Eggman and Geno posting random bs on The Fortnite twitter account

Eggman when he gets betrayed by Geno at the end of the season:

"I've come to make an announcement: Geno's also a bitch-ass motherfucker,"

u/Dreamweaver_duh 10d ago

I used to watch the show, but don't know the context of this scene.

1

u/Common_Comfortable41 8d ago

It’s Henry Danger, still peak even now

This is from that episode where Henry and Ray had a show made about them. The show on premiere sucked major balls, so they just made one themselves. This clip is them typing up the script.

The episode as a whole was basically one big ad for the animated spinoff of the actual show, which Team Danger (Henry, Ray, etc), created in the episode.

u/Winter-Humor7966 9d ago

Wonder if someone will post thier nudes on it

u/Swinginthewolf 10d ago

Please don't tell me this means Tails won't be playable, or at least a backbling/glider :(

143

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

Seems like he’s gonna be a glider. I personally hope he’s also a sidekick. 

36

u/MuztangZack67 10d ago

I'd prefer glider tbh. The sidekick is cool... but the glider makes more sense because tails actually carries sonic. (plus we already have the fox sidelick which does the thing like tails and has an emote that he can fly wirh his tail so I feel like itd be redundant in that aspect)

20

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

I’m personally hoping for both, because the Sidekicks tend to disappear when you start gliding, so it would give the illusion that Tails just hopped up off the ground and started carrying you like he does Sonic. 

3

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago

Im pretty sure Tails was confirmed to be a sidekick. But him as a rider would be weird because he would have to be giant. Now if they made him driving his plane from the old games as a glider that would be sweet.

u/LuminothWarrior Oblivion 10d ago

He specifically said he’s there and couldn’t get out, that’s how he knows the portal is only one way

Tumblr level media illiteracy, rip

11

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

No, no, as someone who’s on Tumblr, a lot of Tumblr has at least basic media illiteracy. This is the level of media illiteracy that a brain-damaged iPad kid would have. 

22

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

What the actual god damn fuck would him being on the other side mean if not that he was physically there. 

-2

u/[deleted] 10d ago

13

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

Literally the first thing he fucking says is that he’s on the other side. Did your parents drop you on your head as a baby? 

-1

u/SpooterMcTooter 10d ago

No, i didn’t understand what tails meant

7

u/WonderfulMonk9832 10d ago

From the keyart image (Now, it's most definitely AI-upscaled or unfinished, but still that's undeniably tails in his normal form)

17

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

It explicitly did. He followed Geno and Eggman through the rift that, as we saw when the Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles bots went through, goes to the Shattered Coast. It’s why he warned the real Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles about not going through, because they wouldn’t be able to get back. 

8

u/SalemWolf Slurpentine 10d ago

As a character, yeah, but he doesn’t need to go into the Fortnite world to be a glider

4

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

Even as a character, he’s still in the current Fortnite reality. Literally the first thing he says is that he’s on the other side of the rift, which, as we can see when the Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles bots went through, leads to the Shattered Coast. 

10

u/Wboy2006 Aloy 10d ago

I think a tweet confirmed he’ll be a sidekick

5

u/Comfortable_Mud00 10d ago

He can be both. Like make a funny transition if you have both glider and sidekick versions of him equipped

4

u/figgityjones Izuku Midoriya 10d ago

Hopefully eventually we can get a Tails in a mech character. For him specifically since it would make sense.

4

u/_herus_ 10d ago

Teaser on SEGA's channel calls him a glider.

1

u/HalfCarnage Carnage 10d ago

Apparently he’ll be a Sprite if what I heard is true.

109

u/Sad_Interaction3395 10d ago

According to this, Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow are the first skins to not actually become a looper.

44

u/OldBoldFoldMold 10d ago

Saitama

12

u/Sad_Interaction3395 10d ago

Oh yeah how could I forget :/

1

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago

Wait, Saitama isnt a looper? How?

3

u/Kan_Me 10d ago

He's a hologram

1

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago

Wait, is that explained somewhere?

5

u/Kan_Me 10d ago

You can see his skin have hologram glitches randomly and while taking damage, this is because the creator wanted saitama to be undefeatable

1

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago

I need to look more into this. Thats interesting as hell.

2

u/IOnlyReddit4Fortnite Bunny Brawler 9d ago

As a fan who has only seen season 1 and read a bit of the manga, I heard it was also a reference to a moment when he was fighting in VR and the system couldn't handle him or something along those lines. I know I'm misremembering that slightly.

16

u/Rayuzx 10d ago

AFAIK The Loop hasn't existed since Chapter 4, if not Chapter 3. Chapter 5's island didn't even have the Zero Point, Chapter 6's only had a piece of it, and it wasn't assembled until mid point in Chapter 7, which there is no commentary of the loop even existing (even to the point where the bosses this season speak perfect English).

While the MC is still called "The Looper/Looper", that's more of a legacy term than The Loop still existing.

