4SHUR4W4RE (or M3G4-DR1V3) by Willie is a re-take of Rightburst_Ultra's S0N1C. It's a glitch caused by a virus that took over Sonic's code, causing Sonic to transform into Ashura and then into 4SHUR4W4RE, causing Tails to have to confront him, but unfortunately all in vain.
The Glitch and The Virus[]
4SHUR4W4RE[]
4SHUR4W4RE It really doesn't seem to have emotions, it's probably a silent glitch caused by the virus that now takes over what was once Sonic.
The Virus[]
The Virus is a malicious trojan, seemingly having no reason to have taken control of Sonic's code and turned him into Ashura, most likely doing it for fun.
Appearance[]
4SHUR4W4RE resembles Ashura, with the only difference being the stripe on his shoes being dark and the lack of mouth and pupils, similar to S0n1c.
Its new design remains the same, except for the fact that it now has antennas from a motobug, confirming the presence of malware nearby.
