I'm thinking that in itself could go a few ways.

He's going back to older prototype clones of Sonic and Tails that were fully mechanical, upgrading them via Chaos Emerald energy. (Think Android 13, alongside 14 and 15)
He actually did have a contingency plan in Surge and Kit succeeded in going rogue, involving a bioengineered monster like Cell taking the abilities of everyone, but with his lab mostly trashed he can't complete it the way he originally intended. Getting the Chaos Emerald is really just a risky shortcut.
Maybe something more akin to Meta Cooler with nanomachine like clones? (but that might risk it being a tad too similar to the Metal Virus)

Since Surge and Kit are already pretty much based on Androids 17 and 18, it would fit their overall theme. "But wait, why is Starline still relying on henchmen after everything?" Well, it's quite possible he's going on outdated data. He's gonna assume Kit and Surge both are still incredibly bloodthirsty with no care for anyone, but will realize too late Surge is slowly turning herself around (Kit not so much) and thinks he might be able to wrestle them back to his side somehow. There's also really no guarantee Eggman beating his ass made him think twice about treating robots and AI as tools and NOT actual people with complex thoughts and emotions, so he'd probably still go for that angle even if it potentially comes at the cost of him dying a second (and who knows maybe permanent) death.

We're still a few months out from Strange Voyage's release. What do we think's up with the three Calamity Clones?

Whose the more pathetic villain?

After Secret Wars, where does MCU Hulk go from here?

Legend has it DK foresaw the trainwreck that was about to occur, got back in the limo and sped away.

Thoughts on Pandon?

Whose your favorite non-game Egg minion/sidekick?

Do you remember the tale of John Namek from Planet Namek?

It's a pretty common take in the fandom that Cadance didn't get much to do in the series. What episode ideas would you have like to see her in?

Not the Handsome Squimpy Statue 😭😭😭😭😭

Turning Red's director Domee Shii is working on what's supposed to be Pixar's first musical. Speaking as someone who doesn't really know the ins and outs of different types of musicals, how do you think this'll stand out from the ones Disney usually makes?

Would you like Tails to build his own robots akin to Gemerl, Gamma and Omega, or do you think that should always be Eggman's thing?

It just occurred to me that this might've been a reference to Panty and Stocking lol

This famous image of proclaimed Yeti footprints was taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1951 near Mount Everest. While they seem legitimate at first glance, sceptics believe they may just be bear tracks deformed by melting snow.

Apparently there's rumors Rare wanted to make a fourth Donkey Kong Country game for the DS, but Nintendo had turned the pitch down. Is there any truth to this or is it just a fan rumor that spiraled?

Season 8 is, by far, Twilight's worst season and I honestly don't think it's a contest. She just becomes so ungodly incompetent and her personality traits suffered the worst flanderization of the Mane 6.

How do you headcanon Peach and Daisy first met? Childhood besties, met through Mario etc.

Random theory: Should the mystery villain IS indeed revealed to be Starline, it's gonna be revealed his goal is to finish some some other project he had post Surge and Kit, in yet another Dragon Ball reference.

Honestly I'm kind of surprised the original Dragon Ball series has never been remade. I feel like it'd do well but there's never been any indication people working on DB content are interested in it.
