Released as an exclusive to Sonic 2's digital release (although it may also wind up on home releases), Sonic Drone Home is a short that follows Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they return library books (or sacred tones, as Knuckles calls them) so Maddie won't get late fees. However, Sonic takes the two on a detour to Green Hill Junkyard after hearing news about strange noises going on from Wade, and the three find one of Robotnik's drones using the various junk and scrap to upgrade itself.
It's a neat short, as it has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles fighting a Robotnik drone, and is actually more of a display on how comedic Knuckles can be when it comes to understanding the world he is now a part of. However, one of the main differences is the voice acting, as while Ben Schwartz is back as Sonic's voice, Tails and Knuckles are recast, and while Alicyn Packard does a good job as Tails, Knuckles is voiced in this short by Fred Tatasciore, who while he does a good with the lines (especially the imfamous Knuckle sandwich line), his voice sounds a bit deep compared to Idris Elba's amazing voice (and could possibly confuse younger viewers until they see the credits to see it's not the same VA as the movie), but Fred still does a good job. With a good story, and some witty comedy, this short is worth checking out if you like the Sonic movies.
