Background

Sonic’s background in Fleetway is somewhat different compared to most Sonic continuities. In this universe he was originally a normal brown haired hedgehog, and only gained his blue spikes after breaking the sound barrier. Sonic green eyes were also the result of exposure to energy from the monster chaos.

Sonic’s hair turned blue after he broke the sound barrier for the first time https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-8?id=62103#6
Coming into contact with Chaos made Sonic’s eyes green https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-179?id=61981#2

Sonic and Robotnik were also originally friends in this continuity. Robotnik initially went by the name “Kintobar” and worked with Sonic to try remove evil from the planet with an experiment using the chaos emeralds. It was a freak accident with Kintobar’s evil computer system and the contamination from a rotten egg that caused Kintobar to become the evil Robotnik. Ironically it’s later shown Sonic himself sabotaged the machine via time travel hijinks.

Robotnik was created via an explosion of the chaos emeralds and a rotten egg https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-8?id=62103#8
Sonic himself was the person who left the rotten egg in Robotniks lab that was partially responsible for his transformation https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-71?id=62094#5 https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-71?id=62094#6 https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-71?id=62094#7

In the final story of the Fleetway Continuity Sonic and Co are able to reverse this transformation turning Robotnik back into the good Kintobar.

Kintobar is saved and returned to normal http://www.stconline.co.uk/comics/exitsonic/

Transformations

Super Sonic

A corrupted “superform” caused by Sonic’s exposure to the evil tainted chaos energy at the start of his series. Unlike most series Fleetway Super Sonic is an aggressive alter ego, who is much more aggressive and destructive than the normal Sonic.

Sonic absorbed chaos emerald energy and this is what created Super Sonic https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-27?id=62048#19 https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-27?id=62048#20 https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Sonic-the-Comic/Issue-27?id=62048#21

Super Sonic can use chaos control http://www.stconline.co.uk/comics/stc266/

Additionally Sonic does NOT need chaos emeralds on hand to become Super Sonic. While the form can be forcibly activated in the presence of chaos or ring energy, Sonic can transform at any time when undergoing enough physical or mental stress. In these cases the form will just run off any latent ring/chaos energy Sonic has in his body.

Time limit

Super Sonic does still have a time limit of sorts, though it's less defined than other continuities. Without a constant source of chaos energy Sonic will revert back to his normal form “eventually”. Likewise while Super Sonic was once able to exist as his own separate entity for a time, he was in danger of dying after going for a long period of time without chaos energy. Thus implying he can’t operate at full strength indefinitely.

Hyper Sonic

A new Superform exclusive to Sonic the comic online. After having the evil in Super Sonic and the chaos emeralds purified, Sonic was able to utilize emerald energy in a more positive manner to form Hyper Sonic. This form has all of Super Sonic’s powers, but with the benefit of keeping Sonic himself in control.

It's stated that Sonic was evil in his super form because the original chaos energy he was exposed to was contaminated with evil. After being purified and absorbing normal chaos energy sonic becomes hyper sonic http://www.stconline.co.uk/comics/stc275/
