Well, this was a quick and fun project to pencil and color.
Nicole as she appears in issue 221, wearing a a more spunkier outfit, mainly so she could be present at Mina's hurtfull concert without anyone knowing it's her. Through despite her becoming Iron Nicole during the Iron Dominion takeover wasn't her fault, the civilians of New Mobotropolis now fear her, and Mina is just making it worse (And also a certain wizard as well as it appears.)
Sure the civilians think she's nothing but a computer, but they don't know her like Sonic and the gang does. Nicole has become more and more human..err Mobian, and what she hears during the concert will gain her the most human emotion of all.
I personally hope she keeps the outfit. Also I am loving Ben Bates even more than Yardley now.
