, #28)

Rotor later developed the "Neuro-Overrider", a device which would allow a Mobian who was roboticized to maintain their free will. Sally hoped to use this to allow herself to be roboticized so she could then infiltrate Robotropolis and steal a roboticizer to learn how to reverse its effects. The Neuro-Overrider fell off Sally as she was roboticized however and she was robbed of her free will. She was safely restored to normal by Dulcy the Dragon. (StH: #29)

Search for the Herd
After receiving a distress call from his mother in the Northern Sea, Rotor piloted his Bathysphere and travelled there to see what was wrong. Upon his arrival, Rotor discovered his family and the entire Walrus Herd had been placed under mind control from a Neuron Bomb by Dr. Robotnik. When he discovered that Robotnik was hoping to freeze the entire planet, Rotor attempted to escape and warn his friends, but was knocked into the ocean by an Icebot. He was quickly rescued by two of the Arctic Freedom Fighters, Sealia and Augustus. The three then managed to infiltrate the Walrus Herd and Rotor attempted to free them of their mind control. However, the entire Herd attack Rotor, though Sealia and Augustus managed to save him and bring him to safety. Rotor vowed to return and liberate his family from Robotnik's mind control. (StH: #31, #32)

Continued Battle Against Robotnik
After the Knothole Freedom Fighters (except Sonic) were infected by a biochemical weapon from Robotnik, Rotor managed to inform Sonic of what had happened before falling unconscious. Sonic used the Shrink Ray to become microscopic and go inside Rotor to assist his Aunti Body in the fight against the French Frirus and Paris-Site. Sonic was successful and Rotor and the others recuperated. (StH: #33)

Following this, Rotor attempted to de-roboticize Sonic's Uncle Chuck. Despite his efforts, Chuck remained a Robian. (StH: #34)

Not long after this, Rotor created a remote which enabled the Freedom Fighters to travel to the Zone of Silence and locate Sally's father King Max. However, due to King Max being under some sort of spell, the Freedom Fighters are unable to retrieve him and are forced to return back to Mobius Prime. (StH: #36)

Some time later, Rotor sat on the council to review Sonic's idea to use the Neuro-Overrider and allow himself to be roboticized. Rotor objected along with the rest of the council, saying the idea was too risky. After Sonic was captured by Nack the Weasel and roboticized, Rotor helped prepare Bunnie to defend the village against Mecha Sonic. After Bunnie was defeated and Knuckles the Echidna was knocked out, Rotor managed to catch the Echidna in a net during his fall. As Knuckles came to he suffered from delusions, and attacked Rotor as he thought that (due to his weight) he was Robotnik. Sally managed to knock Knuckles back to his senses however and the fight continued. Rotor oversaw the Neuro-Overrider used on Knuckles to allow him to keep his free will while becoming Mecha Knuckles to combat Mecha Sonic. After the battle ended, Rotor worked with NICOLE to transform the damaged Mecha Sonic back to a Mobian. (StH: #39, SMM)

Weeks later, with the help of Rotor's Neutralizer, Sonic travelled to the Zone of Silence and was able to finally rescue King Max from the Zone of Silence. Following this, Rotor worked with Dr. Quack to create the Dream Watcher so that they could look into King Max's mind and bring him out of his comatose state. Sonic managed to do this, though King Max remained in his crystallized state. (StH: #41, #43)

Days later, Rotor revealed his new weapon to Sonic, the "Party-Hearty Quadra Sonic Rock 'N' Roller", as well as his Remote Scanner. The same day the Freedom Fighters found themselves working with Knuckles the Echidna to fight Anti-Knuckles and Anti Sonic. They then went to Anti Mobius where they discovered Dr. Ivo Robotnik stealing the energy from the Sunken Island's Chaos Emeralds. After Robotnik was transported back to Mobius Prime, Rotor was disappointed he never got to use his Remote Scanner during the ordeal. (StH: #44)

During Operation: EndGame, Rotor was in Knothole when Dr. Robotnik arrive on the scene. Saying "Robotnik in Knothole? Not in this lifetime!" he attempted to blast Robotnik with the Party-Hearty Quadra Sonic Rock 'N' Roller. Robotnik managed to phase out the gun's blast and destroy it, taking the entire village hostage. Rotor and Tails later managed to sneak into the sewer system, but were caught trying to escape by Combots. (StH: #48, #49)

Return to the Herd
With the death of Dr. Robotnik caused by the Ultimate Annihilator, Rotor decided to return to the Herd. When he arrived back he was relieved and astonished to find that the Herd had regained their free will as a result of the Ultimate Annihilator firing. He spent several weeks with the Walrus Herd, enjoying time with his mother and younger brother Skeeter. However, while there Rotor was unaware that Robo-Robotnik had travelled to Mobius Prime and replaced the late Dr. Robotnik. Thus when the herd suddenly came back under the mind control spell, Rotor did not know what was going on. Hiding out in his Bathysphere, the Herd managed to damage it and cause it to sink. Rotor was rescued by the Arctic Freedom Fighters, who informed him that Robotnik had returned. (StH: #72, #85)

Activities Against Eggman
Returning to Mobotropolis (as he was unaware it was re-conquered by Robo-Robotnik), Rotor found himself meeting up with Mina Mongoose and shortly afterwards Sonic. The group returned to Knothole and Rotor began attending Knothole High School along with his other Freedom Fighters. (StH: #91, #94, #96)

After the Freedom Fighters learned the Sword of Acorns could restore Robians' free will, Rotor asked that they could use it on the mind-controlled Herd to restore their free will as well. Returning to Walrus Island, Rotor planted a bomb on the Walrus-constructed Oil Rig while Sally used the Sword of Acorns to restore the Herd's free will. (StH: #109)