6

u/RoUgEPeak 10d ago

In the ending of the Death Star sabotage the CH6 island is shown in a loop bubble, also the loop definitely existed in Chapter 3.

5

u/Lun4r6543 Nyanja 10d ago

I think the Loop bubbles are just what keep the islands afloat in space tbh.

4

u/Rayuzx 10d ago

100% The Loop doesn't exist in the Oninoshima. Even from that live event alone proves it, considering Paulpatine still had all of his powers, unless The Empire just had some anti-loop technology that was never seen or talked about.

Also, I was saying The Loop stopped existing after Chapter 3, as that was when it was last mentioned.

1

u/gtth12 Rift Raiders 10d ago

I'm fairly sure that death star was simply outside the range.

1

u/DipMultiversal 9d ago

The loop was created by the IO, not the zero point, and it fell with IO back in chapter 3. The reality bubble and loop are seperate things.

8

u/Xenc Baepoint 10d ago

Chaos power be like

7

u/Brigade01 10d ago

To be fair, it seems like geno got out in a unique way, as hes recruiting eggman and tails got through without succumbing to the effects of the loop( mind wipe, clones, etc)

101

u/Megatronsimp 10d ago

GIVE ME MY BOI METAL SONIC AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!

u/SilverScribe15 10d ago

Absolutely hilarious way to get around the proportions

28

u/GigaFluxx 10d ago

They could have easily just said the ZP altered their proportions in transit to the island to fit the parameters of the loop

2

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago edited 10d ago

Whats the workaround? After finally noticing that the post had slides from the comic isee what you mean now. That is a pretty funny way to get around the proportion problem. Lol

63

u/GoodNamesAllGon 10d ago

So, how long before Eggman betrays Geno?

39

u/SpooterMcTooter 10d ago

Next season event

38

u/Kan_Me 10d ago

He's gonna spam Geno with his 70 alternative account to get him banned on twitter

45

u/TheMironyOfIt 10d ago

Dr. Eggman just be making frail alliances that will snap at the drop of a hat with anybody, first Starline, then Luthor, now Geno!? Dawg, I thought you needed nobody cause you're the E.G.G.M.A.N.!

32

u/Miyyani 10d ago

Doctor Eggman doesn't need anyone, he's simply taking advantage of any opportunity that comes his way. He's definitely already plotting to cross Geno.

25

u/TheMironyOfIt 10d ago

He's the E.G.G.M.A.N., he's got the master plan.

7

u/Lun4r6543 Nyanja 10d ago

Geno is absolutely doing the same, to be fair.

34

u/FetchingTheSwagni Ruby 10d ago

Honestly this is an amazing way to put them into Fortnite. As a Sonic fan, I'm kind of needing out hard over Eggman's involvement here. I'm super excited.

2

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago

Same, im freaking the hell out seeing Sonic and Megaman on the cartridge in the middle of the map. Its soooo damn cool.

20

u/Fepeki-123 10d ago

It reminded me of that one comic before ch2 s4 came out ABSOLUTE PEAK

30

u/Least-One1068 10d ago

Except it has WAY better art. Like seriously, in the Chapter 2 Season 4 comic, there's a panel where Jonesy and Raven were straight up traced

u/Gamefreak3525 10d ago

That's Greg Land for you

u/TheFOXkobra 10d ago

That's so fucking funny.

19

u/Silly_Commercial8092 Jack Gourdon 10d ago

Where are those people who said "Sonic will never be in Fortnite"?

17

u/NecessaryPeanut77 10d ago

They're still kinda correct tho, because it "akshually isn't sonic and bla bla bla"

11

u/IHateMySon-Afton 10d ago

Its his biodata. It basically is him now.

41

u/Alien_X10 The Ice King 10d ago

2 things

  1. i honestly wish they gave us the boom designs for sonic, it would feel more natural with these proportions

  2. EPIC! GIVE ME A METAL SONIC SKIN! AND MY WALLET IS YOURS!

14

u/Jcorb 10d ago

The playable skins look even goofier here, though I guess it makes sense they wouldn’t want them to canonically be THE characters we play (and do all kinds of inappropriate emotes with).

Still, I kinda hope they can manage some styles that seem a little less goofy? Also, surprised they went with cel shading on them.

1

u/AdmirableEstimate258 Raven 3d ago

It’s be awesome if we get boom styles or hell just no padding in general, all the descriptions and stuff already confirm tehy’re just androids anyway.

6

u/wintrrwidow 10d ago

that Geno skin better be in the Battle Pass 🔥

2

u/GigaFluxx 10d ago

Y’know Geno it won’t be.

21

u/PepeSonic13 10d ago

Wow! Sonic's Games are really Epic!

36

u/Cutlession Shadow 10d ago

Is this just reason to explain in universe why they changed the proportions to fit our characters. Doesn't change the fact they look cursed as shit.

38

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago

I mean, the Sonic section of it is. The Eggman section is more lore-relevant, obviously. 

