Yeah, it's more SATAM (aside from Robotnik being personally involved). Archie had a lot of the show's elements in the early days though, albeit in a more comedic fashion.
Forgot to mention, but the SATAM elements were more in the design docs. The footage we have doesn't seem to have gotten beyond the general concepts/mockups.
