You and I Bee-come One is episode 47 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 14 October 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
Off to a Villain Retreat, Eggman leaves a parting gift: his Bee Bots are networked to attack Team Sonic on sight, and Orbot and Cubot lack the clearance to call them off. The team traps most of the swarm in a cave, but one stray gets away, straight into the chamber of Tails’ new Matter Transporter during its first test.
Out steps a bee-fox cyborg. Reversing the process fails messily, but Tails’ new wings help rescue avalanche victims on the set of Tommy Thunder’s latest movie, and he starts enjoying the buzz. Then come the nightmares and the voices urging him to “join the hive”. Linked to the network, he frees the captured swarm and makes himself their leader.
Fighting back is no good, because Tails feels every Bee Bot that gets smashed, so Sonic fetches Eggman from his retreat. The doctor fixes the transporter, has Sonic lure Tails home dressed as a giant sunflower, and explains that smashing enough bees will weaken the link until Tails passes out. It works, the machine separates fox and bot, and Eggman admits the sunflower suit was only to humiliate Sonic. The team’s lesson: don’t turn into a bee.
