January 3rd, 2024 Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------ *Note: N’Oni did an amazing job with the thumbnail!* ------------------------------------------ 1:33 - If the main sonic and idw cast were to be summoned as servants in the fate series what would their classes be. *I put the rundown of the classes in the replies if anyone's curious* 2:24 - Since you are not head writer anymore, what was your favorite thing to write in IDW till now? 4:34 - I noticed on the holiday TailsTube that Omega once again mentioned the term "Eggman's Robots", which gave me war flashbacks to that infamous line Tails said in Heroes. But the name "badniks" was canon to the games, wasn't it? I thought they were actually called that in the genesis games. Is that name no longer usable in official stuff? 5:51 - During the Holiday party at restoration hq, surge accidentally got some mistletoe stuck on the tip of her quills and everyone notices EXCEPT her and kit. The question is, who DARES? 7:16 - In the Archie Comics, we've seen Sonic transform into his Ultra Sonic form by both absorbing a massive quantity of Power Rings, and using a Super Emerald. Do you think that it's fair to say that if Scourge absorbed a comparable number of Power Rings, or used some kind of Super Beryl that he would be able to become Ultra Scourge as well? Imagine how terrifying THAT would be. (Hop on that, fan artists!) 9:37 - Question: What would movie Vector sound like if he was voiced by Jack Black the voice of Bowser in the Mario movie? 10:45 - Sonic wakes up with a metaphorical bug in his ear and decides to change his life's pace. He starts to go to Nermiebucks daily to write while slowly working on his novel. How well does those around him handle this change? 12:59 - Josh Brolin’s SatAM Robotnik #2: Please Say these three SatAM Robotnik Quotes in the Voice of Josh Brolin (Thanos-like voice)! "A nice dream, but dreams are meant to be… Broken." "If nothing else, you have been a most worthy adversary. But, in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game...losers...get Roboticized!" "I really hate that hedgehog!” 14:54 - Lyric the Ancient has found out about....Metal Gear and intends to infiltrate the facility where it is held using the advanced technology known as cardboard boxes! Only one group of people stand in his way of opposing him. The original Diamond Cutters! Can they stop this snake's solid plans of obtaining Metal Gear and using it to dominate the world?!? 17:02 - What would sonic talk about on a ranty run podcast or any of the main cast. What would they rant on about? 19:10 - Amy decides that kissing all of her friends sounds very appealing so she tries to form a polycule. How successful is she? 19:58 - Alright, there's only so much secrets we can keep! We the people must KNOW! How does Boom Sonic keep his lunch down while going so fast? 20:55 - yo ian flynn can you sing the firefly theme 22:33 - Watched an Archie Sonic video, and the background music got me thinking. What Classic Era songs do you associate with Sally? If no Classic songs come to mind, do you have any song that do? 24:16 - Does scourge's father have a name? If not, what name would you come up with now? 25:16 - Since like, 90% of the Sonic cast knows how to drive, let's get silly with it. What were their driving lessons like? Who do you think crashed the most while learning? Whose car has a traffic cone (or unfortunate civilian) lodged in the wheel well?! Does Silver even actually know how to drive or is he just using his telekinesis to move the car while making 'vroom vroom' noises with his mouth? 27:58 - Moebius 30 years later, what is going on over there? We know Sonic had to deal with king Shadow, and became king himself, but what happened to Scourge in this timeline? Or did you already have something in mind back in the day? 31:19 - In your opinion, what's a general rule of thumb to keep in mind when writing Starline? Any tips for maintaining voice and characterization? 34:10 - In Dr Who there is a godlike being named the Celestial Toymaker (he's kinda like Mr Myxptlk) who challenges people to games of their choosing and if he loses he grants the winner a wish and goes away. If he wins however the loser is turned into a toy and added to his collection. I’m curious, what games would Sonic and co challenge him to? Cheating is an instant loss btw and could you please include Tangle, Whisper, Surge & Kit? 36:16 - When I was a kid and playing Sonic Heroes for the first time, I used to wonder what it would be like to make a custom team out of the characters. My team is Cream as the flight type, Espio as the speed, then Omega as the power type. What teams would you guys make up? 37:38 - Deathspawn era Harold accesses the Internet (Black Arms seem good at that) and goes Christmas shopping. What does he buy for Shadow, Tails, Cheese and whoever else? Does Black Oak era Harold handle Christmas shopping the same way? 39:52 - Ian, if you had the chance to write an Eggman Nega story, what would you write to make the character acceptable to you? 40:22 - If tangle had the sword from sonic and the black knight (Caliburn) what do you think would happen and what conversations would you think they would have, any chaos? *This was also asked on the August 23rd, 2023 BK!* 41:21 - We know what Starline would do if he were to find out he was in a licensed comic book, same with Surge, but what if… preboot Eggman found out? He came really close to with his realization of the chaos force Sonic has, which always makes his plans fall apart in the end, but he never managed to put two and two together. But what if he did, and made the same realization that Surge did that he legally wasn’t allowed to ever win completely, or kill Sonic? Would any of his servants even believe him in the slightest if he shared this realization? If he ever did figure this out though, then uhh… it was nice knowing you Ian! 43:11 - Omega calling eggman's robots "worthless consumer models" got me thinking. Can you just buy a badnik from eggman? An eggpawn to clean around the house? A motobug to ride to work? What badniks would you buy to do chores and patrol the BumbleKompound? 44:43 - Can Ian sing "Nobody's Hero" from DKC? *Why do I want NateWantsToBattle to do a cover of this now?* -------------------------------------- 46:55 - Thanks to those who support the show 52:50 - Outtake 1 54:07 - Outtake 2 55:33 - Outtake 3
Fate's classes (for the first question): If you're unfamiliar with the fate series there are seven main classes being the saber class people who excel at swordplay, the lancer class people who use polearms such as lances, spears, and staffs, the archer class people who use projectiles and ranged based attacks, the rider class people with a mount of some kind such as sailors, pilots, and cavalrymen, the caster class which contains magicians, scientist, artists, writers, and musicians, the assassin class people who use more underhanded tactics such as poisons or ninja, and the berserker class people who have been consumed with rage or have some sort of extreme obsession. There are more classes than this but they tend to be used for fate's own original characters. In my opinion I'd put Tangle in the lancer class and 2000s Amy in berserker with how those games portray her love for sonic.
Ayyyyy, my question got answered! To sum up why I asked specifically for Boom Sonic, it's because of that episode in Season 2. Sonic was hooked up to a machine that increased his Boost Speed, but it went a little wrong. Tails went in, and after trying out the speed, he was curious how Sonic kept his lunch down moving so fast. Sonic's answer? "There are some secrets not even best friends can know." But now... Now WE KNOW!
39:52 I think what sucks most about Eggman Nega is that he was introduced alongside Blaze. They put a character who’s character and design made her a fan favourite for two decades next to an Eggman reskin who’s language is a bit more refined and… he’s more willing to take drastic measures to “win”, I guess (if blowing yourself up with your enemies is winning)? I mean, those aren’t even unique traits for Eggman. He already cares about how he presents himself and his mechs, and there have been incarnations of the character that would absolutely do what Nega did in SRA. Heck, he rammed into Super Sonic in Worlds Collide (which takes place in a setting that very heavily resembles the games) and permanently altered the universe. It honestly feels like Nega was created to be a “serious” Eggman, which rings kinda hollow when the original has awakened gods and blew up half the moon. And this isn’t even considering the stuff that happened after Rush, like draining the planet of life in Lost World, Forces’ war and the events of IDW.
Oh they should have dropped the whole princess from another dimension thing completely I think. This whole aspect of Blaze stops her from appearing and when she does it rarely makes sense. Also it adds nothing to her or the world of sonic. It just makes her less marketable.
The excellent BumbleAlbum is coming along smoothly, I see! --- Steamed Hams references this episode: 0 Total since count began: 10 Total references to counter: 1
Honestly, I assumed the question about the mistletoe was asking who would be brave enough to pointed out. I didn’t even consider it could be the other option.
Hey Kyle, just wanted to drop a comment here. We don't know you super well, but that's not what matters most. What matters is how much you mean to the people who care about you. This goes for everyone, but I'm directing it to you, Kyle. Thanks for what you do. Start safe out there, everyone. Make 2024 a good one ❤
It's only a matter of time until the Bumblekast becomes 90% song requests and 8% "Why won't this character fall in love with this character" and the last 2% are the some people asking the most esoteric insanity to fit to scale.
My question would the Rabbids be considered illegal zone hoppers for their migration into Mario's universe in the Mario + Rabbids games and would the Zone Cops try to go after them?
I know that this question was for funsies so don't take this too seriously. In the Team Sonic racing games, Amy was trash talking Blaze and her driving skills came up. "Amy: You do much driving, Princess, or do you have a chauffeur? / Blaze: Are you mocking me, Amy? I will have you know driving is one of my many skills."
Interestingly, team sonic racing stated that one of blaze’s skills is driving. Period now, of course that’s more of a justification for the cart racer, but would that imply that at least some automobiles exist even if they’re not as practical as boats in her world (where life is strong.)
Alternate universe: sonic, tails, and amy are the detective agency. vector, espio, and charmy are the main heroes. eggman, starline, deadly six, etc bad guys, all become supporting good guy cast. and shadow, rouge, knuckles, tangle, whisper, etc good guys all become supporting bad guy cast. what do all their adventures look like? or mix this around however you want. like tangle and whisper being the replacement eggman and eggman be the replacement sonic, etc. alternate universes in media are so great. always need more silly/neat script flips.

