Dr. Starline was honestly a really interesting character. Someone who thought he had Dr. Eggman figured out, only to realize that he knew very little about the doctor. And his own hubris would lead to his very downfall in the end at the hands of Dr. Eggman.

GREAT VIDEO ON IDW SONIC COMICS DOCTOR STARLINE.

Starline's logo is a star line in front of his most defining feature, his hair. And having there be 5 stars makes it seem like a rating. It shows that he believes he is the best being a 5 out of 5 stars

and now there is another character that has some similarities and mindset to Starline that being Lanolin, they both were inspired by the two respective people they look up to that being Eggman and Sonic but when they find out how they truly operates they both grew disappointed and frustrated at their methods that they tried to "fix" how it should be done but ends up failing into the same cycle as them and Starline serves as a cautionary tale to Lanolin

Dr star lines logo is probably based on the fact HE is based on the Star line glitch in sonic and knuckles where a glitch out knuckle would appear white and have his name changed to a line of *****.

Never underestimate Eggman, that's the lesson here lol

Mimic wanted himself deleted from the eggman database because eggman was after him. And that data will always remind him. Without it, eggman would forget about mimic. Just like he mostly forgot about starline. I am 99% sure that eggman had data of starline in the eggman database. Wich is why he knew everything about starline again during the fight. I also would love a video about mimic. He is a very intresting character

🗡🐙 Why yes indeed

Adding to the "Starline is based on Wechnia" idea, I've heard the game will generate a line of stars/asterisks instead of a name for the character if you go to one of the screens that show names (I forget which one it is, but I think it's in the debug mode), hence why his name is "Starline" and he has the line of stars as his emblem/insignia.

Man, I absolutely fell in love with Dr Starline seeing him for the first time. Such an interesting character.

If my info is correct, when choosing a core for mimic they struggled until i believe sega actually suggested the fly core but mimic would fly like if he was swimming in the air. (So short mimic flight is like an octpi swimming)

It is. Starline is a reference to the infamous Wechnia glitch from knuckles chaotix. As a platypus he’s a monotreme like echidnas and the name that shows up for the glitch character in game is a line of asterisks, or a Star line.

The Starline logo actually refers to the glitch in Knuckle’s Chaotix, the weird glitchy palette, that can fly like tails! And the star line, well, that’s the character name in the game when you’re selecting your player character and partner character.

Eggman was cold af here 2:55

Dr.Starline was my favorite in the comic I love his design, voice, and that he admires Eggman but in the end he met his demise. A decent number of people say Dr.Starline is more evil than Eggman no he isn't he will never surpass Eggman in evil all he did was bring him back and try to kill Sonic and Silver. Afterwards he free Zavok, Mimic, Rough, and Tumble and attempt to destroy innocent lives just to get away with his captives Rouge and Tails he kidnap Surge and Kit turn them into cyborgs to use for his master plan. Eggman did everything Starline did like kidnapping Cream, Vanilla, and Animals and trying to use them as batteries for his robots he always tries to kill the heroes and at one point he blow half the moon. There are so many Sonic villains worst than Dr.Starline such as Black Doom, Infinite, Zavok (Debatable), Erazor Djinn (Sonic and the Secret Rings, Mephiles, Dr.Eggman, and The End (Sonic Frontiers).

Took me a while to realize Starlight is a platypus

starline....the 5 stars are stars....in a line

He's not coming back. It's been confirmed.

Rough is the small one, tumble is the big one 19:21 the orangutan is called Shagi, i think 20:07 starline has optimus prime matrix of leadership

Starline was honestly a great character imo

Cant wait for the surge video as imo she's like the best thing to come out of idw by far

At 20:10! You can see the Matrix of Leadership from the Transformers series.

He is a really cool character. That's why I am really sad, they killed him off, just to prove how ,,ooh, aah", Eggman is. We really need a new blood in villains, rather than using the same, old fatso over and over again. I don't say he's a bad villain. I'm just saying the others are not bad either.

20:11 is that the matrix of leadership from transformers G1 on the shelf in the left panel or is it a sonic reference I don’t get?

I don't know if starline is supposed to be a idiotic fanboy or an actually capable villain. Idw sonic is good to read casually and not take it too seriously, rather than seeing it as canon to the games, similar to frontiers taking a lot of liberties with the characters.

17:37 Dr. Starline is confirmed by Ian Flynn to be based on the glitched Tails from Knuckles Chaotix, Wechnia. The reason for the name Starline is that it’s a reference to the secret/probably debug character and stage select you can access in the game. Where you see a line of stars in the second slot, which is Wechnia.

His logo looks like a skunk tail. Withs stars

I adore Starline because he's a flawed villain, he makes mistakes that come back to bite him later, he has trouble even getting his plans off the ground sometimes. Honestly it's really refreshing to see a villain struggle for other reasons that being foiled by the heroes. Because yeah... having your master plan fall apart after so much work would be really discouraging, it's rather humanizing to see Starline affected by it, to the point of even giving up. I really hope he comes back, by far my favorite original character of IDW. If I had to write a story line with Starline, I'd step away from all the bio-engineering and focus more on his hypnosis, because that has big potential. Just imagine that nobody knows who is a sleeper agent of Starline or not, nobody can be fully trusted, nobody knows who Starline has secretly hypnotized and made forget they were caught by him. They can't even trust themselves to not turn on their friends, everyone might be just a hair's breath away from having their secret hypnosis triggered, whether that is by hearing a specific word or sentence, observing something or it might even just activate after a certain amount of time has passed.