During Sonic's year in space, Rotor stepped up in the war against Robotnik by building even more powerful weapons. Unfortunately, his efforts led to not only the destruction of robots, but also to the injury of his fellow Freedom Fighters, including Larry Lynx. Horrified by what he had done, Rotor resolved never to construct another weapon, though he later assisted in the construction of the Metal Sonic Troopers to defend Knothole. He would later come to feel that this decision was a betrayal of his vow, though he also realized that he had perhaps gone too far in his efforts. (StH: #158, #215)

Rotor continued to help his friends in any way he could, even acting as a quasi-mentor to Tommy Turtle, helping him become acquainted with his new life. Unfortunately, this relationship came to an end after Tommy was enslaved by A.D.A.M., resulting in his death under the guns of the Egg Fleet. (StH: #168, #169)

Rotor was also one of the many citizens captured by Eggman during the destruction of Knothole, though quick action by the survivors of the attack resulted in a successful rescue mission. However, injuries to his back (caused by him shoving Tails free from beneath a collapsing roof during the destruction of Knothole) left him unable to participate in Freedom Fighter activities for some time afterwards. (StH: #175, #177)

Council Member
Rotor was elected a member of the new Council of Acorn, a group of six elected members and King Elias established to bring about some much-needed political changes in the Kingdom. Rather than get a break from the stress of combat, however, Rotor found himself in the middle of an even more dangerous situation: Knuckles' arch-nemesis, the Chaos Emerald powered entity called Enerjak, had been reborn thanks to the machinations of the Dark Legion scientist Dr. Finitevus and was intent on conquering Mobius. He and the other council members were informed of the issue by Dimitri, but voted against taking action until more information could be gathered. Fortunately, the matter was soon resolved by the efforts of Sonic and the Guardian Locke. (StH: #179, #180, #184)

Rotor was attacked by his Anti Mobius counterpart, Boomer, who mocked him for not being able to defend himself. Rotor was brought to tears when he was unable to help defend Freedom HQ from the Suppression Squad as a result of his neck injuries. Instead, he fled the scene to contact the Chaotix about the situation and later voted to send a mission to retake Freedom HQ, only to be outvoted by the rest of the Council. He later assisted Sonic in traveling to Moebius, an order given by Sally that later brought the Walrus to her defense when she was put on trial for defying an order the Council had given regarding Sonic. He would later provide backup for the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix in the final push against the Eggdome; after the Egg Phoenix was destroyed, Rotor erected a force field generator so the Freedom Fighters could call it a day, but he failed to get any sleep himself and instead readied the visual link to New Mobotropolis. He later stayed behind while the others went on the final assault, and after Sonic managed to defeat Eggman, Rotor helped transport them home in his jeep to celebrate their victory. (StH: #189, #190, #197, #198, #199, #200)

Their victory was cut short as the Iron Dominion took over the empire, which the Freedom Fighters would learn from Monkey Khan. When the Iron Queen took control of NICOLE and thus all of New Mobotropolis, Castle Acorn was sealed shut, trapping the royal family and Council of Acorn within. Rotor was later revealed to have been taken prisoner and was among those brought to the Coliseum for public "legionization" -- a process that forcefully converts a Mobian into a brainwashed Dark Legion cyborg. When Rotor was brought out before Snively, who was in charge of the operation, he angrily reminded the Overlander that they had worked together in the past; smugly dismissing this, Snively was caught by surprise when Rotor suddenly attacked the Legionnaires holding him, subduing them simultaneously before lunging at a terrified Snively. Unfortunately, Rotor's heroic efforts were quickly halted by his injured back flaring up. Fortunately, Amy Rose, Antoine and Geoffrey St. John soon appeared, and Amy destroyed the operating table to which Rotor was being dragged, scattering the villains and saving the walrus. (StH: #201, #208, #210)

Final Time Saving The Herd
With the threat of the Iron Dominion ended, Rotor and his fellow council members set about revising the new constitution of the Republic of Acorn. As such, Rotor did not accompany Sonic and Sally to become a member of the Wolf Pack Nation despite having been invited. Just as Sonic and Sally helped resolve a crisis there, however, Rotor was informed by Hamlin that the Arctic Freedom Fighters had called in with news that a Dark Egg Legion chapter had captured the Walrus Herd.(StH: #213, #214)



After learning of the situation, Sonic invited Rotor to go along with him, though Hamlin was quick to deny the Hedgehog's request, and Rotor agreed that he planned to stay in the city. However, after having NICOLE meet him at his house, he informed her that he had every intention of going to aid the Herd, requesting that she construct a suit of armor from the nanites for him. Departing, he flew to the Northern Tundra, contemplating his previous actions as a Freedom Fighter and determining that he would retire permanently once this mission was completed. Before he got to the battlefield, however, he was dragged out of the air by Silver the Hedgehog, whom he engaged briefly in battle only to find himself helpless. Silver then accused him of not being "Boomer" Walrus, and then of being a traitor to the Freedom Fighters. Silver attempted to short Rotor's battle armor and use his telekinesis to halt him, but when Rotor explained what was at stake with the safety of his Herd and the Tundra area as a whole, Silver agreed to help him. When they arrived, they quickly found Dr. Eggman's nearby base, and found a neural interface Eggman could use to control the herd personally. Silver used it to send a psychic pulse, breaking the Herd's mind control and also scrambling the Orca members of the Dark Egg Legion in the area. Silver later said he also sent a signal that would forever block the Walrus Herd from future mind control attempts. He also figured out for himself that Rotor was indeed "Boomer", but the information he had about him was out-of-date. (StH: #215, #216)

