PRIORITY Q&A

Imagine that one night Iiuzaka-San kicks down your door, grabs you by the shirt, and says, "Ian my child, we're making a fighting game starring only SEGA characters. It's like Super Smash Brothers, except it's totally not Super Smash Brothers. Also, I want you to decide on the character roster. Ask your friend Kyle to colllaborate with you on this." And then he drops a smoke bomb and vanishes into the night.
So, which SEGA characters will be duking it out on the fields of honour, and who will fail to make the cut?

I was rereading Mega Man #53 recently and came to the grim realization that at some point before Mega Man 7, every Robot Master from Mega Man 1 would likely be decommissioned. This made me wonder...just when and how were you going to play this out? How would it affect Rock and company, do the Robot Masters just accept this without question, and how was it going to hit Rock when he witnessed Wily making off with Guts Man's deactivated body, fighting it as Guts Man G, and then probably destroying one of his longest lasting family members for good?
I truly adore the way you handled the existentialism in the Mega Man comic, I feel you perfectly managed to make the series a little bit more than "blue robot kid fights old man, old man apologizes, repeat" without making it feel like it forced in any way.

On a previous BumbleKast, you stated that Knuckles wouldn’t be allowed to use his Archie exclusive powers and abilities in IDW because… well, it’s his Archie counterpart’s abilities. Can he still use his other abilities such as Massive Heat Knuckles Attack, and Thunder Arrow, and his Level Up items like his Shovel Claw, and his Hammer Gloves, in IDW?

This year not only marks Sonic’s 30th but also the 30th anniversary of Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik! Could you maybe just gush about him a little? How he’s evolved how He’s the best Sonic villain, the perfect arch-enemy for Sonic, and...just celebrate The mad genius we love to hate!

So, now I got something to ask about Mega Man, given a question that was asked a while back about the connection between Ra Moon and the Star Droids:
