I like how Chaos Sonic is characterized as annoying and over the top. I mean, it’s literally in the name “Chaos Sonic.” Even to the point of annoying Sonic himself. Chaos Sonic is essentially giving Sonic a taste of his own medicine.

Chaos Sonic is a concept that's long overdue: A Sonic robot that behaves the way *Eggman perceives* Sonic. Chaos Sonic is annoying because Eggman/the Chaos Council finds Sonic annoying. From the way they talk about him, they pretty much looked at his behavior and went "Nailed it. Best creation yet".

[@monke7919]

It's like they looked at sonics personality overly exaggerated it to the point of being anoying mixed in a bit of how they see him to make a mockery out of him then put that personality into the body of a metal sonic who's just as fast as sonic and stronger due to his futuristic metal body and when I first heard nine mention they would never beat sonic cuz they don't think like him I was certain that ment we'd finnaly see sonic primes take on metal sonic and I was pleasantly surprised to discover instead of making just another metal or mecha sonic they tried a new approach when designing chaos sonic

[@monke7919]

And he's the closest recreation (I know of) for sonics power, among the other "false sonics" shadow uses hover shoes and all the robots have other methods like metal hovering with a back thruster and mecha sonic mark 1 probably using some combination of engine and fuel? (My headcannon is he uses the same rocket fuel as metal sonic)

[@dmk_yt]

I really liked the idea of a Sonic robot that actually copied his sensibilities. Eggman never really tried to do that, since he was always much more focused on matching Sonic's speed and strength; but I think Chaos Sonic showed that a lot of Sonic's successes are the result of both his unpredictable style and over-the-top attitude.

[@Spannondorf]

Yeah, the mainline games have done "evil Sonics" before, but never in the personality department. I'd love another wisecracking kind of villain to match Sonic's energy, rather than going in the dark, brooding, and ruthless direction of the other Sonic copies

[@lizzybunny5436]

I think I can guess why, he did not do that XD. He would get so annoyed with Metal Sonic or any creation if he had to hear them talk constantly. Chaos Sonic I feel will just get under his skin. Last thing he wants after dealing with sonic (not saying sonic talks to much) is to have another robot talk none stop. Especially Chaos Sonic.😆 Would be hilarious to say the least, if Eggman actually does try that route. Would love to see his reaction.🤣

Not really. I'mkind of tired of the "Main character but he's BETTER" trope.Personally I just found him annoying, we will see if he comes bck and is worth anything but Ipersonally found the egg troopers eggman made super using the prism to be of more consequence than metal sonic. It also really lessens the energy of metal when eggman literally just MAKESabetter sonic with the press of a button. It renders their entire relationship moot and makes you really see how absolutely exhausted the formula is. Not to mention it really says something about sonics friends when he needed two knuckles AND Rouge on top of himself just to beat one metal sonic. It's probably because I'm a knuckles fan but that REALLY annoyed me. You go out of your way to make knuckleslook AMAZING in the movies and then he's just right back to being the punching bag who can't evenland a hit on a sonic look alike?

Personally I am a massive fan of annoying characters, so I genuinely did not mind how irritating he was. He’s adorable, silly, and has his cool moments. Though I agree, seeing him lean into the “cruel” side would be very appreciated, I definitely missed his intimidation factor. Like, the reveal would have hit a little better with me if it had had a moment for Chaos Sonic to stand there in the smoke, standing there ominously to let it set in. Regardless I really want to see him again, the screen face has me hooked.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

