After the end of RBR Sonic no longer had any need to conceal his presence and Bob Beaky was discarded as redundant. However, after he was framed as a villain by Neo Metallix and Grimer, Sonic took up the identity once more to avoid attracting attention to himself (although given the depressing circumstances he lacked the ability to keep up Bob's chirpy demeanour anymore). His cover is no longer perfect - Sonic dropped his disguise in front of a bystander when he had to protect Mobians from a Badnik attack during The Battle For Mobius, although he had previously done so at an awards ceremony and in the middle of the Emerald Hill Zone. Unfortunately, as of recently, Sonic's cover as Bob Beaky has been completely exposed.
