Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 208 is the two-hundred and eighth issue in the main Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.

Story One

 * "Iron Dominion" - Part One:

Snively Robotnik approaches Regina Ferrum, whom is still enraged about her losses against the Freedom Fighters. She tells Snively he better have a solution to this problem or he'll be put in a cell like his crazed uncle. Snively then told of how A.D.A.M. once used Nanites to create a city. He then told of how NICOLE used the Nanites to create New Mobotropolis. The solution is that those Nanites are microscopic machines and that NICOLE is just an advanced AI. Regina rejoices (and reconciles) with her lover, since the information he gave her means the entire city can be controlled by her Magitek. She tells Snively to rally the troops.

At the King Frederick Airbase within New Mobotropolis, Sonic is talking to Tails about his newly created Tornado. Sonic remarked that NICOLE could have built him one. Tails's response was that she had offered but questioned what mechanic would he be if he didn't even work on his own plane. Sonic wondered about the Nanite-powered plane they had been using but Tails said NICOLE recycled the Nanites. Tails then asked if Sonic wanted to talk about something else but before Sonic could say anything, an alarm went off. Sonic rushed off and found NICOLE, who reported to the hedgehog and the approaching Sally and Monkey Khan that the Iron Dominion is staging a full invasion and that they are making no effort to hide. When Sally and Monkey Khan left together, Sonic made a remark that he doesn't like how things are looking.

When Snively helped the Iron Queen down from her Egg Mobile, the Iron King made a snide remark on making their lackeys feel familiar. The Iron Queen responded that Snively knew his place. NICOLE appeared outside New Mobotropolis and remarked to the Iron Queen that she evidently didn't know her own place and told her to leave. The Iron Queen laughed at that and used her techomagic to extert her will over NICOLE's Nanites and took control over the AI.
