Metal Sonic

Metal Sonic (メタルソニック, Metaru Sonikku), is both a fictional character and antagonist from the Super Kingdom Bros.' Sonic series created by Yuji Naka. It is a robotic doppelganger version of Sonic the Hedgehog and undoubtedly the most famous and deadliest creation of Dr. Eggman, having built for the sole purpose of destroying Sonic and been created to match and surpass Sonic's abilities.

Deployed during Eggman's operations on Little Planet, Metal Sonic confronted Sonic in battle and lost, though he would repeatedly return to challenge Sonic and his allies. Modeled with extreme accuracy after Sonic, Metal Sonic not only resembles his template but can also imitate his moves and achieve velocities matching and even exceeding that of Sonic.

While mostly serving as Eggman's obedient enforcer, Metal Sonic is an intelligent machine 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. However, he always fails in the end. To this day, Metal Sonic continues to be one of Sonic's most formidable foes since its inception and has at various points even betrayed and rebelled against Eggman more than once to pursue and achieve its own obsessive goals.

Appearance
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. He has optic sensors with black sclera and red irises.

Current
10 years later, Metal Sonic received a slight update in design which made him taller and gave him a more ellipsoid torso. He also gained more detailed hands, a brilliant blue paint job, joints on his arms and legs, and sharper eyeholes.

Personality
Metal Sonic's single desire is to surpass and defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, and at one point went to incredible lengths to destroy its "loathsome copy" by betraying Eggman and transforming into the monstrous Metal Overlord. After its betrayal, it appears that Eggman placed some form of safeguard on it to ensure that Metal Sonic remains obedient to him. Despite this safeguard, Metal Sonic still retains its single minded desire to surpass Sonic.

Abilities and Powers
Having been created to destroy Sonic, Metal Sonic possesses incredible speed that can match up with the likes of Sonic's, incredible strength that lets him bruise even Sonic with a single punch, and rocket-powered flight. He also has sharp claws that allows him to scratch even the sharpest of metal (such as Eggman's escape pods).

Metal Sonic has an array of weapons and abilities at its disposal that is capable of manifesting energy in different ways, such his defensive Black Shield or offensive Burst Shield. Metal Sonic's ultimate move, however, is the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack. Unlike many of Eggman's other creations, Metal Sonic has also demonstrated the ability to exceed his original design and take on incredible powers.

Neo Metal Sonic

 * Main article: Neo Metal Sonic

When Metal Sonic went rogue under unspecified circumstances, it assumed an upgraded and more advanced form of himself called Neo Metal Sonic while he copied the other teams' data. In this form, he is known to be able to shape-shift/morph his form into silvery metal and take on the appearance of others, most notably Dr. Eggman, has limitless stamina and enhanced durability, and has the ability to fly and shoot lightning bolts from his hands. He is also able to copy the bio-data of others, allowing him to gain other people's abilities and skills.

Super Neo Metal Sonic

 * Main article: Super Neo Metal Sonic

By harnessing the Master Emerald's power for himself, Neo Metal Sonic is able to attain a Super State called Super Neo Metal Sonic. In this state, all of Neo Metal Sonic's abilities far surpass his normal ones. He is also able to project harmful energy blasts and bolts.

Metal Madness

 * Main article: Metal Madness

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 beating him was slim.

Metal Overlord

 * Main article: Metal Overlord

After completing its transformation as Metal Madness, he was able to assume the form of Metal Overlord using the data of Sonic and his allies. In this form, he sprouts wings, thus gaining the power of flight. He also gains the ability to use Chaos Control. In this form, he becomes so powerful that even Super State users cannot harm him directly. His attacks are strong enough to stun Super State users, but not enough to penetrate their invulnerability.

Master Overlord

 * Main article: Master Overlord

With the bio-data of Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog, and the Master Emerald itself, Neo Metal Sonic is able to transform into a giant, dragon-like robot called Master Overlord. In this state, Metal Sonic is even stronger than his Super Neo Metal Sonic state. Some of the abilities he commands include flight, crystal generation, and enhanced strength and durability.

Crystal Sonic

 * Main article: Crystal Sonic

When Metal Sonic has its metal frame transmuted by Crystalmancy, it turns into Crystal Sonic. In this state, Metal Sonic retains several of his abilities, but its new crystal frame renders its programming susceptible to the commands of the Crystalmancy's practitioner.

Color Powers

 * Main article: Color Powers

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.

Weaknesses
Metal Sonic has a few design flaws, as a number of his own techniques can prove detrimental to his internal systems. His Ring Spark Field for example, while having a wide area of effect, uses so much energy that it deceases his mobility. There is also the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack, which fries his circuity from the overloading process and can possibly destroy him if used for too long.

Other Weaknesses

 * Thinks everyone is below him.
 * Metal being designed specifically to take the hedgehog down makes it difficult for him to battle foes who aren’t the blue blur himself or bare similarities to him. While he can still fare well against certain opponents, this weakness still comes back to bite him eventually.
 * Metal Sonic isn’t a perfect A.I., with his coding being preset with every buildup, and thus isn’t capable of improvising on the spot with each fight. Anything too unsimilar to the foes he faces should reasonably mess him up.
 * V. Maximum Overdrive and Ring Spark Field Attacks leaves Metal weakened for a few seconds.
