While missing most of his attire such as his gold chain, Vector was already wearing his pair of headphones, which later returned as his trademark accessory.Ī later revision of the band artwork stepped away from Vector's bulky build and made him lankier, shortened his neck, and also reworked his head, eyes and snout, looking closer to following interpretations of the character. He also wore shoes identical to Sonic's, just like every other member of the band. Furthermore, Vector's belly, neck and the underneath of his tail were gray rather than light green. The scales seen on his back and tail lacked their red color, and despite his taller and sturdier build, his hands and feet were smaller than in later designs. In the early development of the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Vector looked quite different compared to his later designs and was more resembling an ordinary crocodile.

In terms of game appearances, Vector is thus among the oldest characters of the series alongside Flicky, Eggman and Sonic himself. Many early concept sketches featured in the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis Collected Works art book show Vector and the other band members having a more prominent role in the game, appearing even on the Sega screen and in the game's ending. Vector was going to be the keyboard player of Sonic's band. The Sonic the Hedgehog Band was created to be part of the early idealized Sound Test, which was eventually dropped from the final version of the game due to time constraints. Vector was initially going to appear as one of the members of the Sonic the Hedgehog Band during the early development of the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
