Sonic Dash for Android Updated with New Character
An exclusive and rather strange addition has been made to Sonic Dash on Android devices today. Two characters, one unlockable, have been added to the roster.
The first is odd in of itself, as the iconic Android robot joins Sonic and company in their endless race for rings, high scores, and prizes. But if you play as the robot 50 times, you’ll get an extra “special” something…
That is Andronic the Droid Hog, a re-skinned version of the robot. We have no words.
You can imagine that iOS users have not received an equivalent tie-in yet, If you’ve updated your game and have unlocked the character, let us know how he plays in the comments.

What a fucking atrocity. I’m cringing so bad that I’m in pain.
Calm down, just relax, it’s meant to be a dumb joke character
They running out of ideas much?
Sadly they are running out of ideas.
Wow….an OC in an official Sonic game.
It has happened…
Every character ever created is an OC.
I don’t know what you’re complaining about.
Ya know, they could have at least have been clever and make it Metal Sonic so it fits being an “android” but this is just as bad as that Sonic Omochao from Lost World, but between the two, I’ll take this over Omochao any day.
All I can say is… DA F**K?!
Original character do not steal 🙂
Oh yea I forgot….Sonic fans have no sense of Humor
No kidding. Everyone here has such a stick in their ass. It’s just a goofy freebie.

It’s kinda hard to with all the bad humor we’ve been getting as of late, so any joke now feels like a dick move. Even then, while I don’t have any problems with this, I do agree with the guy who said they could’ve thrown in Metal Sonic.
Wow, everyone is so negative.
I actually found him cute looking, that’s all.
D’aww, he’s SO cute! >w<
Wasn’t Andronic foreshadowed with that “Coming soon” picture they put out before the launch of the Android version?
Also, I’m sorry everyone feels so strongly about receiving two new playable characters for free. They already gave you Blaze, Silver and Shadow, so I guess next time they should know better and just give everyone straight cash…
Snarkiness aside, I appreciate that they’re still making content for the game, but maybe stick with Sonic characters next time, if only to avoid pissing off the “Fans” who don’t understand the concept of being happy with getting something for nothing….
Some of us don’t care about some repaint of the android mascot, we come to Sonic Dash to play as Sonic and the others, I’d much rather have Metal Sonic since he is an “android”.
Again, you GOT IT FOR FREE. They’re not asking you to use it, they just gave it to you because why-the-frig-not? It’s not your place to complain about it because you didn’t have to pay for it and unless you want the Droidhog, you didn’t have to actually DO anything to get it.
You can argue that Metal Sonic would have been a better choice, but when they’re giving you it for free with no strings attached, doing so shows a lack of respect and gratitude, which is commonplace in the Sonic fandom.
Just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s safe from people complaining on it. If we don’t like it, it, we can critique and state it should have been in there it if we want.
“Again, you GOT IT FOR FREE.”
Oh, the argument people came up with for the dumb shit we got for Lost World. You know, diseases are free to you know. Take that as you will.
@ Heat Seeker0
Let’s not forget this same excuse was used at the same time of the All-Star Racing Transfromed updates that gave us some war generals instead of actual Sega characters.
Yes, because getting extra content for your games for free that you didn’t actually want is as heinous as passing on a disease.
How is it that you guys can be so callous and un-thankful for getting extra stuff for free. Because that’s always a secondary option. These extras aren’t what you want, but it’s still SOMETHING. They could just as easily have just dumped the game out and that was that. Something is always better than nothing, and acting ungrateful about it only makes them not want to produce any more stuff for free.
And yes, you are being ungrateful. Once you start comparing getting something for free to getting a disease, you’ve officially dropped all pretense of being thankful.
“Yes, because getting extra content for your games for free that you didn’t actually want is as heinous as passing on a disease.”
I didn’t say it’s like passing on a diseases, I said simply said that they are free to. Learn to comprehend.
“How is it that you guys can be so callous and un-thankful for getting extra stuff for free. Because that’s always a secondary option. These extras aren’t what you want, but it’s still SOMETHING.”
But that something is insignificant to what the game was made for. Why the hell are we getting War generals and Android bots in these games instead of actual characters we could’ve had in them, and why the hell do you think we’re suppose to just be thankful for getting something for free just because? When I said “Diseases” are also free, it’s the general point that just because something is free, doesn’t mean it’s simply ok or even wanted. I could get a free copy of Mario Galaxy for all I care, but the problem is that I don’t give a shit about Mario, but by your logic, I should just be grateful I have it? Get real son. It’ll be different if say, you buy a copy of Anarchy Reigns and get the DLC code for Beyanetta, she’s at least novelty character given that she was also created by platinum games that comes from a decent beat’em up to be used in an even better one, giving players who actually do like her to whoop more ass with her. THAT’S SOMETHING! The android bot is about as something as being able to play an Xbox game with your avatar, it’s not a problem, but it’s not much of anything either.