I can't wait to hear you talk about Shadow. This is the best he's been in decades. I really want to see more of Ian Hanlin as Shadow; if he could voice the dark hedgehog in movie 3 I'd die a happy woman. His voice for Shads was immaculate. And his personality was back to snuff too-he isn't vindictive or petty, but he certainly doesn't play psychiatrist. He shows Sonic the consequences of his actions not to be callous and cold but to get him to finally listen and understand the severity of the situation. Shadow took the tech from Sonic not out of being petty but because he lost his faith and trust in Sonic-he truly didn't believe the Blue Blur would have it in him to fix this. He fought Sonic in the finale of s1 and the premiere of s2 not just because but out of sheer rage and pain and anger, all of which was fully justified. But he was willing to put his own emotions aside to work with someone he didn't really have high regards for. This is a character who under Sega Mandates suffered in recent years. And the fact that Shadow was the one to suggest working together shows me that Sega is willing to let the writers breathe when it comes to these characters. And I can't express enough how much I love seeing Shadow be a _character_ again.

[@alexandergonyea4642]

I do like how Chaos Sonic was characterized in this show. With the whole arc Sonic is meant to go through being about redemption and self-reflection, Chaos Sonic essentially being a more flanderized version of himself perfectly meshes with that, showing Sonic how he is at his worst, to better fit with his character growth. And it matches further with the fact that he was only able to beat him by working with his friends, showing Sonic that he has to rely on them and not believe that he can do everything solo - which also gave me vibes of the Spectre Robot from the Sonic X comic, albeit without as explicit a message regarding teamwork. On the whole thing about Sonic Prime being in the game canon, yeah I'm sorry, but I will never believe that. I thought from day 1 that it was a stupid idea, and this only cements it. It's not just that Sonic never compared Chaos Sonic to Metal Sonic, but the fact that the mere notion of a sonic robot in general was a new concept to him, even though as indicated, he should've already met Metal at least once, and several variations of the Mecha Sonic line.

[@amagicalbeing7427]

Except that prime sonic already is a flanderized version of sonic but your point still stands I just dont like sonic prime

[@irkendragon]

yup, you can call something canon to please people, but to actually be canon and demonstrate it that has to show up in the writing. There has to be some sense that the writers are aware of what these characters have done and where they've been before. Largely this show feels like it exists in its own universe.

One thing that I want to point out is the fact that chaos sonic is a really good fighter. He doesn’t have any special powers or abilities, but he makes up for that in his combative skills. I’m pretty sure that if he was upgraded with the long ranged weapons and given the ability to fly, he’d how much more dangerous threat, especially since the only thing that can take them down are magical rocks. Something that I should also point out is that because chaos sonic was created by the Paradox prism, that technically means that he isn’t under the control of the chaos council since they didn’t code him. Part of me hopes that he becomes good but also because his own character.

Chaos Sonic’s like Deadpool; cool to some people, annoying to others. That’s just the nature of hyper-manic, eccentric characters. I feel like children and adolescents/adults with ADHD get the most out of characters like these, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If anything, considering the target audience for Sonic is around 6-11 year olds, I’m willing to argue that the characterization of Chaos Sonic fits with the current brand identity Sega’s going for.

Talking about where this actually fits in canon (as it’s been stated it is), I could honestly see them doing a complete Sonic reset at the end of the series where they paradox prism is combined and we end with a BRAND NEW universe: the Video Game universe.

And with Sonic’s interactions happening more and more will his actions result in Rusty possibly learning a feasible painful truth about her past if she stays the course?

[@mechamadness]

I think the main reason that Chaos Sonic was so much of a trouble for Sonic (more so than Metal ever has been) is because of his personality. He's less robotic, more sentient. He's got creativity. He can come up with new techniques on the spot. Also his constant chatter is almost a weapon itself. Annoying Sonic and distracting him. Both of which are things that Metal can't do. Metal is predictable. Metal is silent. Sonic typically knows what skills and moves Metal can perform, mostly because Metal was only built to match Sonic In physical power. Chaos Sonic has the mental power added to have the same creativity that Sonic does. He can come up with new skills to use his speed for. Also Sonic never has to worry about Metal talking back, meaning he can entirely focus on Metal's moves. Chaos can speak, and uses it to his advantage.

