I WILL BATTLE YOU AS MANY TIMES AS IT IS NECESSARY. ## Personality Metal Sonic (メタルソニック Metaru Sonikku) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an evil, ultra-high performance, very advanced Badnik version of Sonic the Hedgehog that was created as a secret weapon by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of destroying the blue hedgehog. Modeled with extreme accuracy after Sonic, Metal Sonic not only resembles his organic doppelgänger, but can also imitate his moves and achieve speeds matching and even exceeding the hedgehog's own. The brainchild of Eggman, he is by far his greatest creation and one of his "magnum opuses". First deployed during the Little Planet incident, Metal Sonic confronted Sonic in battle and lost, though he would repeatedly return to challenge Sonic and his allies as Eggman's "too-sharp sword". While usually serving as Eggman's obedient and silent enforcer, Metal Sonic is an intelligent robot with a very dark side. A cold-hearted, aggressive, and ruthless killer, he is obsessed with proving his superiority to Sonic and eliminating him for good to the point where he has rebelled against Eggman more than once to achieve his goal. However, he always fails in the end, only to later return more powerful than before. To this day, Metal Sonic remains one of Sonic's most dangerous foes. Metal Sonic was created in the image of Sonic the Hedgehog and is thus mostly built of blue metal. He has a yellow circular depression in his chest with a black center, mirroring the peach skin on Sonic's chest. His head has metal fins resembling Sonic's quills and a pair of triangular "ears." Metal Sonic has a muzzle, shoulder plates, upper arms, legs, and fingers made out of silvery metal. His palms are black, while the backs of his hands are square yellow plates. His forearms and lower legs are blue metal like his head and torso, and he has red feet with white stripes designed to resemble Sonic's shoes. To simulate the hedgehog's eyes, he has monitors with cameras behind them, giving them a red sclera. Despite being built to match Sonic the Hedgehog in all aspects, Metal Sonic is the exact opposite of his organic counterpart in terms of personality. Rather than fun-loving, adventurous, and carefree, Metal Sonic is a cold, dark, aggressive, mysterious and outwardly emotionless machine with a large superiority complex. Early on though, he had a habit of mimicking Sonic's gestures, perhaps in a mocking manner. Notably, Metal Sonic is predominantly mute, typically only making beeping and buzzing noises. Most of the time, Metal Sonic is Dr. Eggman's docile and completely obedient enforcer. In addition to being programmed to serve Eggman, Metal Sonic carries only one goal in mind: destroy Sonic using abilities superior to his. However, Metal Sonic is also an intelligent and calculative machine thanks to an AI chip given to him by Eggman. Efficient and to the point, he is cunning and intelligent, and knows how to manipulate his opponents and take advantage of their weaknesses, but has also displayed somewhat of a sense of honor. Also, in contrast to his emotionless demeanor, he is able to feel emotions and carries a deep capability for vengeance. These traits together have allowed Metal Sonic to fuel his own dark goals of destruction and domination. In battle, Metal Sonic is likewise machine-like in execution and coldly serious. Combined with his muteness, he is a silent killer in every sense of the definition. While facing an opponent, Metal Sonic is very calculative and systematic, as what one might expect of a mechanical intelligence like himself. Analytic in his approach, he takes into account his strength and weaknesses in order to optimize his performances. However, his computerized mind can also be considered a weakness of his, as it makes him inflexible and unable to anticipate the creativity and unpredictability of organic creatures, which causes his thoughts to be temporarily fragmented in such instances. Metal Sonic's most dominating trait and raison d'être is his hatred and obsession with defeating Sonic. Having been programmed for the sole purpose of destroying Sonic using abilities superior to his, Metal Sonic is obsessed with the conviction that he is better than Sonic in every way, which he assumes is logical since he possesses the best performance, a tireless body, and plenty of other factors that should make him unbeatable. He has even taken this logic further with the belief that his body was designed in Sonic's likeness because it was the best design to defeat him with. His greatest desire is therefore to overthrow the real Sonic and defeat him once and for all. However, since he has never been able to defeat Sonic, he finds himself caught in a logical paradox, unable to figure out a way to defeat Sonic despite possessing all the means to achieve this. While he is usually