Description

<rant>
The SatAM universe (comic and tv) was probably the best thing that ever came out of the Sonic series.
Like seriously, Julius Robotnik was what Eggman should have been this whole time, not the childish villain he is today.
What happened to all the dark storyline that actually made sense? It's now a bastardised repetitive series.
What happened to all the classic dieselpunk designs that were so detailed and intricate? They're now simplistic mechanics that look like they came from Futurama.
Remember when there was actually a story behind Robotnik's mechanical arm and how he came into power? Or when the characters actually had depth?
Imagine what all the Sonic games and modern entertainment would be like now if this universe became canon (Only Spinball remained loyal to the universe, others were planned but later cancelled too). 
Like seriously SEGA, a spinoff series artistically did better than you. Get your game up, literally.

So I was watching Grumpcade on Sonic & Knuckles and for some reason I felt like drawing something Sonic-related again except part of SatAM since the last time I did a SatAM related picture I believe was back in 2011 and pretty much what inspired me was one of the Egg Mobiles from Sonic the Hegehog 2 which I took and added to, while doing this I decided to do Sonic as well as the background being a street of Robotropolis with Robotnik's spire being heavily damaged, in my headcanon for this picture Sonic and the Freedom Fighters managed to inflict a critical hit on Robotropolis while assuming Robotnik died in the process but to their surprise (only Sonic appears in this picture) he managed to survive, and it just emphasises how ruthless and powerful such a well-made antagonist can be.

The reason why I named this 'Immortal' was not only because of the context of the scenery, but in reference to SatAM as a whole to me and anyone else who deeply loves this universe.


Also made it wallpaper sized, yay!

Even Spinball didn't really consider SatAM as any sort of "canon"; Eggman is in his classic appearance in that game, the Freedom Fighters only appear in one tiny cameo in a bonus stage, and somehow, SCRATCH has more screentime than any of them.
