a suggestion by   chaoscroc with him and Nicole acting as generals of their own soldiers or teams and i'm rather happy with the result. on Choas Croc's team we have Regina the Iron Empress and Fiona Fox (both mind controlled) and Mecha Tikal the Echidna and Mecha Mina the Mongoose.

on Iron Nicole's team we have her own brainwashed and controlled subjects, Bunny "Rabbot" D'coolette, Rouge the Bat, Princess Sally Acorn, and Amy Rose
