 Writer Ben Hurst (I) (qv) revealed that the red eyes at the end of  _"Sonic the Hedgehog" (1993) {The Doomsday Project (#2.13)}_ (qv)  (the final episode) actually belonged to Naugus. He explained that  the plans for the third season were: Snively tries to retake control  of Robotropolis, but ultimately fails. On the verge of losing it all  to the Freedom Fighters, he turns to "The Void", where Naugus is  busy torturing Robotnik. Snively frees Naugus, and in the process  also frees Robotnik and King Acorn. Naugus assumes control, and  starts his new command by trying to lure Sally into capture with the  King as bait. Robotnik becomes Naugus lackey. And Snively, now  reduced to a simpering nobody, defects to the Freedom Fighters.  Hurst went on later to say that more developments would have come  along between the relationship of Sonic and Tails, coming a little  closer to the game relationship it strayed so far away from. Sooner  on down the line in possible future episodes we would also have  learned of the origins of Robotnik and Snively.
