Character Analysis: Metal Sonic

 -Decided to throw this together since people got so hype on Metal. 

Background


A copy of Sonic built by imitating his life data. Metal Sonic is generally considered Eggman’s most powerful creation.


Metal Sonic is particularly notable for betraying Eggman and taking over his empire in Sonic Heroes. Following this game he had his intelligence nerfed and was re-coded to be more obedient.


Despite this, Metal Sonic does retain some autonomy. In particular he has a drive to defeat and outperform the “real Sonic”.

Chaos Emeralds

Metal Sonic can siphon chaos energy to power himself up.


They are a set of mystical objects that are said to grant near infinite power through the use of “chaos energy”. They can often be found hidden in alternate pocket dimensions known as special zones, and are said to turn the thoughts of the user into power. Many sources also claim them to be directly correlated to the health of nature itself. Their power can change based on the circumstances they’re used under.


Chaos Control 

The ability to bend time and space or empower oneself with the aid of a chaos emerald. The more chaos emeralds a character has the more enhanced the ability to use chaos control will be.


Teleportation: The main use of chaos control is to teleport either the user and or an object through space. This can work across dimensions or be applied to large objects. Supposedly there is a limit to the range though.

Transformations

A giant version of Metal Sonic powered by the Phantom Ruby. It has energy lasers in its mouth and can lob explosives.

  • Sonic fights Giga Metal Sonic. Phantom Ruby turns Metal Sonic into the giant Giga Sonic. Giga Sonic can fire energy blasts from his mouth and lob projectiles https://youtu.be/6gBRxvBUSlA?t=14

An upgraded version of Metal Sonic main form. It’s permanent unless he takes significant damage. It grants Metal Sonic a host of new abilities on top of his base powers.


Electrokinesis

Metal Sonic can manipulate lightning.


Shapeshifting

Metal Sonic can shapeshift. 


Data copying

Metal Sonic can scan and copy the powers of others. It’s implied they need to be within eyesight and that they at least need to observe the ability that he’s copying.


Most notable copied ability are


Super Neo Metal Sonic

A Super Form gained via chaos energy. It should have invulnerability and increased power like Sonic’s Super form. Super Neo can also project energy as an attack. It’s noted to be unstable due to using only the Master Emerald in IDW, though presumably would be more stable with the full 7 emeralds.  It’s implied in other media to be on par with Super Sonic.


Metal Madness

A large dragon form created by bio data and metal from Eggman’s Egg fleet. It has missile launchers, flamethrowers and can capture opponents in crystal barriers created by spiked projectiles.


Metal Overlord/Master Overlord

A more powerful dragon form with flight abilities. Metal Sonic gained this form after combining his stolen life data from numerous Sonic characters with the Chaos' shapeshifting powers. The form has increased strength, can project energy, fire missiles and can fire spiked projectiles that trap opponents in crystal. In IDW Metal takes on a similar form with the Power of the Master Emerald.
