Synopsis

In this pilot episode, the origin story takes place on Mobius, but in an alternate dimension. The show is similar to the Saturday version, but with some differences. Sonic is a prince with a brother and sister who are all a rock band which travel around in a high-tech van, whose mother is a queen, and their father is not present. Robotnik is also different, too. His cape and voice are different, and instead of Snively, he has two canine bounty hunters, the conniving Sleet and the strong but stupid Dingo. Did I mention the new line of Swatbots? Same Robotropolis, though. Even a different- voiced Uncle Chuck was there. Also missing are the Freedom Fighters, Knothole, and the Power Rings. Anyway, here's the story. Robotnik takes over Mobotropolis, forcing Queen Alena into hiding with the triplets. The Oracle of Delphius reveals that the queen and her kids will defeat Robotnik and become the Council of Four. But to do that, the queen had to separately give up her kids. Sonia was living with an aristocrat named Lady Windimere, Manic was living with a thief named Farrel, and Sonic was living with Uncle Chuck. Ten years later, The Oracle tells Sonic about his life. Sonic sets out to find his siblings, and when they all meet, Robotnik finds out and orders his swatbots to capture them. When Sonic Underground, as they call themselves escape, they try to find their guardians, only to see them roboticized( yes, they have a new roboticizer, too). Soon, the Oracle tells them of their upcoming adventures, and soon the group begins their journey to find their mother.
