"I have been chosen to bring Sonic Underground back on TV and have dedicated my life to making that vision into a reality."
Tamers12345 is a youtuber with a rather small, but loyal following.
He joined youtube in 2011 with his earliest videos being mostly AMV's about the tv show, Sonic Underground. Eventually, he stopped making AMV's and moved on to create a hand-drawn webseries, which shows the daily lives of Sonic the Hedgehog, his boyfriend bartleby Montclair of Dresdin, his siblings, Sonia and Manic, as well as their friends and enemies, after the show was cancelled. He claims to be making it because he knows Sega won't ever take the time to do it and since he's the only Sonic Underground fan left, it's his job to do it. He also hopes that, despite its adult nature, Sega will someday call him and ask him to make an official continuation of Sonic Underground.
Despite having a relatively small following, he's actually quite well known in the Sonic the Hedgehog community due to his unique fascination with Sonic Underground, Sonic's butt, his favorite Sonic ship, Sonic x Bartleby(Bardonic), and how funny his videos are. Though, he claims that his video aren't made to be laughed at and that they are meant to be taken seriously.
Despite because a fanmade sequel to a children's show, Tamers12345's webseries is darker, with its heavy amounts of sex, drugs and abuse.
Tamers12345 has never shown his actual face on camera as he instead wears a cardboard box in the likeness of the character Bartleby Montclair of Dresdin.

List of tropes:
- Abusive Parents: Uncle Chuck and Queen Aleena have an abusive father named Kevin the Hedgehog. Bartleby also had an abusive father who tried to poison/kill him.
- Adaptational Sexuality: While Sonic the Hedgehog and Bartleby are both straight characters in Sonic Underground, they're both gay in Tamers12345's version of the series. This also applies with Dingo who is now in love with Sleet.
- The Alcoholic: Uncle Chuck, who, curiously enough, seems to enjoy getting absolutely trashed solely off of LIGHT beer.
- All Gays Are Pedophiles: In the Sonic Underground Christmas Tree Special a Christian father seemingly falls in love with his son who just came out as gay. He licks his lips when his son winks at him seductively. In the same video, a male police officer flirts with Manic(14y/o) and gets happy when Manic farts in his face.
- Also, seeing how the main focus of the series is a healthy (by the standards of the Tamersverse anyway,) gay relationship, happily subverted.
- All Men Are Perverts: Many villains, and even some heroes, in Tamers12345's webseries are rapists or attempted rapists. In Sonic Underground The Movie - Memorial Day at Burger King the doodlebops are even caught driving their bus around town and abducting children.
- All Love Is Unrequited: Knuckles has a crush on Sonia, Dingo has a rush on Sleet, and Sonic's school teacher has a crush on Bartleby.
- Ambiguously Gay: Sleet and Dingo seem to be the stereotypical ambiguously gay duo. Dingo is very open about his feelings for Sleet, often times flirting with the other, while Sleet's sexuality is more ambiguous. Though, he does think Sonic and Bartleby are a cute couple. Uncle Chuck also fits this mold as he claims to be ladies man but has a naked man as his phone wallpaper.
- Animated Music Video: Tamers12345 has many animated music videos on his channel.
- Anime Hair: Queen Aleena has purple hair, Sonia has pink hair, and Sleet has the stereotypical spiky blue anime hair
- Anti-Role Model: Just about every single character.
- Asspull: In Sonic The Hedgehog: Fall of The Sun, Our Darkest Moment the sun is falling out of the sky. To combat this, Sonic and Bartleby have rough enough sex to create shockwaves, knocking the sun back into orbit. Sonic and Bartleby's love for each other is also said to be so powerful that they have the power to destroy the earth just by standing next to each other
- Ate It All: In Sonic Underground the Movie - Sonic finds his Father Sonic, Manic, and Sonia share a bowl of chili. After Manic and Sonia have a single bite, Sonic takes the rest for himself.
- Attempted Rape: In Sonic Underground The Movie - Memorial Day at Burger King the doodlebops are caught driving their bus around town and abducting children. They also try to rape bus driver Bob but are stopped by the Sonic Underground
- A Twinkle in the Sky: There's a twinkle Bardonic - Starry Night
-
Awesome Ego: Manic constantly talks about how "cool" and "badass" he is. The others tend to agree with him on this. - Balloon Belly: Sonic's body is a complete Circle and Tamers12345 says that this is because he eats so much Chili Dogs.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Sonia and Knuckles have feelings for each other, which is obvious to everyone else around them.
- Big, Screwed-Up Family: Uncle Chuck is a physically violent sexual predator who has gone so far as to attempt to murder his own niece only because she slightly irritated him, Aleena is a physically and emotionally abusive Mother who blatantly plays favorites, Manic is a borderline narcissist who is physically abusive to his girlfriend Mindy, Sonic is ridiculously selfish despite displaying himself to feel little to no self-worth, and Sonia is extremely immature and narcissistic.
- Black Comedy: The videos feature this in spades, which often makes light of serious subjects such as domestic violence, rape, murder, and incest.
- Breakthe Haughty: Bartleby. While extremely confident, any comment even slightly negative about him (or his love, Sonic, for that matter) makes him lash out and react extremely violently, such as the time he commits a literal terrorist attack on a plane because it had a brown stain on it.
- Brother–Sister Incest: Uncle Chuck frequently tries (and comically fails) to sleep with Aleena, who is his blood sister.
- Calling the Old Man Out: At one point Sonic, Sonia, and Manic call out Queen Aleena for not telling them about their dad, which leads to a huge argument.
- Calling Your Bathroom Breaks: This happens all the time. The Sonic Underground characters have no shame in saying when they need to take a #2.
- Censored Child Death: In the video, 'Sonic the Hedgehog - Great Cereal Crisis' Bartleby shoots a child with a gun, off screen. Censorship doesn't happen that often in his later videos, even in scenes that do involve children.
- Chekhov's Gun: In a Halloween special, Knuckles knocks over a handicapped child's wheelchair to steal his trick-or-treat candy—only for this same child to return in another video years later as a major plot point.
- Christmas Episode: Tamers12345 has multiple Christmas specials on his channel.
- Comedic Underwear Exposure: At one point Robotnik shows up to Dingo's birthday party in his underwear
- Comedic Sociopathy: Every character, save for MAYBE Mindy and Sonic, is extremely callous, uncaring, and borderline evil.
- Flora Latour is (so far) the only character in the universe who harbors no sociopathic traits whatsoever.
- The Corrupter: Anyone who has the misfortune of interacting with the Sonic Underground is left mentally scarred, sometimes to the point of lunacy.
- Cringe Comedy: Arguably all of his videos, though some insist that the humor is legitimately too complex for someone who's being sincere. Poe's Law is very much in effect with this.
- Damsel in Distress: At one point, Jared's father is kidnapped by the boys and Jared has to save him.
- Death of a Child: Happens quite often, and it' usually Bartleby that does it.
- Deconstructive Parody: Of the notoriously embarrassing Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase... Maybe.
- Geek: Sid the Science kid. The only time we see him is when he is in the middle of studying.
- Halloween Episode: Tamers12345 has multiple Halloween specials on his channel.
