I've noticed over the
years that several
rumors have started
pertaining to the SatAM
universe, only to
realize that several of
them aren't true or
aren't the whole truth.
Below is a list of
current rumors, and
corrections and truths
about them:
RUMOR:
The SatAM series was
based off the Archie
comic series and its
characters.
FACT: It's the
other way around, Archie
was based off the SatAM
series. DiC created all
the characters that are
in SatAM including
Sally, Bunnie and Dulcy.
ALSO it was ARCHIE that
screwed up Antoine and
made him brave rather
than making him a coward
like in the SatAM
series. The reason the
comic came out first is
because it takes a lot
less time to develop a
comic verses a whole
cartoon series.
 RUMOR:
After Ultra Sonic aired,
there was somewhat of an
uproar at Sega
headquarters about Sonic
crying. DiC was told
Sonic was never allowed
to cry in the series
again.
FACT: Sega had no
control whatsoever over
SatAM. They got the
scripts and that's it.
If someone from Sega
said something to DiC,
it wouldn't have
affected the outcome of
any episodes at all. The
writers only have one
boss to listen to, and
they had to listen to
ABC, not Sega.
RUMOR:
Blast to the Past part 2
screwed up. It showed a
scene where Bunnie was
about to be roboticized,
but Sonic and Sally shut
it down before she gets
part way roboticized,
and it never changes how
Bunnie looks in the
future. If she wasn't
roboticized at that
moment, she shouldn't
be, period.
FACT: Let me tell
you, I'm so sick of
hearing this. This is
more or less a
correction... who said
Bunnie HAD to be
roboticized in Blast to
the Past part 2? My
guess is she was
roboticized along the
line somewhere, NOT in
that episode.
RUMOR:
At the end of the
Doomsday destruction
scene, we see Robotnik's
hover unit fly off the
screen but we don't see
what happened to it.
FACT: In reality,
that's the Freedom
Fighter's hover unit,
you can tell by the
colors. Robotnik's hover
unit ended up in the
Void.

RUMOR:
The eyes behind
Snively at the
very end of
Doomsday
belonged to
Metal Sonic.
FACT: I
want to know who
started this!
For crying out
loud it was
Naugus, not
Metal Sonic or
Knuckles,
NAUGUS! See the
Lost 3rd Season
page for more
information.
RUMOR: A
third season of
SatAM was never
made because of
image cels being
sold illegally.
FACT:
This is also
incorrect, the
real reason is
because it
didn't get the
ratings it
needed and the
new president of
ABC didn't like
the show, so he
had it canceled.
Once again see
the
Lost 3rd Season
page for more
information. |
RUMOR: There were
episodes of the 3rd
season made that never
aired, they're somewhere
in DiC's vault. (also
I've heard of a second
part to Doomsday airing
in some areas...)
FACT: The 3rd
Season got as far as
about the first five
episodes being laid out,
nothing else. No
episodes, no
storyboards, no nothing
else, just planning.
RUMOR: Image cels
of SatAM were recalled
and are illegal to own.
FACT: This is not
true, I own several cels
and so do other people.
You also see them on
Ebay sometimes.
