Verti-Cal
It's time for AtomicTiki's Obscuri-JAM again on deviantART, but just because the event is DA exclusive doesn't mean I can't share my 2 entries with you guys!

Up first we have Horizont-Al, a demi-god from the Archie Sonic multiverse, hailing from a dimension (or zone as they call it) where the laws of physics don't exist, and because of such, he could do just about anything, as could his fellow zone inhabitant, Verti-Cal.

Unfortunately, at one point Dr. Robotnik had launched his ultimate weapon on Mobius, the Ultimate Annihilator, causing their zone to be almost completely destroyed, though the 2 lived, they stopped being friends and instead became vicious warmongers against one another, transforming into giant robots (they were humanoid originally) blaming each other for the events happening, and tried to destroy each other on numerous occasions.

At one point they even ran across Sonic and Tails (who had stumbled into their zone by accident), brainwashed them and then tried to have them fight to the death (in one of my all time favorite Archie Sonic moments, ever)! Thankfully, the bond Sonic and Tails had prevented the outcome from getting messy. Unfortunately, their antics eventually caught the attention of Zonic the Zone Cop, who then incarcerated them and put them into the No Zone's Zone Jail. They helped Scourge in a jailbreak, but were caught once again, and remained prisoners while Scourge and his team left them to rot.

Now, thanks to the comic's retconning with Eggman's Genesis Wave (and certain writers having a falling out with the company), who knows if we'll ever see them again.

I remember these 2 ! I first saw them somewhere in the first 6 issues of Sonic (I never got issues 7-28 because the art and the stories were primitive. With issues #29-31 I got interested again, and subscribed. I cancelled my sub at #134 because of the direction the series was taking. Issue 46 was the last self-contained tale.)

The DEATH of Robotnik detonated major events, incl. the ravage of Horizont-Al's and Verti-Cal's dimension. Their transformation was shocking ! (Robotnik II did not debut until #62 or so, tho a sinister ARM appears early in the year after Robotnik I's death.)

They could walk among men as men - until the devastation of their realm, turned them into pre-Cambrian forms. They re-evolved - as mechanoids. They remembered Sonic and, just for variety, armed and had them fight .You well captured Horizont-Al's malice & menace.

As they had not appeared since , I was surprized to read your update.

I've nothing else to add as you pretty well jibed with what I read.