Naugus and NICOLE
When Geoffrey St. John seemingly betrayed Sonic during a mission and went MIA, the Council of Acorn was unsure of how to respond, as they had no way of knowing if Geoffrey, leader of the Secret Service, was working on secret orders. Additionally, they were left to deal with ever-increasing public concern over NICOLE's control of the city. Unknown to everyone, these issues became tied as Geoffrey, working with Ixis Naugus, manipulated the public's fears of NICOLE in order to set Naugus up as a potential savior of the people and giving his bid to take control of the Republic of Acorn more sway. Rotor pushed his fellow councilors to discuss the issue with NICOLE, as the AI had been emotionally hurt by the public's increased fear and hatred of her, but when they were about to do so, Naugus himself arrived before the council, claiming the crown as rightfully his. Rotor was vehemently opposed to this, even going so far as to attempt to rally the other former Freedom Fighters among the council, but thanks to the wizard's ability to twist and amplify negative emotions, everyone soon began bickering with each other. Eventually, to Sonic and Rotor's displeasure, it was decided that the matter be dealt with formally and that Naugus be given a chance to argue his claim. However, all were taken by surprise by the unexpected launch of the new Death Egg. (StH: #219, #222, #223, #224)

As the Freedom Fighters united to head into battle, the Royal Guard began ushering the council to the safety of the Royal Military Headquarters. However, Rotor ducked out with the intention of returning home to change into his nanite suit and join his friends in battle. He began changing when suddenly, the Genesis Wave enveloped Mobius... (FCBD: #6)

Genesis
After a mysterious weapon fired from within the Death Egg, the world became awash in white. Soon after, Sonic found himself in a strange but oddly familiar setting; he eventually came across a prison pod and released those inside it, who introduced themselves as Sally Acorn, Antoine Depardieu and Boomer Walrus, having seemingly never met before. The group explained that they believed one Dr. Eggman to be responsible for several recent kidnappings, and Boomer added that he might be behind the increased number of earthquakes lately. Sonic agreed to help them hunt down the doctor. In the Marble Zone, they were attacked by Eggman's robots; Boomer captured and disabled a Catakiller with his bare hands, impressing Sonic, and then set to reprogramming a damaged Buzzbomber, thinking it would be good to have the extra help. He did not want to stoop to Eggman's level and force a small animal to act as the robot's power supply, however, but Sally was able to get a Flicky bird to volunteer. This proved useful, as Boomer later used the Buzzbomber to airlift himself and Antoine to safety. Eventually, Sonic caught up to Dr. Eggman and fought him, forcing the doctor to retreat; Boomer was thoroughly impressed, and the group continued on to an underground tunnel they believed would lead them to the doctor's lair. After becoming separated from Antoine in the Labyrinth Zone, Boomer and his comrades pressed on through the Star Light Zone and finally into the Scrap Brain Zone, where Boomer almost fell down a pit. Soon, the group found Eggman deep with his Final Zone base, as well as a waterlogged Antoine. After dealing with Eggman's final machine of death, Sonic sent the doctor hurtling out of his base in his destroyed Eggmobile. As Boomer and the heroes watched as the Doctor descended, Sonic voiced his inkling that they hadn't seen the last of the omelette dictator. (StH: #225, #226, #227)

With the matter of the mysterious earthquakes still shaking things up, the heroes set out to find the cause, now accompanied by Sonic's buddy Tails. After making it out of the Chemical Plant Zone in one piece, Sonic decided that he wants to head directly to Eggman's new base. Taking Tails, Boomer and the others were left to make their way through the Oil Ocean Zone, where they were nearly wiped out by aerial badniks. Nonetheless, they soon made it to the centre of the refinery and shut off the oil pipelines, leaving Eggman's bases without power. When Sonic set off another Genesis Wave aboard the Death Egg, now high up in space, Boomer began to panic as everything around him started whiting out, but a smiling Sally assured the walrus that everything would be fine; while baffled by the fact that she referred to him as "Rotor" during this exchange, he nonetheless trusted his friend in her certainty, as the planet completely faded to white. (StH: #228, #229)

Return to Duty
When the Prime Zone returned to its original state, Rotor found himself in his home, midway into changing out of his councillors uniform. Rotor struggled to recall why he was doing this, before glancing out of the window and noticing the new Death Egg glaring down over the city; it all came back to him. He was in the process of donning his nanite suit in order to join the Freedom Fighters in combatting the flying fortress, but as he caught sight of the Tornado and Freedom Fighter Special zipping around in the sky, he realised the city needed him to do his duty as a part of the council. (FCBD: #6)

In the aftermath of Eggman's Operation: Clean Sweep, Sally was roboticized, while Naugus took advantage of New Mobotropolis' fear of NICOLE, unwittingly caused by Mina, to save the city from a Titan Metal Sonic and usurp Elias as king. When the Council took a vote to exile NICOLE to Freedom HQ, everyone but Rotor voted to do so because it was what the people wanted. Rotor was so disgusted and upset by the turnout that he resigned from the council right then and there. (StH: #235)

With Sally's roboticization, Antoine's severe injuries, and Bunnie's departure, the Knothole Freedom Fighters were forced to disband. However, Rotor, along with Sonic, Tails, and Amy, successfully convinced the Council (sans Naugus) to approve two new Freedom Fighter teams: Team Freedom, who would protect the city itself, and Team Fighters, who would pursue Eggman's forces. Rotor himself used a special power suit that circumvented his back injury and let him return to active duty. (StH: #236)

