I like most of these because it would have been seen as a spin-off different Sonic Universe the backlash might have been heavy but it would have been really brave and could have worked
I actually like this one...
It's like Sonic reimagined by Don Bluth.
Those are probably just references based on CG artworkThe only decent one.
Because its a redesign? They were trying to take it in a different direction.
There is redesign and then there is making a completely new character. They were going for the latter.

But Eggman. NO.
No, they weren't. They were going for something radically new, through new eyes, which is something Sonic desperately needs.
Oh, wait... that's supposed to be Eggman? It must be mislabelled. There's no way they were making Eggman a young, confused looking engineer with hair issues.
Reportedly, that's pretty much what the Sega execs said when they first saw those designs.

Decades of going fast has taken its toll on Sonic.I can't stop laughing at this. AO.
I like it too tbhI actually like this one...

Some of the Sonic concepts make me think of the recent Mickey Mouse cartoons.
It's not really bad.

Hey guys we got the rights to make a Sonic game. Lets make him look like anything but Sonic
This is an outstanding redesign. It goes back to the feel of the original but makes it feel brand new at the same time.
This game deserves all the critical panning it gets for not giving me the glory of Owl Lyric.
Just think, he could've join the lineage of jerk Owl bosses in platformers like Sly Cooper's Clockwerk and Tropical Freeze's Skowl, well I've still got Ori and the Blind Forest incoming I guess.
Hang on, why are Owls always the bad guys?
Actually Owl lyric dodged a bullet missing this game, Sonic Team please pick him up.
Meanwhile those main character redesigns are pretty drastic, Eggman is so far removed from the point, still interesting to see the various ideas on display be it good and bad.

I love it. Instead of getting a shitty Sonic design we could have gotten something unique, with actual style. Something resembling those recent modern Mickey Mouse shorts, even.

Typical Disney worship. "Oh this shit looks like something from Disney/Pixar! Looks grand!"
Sonic doesn't need a redesign, and he damn sure doesn't some generic attempt at Disney's appeal. Shit lacks everything that about his character that the past designs had. "Stylish Colorful Edginess." The final design was still horrible due to that lack of taste with all those split hairs and bandages.
