Archie Sonic Timeline Evolution

Recommended Posts

I hope I can explain this properly: in the old Archie Sonic canon, there are a few alternate future realities showcased at various points, and they all diverge from different times in the main Primezone's timeline, and they diverge for various reasons (usually because of time travel)

So I thought it'd be interesting to analyze all these alternate timelines, not just the known ones, but also the ones that would've been created by Silver's time traveling.

 

Timeline 1:

Diverge point- before StH#21
In the Freedom Fighters final battle against Robotnik, he roboticizes himself, becoming Robo-Robotnik, and he ends up being destroyed, but his consciousness is uploaded to a satellite. Nicole is destroyed during this final battle. Years later, Mobius is peaceful, Sonic becomes King, with Sally as his Queen, while Rotor creates a new Nicole and sends her to the past (Timeline 2). Suddenly, Robotnik arrives from the past (Timeline 2) and meets his future self. This inspires Robo-Robotnik to make a final strike against his old foes, he does so by nuking Mobotropolis, killing the royal family and the kingdom. Robo-Robotnik then leaves this timeline and travels to timeline 2...
 
Timeline 2:
Diverge point- before Knuckles story in StH#106
Freedom Fighters battle Robotnik. After a freak-accident, Robotnik is sent into the future (Timeline 1) where he meets his future (Robo-Robotnik) self. Upon returning to the past (this timeline), he makes sure that he doesn't make the mistake his future self makes, thus reshaping the future. Nonetheless he ends up being erased by the Ultimate Annihilator. Soon however, Robo-Robotnik arrives from Timeline 1 and takes his place (becoming Eggman). When talks begin on Angel Island about unification, Knuckles the Echidna becomes corrupted with power. With the truth hidden from her, his estranged daughter Lara-Su travels to the past (Timeline 3) to stop her father from allegedly being killed. Upon her return, she fights to bring down her corrupted father, Dark Enerjak. She is briefly aided by Silver the Hedgehog (who came all the way back from Timeline 7).
 
Timeline 3:
Diverge point- somewhere between StH#130 and #166
Everything up to the unification talks on Angel Island happens. Lara-Su arrives from the future (Timeline 2) to stop her father from allegedly being killed, but it turns out she was misinformed. Her tampering in the past causes the timeline to go in a different direction. The Xorda return and attempt to destroy Mobius, but Sonic stops them, he gets flung into space in the process. He soon returns and begins fighting in the war against the newly established Eggman Empire. This war culminates in Chaos Knuckles disintegrating Eggman, before he goes out of control again. Sonic is forced to stop him, this event causes Knuckles to lose his eye. 25 years later, Mobius is at peace, but then its discovered that the fabric of reality is breaking down. In an effort to fix it and stop the world from being destroyed, Sonic is sent back in time (Timeline 4)...
 
Timeline 4:
Diverge point- before StH#195
Everything up to Sonic returning from space happens as it did before. At some unseen point, King Sonic arrives from the future (Timeline 3) and does something to fix the fabric of reality, but alters the future in the process. Many things begin to happen after this point, an invasion by the Supression Squad from the alternate reality of Moebius, and an unknown event that would begin a chain leading to the creation of Tikhaos. At some point, the events with Chaos Knuckles and Eggman happen, except Sonic is somehow missing from the event and Shadow takes his place. He defeats Knuckles and goes on to become King, with Sally as his Queen. Soon, Sonic, who's been displaced from the timeline, is found, and he and his allies rise up to overthrow King Shadow, and he retakes his rightful place as King. The "Five Years of Peace" follow, which ends abruptly when the royal family is killed by a missile strike. That night, Tikaos is released from quarantine, and lays waste to the planet, leading to a ruined future 200 years later. At that point, Silver the Hedgehog is trained as a Knight of Chronos, and he begins his mission to find a "traitor" to the Knothole Freedom Fighters, as he goes back in time (Timeline 5) for the first time...
 
Timeline 5:
Diverge point- before SU#5 (M30YL)
As before, until the Suppression Squads invasion. This time, Silver arrives from the future (Timeline 4) to find Sonic. Although he learns he was wrong in his assumption that Sonic was the allusive "traitor", he was at least able to help the turn the tide in defeating King Scourge. Later, the liberation of Iceborough happens in some form. Everything from here on continues more or less as it did before: event leading to Tikhaos, Chaos Knuckles, King Shadow, royal family assassination, and Tikhaos' final rampage. All leading to Silver's ruined future. After arriving back from the past (earlier this timeline) he travels to the slightly more recent past (Timeline 6)...
 
Timeline 6:
Diverge point- before StH#215
Same as before, only this time, Silver arrives from the future (Timeline 5) just in time to save the royal family from assassination. King Sonic then goes on to form the Future Freedom Fighters and manage to seal Tikhaos away again before it can destroy everything. Nonetheless, the planet still eventually goes to ruin...Silver arrives back in his time and continues to research the traitor. He concludes that the culprit is Rotor, he travels to the past yet again (Timeline 7)...
 
Timeline 7:
Diverge point- before StH#235
Sometime after the events with the Suppression Squad and King Scourge, Silver arrives from Timeline 6 to kill Rotor, while he and Sonic are in the Nothern Tundra to liberate Iceborough. Silver realises Rotor is not the traitor, and he travels back to his time with his tail between his legs. Not long after, the events involving King Naugus, the Death Egg, Genesis and Mecha Sally play out. Antoine falls into a coma after an explosion and eventually dies. This effectively prevents the events of M30YL from happening. Many many years later the infestation of the Krudzu Spore would occur. Silver returns to his time where he learns of this event that he has no memory of. Later, Silver is sidetracked to Dark Mobius (Timeline 2), before returning again. He finds a hidden area in the library, containing evidence suggesting the traitor to he Antoine. He travels to the past (Timeline 8) yet again...
 
Timeline 8:
Diverge point- after StH#235
Everything up to Antoine falling into a coma. Silver arrives from the future again (Timeline 7) and discovers Antoine has fallen, eliminating him from the potential traitor line-up. Silver remains in the past, and he eventually manages to identify the traitor as Mecha Sally, but he's too late in making his discovery and he arrives at the final battle, not quick enough to prevent Sonic from being killed. All hope is lost, and Mecha Sally's actions lead to the future being ruined, again. In the future, this timeline's incarnation of Silver goes through all the same stuff as before, only this time he's provided with an extra clue: a newspaper clipping showing him (or his Timeline 7 self) and Sonic confronting the traitor! With this, and the evidence pointing to Antoine as the traitor, he goes into the past (Timeline 9) one last time...
 
Timeline 9:
Diverge point- N/A
Everything up to Antoine's coma happens as before, except for one minor change: Silver's time travel shenanigans has somehow caused a small crack in the fabric of time, which the blue Chaos Emerald would fall through (into Mega Man's world) after the events of Genesis. Silver arrives to discover Antoine has fallen, he then joins the Secret Freedom Fighters, and helps to either prevent or delay the Ixis Resurgence. Harvey Who helps him to identify Mecha Sally as the "traitor", and Silver knows to head toward the Nothern Tundra to help Sonic save her, which he does. Silver has finally completed his mission! But the new future that results lasts for about 5 seconds, as Doctor Eggman and Dr. Wily launch the second Genesis Wave, followed swiftly by the Super Genesis Wave...