As the leader, Rotor accepted Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit, and Cheese, and also rebuilt Heavy and Bomb, bringing the roster to six members. Though Naugus continued to dismiss the group's reliability, Team Freedom proved their worth when the community center collapsed due to an unseen attack by Tails Doll; with Naugus incapacitated due to inner personal matters, Rotor and his team sprang into action and successfully stopped the collapse, simultaneously gaining public support and discrediting Naugus. The team further distinguished themselves when the Death Egg returned to the city, launching Egg Swats and Team Metal. Bravely leading his new team, Rotor activated the shield generator only for it to be destroyed, and then assigned Cream to lead civilians to safety while the more seasoned members of the group continued fighting. Naugus arrived on the scene and attempted to prove Team Freedom's superfluousness with a blast of crystalline magic on some Egg Swats, only for his body to undergo a hideous and painful mutation. Grudgingly complimenting the wizard's skill in the hopes of getting him back into the fight, Rotor defended his unwanted king and called on Big to carry him to safety. He then went up against Metal Tails, and was able to destroy the robot after Elias-working with his new Secret Freedom Fighters-damaged the robot with a crossbow bolt. The team celebrated their victory, though Rotor came to suspect that they had been aided from the shadows. (StH: #236, #240)

Rotor's next task was nothing as dangerous-using his suit's ability to interact with the nanites, he opened a door with a broken lock affected by Larry Lynx's jinx. Penelope thanked him for his assistance, joking that he couldn't seem to stop working for the council between leading Team Freedom and working with the nanites. She asked him if he "unclog[ged] drains too" to which Rotor replied that he could and that he would just need to get Big so that he could use his fishing rod. Shortly afterwards, Rotor and the rest of Team Freedom attended a concert held by Mina Mongoose that was aimed at raising support for bringing NICOLE back to the city. When the stage unexpectedly collapsed-again courtesy of Tails Doll-Rotor and his team leaped into action to save Mina and her band, the Forget Me Knots. (StH: #241)

Rotor later joined NICOLE at the ribbon cutting for the restored Castle Acorn, where he assured the AI that the people had no reason to distrust her. He also expressed gratitude at the absence of both Naugus and Geoffrey, though NICOLE chastised him for being so unkind given Naugus' condition. After learning of her efforts to complete a device created for the wizard's benefit, he remarked that she was too kind, but was then shocked as the castle began to crumble. He then asked whether the foundation was failing, but was informed that something was affecting the nanites. Cream then approached him with the theory that Tails Doll was behind it, though she was initially embarrassed by her convoluted explanation. Rotor was quick to praise her reasoning, and decided to put the theory to the test. Their suspicions were proved correct as Tails Doll, believing Team Freedom to be occupied, entered the city power station only to find the heroes lying in wait. Unfortunately, they were then forced to face the robot's true power as it used a number of reprogrammed nanites to create a demonic new form for itself. (StH: #247)


 * -|Cream=

"I'm so terribly sorry! That was so rude of me!"

- Cream being polite

Cream the Rabbit is a young Mobian rabbit who lived an idyllic life with her mother Vanilla and her pet Chao Cheese until the evil of Dr. Eggman entered their world. Since then she has found herself a friend to some of Mobius' most noble heroes, including Amy Rose and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Homes & Gardens
Cream and her mother lived in a mansion on their plantation in the Southern Baronies, which was also home to a Chao Garden where she became good friends with the Chao, and named one Cheese. Cheese became Cream's constant companion, and Cream gifted him with a red bowtie that set him apart from the other Chao. The Rabbit family took it upon themselves to watch over the gentle creatures and help them grow up in peace and safety. Eventually, however, Snively Robotnik tracked an energy source from the Chao Garden at their home and came to claim it for the Eggman Empire. As Cream fruitlessly tried to herd the Chao into the house's cellar, Amy Rose arrived and started knocking Snively's mech around. Wanting to help save the Chao, Cream then flew her over top the mech's cockpit despite Vanilla's concerns for her safety, whereupon Amy smashed it with her Piko Piko Hammer and caused it to crash onto Cream's house. Cream became upset afterwards because the Chao had no place to live while she and Vanilla had to move to New Mobotropolis, and wanted to stay until Amy realized some of the Chao had lived in Knothole before its destruction. To the delight of Cream, Amy had NICOLE set up the Lake of Rings in New Mobotropolis as a new Chao Garden, and Cream was happy to relocate to the city with her old friends and her newest one. (StH: #217, CSE)

Sol Sisters
While Cream and her mother were being given a tour of the Freedom HQ by Amy, NICOLE reported a strange energy reading and Vanilla allowed Cream to go with Amy to investigate. Cream was delighted to be on an adventure, but found it unfortunate that Freedom HQ was located in an "ugly" area as Amy explained what happened during the Destruction of Knothole. They were soon attacked by Blaze the Cat, and Amy fought with her until Cream showed they had been after a broken glass bottle. Cream then chased after the moritfied Blaze, seeing she was troubled, and got her to explain she was seeking a Sol Emerald. Cream and Amy then offered to help and Blaze followed them as NICOLE tracked the signal into the Great Forest, where they were joined by Rouge the Bat, who overheard them talking. Coming to a deep ravine, Cream flew Amy to the bottom and prepared to deal with dead tree branch that broke off towards them in mid-flight until Blaze and Rouge destroyed it first. The group finally found the Sol Emerald inside a root cavern, at which point Rouge attempted to steal the emerald, shocking Cream at her utter dishonesty as she attempted to confront Rouge with the others, only for her to nearly be knocked aside by the bat. (SU: #21)

Cream found herself facing more trouble when Rouge called in Shadow the Hedgehog and E-123 Omega for backup and everyone soon scrambled for the Sol Emerald. Cream recovered it at one point, eventually getting the emerald into Cheese's grasp, and ordered him to flee. When Team Dark tried to force another Sol Emerald from Blaze, it lead to a fiery explosion that gave Team Rose the opportunity to escape. Cream flew ahead to find Cheese, horrified to see him captured by Team Hooligan and became a prisoner herself until Blaze gave chase to Nack's fleeing bike and rescued her. By then, Team Dark arrived and incapacitated Amy and Blaze, leaving Cream to try rescuing them alone until she was grabbed by Omega and broke down that they no longer had the Emerald. Eventually, the two groups teamed up to track down Nack, Bean, & Bark before they got away, and Cream and Cheese sat in the sidecar of Shadows' bike with Omega, trying to make friends with the killer robot who deemed Cream "too cute to eviscerate" - a word she didn't understand. After a while, the group found not only Team Hooligan but the Babylon Rogues as well. While Cream was all for their combined group working together to take out the thieves, she was saddened when Amy confided with her and Blaze that Rouge would likely betray them again, and entered a four-way scramble for the Sol Emerald. (SU: #21, #22, #23)

