Wot, no Robotnik?

Thursday 12 October 2006
As the Xbox 360 and PS3 debut of Sonic the Hedgehog (and Shadow, and Silver, and bit-parts from various other speed-running, ring-jumping mammals) approaches, we've got our hands on artwork for four of the bos✃ses you'll be facing off against.

Mechanical beasties that wouldn't look out of place in one of Sega's mech action titles, and a final boss that looks big enough to make even Sonic's spikes🐟 wilt in dismay, will all be crashing the hedgehog's 15th birthday like the party-poopers bosses are.

There's nothing worse than a pesky flying boss, except perhaps a pesky flying boss that's also a massive robotic dragon, like the Wyvern here. That head-mounted gun's a bit of overkill - and we'll be interested t♏o see exactly who will be sitting in the cockpit.
