“Happy Birthday, Sonic. Now feel our mighty laser blast!” That’s something we’d imagine the combined forces of Gemerl, Orbot and Cubot would say to the blue blur as they stomp around Station Square in this Mighty Morphin’ mech of mass destruction.
Yes, it’s time for Sonic Channel’s Calendar artwork for July 2023, and as you know already the theme this year is “Isekai Ohgiri”, which puts Sonic characters in unique and unfamiliar scenarios. And I don’t know about you, but I definitely wouldn’t see the otherwise meek and gentle servants Orbot and Cubot join forces to create something mega-deadly. Gemerl… eh, he’s had previous.
As with all Sonic Calendar 2023 art pieces, the scene is awesomely dramatic, and we just love the craziness of this setup. On the Sonic Channel website (where you can download a PDF of this month’s calendar art to print off for yourself, here), there is talk of “pests” and “insecticide”, which makes the whole thing sound even more off-the-rails. Which is great. More of that, please.
Sonic Channel usually throws in a full story to complement each month’s Calendar art, but this time around it appears to be coming a bit later (probably because it’s Sonic’s birthday today – lots of other things going on!). So keep checking the link above if you’re curious about what Sonic Team ‘canonically’ has to say about this intense robot partnership!