As the battle began, Cream hung back and watched in worry of knowing her mother would not want her involved. Seeing how bravely her friends fought and remembering their promise to help Blaze, she resolved it was the right thing to do and dropped onto Nack's head before he could shoot Amy. Cream avoided the more intense fighting, but did what she could to help, apologizing while she jumped onto Storm's shoulders and made him to crash into Wave and Shadow. Eventually, Teams Rose and Dark decided to corral the other two teams together, and Cream gently led a distraught Bean by the hand to go see his friends. Once the thieves were all assembled, Blaze caused Bean's bomb to explode on them, making them give up the chase and leave. Once the Sol Emerald was finally returned to Blaze, Cream bade a tearful farewell to her and Team Dark as they departed. Back at Freedom HQ later, Cream told Vanilla about their day, oblivious that her mother was shaken at how their investigation had turned out. Amy believed Cream handled herself well regardless and had the potential be a great Freedom Fighter one day... before realizing they left NICOLE out in the Great Forest. (SU: #24)

Budding Heroine
Cream and her mother settled into a fairly peaceful life in New Mobotropolis, though it was soon disrupted when Ixis Naugus attempted to sway the people into accepting him as their new king, followed by Dr. Eggman's attack with the Death Egg Mark 2. Cream was then caught up-along with the rest of Mobius-in the effects of the Genesis Wave. This created an altered reality, one in which Cream was the cousin of Bunnie Rabbot-D'Coolette. However, this relationship ceased when Super Sonic reversed the effects of Operation: Clean Sweep. (StH: #224, #225, #229, FCDS: #6)

When the Death Egg sent Titan Metal Sonic to destroy the city, Cream hid behind Big, trying to reassure her mother that the Freedom Fighters would protect them. Cream soon saw Bunnie fall from battle due to crossfire of an over-zealous attack by Naugus, and rushed to where she lay unconcious, pulling her to safety as debris rained down. While Vanilla and Big the Cat took Bunnie to Dr. Quack, Cream went to recover Bunnie's crystallized hat, and found a strange doll among the rubble. Thinking someone dropped it, Cream took the doll with her as she found Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy, Tails, Antoine D'Coolette and Geoffrey St. John returning to the city, urging them to check on Bunnie and then waited for more details at the hospital.(StH: #231, #232)

Team Freedom
After the Knothole Freedom Fighters dissolved, Cream volunteered herself and Cheese for Rotor's Team Freedom to help protect New Mobotropolis from incoming threats, Vanilla giving her permission to join as she believed Cream would still be safe. During the team's debut at the community center, part of the building strangely gave away, and Cream lifted out people trapped on the upper floors while the others stopped its fall, preventing a disaster while winning public support. Later she joined the team in defending New Mobotropolis from a force of Egg Swats accompanied by Team Metal, and found herself frightened but protected by new friend and teammate Big the Cat. Insisting on helping despite her fear, she was sent by Rotor to gather up civilians and lead them to safety. She and her teammates soon celebrated their victory, unaware that they had been assisted from the shadows by the Secret Freedom Fighters. Ever helpful, Cream next provided assistance to the Council of Acorn by locating the missing copy of the constitution that they were meeting to ratify, finding it by Penelope Platypus' desk. (StH: #236, #240; SU: #44)

Cream subsequently attended a concert by Mina Mongoose with her mother and the rest of Team Fighters, and once again misplaced the Tails Doll. As she questioned her mother about it, the robot crawled underneath Mina's stage and let off an energy burst that caused it to collapse. Cream and Cheese quickly flew into action alongside their teammates, saving the Forget Me Knots and some of their equipment. The group was then praised by Mina, who also called for NICOLE's return to the city, and cheered by the citizens. Later, the group also attended the unveiling of the rebuilt Castle Acorn, only for it to start falling apart as had the stage. Cheese then brought Tails Doll to Cream, who got angry because of the doll's tendency to disappear-and then realized that the doll's presence or absence had been a factor in the recent collapses. Having Cheese take the doll home, she approached Rotor with her theory, which led to Team Freedom laying a trap for their suspect. After leaving the doll at home and informing her mother that she would be out all day, she secretly followed it as it left the house and went to the power station, where the rest of Team Freedom and NICOLE were lying in wait. Unfortunately, Tails Doll proceeded to transform into a monstrous creature intent on destroying the city and its protectors. (StH: #247)


 * -|Big=

Big the Cat is a large Mobian cat with great strength who loves fishing. He has been a recurring ally of the heroic Sonic the Hedgehog and eventually became a member of the Team Freedom.

