Spoiler Terrible character redesigns

[Dan]

Recently I was watching Sonic Boom on my own in a dark basement eating ice cream. The show has a few funny jokes and can be rather entertaining to watch at times. There was something off about the show however.

Suddenly a bi-radiocurisityative spider crawled on my arm and took a bite, giving me the power to see the obvious. The Sonic Boom redesigns don't sit right with me. I think my nostalgia goggles may be obscuring my views on the new designs. The bandages look like my Aunt Aggie's toilet paper and knuckles proportions look preposterous. I'll give credit though, Sonic's new scarf is super cute!


I don't think the Sonic Boom designs are the worst redesigns in history. So I ask you the forum dweller, what is the worst redesign of a character you have seen?

Ach, you beat me to mentioning Dante.

Please don't tell me that's supposed to be Conker...

That's Conker alright!

Not technically a redesign but I hate Harley Quinn's nurse design in Arkham Asylum. She's so much hotter in City.

Nothing, ever beats this:

We don't speak of this thing in my house!

I'm also not too fond of this either...WHY!?!?

I always loved those "real life" Mega Mans. He just looks so incredibly creepy in them.

Dante was the first thing that came to my mind. Then again lots and LOTS of comic characters are redesigned into something horrible on a daily basis.

ohgodwhy

Megaman is the least of the "What the.." designed on Captain N.
Say hi to Cutman

But nearly everyone that appeared in that show had some weird and often grotesque look to them. Megaman characters were just whatever the hell the artists wanted. There was an episode where they played football against all the Megaman 2 bosses and nothing looked right, or was even at least the correct color. Simon Belmont was just some guy they drew and decided to call Simon for whatever reason. Pit was not even called Pit, they actually called him Kid Icarus every time they spoke to him.
