admonition : Spoilers for Sonic the Hedgehog : Winter JamGivenCubotandOrbot ’s main purpose is mostly to function as comic rest , noSonic the Hedgehogfan would ever guess that they ’d play a major role in the franchise outside theSonic BoomTV show . And yet , that ’s exactly what thesepathetic Badniksin a recentSonicone - crack from IDW Publishing .

Cubot and Orbot take topic into their own machinelike hand to get the better of Sonic and his Quaker in theSonic the Hedgehog : Winter Jamone - scoot by writer Iasmin Omar Ata , artist Min Ho Kim , colorist Reggie Graham and letterer Shawn Lee . Of course , their endeavor are influenced more so by their desire to do less body of work than to really win against Sonic . Because Dr. Eggman has been spending so much time watching footage to come up with a new scheme to vote down them , Cubot and Orbot are required to wait on him hand and understructure more so than common .

Cubot & Orbot’s Loss is Dr. Eggman’s Fault

away from the irony that place Winter Jam into action actually give them even more work to do , the plan in and of itself is ugly . Of course , Cubot and Orbot are already predestined to fail , but it is undoubtedly one of Dr. Eggman ’s big idea ever , since Winter Jam consist of harmless competitions and can result in gifting Sonic a Chaos Emerald should he win . So , Cubot and Orbot have a very slim probability of bring home the bacon before they even start . Although the goofiness of Eggman ’s Winter Jam serendipitously matches both of their ridiculous personality , it does squall " Dr. Eggman . " All of Dr. Eggman ’s schemes are theatrical . Regardless , Cubot and Orbot ’s action in this one - guess save Dr. Eggman the embarrassment of lead up Winter Jam himself , since the terminal conniption greatly implies that the footage he is studying at the beginning of the one - shot is for Winter Jam , and he quickly delete the footage in a madness .

Sonic’s Silly Winter Jam Special Fits Cubot & Orbot’s Personalities Perfectly

Fans of Cubot and Orbot ’s trickery and theSonic Boomseries would doubtless be quite pleased withWinter Jamfor obvious reasons . The two robot have n’t gotten as much aspect time in the comics as they do inSonic Boomjust because the latter is more of a funniness than an action mechanism / adventure . In gain , Sonic and Dr. Eggman are n’t really enemies inSonic Boom , at least not in the traditional sentience . In fact , most of the difference between them is over amusing trivial matters , so it ’s only born thatSonic Boom ’s shift in tone would give Cubot and Orbot more screen sentence . They are both cockamamy characters , so they would natural shine more in a goofier setting like they do inWinter Jam .

Although some reader might not be pleased withWinter Jam ’s sillier tone , they should be glad that the floor takes shoes in an surplus one - nip effect that does n’t even replace the regular monthlySonic the Hedgehogcomic . Of of course , Sonic the Hedgehog ’s main series will be on hiatus for the next few month to make way for the upcomingFang the Hunterminiseries . Given thatFang the Hunteris exploring the likeliness of the potentially traditional knowledge - shatter 8th emerald , fans who appreciate the more serious tone of the mainSonic the Hedgehogseries likely wo n’t get a repeat ofCubotandOrbot ’s ridiculousness .