Rescuing A Friend
Big the Cat was an ordinary cat who lived in the deep jungles of the Mysterious Cat Country with his buddy and pet frog, Froggy. A solitary Felidae, he lived apart from his people due to their barbaric traditions, which didn't sit well with him. However, while Big was asleep in his house one night, pieces of rock fell from the sky, causing Froggy to panic and hop towards a mysterious puddle of water. And as Big awoke, Froggy's thirst kicked in and he drank the puddle, not knowing that it was really part of Chaos, the God of Destruction. Chaos' powers then kicked in and Froggy grew a tail. But before Big could question what just happened, one of Dr. Eggman's newest robots, E-102 Gamma, showed up at Big's house. Big thought the stranger was a friend, but was corrected when Gamma grabbed Froggy. Big tried to save his lifelong buddy, but Gamma easily defeated him and escaped. However, Big wasn't going to take this sitting down, and so went off to save his friend. (StH: #80, CSE)

Big found his way to the Mystic Ruins and started searching around a lake on his rowboat. However, it then turned out that the Egg Carrier had been hidden in the lake, and so as it rose up, it brought Big with it. Big then started searching the ship for Froggy, and eventually found him before he jumped inside of Chaos 6. Luckily, Big was able to get Froggy out of the monster and quickly escaped the ship with Sonic's plane, the Tornado. (SSS: #13)

Eventually, Big landed the plane but was knocked unconscious for his troubles. When Big awoke, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles had arrived and Big introduced himself. But the four then noticed the Tornado was gone and realised that Chaos must have taken it. Big and his new friends headed to Station Square, only to find it flooded and being destroyed by Perfect Chaos. Big then helped the Freedom Fighters battle the beast. (StH: #83, #84)

Big and everyone else who helped fight against Perfect Chaos were rewarded by the President of Station Square, but the ceremony was cut short when Silver Sonic II attacked. Big then helped the Freedom Fighters in battling this foe as well. After the new mechanical Sonic was defeated, Sally Acorn asked Big if he wanted to come to Knothole with them, but he declined and he and Froggy went back to the Cat Country. (StH: #85)



Helping the Freedom Fighters
Big the Cat was present during the mass Mobian rally to combat the Xorda's Quantum Dial during their attack on Mobius. After Sonic's return from outer space, Big was present at Mina Mongoose's concert in Knothole Village. Some time later, Big helped Sonic and others put on a play for some children, him playing the part of Dr. Eggman. Big later attended Bunnie and Antoine D'Coolette's wedding. (StH: #125, #134, #148, #174)

After Sonic and Sally came to visit the Wolf Pack to become honorary members, Big, living on the outskirts of the Mysterious Cat Country, invited Sonic to meet with the Felidae in search of the "Ancient Onyx," which he explained to Queen Hathor with poor timing. When they arrived at the Cat Country, they were met with spearheads and Sonic was not even allowed to explain his actions properly, so Big-despite being looked upon as a lowly fisherman and a traitor for his associations with the Freedom Fighters-was made stately recounter of the truth, even given the appropriate attire. Sonic managed to convince the Queen to allow him to serve as Big's interpreter, as he knew more about the events leading to their visit than Big did. He went on to explain that Big had entered the capital of the Wolf Pack Nation in search of the Ancient Onyx after learning of its disappearance from Felidae territory. Though initially provoking hostility from the Wolves, Big was fortunate enough to find Sonic and Sally in their midst. Big had wondered if the Wolves had taken the onyx themselves, and apologized for intruding. It was then decided that he would guide Sonic into Felidae territory to speak with the Queen, whilst Sally set out on her own investigation. His account finished, Sonic negotiated with Queen Hathor to retrieve the Ancient Onyx if the Felidae let him go. Hathor agreed and asked that he dispose of Big as well, but Sonic instead offered to take Big with him as a form of exile. Big, initially saddened by the thought of leaving his old home, grew more positive after Sonic informed him of good fishing up north. Before the two could leave, however, Chief Lupe of the Wolf Pack arrived with a group of her warriors. (StH: #213)

Queen Hathor was quick to accuse a somewhat confused Big of being a Wolf Pack agent, though he helped Sonic to try and defuse the imminent conflict by standing between Lupe and Hathor, preventing them from coming to blows. After considering recent events, Sonic realized what was going on, and convinced Hathor to lead the Wolves, Big, himself, and her own warriors to the Mystic Ruins. Once there the group engaged a chapter of the Dark Egg Legion led by Drago Wolf and Razorklaw, who had taken Sally captive. Big entered their control room and to his delight found both Sally and the Ancient Onyx, though he then came under attack from the two Grandmasters. Fortunately, his own impressive strength was enough to defeat Drago, and after stopping an attempt by Razorklaw to strike at him he was saved by Sonic. Still giddy over what help he had been to his friends, he accompanied the pair outside with the Ancient Onyx. After Sally arranged a peace agreement between the Wolves and Felidae, Big joined Sonic and Sally in being inducted into the Wolf Pack Nation. He is later seen in New Mobotropolis where he presumably moved to afterwards. (StH: #214, #224)

Living in New Mobotropolis
Big later assisted the Freedom Fighters during Dr. Eggman's attack on New Mobotropolis with his Death Egg Mark 2. When he unleashed Titan Metal Sonic on the city, Big was one of the few citizens who did not run away from the gargantuan robot, instead bravely protecting others like Cream the Rabbit. Big then came to Bunnie's rescue after she got hit by Ixis Naugus' crystallizing magic attack that was aimed at Titan Metal Sonic. Vanilla the Rabbit told Big to bring her to Dr. Quack, and, after the doctor took a look at Bunnie, Big took her to the hospital at his request. (StH: #231)

With the Knothole Freedom Fighters reformed into Team Freedom and Team Fighters Big joined Rotor's team as an applicant during a recruitment drive to help defend New Mobotropolis from internal threats. Together with Cream, Cheese, Heavy, and Bomb, he helped Rotor in their first mission by holding up a building that was about to collapse due to an attack by Tails Doll. It would not be the last trouble the robot would cause, as it later deactivated New Mobotropolis' force field generator, leaving the city vulnerable to invasion by forces deployed from the Death Egg. Big valiantly joined the effort alongside his teammates, carrying Naugus to safety after the king collapsed from pain. He would then engage Metal Amy, and was able to defeat the robot after receiving unseen aid from Silver the Hedgehog of the Secret Freedom Fighters. Shortly thereafter, Tails Doll's actions in destroying the stage of the New Mobotropolis Coliseum spurred Big and his teammates to action, forcing them to save Mina Mongoose and her band, the Forget Me Knots.(StH: #236, #240, #241)

