That bot is just a boss period. And, by boss, I mean he looks like he's running the show in whatever level he's in, rather than being a literal boss at the end of a level. Favorite design so far, glad we're going to our roots in bot design again.

I really dig this Badnik. My second favorite with the Seal being first.

He resides in Global Warming Zone and he throws cherry ICEE's at you.

He looks pretty large, I wonder if it's a mini-boss of sorts?

I'm hoping that there are mini-bosses in the 2nd or 3rd acts of each stage, it'd be a nice change of pace and a good homage to Sonic 3.

Wow, this actually looks more like a boss than a regular badnik! Awesome design for awesome polar bear badnik!
I wonder what this Cubot-like thing does.. It definitely reminds me of Cubot.

I know what this is. xD

Oh you, Sega!

I hope it's the worthy succesor to the barrel of death

Yeah you will have to use the two analog sticks like you do lock picking in Skyrim just to make it move.

Same here, Steelion is the bollocks and may well turn out to be my favourite badnik of all time. What if these big, badass badniks take several hits to destroy?

Snowy reminds me of a polar cub version of Grizzly slash from MMX5

I love the way people are calling it "Christmas Zone", so not only do people believe in that fairytale Jesus shit on this planet, but Sonic's as well?

And here I thought you were a self-righteous twat before... Your name smells of irony.

Sonic gets to kick the ass of multiple Bark the Polarbears? I can dig this (EDIT: In retrospect he's probably either a sub-boss or an Eggman Mech; it's always been the style of the classics to have badniks be annoying robots you only need to hit once to break open, but who knows, SEGA may wish to deviate from that... Like they've deviated from a LOT of policies/styles :S)

That cube has got me interested. I doubt it's a storage unit. My guess is it'll be one of those surprise badniks like the Marble Garden faux-spikes. As in, (possibly in Oil Ocean) there'll be a bunch of crate objects but a few of them are actually badniks that want to rough you up.

Of course I could be completely wrong but it'd be interesting to see an enemy like that in Sonic 4 or even the future

EDIT 2:

Yeah something like this, except probably not as cute :P

Sonic 4 Ep. 2 just got unveiled in Japan through Famitsu. I'm in the process of getting watermark-less scans from Woun over at Sonic-Scene.ru that I'll post over here in a bit.
EDIT: Ok, he said no. I'll just go ahead and post the link to the magazine scan with the giant watermark on it. It's a really huge image, so be warned!
{SNIP}
tl;dr - No new screenshots. Just the same ones from Xbox.com and Sega's Flickr account.

No one took notice that on that Famitsu scan we got the names of the "Aquatic Ruin"-alike and the Christmas Carnival. They're "Silvania Castle" and "White Park" respectively.

I think I finally figured out what that box is! It must be a pushable crate of some sort.

I am also digging the bear bot. He will give you a bear hug...OF DEATH.

Man sonic 4 episode 2 sure looks like a fan game to me,,
just doesn't look very professionally done,

In what way?

Because graphically I can do a better job and I'm a fan.

P.S.
To me the grass looks like a poor attempt at ripping off fan remix's but fail to top it.
Also I'm looking at the skills of the current people modeling this game it just looks like fresh collage grad work or something to me,
But hey I just have over 13 years 3D modeling experience, its easy for someone like me to spot another modelers skill level.
Not to mention the shitty home made looking textures.... Jesus cant believe you guys are defending this shit product.
Probably doesn't play any better than something a few fans have done in the past few years. (engine wise I'm speaking)
