The Many Mechas of Amy Rose

[@wakeangel2001]

Cyber Amy from Boom is WAY more disturbing than you give here credit for. Remember, the whole point in that show was they needed a robot that couldn't be hacked, so Tails built robots with organic brains. WHERE DID HE GET ORGANIC BRAINS FROM? How did he program them? Did he clone them? Did he take animal brains and put them in robot bodies? Boom Tails, what horrible things did you do!?

[@DataDrain02]

They're clone brains, as I recall. Which I gotta say, sounds like an extetential nightmare. Since the clone brains had to be artifically aged up to their ages. So a MUCH more extreme case of the Clone Troopers, or Solid Snake. Which is already a nightmare to think about. Then add to this that, they woke up in Robot bodies.... If Sonic Boom wasn't a comedy series. That could have been a facinating yet horrifying theme to explore.

[@wakeangel2001]

@@DataDrain02 I know right? Eggman is supposed to be the bad guy but Tails did something WAY more horrifying than he ever did. "Ha ha, I made a robot to attack the border of the city!" "I made a robot that gained sentience and tried to conquer an innocent city of robots, so to correct my mistake I made clones of my and my friends' brains and stuck them in robotic bodies...of course some reconditioning..." "you mean brainwashing?" "RECONDITIONING was necessary to avoid body dismorphia, I mean Sticks 1.0 immediately ripped her own metal skull open as soon as I activated her, but you know how science is mostly trial and error...what?" As Tails looks up he sees the absolutely horrified expressions of Eggman, his friends, and nearby townsfolk.

Tails in general is a case of "It's a really good thing you're a good guy." So as soon as Nine started seeming questionable, I was ready to see what an evil Tails would be like.

[@NightFuryLover31]

Rusty Rose always gave me a Mecha Sally vibe. Sonic’s close female companion, written as a love interest, being turned into a robot to serve Eggman to take over the world. And there’s also that dark element of being taken apart. Still, there are some pretty interesting robot Amy designs, it’s just a shame most aren’t given a bigger narrative.

[@dragondelsur5156]

I find it funny how Eggman made a metal copy of Amy this early on, it's like he said "this pink hedgehog is quickly becoming a menace, I gotta make a robot for the funny".

[@BadnikMechanic]

Fun Fact: The first Amy Badnik sequence from Fleetway Sonic, is supposed to be a homage to Maria's transformation into the Robot from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Whilst it's not the most obvious thing, when you look at the panel showing Amy saying "Help" framed the way she is, it's not too dissimilar to the imagery of the robot standing in front of the throne/chair from that movie.

[@Preteristboy]

Conceptually, it kind of reminds me of the Cybermen from Doctor Who.

[@BadnikMechanic]

@@Preteristboy Wouldn't surprise me if that were also some inspiration. Dobbyn & Kitchen were both very open about taking influences from the BBC when it came to their Fleetway stuff. Sonic & Tails relationship is basically Blackadder & Baldrick, and my favourite issue is a parody of The Wicker Man, but the entire issue is full of references and nods to British Horror and BBC Specials.

[@zephon6745]

I am thinking that the Super Badnik Amy shell was a prototype Cybernik.

[@KSKY2012]

I had no idea that Superstars had a Metal Amy design! It's honestly so cute! And I also didn't realize how many robot designs that Amy had, that's a nice surprise :D All the designs for her robot forms are all so unique, it's honestly super nice to see

[@colemanholt2434]

I'm not a big Sonic fan but when I decided to watch the first season of Sonic Prime, Rusty Rose easily gave me the most laughs. The "I wish I were programmed to laugh" line being my favorite. I now have her figure and await to see her again in the next season.

[@petesoys6348]

I love the new Metal form they gave Amy in Superstars. It's just so nice to look at and they implemented so many if her past self's attributes into the bot nicely. Would love to see a sort of part 2 with Tails bots. It'd be pretty weird if he of all characters didn't have a significant amount of his own Metal doppelgangers with him being so close to Sonic and being an inventor himself.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

A total shame that Metal Amy in Superstars doesn't have her own hammer, except for the hammer hand option. I was picturing her hammer to be similar to Rosy the Rascal's impaler hammer, the one with the spike ends, from the Archie Sonic mirror universe.

[@wadeyhyena1657]

You mean "Moebius"?

[@itsgab5745]

I'll be honest, Super Star's Metal Amy head spike looks more like ZZ Gundam head cannon than an intake. It's also shaped like the Sazabi stomach cannon too. So I have a feeling it's more of a small laser cannon rather than an intake. Her intake vents could be the slits on her torso, but that's just my thoughts on the design.