[@whichcache2517]

I think Chaos Sonic is an interesting concept. I remember someone (might've been you, might've been a commenter) that described Mecha Sonic as an "imperfect Sonic". Eggman's attempt at creating a Sonic that could rival him in speed, but has no soul. Hence why he doesn't speak (mostly) or have a mouth. Chaos Sonic, on the other hand, is a mockery of Sonic. In a good way. He represents all of Sonic's flaws, taken to the extreme. His very presence is a reminder of his faults and mistakes, and he can't be stopped unless Sonic relies on the people around him. Which, as it turns out, seems to be the moral of the show if the S2 finale is any indication. Overall, a pretty cool character, and yes I was thinking of Shard from the Archie Comics (before he was Shard) when I saw him too.

[@thatfriendwhosesanityyouquesti]

I like how Chaos Sonic was established almost immediately that “hey, this isn’t the same Metal Sonic you know”. His very first line displayed him as different and new character, in more than just physical appearance. And yes, I agree that a Metal Sonic doesn’t seem to already exist in this depiction, further differentiating Prime from other canons. Particularly since Sonic said something along the lines of “A robot me?!” Makes me wondering if, after Sonic fixes their universe, Eggman will remember Chaos Sonic and try to build him again, officially adding a ‘Metal Sonic’ to this canon

He isn't just a robotic double of Sonic, but has a personality based on how the Chaos Council see Sonic is such a fun idea, and the only flaw to it is his lack of screen time. I really hope this new robo gets more love in the future, wether in the show, games, etc. I hate the name, though. Not because it sucks, or anything. But because whenever I try to search him up for the fanart, it leads to either the character Chaos, or the game Sonic Chaos.

Chaos sonic:gets blown up. Grim sonic:"i always come back"

[@davidmoore7733]

Metal sonic not being mentioned could work with the odd multiple canons thing mentioned roughly when mania and forces were released. The new modern timeline could begin with Sonic meeting and defeating eggman in some unseen story and then adventure 1 & 2 occur, which would explain why characters like the chaotix are excluded from the show, but Big Shadow and Rouge are included. Sonic prime could then occur and with Sonic Heroes coming soon after it, so instead of heroes being Metal's return to the story it could be Metal's introduction into the canon of the modern sonic. And an explanation to metal being in Eggman's Sonic Adventure 1 base is that he was a prototype that escape containment and started the plot of Sonic Heroes.

[@StarDigian]

Maybe it's just me, but I found when voicing Sonic and Chaos Sonic, it seems like Deven Mack was channeling Roger Craig Smith for Sonic and Jaleel White for Chaos Sonic.

[@GoreHusbando]

Truly, Deven Mack is the Sonic of many vibes! I catch a few Drummond and Griffith vibes every once in a while on top of Smith.

[@omega_blue5009]

I’d say he’s pretty great even if his face is a little wonky

[@kingsombra4053]

A thing I like about this is the way Eggman got the idea for Chaos Sonic was Tails pointing out he doesn't know how to think like Sonic. So Chaos Sonic's personality is how Eggman sees Sonic, which is pretty funny.

[@retromary_vt]

I am a big fan of Chaos Sonic. He's not particularly funny, but I feel it's a very unique take on the "Metal Doppelganger" trope Sonic has created and was really fun to watch. Especially with Knux and Dread fighting as well as Sonic and Rouge. Chaos really is the type to say "Wow; 4 on 1...really bad odds for you"

[@Electrostatic_Fusion]

Im not really sure if this would fit, but i would love to see Jet or Silver in this series

[@elmemearana]

Like every person, I do loved Chaos Sonic. He's annoying and talkative like the blue hedgehog is in this show but more skilled and fighter than Metal, which turns him into a jokey opponent with a warning sign on his tube screen lol

[@Multi-fandomEldingArum]

I love Chaos Sonic, but not because he reminded me of any other sonic robot, but he reminded me of something else… You see, a KZbinr named The Rollin Nolan made an abridged version of the Sonic OVA, and in that abridged video, Metal Sonic talked, and he was probably my favorite part of that video. So when Chaos Sonic started talking, it immediately made me think of that. I know people may find him annoying, and that may be the point, but I love Chaos Sonic, and enjoyed his time while he was there.