another one of Dr. Eggman's robotic servants, Metal Sonic is also highly sentient for a mechanical being, with his intelligence even being capable of evolving; during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, pushed forward by a strong will and ambition for revenge, his AI chip led to him becoming self-aware, thereby allowing his ego to take control of himself and prompting him to upgrade his body and take control of the Eggman Empire. At this peak of his newly-acquired independence, Metal Sonic showed himself as a ruthless, controlling, arrogant and cunning rogue with no regard for others. His sense of superiority was likewise elevated as he became self-aware, which led him to becoming a megalomaniac and seeing himself as the master of all living things, even transforming himself into a nearly unstoppable dragon-like monster. To this end, he sought to conquer the world and establish a robot kingdom, with him ruling the world as its most supreme being. However, Metal Sonic's superiority complex, combined with his newfound ego, also made him descend into madness, causing him to adopt the twisted belief that he was the real Sonic and that the original Sonic was his "loathsome copy". After Metal Sonic was defeated by Team Sonic though, Eggman turned him back into a docile battle mech. Even so, Metal Sonic's uncanny atmosphere and ability to act independently and upset the plans of his creator for his own desires was still there; during the second World Grand Prix, Metal Sonic disguised himself as Team Dark's E-10000B, even without Dr. Eggman's knowledge, and stole the doctor's data to beat Sonic in Extreme Gear racing. Despite his many defeats and having his beliefs shaken though, Metal Sonic never gives up and will always pursue his goals with relentless determination and take any means necessary to achieve them, no matter how many setbacks he has to go through. Notably, he sees even his defeats as ways to improve himself for his next confrontation, as they provide him with data that he can reanalyze and use to upgrade himself. In the IDW Comics, Metal Sonic acts similar to how he does in the games. He is a silent, ruthless, and cold-hearted killing machine. Incredibly intelligent and self-aware, Metal Sonic at one point evolved to become an independent, rebellious and power-hungry tyrant willing to betray his own creator and seize the Eggman Empire for himself. However, after his defeat he was stripped of his rebellious coding, turning him into a more obedient robot. Nowadays, Metal Sonic is completely devoted to Dr. Eggman and his role of serving the Eggman Empire. After receiving Eggman's bio-data in the form of his genius, visions and ambitions, his loyalty towards his creator and purpose proved to be so great that he chose to step up to lead the Eggman Empire and conquer the world in the doctor's stead and likeness after he went missing to ensure that Eggman's reign remained unbroken. Should the world become his, he would then faithfully hand the empire over to Dr. Eggman. He has also proven to be very grounded in his beliefs: even when in a position of absolute power within the Eggman Empire, Metal Sonic insists that he is only a servant to the Eggman Empire, and that the only one fit to rule it is Eggman himself. Metal Sonic has an unhealthy obsession with his organic template, Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he refers to as his "double" and "loathsome copy". This contradicting belief stems from the fact that Metal Sonic considers himself the "perfected" version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and therefore more worthy of being the "one, true Sonic" than the real Sonic. However, he is deeply aware of some of the features Sonic has that he lacks, such as an organic body. For this reason, Metal Sonic tried to come into contact with the Metal Virus to feel anything, but to no effect, which momentarily stunned him. In comparison to Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic is much more subtle in his tactics. Rather than stepping up to claim responsibility whenever he commits something malicious, Metal Sonic tends to operate in the shadows or in a disguise. He is similarly not one to prattle loudly about his master plans before they are carried out. Metal Sonic also demonstrated a very calm and enduringly patient demeanor during his time ruling the Eggman Empire. This is mainly due to his own arrogance and belief in his supposedly impending victories, as he consider any hiccups in his plans to be temporary failures. He rarely lets his setbacks get to him and he gets no more than mildly annoyed whenever one of his plans does not go as intended. That does not mean he does not possess a temper however, as he has been known to have episodes of angry outburst whenever something unexpected happens. "Observation: Metal Sonic is the only Eggman creation on