Sonic Retro wrote:June 23, 1991. 22 years ago today, the world was hit with a concept unlike any other. Sega was gunning for the king’s throne from Nintendo and it had just launched its meal ticket to do just that. Amazed from the cutting edge looks and bright colors not seen meshed together so elegantly before, the world was captivated and a new star was born.
It’s been a rough couple of years for this little bugger, but many can agree that he’s made an amazing rebound in the past few years, like a teenager who pissed away the best years of his life only to realize, “Well, damn, son, I need to get my act together.”
And while we all have different opinions about the character, whether we like his classic stout look or the lankier taller look, we can all agree that without him, these past 22 years would not have been possible at all.
So join us as at the Sonic Retro family of sites raises its glass to one of Sega’s most influential mascots.
Happy 22nd Birthday, Motobug!

Re: 22nd Birthday
"Lankier taller look"? Is that referring to its redesign for Sonic Colors (and I think it also used this new Motobug design for Sonic Generations) or something?
Anyway, happy 22nd birthday, you little ladybug robot!
Good old Motobug.

Re: 22nd Birthday
That would make more sense, in a way, but this topic is about Motobug's birthday. Not Sonic's.
But whatever.

Re: 22nd Birthday
did you read the article
it's one big joke that's hinting about sonic's birthday when they're joking about how it's motobug's birthday but they make it sound like they're announcing sonic's birthday for the joke

Re: 22nd Birthday
Sonic got taller and 'lankier' after he was redesigned during the Adventure series and on ward. The whole thing was a joke about Sonic's birthday.
