Story One[]

Sonic Comic Origins: "The Belle in the Machine"

As the Knothole Freedom Fighters' training simulation aboard the Sky Patrol continues, Bunnie contemplates how she came to this point in her life. Growing up in Mobotropolis, she tried to be refined, and dreamed of marrying a gentleman and becoming a hair stylist when she grew up. However, her life changed when Dr. Eggman invaded Mobotrpolis and took it over. The attack left her badly injured, forcing Dr. Charles the Hedgehog and Rosie Woodchuck to take her to Charles' laboratory. Using his Roboticizer, Chuck turned Bunnie into a cyborg, allowing her to survive her injuries. However, the adjustment proved difficult, with Bunnie feeling that she had been horribly changed.

However, she found friends-her future teammates-who helped her to return to a sense of normalcy; Antoine even made her feel that she was still beautiful. Bunnie soon decided to join the Freedom Fighters, but as time went on her original limbs became outdated. Determined to stay in the fight, she decided to undergo an upgrade, but-as she informed Antoine-risked never becoming fully organic again. Antoine supported her decision, and later proposed to Bunnie, who accepted and became his wife. With her trip down memory lane over, Bunnie returned to the present to join her teammates in their exercise. She concluded by reflecting on her life and noting that while it hadn't turned out as she had expected as a child, she wouldn't have it any other way.

    • Eventually, just like in the old world, Bunnie's limbs were upgraded, even though it apparently decreased or eliminated the chance of her ever being returned to a fully organic form.