[@toalutoriangaming]

Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that, it’s absolutely not an intact and a reference to Gundam stuff

[@Jr-Reed]

10:29 I think this Metal Amy was inspired by those old Japanese Sonic Adventure comic strips. The design is very similar, especially with her whole dress being a rocket

[@KingoftheBashful]

Metal Amy in Superstars is a pretty neat design, although if I had to choose my favorite Robo Amy in terms of look alone, then I'd say "Amy Woman" from the Archie Crossover for Sonic and Mega Man have to be it. Honestly, all of the roboticized Robot Master versions of Sonic's friends have badass looks to them in general.

[@xavierjuno4572]

[@michaelbowman6684]

I feel like if any character would be fitting for the "obsessive psycho yandere" type character, it would be a Metal Amy. She would be just as obsessed with Sonic as Metal Sonic is, but instead of just wanting to kill him to prove ultimate superiority, she would be designed to kill him through "affection" and utilizing other yandere tropes like manipulation to ultimately inflict long lasting trauma, think "the most twisted reflection of Amy" you can, and that would be the character. I feel it would also be fitting for her to actually have a voice, but only if she had an almost exact replica of Amy's voice and speech patterns, just because I think that would drive home the point that she was designed in favor of psychological warfare over killing efficiency. I feel like that would make her stand out quite a bit from the other Metal characters who most often find themselves just being a different kind of knockoff Metal Sonic, killing machines but without any semblance of a personality.

[@LeivenFrestea]

This is perfect! I'm now imagining a Metal Amy with what you've described, built to seriously mess with Sonic _mentally_ And a tiny bit of Metal Sonic & Metal Amy interaction with M. Sonic being on standby while the one, the only M. Amy annoys him because she has nothing else to do. Then he decides he has had enough and throws the replica of miss little rascal into a wall, shutting her off and damaging a part of her Metal Sonic shortly realizes what he's done, and slightly panicked before the doctor enters due to the crashing noise, and saying "Metal Sonic, what happened!? What did you do to my newest creation!" before going on a small rant about how it takes a long time creating perfection and whatever. While Metal Sonic simply lives in his own mind, mindlessly staring at his hand and thinking, "That was a bit mean, wasn't it? She just wanted a little company My company."

[@EpsilonZolton]

taking an initial glance at the superstars design what i see is something meant to hover not go fast which to me means that Metal Amy is basically air support to Metal Sonic. hell the hands kinda look like emitters for energy blasts so personally i would give her a combat move set similar to the fight with Metal Sonic in Sonic 4 episode 2 (i know were aren't supposed to talk about that game but still i think it would work)

[@Crow_Rising]

In regards to Mania's Amy Doll, I'm honestly not really sure if that even counts as a robot. It's clearly able to move to a certain extent, but we don't really know how that works so for all we know those things are far more doll than bot. In regards to the Superstars design, I don't really feel like it looks like a battle robot at all. If I were to make a quick assumption based on the design, I'd say this version of Metal Amy is more of a scout type robot meant to gather intel or acquire things that aren't being particularly guarded.

[@BlueCollaredK9]

Metal Amy from the Archie comics is literally just a glorified Bullet Bill and I love that.

[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

Considering Gamera is mentioned, Amy isn't the only one headed back to the limelight. Coincidentially, one preliminary sidekick just so happens to bear a striking resemblance to the friend of all children himself, Boomer the Turtle who now exists in the world of IDW Sonic.

looks great! my favorite design element is the rocket booster dress very cool! on the topic of the metal amy's we cant forget the lastest and my favorite version rusty rose an alternate universe robotisized amy created by sonic fracturing the newly introduce universe forming power gem of that series... yes i forget both the series name and the name of that new gem i just remember a bit of the series cuase i cant actualy follow the show... no money. 10:43 i thought of a way to include the look of amy's bangs while intruducing a meanicing functionality, a spiky circular saw where the bangs would be, creating the same outline and an homage to the bang while not simply being wasted meterial and a practical weapon, it would make it impractical to attack the front of the head.

[@Silver_Godot]

You say that Tails Doll never attacked anyone, but in the Archie comics didn't he turn into some metal monster to swallow the city right before and right after the last Megamen crossover?

[@mechamadness]

I think the reason Sonic was worried in the fight with the Amy badnik more than the previous time in fleetway because 1, it was online, so one wrong hit and everything goes kablooey, and 2, because maybe fleetway badniks don't protect the animal inside by putting them in suspended animation.

[@redacculous]

It's possible; iirc he tries to go easier on ones containing animals, and when he hears that Troopers lack them, he ends up going ham on them

[@Robot257onlinehue]

That thing in the middle of her head is probably a design reference to ZZ Gundam, if you compare both the diamond hole things are virtually the exact same. If they gave her a unique moveset she'd shoot lasers out of there

Honest to god Commander Brutus is basically what I wish Heavy King was in the main Sonic universe. Like that personality is perfect for the guy.