[@GrayvyFellow]

Honestly I loved seeing Chaos Sonic in motion throughout his entire episode. I get his annoying positon does show a weakness in how Prime doesn't really hit it with jokes or smack talk but really it was an absolute treat to see how hard they were willing to go with it. In a weird sense also I kind of got a bit of Neo from RWBY... Knowing that character is like the exact polar opposite in terms of speaking... Among other things. If they do bring him back it is more than likely the chaos council rebuilds him and more fights ensue but the idea you seeded of Chaos Sonic coming back as an analogue for Shard is something I wish you never got my hopes up for but I am very much in agreement I'd love for them to bring back that character even by indirect means. Good gravy I'm trying to think how you combine Shard's palette and design with Chaos Sonic's with the LED.

[@bearberserker]

I like how he was able to speak and showed a personality that acts as a foil to Sonic though he was annoying. 😅

[@angrybrony]

i do hope he comes back in some form after the show. it'd be great seeing interact more with the eggsib bot and eggman himself.

[@manwhodoesthings]

God, I love the fact that Sonic thr Abridgehog is essentially canon now.

[@NekoTamer15]

I knew some people may hate him but I love Chaos Sonic! His sassy insults are not half bad and his power backs up is confidence. I couldn't care less about the sonic timeline. I think it's fine whether it's a different canon or early in the timeline.

[@Dynafall]

This is certainly chaotic

[@filipvadas7602]

I *really* like this iteration of Metal Sonic. Yeah the silent killer trope works for him, but Chaos Sonic having all of Sonic's jovialness and sarcasm is just as effective here. He still jokes around, insults and mocks, except now there's a murderous intent behind it that makes it legitimately threatening. Compounded by the fact that the only way to beat him was to literally *unmake him* using the same power that was used to give him life to begin with.

[@lgill6710]

Regarding the statement that Prime is canon, I've always had a thought in the back of my mind that it's just canon in the Sonic Multiverse if you will as it was sort of confirmed in an episode of TailsTube.

[@michaelkindt3288]

I personally did it see a trailer with Chos Sonic in it (for as far as I can remember), and I remember being really excited when the show was introducing its own robot double, only to be disappointed in the design the moment I lay eyes on it. I got used to it, but I think the problem is 1). His pelvis is way too small compared to the rest of his body, it could stand to be a little bigger. And 2). His head is too thin to take seriously. When conceptualizing improvements, I imagined it something being more the shape of the robots for Murder Drones (which already kind of look like Sonic characters). It probably doesn't have to be as round as those heads, but at least something slightly more balanced. I fell in love with his personality not instantly tho. I love the direction they took this guy in.

[@SlimShady6675]

“And he runs in heels, SLAY QUEEN!”

[@layawatts6337]

I feel like Choas Sonic is Sonic if he was a mean girl. He's sassy, dramatic and over the top. As soon as he spoke I loved him. I didn't find him genuinely annoying, just annoying enough for the characters and audience to understand that he was supposed to be irritating 😂

[@Ollie.H-2301]

I think he's a good character but he's very annoying and I actually started cheering when he was beat.

[@DJMcNerdette]

Oh yeah, definitely.

[@jackson3475]

I agree on Chaos Sonic seeming to be one paintjob and half a redemption arc away of becoming an alternative version of *Shard* as far as we know *Nine* could just recycle him into it since he learned Egg tech and is in part responsible for Chaos Sonic's creation.

[@shadowmarauder6033]

I at first was disappointed with Chaos Sonic as I wanted it to be normal Metal sonic, but making him a unique & separate character has grown on me. Plus in many ways he’s a better robot doppelgänger to Sonic as he really felt like a real evil reflection of the character. If he ever returns in any significant form, it could give the writers a chance to do a similar story arc to Shard from Archie comics but with their own character this time.