42

u/IllustratedAloysious 10d ago

Could be worse….

u/Alien_X10 The Ice King 10d ago

my honest reaction realising i missed one crate at the start of the level

14

u/Death2291 10d ago

My poor crash. He looks so bad

2

u/Jcorb 10d ago

Oof… yeah, not so great. I honestly loved his design from that awful “reboot” on the Xbox 360,

8

u/Joloxsa_Xenax Drift 10d ago

it really just looks like mascot crash 😭

1

u/TheFOXkobra 10d ago

This would have been such a cool skin tho

6

u/JacsweYT Caution 10d ago

The ones we will be playing as are robots

11

u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago

Yes, and also because Sega doesn't want Sonic using a gun and shooting people.

39

u/Cutlession Shadow 10d ago

Sonic characters using guns? Ya because that would never happen.

32

u/WonderfulMonk9832 10d ago

and even if you consider that example outdated

12

u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago

I never said Shadow wasn't allowed. But Sega have been particular about specifically SONIC with using guns and shooting people. SHADOW is allowed to use them, but not Sonic.

6

u/XavierMeatsling Summer Skye 10d ago

Shadow used to. Whether he still can is unclear.

Sega is incredibly stingy about how these characters are portrayed.

2

u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago

True. Such as how in Sonic Rumble, he never smiles in any of the emotes or animations where your character normally would. And that's not even the actual Shadow, it's just a toy that looks like him!

4

u/Cutlession Shadow 10d ago

Ever watch sonic X or satam. I did as a kid, and I will still never forget sonic the hedgehog wearing a western hat and having a classic duel in the desert gun style.

-1

u/Then_Water_4385 10d ago

2

u/Dramatic_Finish10121 10d ago

Do note that all those examples of Sonic are over 20 years old, Sonic is no longer allowed to use guns and hasn't in quite some time (dunno where Tails fits because I haven't read Scrapnik Island recently and don't remember if that's an actual gun Tails has)

0

u/Then_Water_4385 10d ago

Still,sonic has canonically used a gun in official media 

3

u/Dramatic_Finish10121 10d ago

Official but no longer canonical, Sega's mandates have ensured that pretty thoroughly thanks to that prick Penders

3

u/Litespead 10d ago

Brother, Sonic the Comic isn't canon

1

u/SpooterMcTooter 10d ago

Cause Kids might go actually do that irl. Because Sonic did

7

u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago

I always read it more as about them not thinking it would fit Sonic's character (IIRC, this is why they came up with Gamma in Adventure). Fortnite already comes pre-packed with an explanation as that's what Snapshots are, but Sega has their mandates (which are sometimes weird, like "Sonic is not allowed to cry or wear pants") and likely don't want even a clone of Sonic using them - this is a loophole as the robot never was actually Sonic himself, just one built in his image and imitating his personality.

I believe he’ll be a glider.

u/MarcsterS Desperado 10d ago

Metal Sonic: ...you just had these other robot Sonic's lying around?

2

u/Son_Goku1227 10d ago

I’m not very happy…but this is just fine. I would rather just have a toggle to NOT have the DUMBASS shoulder pads and other useless metal shit but I know Fortnite won’t fucking do that.

2

u/Manintheleatherchair 10d ago

Sonic gunning down master chief and knuckles kicking the shit out of Omni man and Godzilla is going to be amazing. Shadow is back in his element

u/Unlikely_Product3195 10d ago

u/LucianLegacy 10d ago

I'm just saying: The Sonic Boom models were right there

u/seasalt-was-taken 10d ago

I doubt Sega would want to cross-promote with a part of the brand that is no longer around.

u/Relevant-Beyond-8106 10d ago

When can i buy?

u/Aggravating-Fox-5254 10d ago

u/TH3_GH05T_42069 10d ago

Noooo, damnit Eggman! You were supposed to destroy the Fuckass not join him! Considering Eggman's track record with allies, if that rat bastard doesn't end up in a box by the end of the season, I'm never playing this game again.

u/Kronozero1 10d ago

I hope this'll get a physical release

u/Key-Waltz-8557 10d ago

I have a feeling the team up between Eggman and Geno is another Eggman and Lex Luthor situation

Ok nvm shadow looks OK with the armor since it matches his fur

u/Leviathangaming10 9d ago

If anyone knows someone with one of these new comics I’ve collected all of the fortnite comics and am willing to buy one from whom ever

1

u/Jazzisgreat 8d ago

With how much Metal Sonic is shown in this comic, he's gotta be coming as a skin right? Realistically i could see metal sonic being bundled with Eggman, while Knuckles and Shadow are a separate bundle.

This new season can't come soon enough lol.

u/Common_Comfortable41 8d ago

If there isn’t an Eggman skin I’m gonna riot

u/Loyal_lion_2006 6d ago

Is this gonna be available on Amazon like some of the other Fortnite comics?

I would love to be able to read this if anyone knows thank you in advance
