  Correction - The piko piko hammer first appeared in Sonic the Fighters!<br>And at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLPBd529OUY&amp;t=466">7:46</a> - Just confirming that is issue 78, not issue 58. Slips of the tongue.

  After watching this, I gotta say, I definitely would have preferred this version of Amy, personality-wise. But... I disagree about the cross-bow. I still think the hammer is the better weapon for her. <br><br>To me, Amy’s always been more of a versatile wild card; someone who can be a powerhouse, leader, and supporting character, rather than just being one of the three. Her hammer is a perfect reflection of that since she not only uses it for combat, but she also uses it for mobility with her acrobatic moves, and it’s also hints at her background in the mystical arts since she can create tornadoes with a single swing of it. Basically, I like to think of the Piko Piko Hammer as Amy’s version of Thor’s Mjolnir.

  In one issue she makes a remark about being named &apos;Aim-y&apos; so maybe that&apos;s why they made her a marksman/gave her the crossbow! Always liked fleetway amy though, her obsession with sonic developing into her making fun of him and standing equal to the point Sonic doesn&apos;t always know if she&apos;s being serious about her obsession with him was a great piece of character development.

  even though i wasn&apos;t familiar with fleetway&apos;s sonic growing up, i really like their take on Amy. I think Fleetway&apos;s take on the character does not go completely unnoticed by Sega and IDW seeing how she&apos;s the leader of the resistance against Robotnik now, and they did tone down her crush on Sonic just a tiny bit so she&apos;s not as annoying as she used to be

  I don&apos;t hate Fleetway Amy by any stretch but I don&apos;t really jive with this idea she is some massively better interpretation than the Amy we got in the games. She just comes off as a very different character altogether.

  I&apos;m sorry, but nothing will beat the PikoPiko hammer. I love the idea of Amy, this pink cutesy girl character logging around a giant hammer with the strength of Thor.

  Amy being a leader is probably what lead to idw interpretation of amy where she was a leader for a short while

  I wonder how Sonic fans would react if we got a Sonic game set in the Fleetway continuity

  Sounds fun. &nbsp;The games make her come off as the dorky younger girl mooning over the cool older kid.<br><br>This Amy may be as cool as Sonic but doesn&apos;t obsess over him other than messing with him. &nbsp;Like he&apos;s a crush she got over.