NateWantsToBattle, now that is a name I have not heard in a long time.
@ Really? Huh. I thought more Sonic fans would know him considering he contributed to Sonic Frontiers with "One Way Dream".

31:29 Now I can see Ian Flynn having Starline as his imaginary friend when he was growing up.
The Jack Black and Sonic writing a book makes me laugh

Happy New Year 2024 Ian and Kyle!!!!!

Purgatory is nicer than I thought it’d be.

Thanks
Mine already started awful
But thanks anyway
My question would the Rabbids be considered illegal zone hoppers for their migration into Mario's universe in the Mario + Rabbids games and would the Zone Cops try to go after them?
22:55 I think the theme of wood zone from sonic before the sequel would fit sally very well
I know that this question was for funsies so don't take this too seriously. In the Team Sonic racing games, Amy was trash talking Blaze and her driving skills came up.
"Amy: You do much driving, Princess, or do you have a chauffeur? / Blaze: Are you mocking me, Amy? I will have you know driving is one of my many skills."
Interestingly, team sonic racing stated that one of blaze’s skills is driving. Period now, of course that’s more of a justification for the cart racer, but would that imply that at least some automobiles exist even if they’re not as practical as boats in her world (where life is strong.)

Question. if you were able to add or change one thing from sonic, silver and shadow storys from sonic 06 what would it be😎
I don't know if I got lost, does Ian Flynn no longer work at IDW?
I believe he's just no longer in charge of the main storyline for the sonic comic but still contributes
First Bumblekast of the new year drops on my Birthday? Cooool. 🎉
(Yeah there's a schedule, but still. 😂)
