Kaizoku Sword

**Kaizoku Swords** were a type of Robot Pirates that served as members of Captain Whisker’s crew in Blaze's World.

## History

### Past

At some point in the past, marine and Blaze fought the robot pirates. Both Johnny and the his captain, were defeated and disappeared.

### Blaze’s follow up

Blaze began to search for and elimiate any remaining robot pirates with the aid of Marine and her boat, the Ocean Tornado. She attacked and boarded one of the pirate's ship and began to interrogate a head of the Kaizoku swords on who was leading the pirates. The robot head told her that they were essentially leaderless ever since Whisker, Johnny and Mini and Mum disappeared. The robot then told her that they have been directionless and just did nothing, and that she had essentially won.

## Personality

The kaizoku Swords were capable of speech. Like the badniks from the modern world, they would be directionless without anyone to lead them.

## Abilities

The Kaizoku Swords were capable of speech. They were also armed with swords.

## Trivia

* The Kaizoku Sowrds were based off the enemies in Sonic Rush Adventure.
* It could be argued that since the robot pirates were created by both Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega, they could be classified as badniks.
Gemerl

This article is **incomplete**.
Please help improve *IDW Sonic Hub* by expanding it.

**Gemerl** is a humanoid robot that lived with Cream the Rabbit and her mother, Vanilla in Floral Forest Village.

## History

### Previous history

At one point, Gemerl was programmed to serve Doctor Eggman, and that Sonic and co. had to fight him at Altar Emerald. After being defeated, he was reprogrammed by Tails to be good as well as serve as serving as a guardian of Cream the Rabbit.

Gemerl has since taken up residence in Floral Forest village, where Cream and her mother live.

### Metal Virus crisis

You can help *IDW Sonic Hub* by writing it.

When Dr. Eggman deployed the metal virus onto Cream's home village, Sonic was attempting to help out Cream. However, Gemerl, informed Sonic that he was a threat to Cream's safety because of his infection. It was only after Cream convinced the robot that like the others infected, he was not a threat, but a "victim", as well as sternly telling Sonic to regress his infection.

After the evacuation of the surviving villagers, Gemerl, Cream and Vanilla accompanied the villagers into Resotration HQ for shelter. After Tails, then repaired **Gemerl** and stood guard to the entry to Amy's office at the HQ. After Sonic is led by Cream to Amy's office he denied him entry, again due to being infected. Cream then tells Gemerl off, saying that Amy wanted to see to Sonic and he has to be let in. Gemerl then stands by and lets Sonic enter.

For refugees from each village rescue, he was involved with scanning each of the various survivors upon entering the Restoration HQ for shelter. () It was only because Gemerl was distracted by arguing with Big that it failed to notice that someone infected slipped through. (Annual 2020: "Big's Big Adventure")

## Abilities

Gemerl's weaponry includes launching missiles. He also has the ability of flight.

He is able to perform scans on living beings, which came in handy because he was able to detect if a person was infected by the metal virus and how far they were infected.

## Personality

Being originally a machine serving Dr. Eggman, he was re-programmed to be Cream the Rabbit's protector, and is devoted to protecting Cream, even against her wishes. When he detected that Sonic showed infections by the metal virus, he sternly told him to leave unless he reduced his symptoms, against the wishes of cream.

Lightning Wispon

The **Lightning Wispon** is a Wispon that is both themed after and utilizes the power of the Ivory Wisp.

## History

### The Imprisoned Planet

At some point in the past, the Ivory Wisps, along with other fellow Wisps, and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, as thanks for saving their race and planet, a bunch of Ivory Wisps and other fellow Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they helped out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could, the Wispons being one such way of helping in particular. (StH: #3)

### During the War

Near the end of the war, a town that served as a hub for Wispon distribution was saved from Badniks by the mercenary duo, Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk, who wielded a Burst Wispon and a Drill Wispon respectively. The two then offered to improve the town's defenses, but they winded up conquering the town. (StH: #3)

### Fallout

When Sonic and Knuckles the Echidna entered the town that was conquered by Rough and Tumble, the two duos eventually battled. During their battle, Tumble attempted to use a Lightning Wispon, but thanks to Sonic's inspirational speech, the Ivory Wisp inside of it left the weapon and turned on Rough and Tumble, along with many other Wisps who left the Wispons that they were inside of. As a result, Sonic and Knuckles were victorious. (StH: #3)

## Appearance

Modeled after the Ivory Wisp, the Lightning Wispon is an ivory and gold-colored Wispon shaped as a lightning bolt. It has a black barrel that attaches the lightning bolt-shaped piece to a white handle that allows the wielder to hold it in a comfortable grip. It also has a hole on the bottom of the lightning bolt-shaped piece that resembles the eye of the Ivory Wisp.