par with Sonic." — E-123 Omega, Shadow Generations Modeled with extreme accuracy after Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Sonic was made to copy Sonic's every ability and is in no way any slower nor less powerful than his organic counterpart. Being Dr. Eggman's most powerful weapon against Sonic, Metal Sonic is able to go toe-to-toe with his template in both battle and other fields, making him one of Dr. Eggman's most powerful and skilled creations. In fact, he has been credited as the strongest robot invented by Eggman in order to defeat Sonic. Furthermore, he is constantly improving himself, returning from each battle and defeat faster and more powerful than before. Metal Sonic shares Sonic's innate super speed, which he can achieve using a powerful jet engine-based propulsion system. With this system, Metal Sonic is able to outclass Sonic's acceleration, who can instantly accelerate to the speed of sound, and equal Sonic's speed; on a few occasions, Metal Sonic has even been able to surpass the maximum speed of Sonic, whose highest known top speed is infinite. Even then, Metal Sonic can take his speed even further. By overloading his circuits, Metal Sonic is able to quadruple his speed for a limited time. Using certain techniques, he can even achieve time travel just with his sheer speed. In addition, Metal Sonic also has Sonic's astounding kineticism, precision and reaction time to match his speed. He has profound acrobatic skills and agility, along with enhanced reflexes that let him avoid any incoming obstacles with precise and delicate movements. Metal Sonic has both impressive durability and physical strength. His frame consists of monocoque titanium that makes him highly resistant to damage, and he has enough strength to tear his own frame apart by hand. In addition, Metal Sonic comes equipped with several extra abilities due to his mechanoid form. These include a plasma pulse laser that he can fire from the intake on his stomach, telescopically extendable limbs, the ability to generate a seemingly impenetrable force-field, and sufficiently sharp claws. Metal Sonic can even channel internal radioactive force within him to produce powerful energy surges, and, when accelerating to maximum speed, surround himself in an energy field that lets him penetrate any substance caught in his path. Plus, by utilizing his jet engine, Metal Sonic can achieve high-speed flight in any environment; even in a damaged state, he was once capable of interplanetary travel from Little Planet to earth in a few seconds. Metal Sonic's arguably most impressive skill is his ability to replicate the abilities and skills of others. By scanning and copying another being's life data, be it either robots or organic creatures, Metal Sonic can immediately and flawlessly mimic other people's skills and abilities, such as chaos powers, ESP, super strength, invisibility, etc. This makes Metal Sonic's skillset near-indefinite. Once, Metal Sonic also demonstrated the ability to shape-shift. As a result, he can cause himself to look and sound like an exact duplicate of any lifeform or robot, wearing virtually any kind of clothing, such as when he posed as Sonic when he kidnapped Froggy and Chocola. Being a robotic clone of Sonic, Metal Sonic can imitate several of Sonic's signature techniques. The most prominent of these include Sonic's core offensive maneuver: the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at his targets. With it, Metal Sonic can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Highly adept in Sonic's usage of this technique, Metal Sonic can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, Homing Attack, and Light Speed Attack. Also, due to being modeled after Sonic, Metal Sonic has the ability to accurately predict Sonic's lightning-fast moves. As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Metal Sonic also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in race cars like the Formula M. During the second part of the Death Egg mk.II incident, he was also able to control the Metal Carrier with no difficulty. Metal Sonic also comes equipped with a Chaos Emerald radar, which he can view both externally through projectable holograms or internally. He can also harness Chaos Emerald energy to empower himself. By using all seven Chaos Emeralds, he obtains an extreme power up that grants him a golden aura and yellow eyes. This power-up gives him greatly increased strength and speed, enough to match the combined forces of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty and Ray. This could technically be his incomplete super transformation, which could have reached greater heights if given time, like Super Sonic 2. Described as Dr. Eggman's finest creation, Metal Sonic is an exceptionally powerful robot capable of going toe-to-toe with Sonic the Hedgehog, if not surpass him on certain