[@deletoblue1436]

He's annoyingly awsome

[@abigailhedderly4978]

Chaos Sonic was the best thing to come out of this show (so far) lol

[@mephilesfan]

He’s also a direct criticism of Sonic’s terrible characterisation in Prime and ends up being way more enjoyable than the character he’s supposed to be the “annoying” version of

[@quasar.nebula]

@@mephilesfan Out of curiosity's sake, have you been following IDW Sonic or Nick's Sonic Speed Reading series on it? I'm interested how you feel about Sonic's characterization in that world!

[@EvelynL.1112]

@@mephilesfan How was Prime Sonic's characterization "terrible"?

[@ZacSonicMee]

Personally, as a longtime sonic fan, I gotta say, Chaos Sonic takes the cake for by far my favorite metal sonic. The design is good, though there are definitely better designs like the godzilla sa1 sonic or sk3 mecha sonic, but the personality, especially thanks to the daft punk head giving him so much room for expression, is really why I love him. He's a ruthless, sassy nuisance, and I love villains who strike that balance just right, especially because despite all of his sass and joking, he is a genuine threat. Personally, I'm fine if he isn't brought back as this is a pretty good end point for him, but I'd be happy to see him again in later seasons.

[@XDubio]

I just realized the following when I compared the creation philosophy of Metal Sonic and Chaos Sonic: Metal Sonic was designed by Dr. Eggman/Robotnik, who have not just considered to create a better Sonic, but an opposite of Sonic: sinister, cold blooded, silent killer. Mr. Dr. Eggman was absolutely clueless what he was trying to do, and the input he got from Nine is make a better Sonic: It is faster, sassier, nothing less but also nothing on top of that. Probably the other members of the Chaos Council would have given the remaining pieces of what would create Metal Sonic: Dr. Done-it: "Make it deadlier" because why not? Dr. Deep: Make it silent to strike fear in their foe. Dr. Babble would probably would suggest shockers because it is pointlessly violent, and Dr. Don't would suggest the jet pack because it is cool? I don't really know what these two would have suggested. So I absolutely believe that Chaos Sonic is on purpose is more "cute" (as you called it) and less sinister, because the input to make it more of a Metal Sonic was absent. But who knows, maybe Chaos Sonic will be more sinister in the 3rd season, as the others will give their feedback on it to Mr. Dr. Eggman?

[@jaketylenol]

I didn’t find him annoying but I will say his fight with Sonic made Sonic look really pathetic in MY opinion anyway I think he’s okay

[@SonicSwift99]

Sonic has looked pathetic in this entire show tbh. Shadow has mollywhopped him in both times they fought, the pirates gave him a lot of trouble, and now Chaos Sonic was mopping him up. I love this show and its characters but the main character himself is my only issue lmao.

[@jaketylenol]

@@SonicSwift99 I feels ya, I think the shows just okay personally (unless Nines and Shadow are involved) but I cannot stand this version of Sonic at all and the fact they say this is cannon to the games when it clearly isn’t makes it worst

[@SonicSwift99]

@@jaketylenol Agreed. The show is fine but there’s just so much untapped potential considering the narrative revolves around the “Sonic multiverse.”

[@jaketylenol]

@@SonicSwift99 yeah like how out of all the cast members the only character to benefit from the multiverse concept is Nines. No other counterpart actually plays off their original selves. And based off Sonic’s initial reaction to the idea of a “metallic Sonic” I really have to question how much the writers actually know about the franchise. As it’s own property it’s fine but it annoys me that the producer would say this

This version of Metal Sonic's snarky attitude reminded me of Sonic from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and SATAM from the 90s. Haven't watched the 90s show in a hot minute, but I'm definitely getting those 90s vibes.
