After discussing their plan to steal some cores from Sonic Heroes, Starline and the gang head to an Eggman base to do so.

(I just want to take this moment to say that this Issue has some of the cutest Rough and Tumbles I've ever seen, thank you Jack Lawrence :3)

After the five of them make it inside the base to steal the cores from these gumball machines, a robot dinosaur shows up because... why not?

"Finally... a Grand Slam!"

So they succeed in getting the cores Starline wants, and Eggman finds out later that they were stolen. He's also starting to piece together that something's up...

And finally, after Starline starts to realize that his boys are good, we find out what he's using those cores for...

And with that, Starline is now a one-man Sonic Heroes :3

One interesting thing to note about the last page is that a couple people have noted a similarity between these new powers and the powers of the mysterious cloaked figure that Shadow fought at the end of Issue 33, so some people think that cloaked figure is in fact Starline. If that is the case, then I'm wondering when Bad Guys takes place relative to the stuff going on in the main series or why he would attack Shadow and Rouge (another common theory is that he or whoever it was was trying to kidnap Rouge, and that seems highly possible).

And for one last thing, here's a new cover for Issue 3 with a stabby boi :3

So Starline decides it’s time to use the Tricore, and it gives him the power he needs to get away from the others. 

So the morning after Mimic and Zavok talk about Starline's plan, they all go on a roadtrip...

My favorite thing about this whole page is this...

Cute Tumble is cute :3

When they finally get to the Eggnet Hub, Starline gives them each a power core...

And with these new powers in hand, they open their way into the Hub!

After busting in, Eggman is quickly notified of the situation. However, Starline hacks into his system and leads him toward a different base.

Okay, first off, Eggman with a scarf! Second, that's the Egg Hawk from Sonic Heroes :3

And finally, once the five of them reach the main computer in the Hub and victory is in Starline's grasp, stuff gets serious.

I honestly find it kinda funny how Mimic's picture in the database is literally just a shot taken from Issue 2 of Tangle and Whisper. Who even took that picture? No one else was there!

First up, here are the preview pages for Issue 34...

So Shadow's done fighting whoever that cloak person was, and he's now hot on the trail of Clutch. As for what Clutch has to do with all this Egg-Tech stuff is still unknown, but we'll probably find out soon.

Next, here are the last preview pages for Issue 2 of Bad Guys...

Picking up where we left off, Starline makes his way to the prison where all of the others just so happen to be...

Starline then uses his... putting people to sleep and mind control powers (I like how he just has these abilities now that probably would've been useful earlier) to help break the others out of their cells, and they work together to get to the prison's control room.

They might have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble, but the best of best boys are still Rough and Tumble :3

...But first, I do want to mention that this opening page right here confirms that there's going to be a convention exclusive cover.

Next, here are thr actual pages...

So Starline's not having an easy time regaining the power he once had with the Warp Topaz, and he concludes that he needs some help to even the playing field between him and Eggman.
