IDW initially broke common law by making the Chaotix a detective agency that was in no way consort with Knuckles , even though the plot primitively had Knuckles serve as a main extremity . Although other issues of Archie ’s much older continuity saw Knuckles lead the Chaotix , the series presently retconned the squad forever .
That ’s why longtimeSonicfans were blithely shocked when IDW ’s official solicitation and cover previews ofSonic#65 first hinted thatKnuckles and the Chaotix would join power . The squad try out to be a reverberating success upon their debut as well , withKnuckles greatly complementing the Chaotix ’s dynamic .

And by the oddment of issue # 65 , they locate the thieves and are educate for the final battle . fortunately , Knuckles still has unfinished business with the Chaotix even after their mission ends inSonic#66 ’s short story " Relic Rounding Rumble Part 2 " by writer Ian Flynn , penciler Mauro Fonseca , inker Rik Mack , and colorist Reggie Graham .

Knuckles and Chaotix Will Likely Reunite in IDW’sSonic
After Knuckles retrieves the stolen souvenir by the end of the scant history , the Chaotix have to suddenly leave behind for a premature engagement before they can finalize how Knuckles will devote for their services . Since Chaotix ’s leader Vector is specially beat back by money , he will undoubtedly line up a elbow room to reconnect with Knuckles so that his squad can be compensated consequently . It is highly unlikely Vector will let Knuckles slide without pay . Meanwhile , Knuckles not only clearly conveys that he enjoys their company , but his action entail that he wants to say something else positive about them before deciding against it , suggest he may have some unfinished occupation with the Chaotix as well .
Having Knuckles and the Chaotix reunite for another one - off mission would be a lot easier for IDW to spin as react to them forming a permanent partnership . knuckle duster is obligated to stay on the Floating Island because he ’s its guardian , so there ’s no way he can leave to function with the Chaotix . The only reason why he call for their services is because it concerned the island . Knuckles is especially tethered to the island because he still feels responsible for Neo Metal Sonic ’s previous assault on his abode . He also late notify Blaze the Cat , who ’s a guardian as well , to take a vacation whenever the chance presents itself , alluding to the fact that he would wish to but ca n’t . Meanwhile , in the previous Archie Comics persistence , Knuckles could only team up up with the Chaotix because they expend a great quite a little of time on Angel Island with him , and since the Chaotix have their own detective agency off - island in IDW , it ’s unbelievable that they would or even can relocate .
So , even thoughSonic the Hedgehog#66 is hint at the possibility thatKnucklescould one day reunite with theChaotixin the near future tense , there ’s still not much of a chance that it will be permanent , though , crazier things have happened in IDW ’s macrocosm .