Big and his teammates later attended the ribbon cutting celebrating the restoration of Castle Acorn, only for the structure to start falling apart. Discovering a connection between the recent "accidents" and Tails Doll, Big joined his teammates and NICOLE in setting a trap for the mechanical being at the city power station. However, Tails Doll then surprised them by absorbing a number of nanites to create a monstrous new form for itself, bent on destroying them. (#247)


 * -|Heavy=

Heavy is a clunky, silver robot created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik in 3235. Designed to tap into any database and act as a system's repair unit, both he and Bomb were one of the few robots created by the despot that had their own free will, which was what resulted in Heavy and Bomb abandoning Dr. Robotnik and joining the Chaotix. They would subsequently join the Royal Secret Service before being reprogrammed by Dr. Eggman, only to be destroyed. Eggman subsequently rebuilt them, only for them to suffer destruction; the Freedom Fighters later rebuilt these new models with the personalities of their former selves to serve on Team Freedom.

Creation and Defection
Heavy was created in 3235 along with his counterpart Bomb, both created to act as "mechanical mechanics, designed to seek out and repair damaged systems automatically". However, because Robotnik used Power Gems to power them, Heavy and Bomb developed consciousness and consciences. When the two discovered Robotnik's schemes to trap the Knothole Freedom Fighters in the Hall of Mirrors at Happyland Amusement Park, they left Robotnik and joined the Chaotix to help them stop Robotnik's plans. When Metal Sonic attacked the Chaotix, Heavy and Bomb aided in their efforts to destroy him. (KCX)

In the Secret Service
Some time after this, Heavy and Bomb sought out a place to fit in. Due to Heavy's ability to tap into Robotnik's database, he researched information regarding Geoffrey St. John and finally went to him in Knothole to join the Royal Secret Service. Realizing their potential, Geoffrey recruited them. (StH: #62)

Heavy and Bomb's first mission took them to Angel Island once again, this time to discover what had become of Queen Alicia during the Great War. The Secret Service successfully discovered Queen Alicia alive though in cryo-sleep and brought her back to Knothole. (KtE: #19, #20, #21)

Following Sonic and Tails' encounter with Metal Sonic v2.5, the Royal Secret Service was sent to investigate the now-dormant site where they found Metal Sonic's slagged remains. Heavy determined Metal Sonic's core programming to be part of the still functional Power Gem. (SU: #43)

Some time later, Heavy and Bomb accompanied the rest of the Secret Service to Robotropolis to locate and retrieve the missing Sword of Acorns from Dr. Eggman. During this mission, the entire team was captured by Shadowbots. During their time in captivity, Eggman had each prisoner brought out one at a time to seem like they were being interrogated. In reality, this was a ruse to get Heavy and Bomb out of site so he could have them reprogrammed as sleeper agents. Following this, Heavy and Bomb blew up the jail's wall, enabling the Secret Service team to escape from captivity and return to Knothole. (StH: #97)

Controlled by Eggman
Following the rescue of the Robians from Robotropolis, Dr. Eggman activated Heavy and Bomb to begin attacking. Due to Nanites injected into the systems of Wombat Stu, Hershey Cat and Geoffrey St. John while in Robotropolis' jail, Bomb was able to incapacitate them by releasing a certain gas that activated the Nanites. Following this, Heavy sent the Bombs around all of Knothole, holding the Royal Family hostage. When Heavy explained he was the one who created all the Bombs, Sonic quickly smashed through and destroyed him before he could complete his sentence. Before the Bombs could detonate, Rotor and Tails disabled them with an EMP generator. (StH: #102)

In 3237, months after Sonic's return to Mobius from outer space, Dr. Eggman produced new models of Heavy and Bomb to assassinate the singing star Mina Mongoose after Nack the Weasel failed to do so. Heavy and Bomb went into the concert where the former attacked Sonic but when Sonic drilled beneath him, he fell in into an underground river. While Sonic fainted, Heavy continued to sink and was presumed destroyed. (StH: #153, #154)

Team Freedom
Months later, Tails and Rotor rebuilt Heavy as well as Bomb, combining the cores with their original programs, and the body designs that Eggman from eariler. Both were repurposed to be members of Team Freedom to protect the city from incoming threats. "King" Naugus did not like the idea of two traitor Badniks working for them, but Rotor reminded him that he was bad once as well and they first rebelled against Dr. Robotnik. During the exchange, a side of the civic center gave way due to unknown causes, and Heavy worked alongside with Big to hold up the unsupported section as Team Freedom managed to prevent a disaster, earning the public's overall support. He and Bomb later joined in defending New Mobotropolis from Egg Swats and Team Metal, though Heavy expressed some initial reluctance given his history of being destroyed. Despite this, he performed heroically, and was even prepared to fight Metal Sonic v3.0, only to be unexpectedly relieved of that duty by Shard, an irony given that Heavy had originally battled that version of Metal Sonic. Heavy and his teammates later attended a concert thrown by Mina Mongoose and the Forget Me Knots, and saved the band when the stage collapsed underneath them. (StH: #236, StH: #240, #241)

After the source of the mysterious building collapses was revealed to be Tails Doll, Heavy and Bomb joined the rest of Team Freedom and NICOLE in lying in wait for the robot infiltrator at the city power plant. Unfortunately, Tails Doll responded by taking on a monstrous new form, intent on destroying the city and its defenders. (StH: #247)


 * -|Bomb=

Bomb is a small, red bomb with arms and legs, produced by Dr. Ivo Robotnik in 3235. Along with his counterpart Heavy, Bomb was to be a systems repair unit. However, due to being supplied by a Power Gem, the two robots gained sentience and consciences. Abandoning their duties to Robotnik, the two joined the Chaotix and later the Royal Secret Service. During a mission to Robotropolis, Heavy and Bomb were reprogrammed as sleeper agents by Dr. Eggman, and activated shortly afterwards to attack Knothole. At this point, Heavy produced hundreds of copies of Bomb, all of which were programmed to detonate if Heavy was destroyed. After he was, the Bombs were de-activated by Rotor when he fired an EMP generator at them. In 3237, new versions of Heavy and Bomb were produced, but were also destroyed. However, they would later be reprogrammed and rebuilt to serve as members of Team Freedom.

