Phantom Ruby

You can help *IDW Sonic Hub* by uploading an image on the Images page.

The **Phantom Ruby** is a powerful gemstone that was used by Dr. Eggman to successfully defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and keep the Resistance at bay while his Eggman Empire conquered most of the world. The ruby can create "virtual reality" constructs through altering ones perception and transport matter across space time. Eggman used the ruby's power to build an army consisting of heartless and souless clones of some of Sonic's strongest rivals and enemies to battle the Resistance and created a falling sun to wipe out all other opposition on the planets surface. Luckily, Sonic and his allies managed to foil Eggman's plans, which forced the doctor to retreat to his fortress. Dr. Eggman made one final attempt to eliminate his enemies by installing the Phantom Ruby into his Death Egg Robot, but the machine and the ruby were eventually destroyed by Sonic and company.

Rolling Combo

The **Rolling Combo** is a technique utilized primarily between Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower in which the two join together to perform a larger and stronger version of the Spin Attack.

## Description

When using the Rolling Combo, Sonic and Tails join hands as they each use the Spin Attack. As the two circle around each other, they form a combined Spin Dash resembling a yin-yang formation, but with much greater power and size than a regular Spin Dash. This attack is powerful enough to break an Egg Hammer's hammer (which a regular Spin Attack could not even dent) and cut an Egg Hammer clean in half.

## Background Information

* The Rolling Combo was based on the technique of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, where it first appeared in *Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II*. It was unnamed in the comic, but is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.

Slicer

**Slicer** was an praying mantis-based Badnik that was created and used by Dr. Eggman.

## Overview

The Slicer is modelled on a praying mantis. Its chassis is green and white, with an oval-shaped head sporting large yellow eyes. Its arms end in scythe-like blades which it uses to rend enemies to pieces. It has a large thorax and thin legs that cannot support it, so it moves slowly using the small wheels on its feet to drag itself along the floor.

The Slicer's arm blades are detachable and it will use them as projectile weapons. When an enemy is within its sights, the Slicer will raise its arms and fling its blades like boomerangs towards the target. However, the blades don't always come back after being thrown and the Slicer has no way of catching them if they do.

## Trivia

* Slicers are based off the Badnik of the same name from the *Sonic the Hedgehog 2* (16-bit) game.

## Setting

As the comic is set in its own continuity heavily inspired by the world of the video games, they do not share the same universe.

## IDW Comics

The following is a list of all IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comics that exist primarily within the Sonic the Hedgehog video game universe.

* *Team Sonic Racing*

## Background Information

* Despite *Team Sonic Racing* being the first IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comic to take place in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game universe, the first comic to take place in the video game universe was the *Sonic Forces digital comic*. Interestingly, the comic shared similar staff between the comic and the IDW comic series.

While hunkering down inside the cramped area of Restoration HQ, he was approached and befriended by a villager from Glass Hill. However, he was about to turn into a full zombot, when he apologized about joining them while he was infected, but he did not want to be alone. transformed into a zombot before the other refugees horrified eyes, it sparked the evacuation of the surviving citizens and most of the restoration staff. (#22

After Super Sonic and Metal Sonic removed and purged the metal virus, the Glass Hill villager would have been restored to normal again.

Please help improve *IDW Sonic Hub* by expanding it.

The **Sol Emeralds** are seven differently colored gem stones that originate from an alternate dimension, and are guarded by Blaze the Cat. Believed to be their native dimensions equivalent to the Chaos Emeralds, they are known to have a connection to, and an unspoken understanding with their guardian, who claimed could “feel their will”. The emeralds are also capable of granting immense power to their guardian, allowing Blaze to transform in Burning Blaze. They were described by Sonic to be "smaller than the chaos Emeralds, but fiery".

## History

### Fallout

Approximately one month after the war ended, Blaze arrived in Sonic’s dimension with the gems in her possession. Blaze informed Sonic that their will had instructed the princess to come to Sonic’s world to help prevent a “terrible event” that was about to occur, believed to be Eggman’s total takeover, which Blaze ended up being “about seven months late” for. Nonetheless, Blaze decided to remain in Sonic’s world in the event her services were indeed required.(StH: #4)

This wait would pay off when Neo Metal Sonic rose up after the war to take over Angel Island. Battling alongside the reformed Resistance, Blaze used the emeralds to assume her Burning Blaze transformation. (StH: #9)

After the Battle against Master Overlord, Blaze returned to her dimension with the Sol Emeralds.

## History

### Past

At some point in the past, Doctor Eggman stored some Shadow Androids in some specialized tanks in one of his bases, working with Mimic, the traitorous member of the Diamond Cutters, in order to lure them to their deaths. Dr. Eggman activated the androids, which proceeded to eliminate Smithy the Lion, Slinger the Ocelot and Claire Voyance. By the time Whisper got out of hiding and when the coast was cleared, entered the bunker, with no sign of any remaining Shadow Androids.

### Battle for Angel Island

Because of the fact that the Shadow Androids decimated her squad, Whisper was at first apprehensive in the presence of Shadow, due to having a similar silhouette.

Being based on Shadow, these androids have his replicated super speed. With that, they were able to evade the weapons fire of the Diamond Cutters' Wispons. In addition, they were more formidable than the standard Badniks that the Diamond Cutters had previously faced.

## Appearance

The androids have the same distinct shape as the hedgehog they were based on.

## Background Information

* The Shadow Androids first appeared in *Sonic Heroes*.
* The Shadow Androids' design are based on the orange Shadow Android from the Battle Mode of *Shadow the Hedgehog*.
* Originally Shadow has nothing to do with Whisper's backstory, and she simply glared at him due to his selfish statements on the way to Angel Island. However, due to fans believing Whisper's glare indicated some sort of personal history and issues with Shadow, the Shadow Androids were written into her backstory.