## Abilities

The Lightning Wispon's signature function is its ability to hold Ivory Wisps inside it and harness their energies to power itself. Without an Ivory Wisp inside it, the Lightning Wispon is useless. When active, this Wispon can generate a whip of electricity.

Being built to clear out crowds of robots, the Lightning Wispons possess a widespread attack range.

## Background Information

* The Lightning Wispon was based on the weapon of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, where it first appeared in *Sonic Forces*. It was unnamed in the comic, but its name is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.

Giga Omega

The **Giga Omega** is a large humanoid mecha built by Dr. Eggman. This machine was built in the likeness of E-123 Omega and even has Omega hardwired into its system. Eggman hastily built the Omega Mech to ruin the Restoration's victory celebration following the end of the Metal Virus pandemic.

## History

Immediately after Super Sonic disappeared following the removal of the Metal Virus from the planet, Dr. Eggman and his lackeys Orbot and Cubot made their escape aboard an aircraft Eggman had put together from spare shuttle parts. During the getaway, Orbot had uncovered the severed head of E-123 Omega. Pleased to have the rebellious robot back under his control, Eggman took Omega's head back to his lair.

After rebuilding Omega's body, Eggman had the E-100 robot installed as a key component to the Giga Omega mech, a new combat machine built in Omega's own likeness. Eggman then piloted the mech and attacked Spiral Hill Village where the Restoration members were celebrating. The heroes fought back, with Gemerl charging at Eggman head-on, only to be seized by several cables that paralyzed him and assimilated his combat coding, further enhancing the Giga Omega's performance.

Tails was able to access a panel on the mech's back and hack into it, releasing Gemerl, but was unable to free Omega. He was, however, able to access Omega's secondary programming, his true personality, which had been buried under Eggman's new coding. This caused the Giga Omega to malfunction and briefly stop attacking, giving the heroes time to gang up on the contraption, but Eggman was able to shake the heroes off.

Just before Eggman could finish his attack, Sonic suddenly appeared, having returned from her dimension. Eggman panicked at the sight of Sonic, who quickly attacked the mech and freed Omega. Omega then turned to Eggman and fired all of his weapons, destroying the Giga Omega before he fell apart from the stress of the battle. Eggman survived and escaped in his Egg Mobile.

## Description

The Giga Omega is a large humanoid mecha that is built in E-123 Omega's image, sporting a barrel-like torso and wide arms ending in massive, clawed hands. It has no head, the top of the torso acts as a cradle for the Egg Mobile from which Eggman controls the mech. E-123 Omega is hardwired into a port on the mech's chest, his own coding providing the machine with elevated attack processing power.

The Giga Omega is armed with a multitude of heavy weapons, including Gatling guns and a multi-missile launcher on its midsection, as well as laser cannons built into its arms.

## Trivia

* The Giga Omega's name was confirmed by Ian Flynn on his twitter  It has also been referred to as the **Super Omega Mecha**.

Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 1: Fallout!

 Date Published  | * August 22, 2018 (Comic Specialty Stores)
 Letters | Corey Breen

**Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 1: Fallout!** is the first volume of IDW Publishing's Sonic the Hedgehog Graphic Novel Series. This volume contains reprints of stories from Sonic the Hedgehog #1-#4.

## Story

### Fallout, Part 1

* Main article: IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 1

### Fallout, Part 3

## Background Information

* The quote "Gotta go fast" in the solicitation for this volume is the name of the American theme song for the Sonic X anime series.
* The cover for this volume went through a number of different versions before finally settling on the final one.
	+ The first cover originally advertised for the volume was the promotional image for the series with the IDW logo removed from the top right corner.
	+ The second cover advertised for the volume was a horizontally flipped version of issue 1’s RI-C cover by Kieran Gates.
	+ The third and final cover advertised for the volume was the cover of issue 1's Cover A by Tyson Hesse. Eventually, an even newer version was shown that included a blue border around the image, but the older one without the border was simultaneously shown for Kindle and Comixology despite Amazon showing the updated image for purchase of the physical book. Eventually, this was changed to match the final print cover.

* Eventually, Amazon advertised the book with the text "FALLOUT!" on it in the bottom left-hand corner. Oddly enough, this is only shown in the section for the "Paperback" version of the book and not for the "Kindle and comiXology" version of the book, which uses the final printed version of the cover.