Creation and Defection
Bomb was created in 3235 along with his counterpart Heavy, both created to act as "mechanical mechanics, designed to seek out and repair damaged systems automatically". However, because Robotnik used Power Gems to power them, Heavy and Bomb developed consciousness and consciences. When the two discovered Robotnik's schemes to trap the Knothole Freedom Fighters in the Hall of Mirrors at Happyland Amusement Park, they left Robotnik and joined the Chaotix to help them stop Robotnik's plans. When Metal Sonic attacked the Chaotix, Heavy and Bomb aided in their efforts to destroy him, with Bomb attaching himself to Metal Sonic and blowing himself up. After this, Bomb later came out of Heavy with the artificial intelligence of the previous went being uploaded to the new model. (KCX)

In the Secret Service
Some time after this, Heavy and Bomb sought out a place to fit in. Due to Heavy's ability to tap into Robotnik's database, he researched information regarding Geoffrey St. John and finally went to him in Knothole to join the Royal Secret Service. Realizing their potential, Geoffrey recruited them. Bomb, along with Valdez, helped save Hershey from a cybernetic shark thanks to Valdez's quick thinking. He threw Bomb in to the shark's mouth. He came out of the water moments after ward. (StH: #62)

Heavy and Bomb's first mission took them to Angel Island once again, this time to discover what had become of Queen Alicia during the Great War. The Secret Service successfully discovered Queen Alicia alive though in cryo-sleep and brought her back to Knothole. (KtE: #19, #20, #21)

Bomb accompanied the Secret Service in rescuing Nate Morgan from Snively, Kodos, Uma Arachnis, Nack the Weasel, and the Destructix. During this time, Bomb actually misfired and caused embarrassment for both sides in the fight. He tried again and was attacked by a giant squid that attacked both sides. The third try worked, seemingly destroying the squid and Snively. He also helped evacuate Mobotropolis when Shadowbots attacked the city. (StH: #70, #75)

Following Sonic and Tails' encounter with Metal Sonic v2.5, the Royal Secret Service was sent to investigate the now-dormant site where they found Metal Sonic's slagged remains. Heavy determined Metal Sonic's core programming to be part of the still functional Power Gem. (SU: #43)

Some time later, Heavy and Bomb accompanied the rest of the Secret Service to Robotropolis to locate and retrieve the missing Sword of Acorns from Dr. Eggman. During this mission, the entire team was captured by Shadowbots. During their time in captivity, Eggman had each prisoner brought out one at a time to seem like they were being interrogated. In reality, this was a ruse to get Heavy and Bomb out of site so he could have them reprogrammed as sleeper agents. Following this, Bomb blew up the jail's walls and enabled the Secret Service team to escape. (StH: #97)

Eggman's Agents
Following the rescue of the Robians from Robotropolis, Dr. Eggman activated Heavy and Bomb to begin attacking. Due to nanoprobes injected into the systems of Wombat Stu, Hershey Cat, and Geoffrey St. John while in Robotropolis' jail, Bomb was able to incapacitate them by releasing a certain gas that activated the nanites. Following this, He then made copies of himself while Heavy command them surround Knothole holding the Royal Family hostage. Although Heavy had the numerous Bombs programmed to blow up should he be destroyed, Sonic smashed through Heavy anyways. Two seconds before the Bombs detonated, Rotor and Tails disabled them with an EMP generator, essentially putting them to sleep. He was taken apart after that. (StH: #102)

In 3237, Dr. Eggman produced new models of Heavy and Bomb to assassinate the singing star Mina Mongoose after Nack the Weasel failed to do so. Bomb(s) and Heavy went into there concert where Miles "Tails" Prower was on lookout and spotted him, leading Fiona Fox, Bunnie Rabbot, Tails, and Amy Rose attacked him (them) which created an explosion, but in Mina's dressing room, one last bomb was there which Ash Mongoose grabbed and ran out of the room when it blew up and severely injured him in the process. (StH: #153, #154)

Team Freedom
Some time later, Tails and Rotor rebuilt Bomb as well as Heavy, combining their old friendly personalities with the Eggman versions of their designs. Both were repurposed to be members of Team Freedom to protect the city from incoming threats."King" Naugus did not like the idea of two traitor Badniks working for them, but Rotor reminded him that he was bad once as well and they first rebelled against Dr. Robotnik. During the exchange, a side of the civic center gave way due to unknown causes, and Bomb worked with Cheese and Rotor to destroy falling debris and blast the building back onto its foundation as Team Freedom managed to prevent a disaster, earning the public's overall support. Bomb and Heavy also joined their teammates in protecting the city from an invasion of Egg Swats aided by Team Metal. The pair almost went toe-to-toe with the latest version of Metal Sonic v3.0, only for Shard to intercept his counterpart at such a speed that Bomb and Heavy didn't even recognize their former adversary. The pair later attended a Forget Me Knots concert in New Mobotropolis, and accompanied their team in saving the band from a collapsing stage. (StH: #236, #240, #241)

Bomb and Heavy joined their teammates in confronting Tails Doll after the robot's true nature was discovered, only to have it transform into a monstrous being intent on eliminating them. (StH: #247)
