Looks like Rotor from the US comics. Guess that means we will be getting an ice level, Maybe Ice Cap rehash?

Well, a lot of fans were asking for Ice Cap to be a Generations DLC stage, perhaps that convinced them to make an ice themed zone.
Really liking these new badniks though, especially Steelion.

I want both. I love snow levels, and to not have DLC levels in Sonic Generations is a wasted opportunity.

If Unleashed and Sonic 06 had DLC, Generations should too.

The Seal though... I have no idea what that will possibly do.

You have to roll attack him like Caterkiller. A simple Spin Attack will not work as the seal will raise his head and bounce Sonic away with his nose. Yes, I just made that up, but that was the first thing to come to mind when I saw the concept art.

Well, it implies good physics, then.

Anyway, I kinda like the look of these badnicks. But let's see how it looks in 3D, shall we?
(Because the episode 1 artworks were kinda cool, but the 3D models quite awfull in my opinion)

It's hard to say. Being a Boar it'll probably have some charge move of some type. The "Spikes" badnik will most likely function like the Sonic 1 enemy. The Seal though... I have no idea what that will possibly do. Typically the only aquatic enemies are fish, and the only enemies in Ice Cap were an Orbitron thing and the Penguinator. Assuming the seal is not a boss, only Sega knows what this thing will do.

Guessing from what enemies we have I'm saying there's a Beach level and an ice/water level. I have no problems with either.

I could see the seal/sea lion badnik in a Carnival/Water Trope Stage (bounces a ball into the air from underwater?), and "spikes" probably would fit in a beach level, but the boar one would fit any non-Water, Green Hill-ish Stage trope, so that one is harder to guess.

Platforming element? Might be cool.

Still not too excited, I want to see some actual gameplay before I get too excited. Regardless, I like the new designs and attempts at originality.

The Badniks today look pretty cool.

That looks like Mecha Sea Lion from sonic 2 8-bit.

Unleashed did have DLC. You could download extra acts, which were really just the old acts modified with different traps and such. It was lame, but it was DLC.

No I know that, I was saying those two games both had DLC, and they weren't nearly as popular as Generations, thus Generations should get DLC. But that's off topic.

[Rodgers]

As much as I know that this does resemble a lot off of the Rhinobot and Rhinotank. . . . that's still a pretty cool design.





The seal badnik on the otherhand. . . . not so much..

[jasonchrist]

Blasphemy! The Seal is THE crowning achievement of E2.

[Indigo Rush]

Seal badnik.

Hermit Crab badnik.

...beach/sea zone confirmed?

Emerald Hill would make a great deal sense. In fact, we should have anticipated it.
