A hanger-on is Chrysalis (although she is really just a friend of Amy). Possible new Freedom Fighters include the Ultimax and Big the Cat, whose café contains one a base for the heroes. Other groups using the term "Freedom Fighters" have been seen in the Turquoise Hill Zone (251's Breaking News! ticker) and the Casino Night Zone (" Vane Hopes"). At the moment, the only remaining Freedom Fighters were Tails (who is now acting as the "hero of Mobius") and Amy, who still seems to be a sort of leader. Members had been slowly whittled away over the years: Porker Lewis quit after a nervous breakdown, Johnny was killed in battle, Tekno and Shorty went missing in Solstice, and Sonic was framed as a supervillain in the eyes of the world. The Control Centre would serve as the hub of the Freedom Fighters until it was destroyed during The Battle For Mobius. Once he was defeated and Mobius was freed, the need for secrecy had passed and the Freedom Fighters established an open, public base called the Control Centre in the Emerald Hill Zone. In their last days before Robotnik's defeat, they operated out of Tekno's secret underground lab. This base was lost as well when Super Sonic destroyed it during a rampage. When this base was discovered and destroyed by Robotnik (thanks to Knuckles the Echidna), they instead roamed Mobius disguised as Bob Beaky's Travelling Circus (the Kintobor Computer was preserved by coding its core program onto one of Mobius' Power Rings). The Freedom Fighters originally operated out of a subterranean base, which had once been the laboratory belonging to Doctor Ovi Kintobor. While Tekno remained a member, Shortfuse proved unable to work as part of a team and left in anger after he'd almost let Johnny die to carry out a grudge match. Amy would swiftly rise in importance, eventually coming to serve as leader in Sonic's absences.Ī later recruit would be the hot-headed Shortfuse the Cybernik, originally an ally of the group through him, scientific genius Tekno joined the team. The team was supported by the Kintobor Computer, which possessed the knowledge and personality of Doctor Robotnik's original form, Doctor Ovi Kintobor.Īmy Rose also joined the team after she became a target for Robotnik. The Freedom Fighters were introduced as a team a short time later. These four individuals had been transported six months into the future by Robotnik (who had taken control of the Omni-Viewer to perform the task), only to find that Robotnik had conquered the planet in their absence. The original Freedom Fighters consisted of Sonic the Hedgehog (the leader and founder), Miles "Tails" Prower, Porker Lewis, and Johnny Lightfoot. The Freedom Fighters, however, remain the most famous group. While they're the only such group to have used the name "Freedom Fighters", other freedom-fighting groups did exist the Underground Movement and the Flock are the most known groups, staying confined to the Odour Zone and Chemical Plant Zone respectively, while nomadic rebels called Zonerunners would cover a wider area and the Sky Pirates targeted Robotnik's shipping. The original members of the team were Sega-created characters ( Porker Lewis and Johnny Lightfoot having been based on the animals rescued at the end of the game levels). The Freedom Fighters, as drawn by Mike Hadley By the time of The Battle for Mobius, the group had ceased to exist as a formal entity, but the term "freedom fighters" came back during the war as an informal term for the former members and any allied agents. After The Final Victory, they became a general-purpose superhero group. Shortly afterwards Sonic destroyed the Weather Annihilator, and the Arctic Freedom Fighters returned to the arctic.The Freedom Fighters were originally a resistance group, opposing Doctor Robotnik's dictatorial rule of planet Mobius. However, the Arctic Freedom Fighters soon arrived and freed them. Afterwards, when the Knothole Freedom Fighters attempted to destroy the Weather Annihilator, Snively managed to freeze all of them with his ice blaster. However, the Arctic Freedom Fighters managed to bring them to a secret location before the SWATbots arrived. Seeking shelter in a cave, Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends were nearly captured by SWATbots who were closing in on their location. When Robotnik created his Weather Annihilator and caused the climate to change, the Freedom Fighters were unable to locate Knothole and return home.
Using some of Robotnik's discarded technology, they were able to create a climate which they could survive in. Forced into hiding, the Arctic Freedom Fighters fled into a deep underground cave below Robotropolis.
When they returned, they found Robotnik had already conquered their territory. Shortly before Robotnik's takeover, the defenders of the North Pole region had left to visit friends far off.