[@ultimateknux2402]

I'm not sure how well this would work in a design but I got a pretty cool idea while watching the video. Y'know how Amy in Sonic R has a scrapped buzzsaw that would've come out of her car? I think it would be cool to revisit that idea with some kind of copy of Amy considering a saw seems overly violent for normal Amy but I think could work with a metallic duplicate. It would also make for a cool and obscure reference to a cut idea. I don't know how exactly it would function though, like maybe rather than having a hammer Metal Amy could utilize a buzzsaw? Much like how it could've been used in Sonic R, she could eject it out from somewhere on her body or limbs and use it as an attack. I liked the idea of her skirt being able to spin that you came up with so what if she could use that to spin her upper body alone and with the buzzsaw it could make for a deadly spin attack where the buzzsaw is sticking out of her while she's spinning? I think it's only fitting that Metal Amy uses some kind of weapon like the real Amy but I don't know whether or not it's a good idea to have it still be a hammer. A buzzsaw would definitely make Metal Amy unique and make for an interesting weapon opposing Amy's hammer. A saw also feels like something to come more out of modern technology as opposed to a hammer which I think works well to make Metal Amy feel less human and more scary. Either way, I love the different duplicate Amy's in Sonic media and I hope Metal Amy and the other metal duplicates get expanded in a new title. I never noticed the Amy Doll's have an evil grin on their face before they explode, it makes them a lot creepier and may even be a nod to the Tails Doll's creepier depictions online. It's hard for me to decide which I think works better for Amy, a doll or a full on robot. I feel like the doll treatment fits Classic Amy particularly well like you said and I adore the concept but ideas for a Metal Amy are just really cool on their own. But, if we can have the Tails Doll and Metal Tails at the same time then why not have both for Amy right? Great video as always, Nick!

[@dragonheart5312]

Metal Amy's hair looks to function like stabilization fins for her rocket dress. At least at certain angles

[@shadowsnake5133]

Metal amy honestly hasn't been made yet to me. They're all focusing on her combat abilities, something that doesn't exist until after sa2 really, as in sa1, she was running for the most part, and sa2, she was purely supportive, convincing shadow to help save them. And nowadays, she's been a major player in the resistance, helping keep everyone organized and informed, and that's where I'd start designing a metal amy around, a battle field commander for other badnicks and robots. Her bangs are antennas, and her eyes wider for more information to be gathered and coordinated. Her dress changes depending on the era, classic metal amy would obviously gain a hovering double jump, putting the air intakes at ger feat instead, and her arms will be unchanged. She'll have small hamners for throwing as self defense, with mini jets on the heads, allowing them to return to metal amy. As for modern metal amy, she'd be bulkier, with no such intakes or jets, rather putting all of it into hamner for jet powered hammer flips and spins, basically like masked ddd's hammer but with an amy rose paint job. This all gives her a more Frontline role compared to her classic selfs hit from a distance and run tactics. Modern metal amy would also have the black dome shield, but with the ability to summon mini ones on her arms, allowing her to essentially back hand projectiles out of existence or back to sender. This approved allows for a better representation of amy in the robots, something i feel is missing. Oh, bonus thing i thought of afterwards, she could be introduced to specifically counter the zeti, using the same control method and thus being immune, and also meaning she could potentially stop omega and gemereld in their tracks, even when disarmed of her combative weapons, a neat plot twist if ever made cannon with the changes I've noted, just saying, metal amy should be a commander robot, and anything else second.

I imagine Superstars Metal Amy would be best for as you said, maneuverability, but also the usage of external weaponry. Usually with jet engines arranged in multiple spots like that, it's meant to allow quick changes and cancellations in momentum - something Metal Sonic is notoriously bad with - and because Metal Amy's hands look more complex than Metal Sonic's knife fingers for quick hit and run slashes, Metal Knuckles' huge claws for digging and punching and Metal Tails' chunky forearms seemingly designed to interface with heavy duty machinery, I believe that'd allow her to better-utilize whatever additional tech Eggman wanted to send her out with, like a huge rocket hammer or a high-performance vehicle.

They explain in fleetways that Sonic has to hold back his strength to not hurt the animals when he destroys badniks. When they introduced trooper badniks just after Robotnike conquers Mobius Sonic discovered they were more durable than standard badniks so he had to stop holding his strength back when fighting them. That's probably what was going in the battle against Brutus's Metal Rose and Metal Lightfoot too strong to hold back but too dangerous to go all out.

[@TheDigiDog]

17:15 I can see why people love Rusty Rose compared to Metal Amy, Rusty is apart of the concept of What is Sonic never existed and Eggman (or the Chaos Council) took over the world.

The real move would’ve been to camp closer to the window so he could just jump out of it if needed. It gives you less distance to kill zombies, but gives you a chance to jump out.
