Maybe even an earlier design for Gamma, because all of that sounds much more interesting than just a prop.

[@BlackTheBerserker]

In a lot of ways, in the archie comics I think he was a victim of trying to adapt the stories of a different universe into another where they weren't enitrely compatable. It just feels like they tried to force station square into the comics due to obligation when previously the comic continuity was established in a way where it was hard to justify in a fully satisfying way.

[@backwardsbandit8094]

I'm just incredibly glad that Archie sonic isnt canon because that shit was terrible for most of its existence. Most of it's original designs looked like furry deviantart OCs and the plotlines were so stupidly bonkers it was like reading riverdale

[@BlackTheBerserker]

@@backwardsbandit8094 you see you say that, but I haven't enjoyed this series nearly as much ever since the Archie Comics were canceled. The games stopped caring about story telling so long ago the archie series was the only thing I had to look forward to narratively. You see I'm glad the Archie Comics aren't canon to the games, but for a very different reason. For me it's because never wanted them to be tainted by how fast and loose Sega treats the game continuity. Now that the comics follow the game continuity more so I've lost interest. At this point I'm convinced Shadow doesn't even have a canon backstory anymore.

[@Odrikah]

@@BlackTheBerserker I think you'll be glad then that it's been confirmed that some of the writers of the current comics, that carried over from Archie, have been tasked with writing the story for the next modern sonic game! They have to work with certain constraints in the new comics, but they do such a good job within them that I feel that the new comics, despite having so much working against them, immensely improve the story of the games for me, at least. It's not perfect, but it's some pretty quality stuff imo and shouldn't be written off entirely.

Considering in Sonic CD during the race with Metal Sonic when you win his face plate gets smashed into the wall when crossing the finish line.

[@ppleakage2785]

If Robotnik truly is smart he would’ve released the mecha

[@BlueAmpharos]

The design of Mecha Sonic in Sonic 3 and Knuckles has a really narrow visor that looks impractical, like he wouldn't be able to see anything slightly above him that he isn't directly looking at, such as, say, a hedgehog that is spinning at a 75 degree angle through the air. That brow protrudes outwards more than the other Sonic robots and would definitely narrow his vertical field of view, unless he had extra sensors in his ears or something.

[@comicfan1324]

0:20 I hate to be that guy, but Eggman actually didn’t make “Cyber-Sonic.” He was created by a group of sentient androids with DNA samples from sonic the hedgehog himself. (It’s a long story.)

[@sputnikmann6541]

I always just assumed that this was just... Mecha Sonic. The one guarding the Death Egg in Sonic 2 on the Genesis/Mega Drive. All the design principles are there, gray/silver outer shell, bulky armor, wheelie greaves for feet, bulky fingers. It just seemed to be an updated arstyle; like how Amy, Metal and Sonic were portrayed in their "Adventure" era designs when Amy was flashing back to the events of Sonic CD.

[@didiercollard]

You also see him in Amy’s first cutscene. He’s chasing her when she talks about how bored she is.

[@wakeangel2001]

I was disappointed this version of mecha Sonic never got to be a boss or something in the games, but he does have a cool legacy in the comic. In that canon Robotnik created the Death Egg Silver Sonic by reverse engineering and upgrading Sonic's robotocized form, then mk 2 here was an upgrade of that, and later on we'd get one more upgrade with mk3 who was basically a Sonic shaped TANK, never letting us forget the greatness of issue 39, which some still insist was the best issue of the series run.

I like the idea of this being a Silver Sonic Mk 2, it shares a fair amount of elements with him. An old experiment abandoned in favor of a more speed focused redesign leading to Mecha and later Metal. Something Eggy kept around in case he ever wanted to return to the more tanky concept which he kinda does with the E-series.

I used to think it was the mecha sonic from Sonic 2 but seems not. Looking at its design now I think it could have been another body for E-101 Beta rather than the MarkII design. It kinda seems similar with the 2 gun hands and that would have been a crazy twist.

Just for future reference, maybe to make it easier, you should call the Sonic 2 16-bit robot Robo Sonic, from the LEGO game. It may be the only time he's named differently, but it's better then sharing names.

[@themidnightotaku22]

I have some pretty good thoughts on this version of Metal Sonic also. If you look closely at the features you can identify that this robot was created to match the skills of each playable character in the game: Rockets on the shoes for flying & speeding up. (Tails & Sonic) Rocket barrel knuckles for punching & firing missiles. (Knuckles & Gamma) Awkward metallic feet that close in for extra jump height. (Amy) And launchable wrists to grab things with from a distance. (Big... well... still not sure about this one)

[@RealmsCrossMyths]

This series has me wondering… what if Sega made a Sonic franchise game - not a Sonic game, as it wouldn't have sonic or the usual meat cast - where the opening is one of Eggman's 'doppelgänger' robots (works best if it's a new one) is trying to secure a location for Eggman, and someone asks why they are doing this, giving the robot pause. Best explained by learning A.I. or a bug in the Code, the robot concludes that they benifit more by being on the side of the many, rather than the side of Eggman. You then play as this robot and like pretty much every Sonic game, your goal is to defeat bosses-in this game, it happens to be every other 'doppelgänger' robot that has canonically appeared in the Sonic franchise games. If you beat them, you 'knock some sense' into them and they join your cause. So obscure robots like Metal Knuckles and this guy would show up not just as enemies, but part of the playable roster. Metal Sonic could still show up to fight sonic, as he was programmed for that specific reason, and is a recurring villain. He and sonic would still fight in future games, but now only because sonic enters MetaSoni's territory and not because MetaSoni is hunting for him. And perhaps instead of to the death, it could be a form of bravado, to show the machine is superior to the hedghog. It'll probably never happen… … but what if it did?

[@moisesmoraes1696]

I believe that the canon name of silver sonic from sonic 2 is actually robo sonic, at least that's what he is called in sonic's level on Lego dimensions.
