Spoilers ahead
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed‘s street date has already broken, and the secrets of the game are getting splashed all over. Something most people wanted to know is who or what is the final unlockable character, since Sumo hasn’t revealed who it is.
Many rumors have discussed who this character might be. But now, thanks to Spanish site Sonic Paradise, we know for sure.
One of their trustworthy sources has gotten hold of a copy of the Xbox 360 version of the game and has ripped lots of info from its files. From there, we can now see lots of file names that tell us those well-hidden secrets.
As for the final unlockable character, it has been referred to by Sumo Digital as the “biggest piece of fanservice ever.” You may have thought it was Segata Sanshiro according to that description. It is not, even though that man is in fact in the game, but only as a cameo. In fact, the final unlockable character is not a person. It’s a robot, or better said… a SegaBot. Yes, Segabot is the final unlockable in the game. And you might be thinking… what is SegaBot, anyway?
Well, we don’t really know for sure. But we do know that linked to it are file names of 3D models and textures from several Sega legacy characters and items, like the Hornet from Daytona U.S.A, the jet from Afterburner (what could be the plane mode), or even a Dreamcast’s VMU.
So from what we have got, we can assume this SegaBot is a robot of sorts made up of several Sega items, who can transform into several famous Sega vehicles, like a “megazord” of sorts. It also looks like it uses or can transform into some sort of missile or machine gun.
As previously stated, we don’t have any pictures or video of this character, just file names that hint at what it could be, but we can be sure this SegaBot is very much in the game. There won’t be much time until someone unlocks it in the game, and we will show you this mysterious character as soon as that happens, as well as any additional information as we receive it.

What I wanna know is all this talk of Team Fortress characters in the game
I’m guessing its going to be composed of Sega consoles. Anyone remember that boss from Sonic Adventure? Its name was “zeta” and it was a purple robot made of Dreamcasts.
who the fuck is that? lol
…Segabot…? ……Segabot…? …what the hell…
He better look cool as hell, because this “Segabot” thing came right the fuck out of left field.
But Segata…
Sumo Digital, you’ve completely obliterated the opportunity of making Segata Sanshiro (who’s more fitting as the “biggest piece of fan-service ever” than a “Segabot”) a playable character.
Never in my life have I heard of a “Segabot.” Whatever that thing is, it better live to its promise.
It’s really lame if they went through all the legal trouble to put Segata in the game just for a brief cameo, someone better mod him over Segabot (whatever the hell that is). If I hear he was removed him being playable at the last second because of d-bags at marketing throwing a fit then……..
Looks like the Sega dude at Armageddon that told me about the character that could turn into a flying Sega console was bang on the money. Pity it wasn’t Segata tho, i got my hopes up too
When I read “Sega Robot” my first thought was Sega-Chan. Could it possibly be that?
Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers G-A-L-O-R-E. It is here for us to see so if you could please just pass your mouse ever so slightly over the text in this linked thread and highlight the text of what you want to see. Warning: It may send you into a swirling sense of misery or land you in fan heaven. My opinion: Go get the game NOW! ( http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=499732 )

What an atrocious roster.
@Skai Cyan: What can I say? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I must feel more like Oscar the Grouch than ever before.
@Hifihedgehog
This would be good if this were the first game. As the second it’s horrible. There’s a lot of pointless cloning going on as well as the stupidity of two of the on-disc unfinished “characters” (you can guess who I mean). On top of that they outright dropped a lot of star appeal from the last game. I’m still getting this game (I already have it paid off, I may as well), but this is as disappointing as the MK7 roster. (Go die Shyguy, Honey Queen, Wiggler, and Metal Mario.) The only good points are Nights, Vyse, and Joe Musashi.
