Why does this character exist?

Why does this character exist?
I like him but he's just an Eggman who can lay eggs.

he's basically a replacement for both Snively and Finitevus from Archie since Ian Flynn couldn't use either of those characters anymore after the switch to IDW but liked the kind of archetypes they represented, plus like Surge & Kit(and Finitevus before him) he's a reference to one of the glitches from the Genesis era games

His only Finitevus trait is the teleporting stuff. Character wise he behaves a lot like Maw. Or at least did before finding flaws in his husbando.

Wait their a "he"? I genuinely thought they were a girl...

And TB. Maw was just suave and could care less about anything but his research.

Think gay fashion designer and you'll understand.
But yes probably everyone thinks he's a girl without any context.

The sonic comics manage to be worse written than the games and with more furry ocs, why bother with "why does this character exist" the writer wanted a character like that so they made one

>The sonic comics manage to be worse written than the games
I don't even need to point at '06. You clearly haven't played them.
>why bother
Why bother to respond to this thread if it's so meaningless to you?

On one hand, he put in work for world building. Through him, we got to see a lot more of Eggman's base network and infrastructure, which of course he'd need to do the shit he pulls. He'd also shone a light on old things, egg-tech and other oddities, that help the world feel wider.
And the fact that he's another faction with agency helps the world feel more full of people, rather than just Sonic & friends vs the doctor.

In a very practical sense, he was also the door that let Surge onto the scene, who looks like a fun character.

That this is a male is such a fucking waste of a perfectly good design. We could've had floods of porn of her getting the BHC, but instead that guy is a guy rather than a female.

Fucking bullshit, that's what it is! We were robbed of a hot chick in a business suit!

>His only Finitevus trait is the teleporting stuff.
well like I mentioned both Finitevus and Starline take their color schemes from a Knuckles glitch, which is why Starline is a Platypus(since Ian is probably not allowed to make any new Echidna characters anymore, so might as well have Starline be the other type of Monotreme that still exists*) and indeed where his name is derived from as said glitch has where Knuckles name would be instead it's a row of **** or in otherwords a "Starline"

*which is what probably led Ian to make Surge a Tenrec and Kit a Fennec Fox

>In a very practical sense, he was also the door that let Surge onto the scene, who looks like a fun character.
Flynn's original plan was to have Starline, Surge, and Kit all debut at the same time(since all three are based off glitched sprites of Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails respectively) but various factors led to those plans being altered, hence why we had to wait for Surge & Kit till after the whole Zombot arc

IDW/Sega allowed Ian to keep working on the Sonic comics? why? isn't the whole fucking purpose of switching companies to also switch writers/artists? what the fuck, man. I would have blacklisted his ass.

>his name is derived from as said glitch has where Knuckles name would be instead it's a row of **** or in otherwords a "Starline"
Goddamn, that's way better than I gave it credit for.

>We were robbed of a hot chick in a business suit!
But we have that already. The unfortunate thing being she's not much of a character.

She may be a woman wearing a business suit but if she's not a smug bitch then what's even the point?

Cumbrain mentality

I'm hoping we get an actual villainess that fills that role.

I don't want that barely-above-NPC bug, I want a female Starline!
That's all Sonic is good for to me. Serving as a source of waifurs and targets to be broken by BHC.

Ian made Eggman a short sighted retard in order to make his OC look better.

Leave it to user and everyone but Sonic would be a girl. And that includes Eggman. And it wouldn't even be a well drawn Eggwoman, it'd be a generic thot.

>Ian made Eggman a short sighted retard
Eggman was always a short sighted retard. How many times has he been fucked over by his own creations or ancient horrors he unleashed in games alone? About a dozen?

lol, no. Eggman would be the Ugly Bastard routinely abducting the cast to have his way with them, with femSonic being his favorite victim. He sells the resulting daughters to other humans.

>We could've had floods of porn of her getting the BHC, but instead that guy is a guy rather than a female.
That only make Any Forums outrage here