@RobotHobo64:
I didn’t know about the war generals thing, and if that’s true, it only goes to show how Sega(Of Japan) just don’t give a shit about giving us actual Sega characters. We already had Wreck-it-Ralph and Danika Patrick.
“The android bot is about as something as being able to play an Xbox game with your avatar, it’s not a problem, but it’s not much of anything either.”
It’s not a problem, yet you treat it like it is. That’s my problem, people are treating this Android add-on like it’s something they spent money on, or as if the very fact that it exists means that their extra-special favorite character is being held hostage because reasons. The android is there for the ANDROID version of the game, that should be reason enough to justify it. And it’s not as if this is the type of game where the character makes a difference. They just gave you an Android skin because they wanted to, don’t toss it back in their face and tell them to make you something different because “Metal Sonic would be better because reasons.”
Of course, I can’t tell anyone what to do and I can’t speak for everyone, but it really irks me when people take free gifts for granted.
In other words, you want a some walking trashcan to replace another walking trashcan.
Now you’re just being an idiot.
Did everyone wake up on the wrong sides of their beds this morning? I mean, why so grouchy? Especially over a minor addition to the roster.
Honestly, if it WERE another Sonic character, you fans would STILL be complaining.
“Honestly, if it WERE another Sonic character, you fans would STILL be complaining.”
*Some of you fans would STILL be complaining.
I mainly use my iPhone for Sonic Dash (although I also have a Shield), but I personally got a chuckle out of this. I think we all need to calm down a little bit and look at this more with a sense of humor; it was probably meant to be a dumb little joke in the first place. To be fair, I DO agree about having Metal Sonic (or even someone like one of the Chaotix) instead.
On the other hand, imagine what we’d get if a similar guest character showed up in the iOS version. “iOSonic the App-Hog”? *shudders*
People really need to calm down o.o
I mean, I really don’t see the big fuss about it. Every characters just play exactly the same anyways.
Pffft, Sonic, why u so fat? XDDDD I think it’s adorable, I wish I could play. XD
That was really easy to win.
This is funny and cute. XD
As RobotHobo said, people have the right to critique whatever they like, regardless of if it’s free or not. Get over it.
Get over it indeed.
I can just smell how condescending this comment is.
Aw, cute. I’d play as that little guy.
Why is everyone being so grumpy about him? I know, it’s because Andronic has green eyes, isn’t it?
I get that you might like this thing but there’s no reason to make an ass of yourself. We’re tired of getting shafted, period.
lol don’t you guys think it’s like an inside joke? I’m very sure they’re conscious of what they’re doing and doing it on purposes.
The way the Droid’s head flaps about makes it look like he’s panic-running during boss sections 😀
Yes this is all amusing for a bit, but the joke gets old pretty fast. Plus I can’t help but feel Hardlight’s time would be better spent on some new missions, bosses and/or environments.
I updated the game as I got up this morning. Weirdly, when I’m connected to Wi-Fi the menu just doesn’t show up after I die, and I get a MASSIVE LAG over time.
About Andronic… I just unlocked him… OMFG HE’S SO CUTE! Android Robot disappears after 50 runs, by the way.
It made me upset that I couldn’t play as the Android anymore. If I knew that was gonna happen, I wouldn’t have bothered to unlock Andronic.
i was laughign at this and sia dit was so stupid..
So when are we going to be able to play as the white apple on the iPhone?
Kinda funny, but this space could have gone too Metal Sonic or Chaotix or other deserving characters. And, yes, I have a good sense of humor, but also I know that anyone has to right to critique this “free” Extra original character XD Sonic fans LOL.
So when will we get Steve Jobs?
LMAO, Tru dat.
The Android logo is stupid, but it gave us the Droidhog which is admittedly hilarious looking, so whatever.
If additional characters actually did SOMETHING different from Sonic, and this free one didn’t do anything different, then I’d probably be raging.
But nobody does anything different from Sonic, which is why I’ll gladly play the 50 races to unlock the hedgedroid. In the end, they’re all just reskins, so it’s not worth my time to complain about this. 😛
It’s actually kind of silly.
The point is that those other characters actually do matter to people, a concept many people don’t seem to grasp. Overall, they could’ve spent their time a money making characters people actually want like Metal Sonic or the chaotix, but we get some joke characters instead, and are expected to be fine with it just because it’s free.