occations. Metal Sonic shares Sonic's super speed, which he can achieve using a powerful turbine-based propulsion system. Plus, by utilizing his turbine, Metal Sonic can achieve high-speed flight in any environment. He also comes equipped with sufficiently sharp claws and articulated joints, allowing him to rotate his torso 360 degrees around. He also possesses incredible strength; he is strong enough to carry at least one person around while in flight, and he is strong enough to break metal chains with ease, even in a weakened state. Metal Sonic also has an external defense system called the Black Shield. With it, he can surround himself with a black force-field that can block incoming physical attacks. By harnessing the energy of a Dark Ring, Metal Sonic can transform into Metal Sonic Kai. In this state, he is much larger and his body turns red. While most of his abilities are unknown, it is known that he is able to perform a much stronger version of the Plasma Pulse Attack from his chest. By using the Phantom Ruby, Metal Sonic is able to become Giga Metal. In this form, he transforms into a huge, mechanical monster of enormous size. As Giga Metal, he possesses greater strength and is capable of deploying time bombs and emitting a large laser from his mouth. Other than that, Metal Sonic's speed is slightly reduced in this state, even though he can still catch up with Sonic. His weak point, however, is the Phantom Ruby stored in his chest; should the ruby be removed from its compartment, Metal Sonic will return to his original form, taking severe damage in the process. Metal Sonic assumed the form of Neo Metal Sonic for the majority of Sonic Heroes while he copied the four teams' data. Many of Neo Metal Sonic's abilities remain unknown, he is known to be able to shapeshift and has the ability to shoot lightning bolts from his hands and fly. His stats should be greatly higher in this form. Using the data from Team Sonic, Team Rose, Team Dark, Team Chaotix and Chaos, and as well as parts of Eggman's other machines, Neo Metal Sonic can transform himself into a super powerful version of himself called Metal Madness. In this form, Metal Sonic possesses a flamethrower, missile launchers, a whip-like tail with spikes, and claws that can shoot spikes and crystals. In this state, he is so powerful that even with the seven Chaos Emeralds, the chances of defeating him were slim. After completing his transformation as Metal Madness, Metal Sonic became Metal Overlord. In this form, he sprouts wings, thus gaining the power of flight. He also gains the ability to use Chaos Control. In this form, Metal Sonic becomes so powerful that it requires three Super State users to face him and normal attacks from three cannot harm him. The only attack strong enough to damage him is the combined power of the team blast. In a stand-off against Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna inside his newly-built fortification around the Master Emerald's shrine on Angel Island, Neo Metal Sonic assumed the new form of Super Neo Metal Sonic by absorbing the power of the Master Emerald before challenging the two heroes. In this form, he gain the powers of super speed, enhanced strength and can fire golden bolts of energy. After Metal Sonic copied the bio-data of Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog, he absorbed the energy from the Master Emerald and transformed into this form. In this form, Metal gains the abilities of super strength, super speed and being able to fire massive crystal projectiles. By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Metal Sonic can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser, or even an asteroid, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Metal Sonic has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill, and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained. In case the Wisp will not cooperate with him, Metal Sonic can have a Wisp Capsule installed into him that lets him forcefully extract Hyper-go-on from Wisps until they turn into Nega-Wisps. Main CPU: LIPS AI Eggman Custom Chip. Located in the head, this processor contains three output links. The internal CPU contains a system that is capable of executing mathematically logical enactment and a simultaneous analog neuro-connection between all components. In short, this allows Metal Sonic to react very quickly to certain situations. Sub CPU: Neo Super DFX Chip, containing a five-link system connecting to all major body components governs the power control system. A Next Risk Chip Series III, with eight basic loading ports in each eye unit, utilizes RGB imaging in the optical area. Frame: Monocoque titanium. Color coating: Reinforced blue metal tektite. Main engine: 250cc, 4-valve Orgone Fusion Engine. Secondary engine: Tesla Power Coil which produces electricity through electromagnetic induction.
