[@sonicnetwork2944]

@@Goofy-Mario64 nice choice me personally I think neo looks cooler but to each his own 👍

[@Darian-sama]

I’m picking Neo Metal because his design and actual personality are way better than regular metals, and also regular metal has been in so much sonic media in recent years with zero personality or interesting moments. Really goes to show how over saturation can ruin a character

[@ezronco.8671]

They have the same personality it's just that metal can't speak in his normal form.

[@SuperGamefreak18]

@@ezronco.8671the idw comics have shown off his personality without the ability to speak better than the games usually did even if they did still show NEO early in the comics

[@TheCatWatches]

Neo Metal is a cool character I hope we see again. Metal looked pretty depressed when he reverted back to his original form back in the early 2000’s. He’s had 2 decades of games to plan a retaliation. Metal should get the Xmen 97 Bastion treatment where he learns from the mistakes of all the other Sonic baddies and evolves into a true threat post Sonic Frontiers

[@sonicgirl02]

He is in the idw sonic comics

[@EnglishAaron]

Wouldn't you be depressed if you lost so badly that you reverted back to just being a metal version of an existing character after you had finally managed to become your own individual?

[@TheCatWatches]

@@EnglishAaron yes

[@Electralmoon]

He did turn back Neo again in the IDW comics though (They're canon)

[@kevinwells7997]

And he’s returning in sonic x shadow generations

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

"Neo Metal Sonic" should've been Metal Sonic's new permanent design .

[@ScalyRaptor1944]

mmmmmm no, but it should have returned more often than just one more time in the comics

[@thebrickbros.1294]

Yeah I don’t think neo metal Sonics design needs to be permanent because then he loses the core aspects of what metal sonic is, a metal version of Sonic. And even his ability to talk should stay exclusive to neo metal because it goes with the theme that metal sonic and sonic are polar opposites of each other, sonic talks a lot saves nature and cares for others. Metal is cold and dark, doesn’t speak and willingly destroys nature. It’s a machine vrs nature thing and I like to keep it like that

[@ScalyRaptor1944]

@@thebrickbros.1294 yes!

[@SoundwaveSuperior6969]

No, but he should be Metal’s form when taking over the world with Eggman, or at least trying to, since he fights better in his Neo form than in his normal form

[@thebrickbros.1294]

@@SoundwaveSuperior6969 I still think his original form shows what metal really is, a reflection of sonic, you loose that with Neo metal. In my eyes original metal sonic is special because he’s the only sonic robot that can almost outmatch the original, mecha sonic marks 1 & 2 both failed to kill sonic and even other metal sonic variants like metal sonic 3.0. I love his Neo metal design but I want more games to show metal’s character like they did in cd and even the sonic OVA, I’d recommend watching it if you love metal sonic

[@Velocity_YT]

I like both. But i kinda wish he still had a voice outside of Neo Metal Sonic.

[@sonicnetwork2944]

Glad I'm able to play as him in speed simulator because I get to see that rad design every time 👍

[@brandonp7503]

Different villains for different roles. Neo has too much of a big boss appearance for the henchman role, but standard Metal Sonic looks like a perfect robotic enforcer. On the flip side, standard Metal would appear underrated as a final boss, especially following Perfect Chaos and the Finalhazard.

[@thetoondevil]

I always thought his name was Metal Overlord, and his transformation was Metal Madness. I always figured Neo was an Archie comic name for him.

[@miguelleis4827]

Starting from smallest to biggest, there is Metal Sonic, Neo( the one with the longer quills and ability to shapeshift) Metal Madness and Metal Overlord(he flies and is the one Sonic fights in heros)

[@Lexusamerica]

If metal sonic is in Sonic 3, I'd really love to see his Neo version in the movie

[@DaZeed73]

Not to be mean, but i doubt something as big as neo metal could appear, id say thats a bit too far. Its most likely gonna focus more on shadow obv.

[@pigglesgoomshby7249]

I could see them doing something like Metal Overlord for the end to substitute the Biolizard fight

[@KhilleyTV]

He’s the single coolest design of the character ever made and criminally underused

[@pipopawebghost8095]

Neo metal sonic had recently been added to the Roblox game including a boss fight against his non overlord form which was a treat for someone who grew up with sonic heroes If only it was in a real sonic game tho cause the Roblox is kinda too easy

[@JustJ4D3N]

He’s always been my favorite iteration of metal sonic 😊

[@Rock27nites]

It actually took 3 super forms to take down metal overlord.

[@DarkBlade6690]

Neo Metal Sonic for sure. His character was my favorite part of Sonic Heroes, and I always felt like we should've gotten a sequel.

[@joshuawilliams6767]

Underrated as heck

[@birdquest8695]

Neo Metal Sonic so much cooler than regular Metal Sonic, I wish he stayed like that, or at the very least kept his ability to speak, his lack of a voice in normal form makes him kinda boring, but I definitely wouldn’t want him to be annoying like Chaos Sonic from Sonic Prime though.

[@geekcringe123]

Most badass villain in Sonic franchise

[@murraymurphy1298]

Neo Metal Sonic is basically "we forgot that it was MECHA Sonic who did all the ability copying, indomitability, and going rogue stuff, so we're giving that stuff to Metal instead".

[@carnage0685]

I don't think he went rogue as much as he was trying to carry out Robotnik's plan after he went out of commission.

[@StanleySophana]

Neo Metal Sonic needs to appear in another game. I would love to see him as the main villain again

[@random_me666]

Loved it and made him a actual formidable villian for even the likes of Shadow and Sonic. If they could bring him back he would prob be universal level in present day Sega for the feats Sonic and Shadow have done since.

[@churder6788]

In another universe chris never chose the Jason x shirt and thus this announcement wouldn't have Happen

[@garroshhellscream594]

Neo Metal Sonic has a dedicated character arc in the IDW comics, working for Eggman this time. Sort of.

[@ateam6885]

I want both of the designs

[@exastox]

i love both neo metal sonic and regular metal sonics designs i think they're both well designed characters in terms of looks

[@raijyn2452]

The pinnacle of metal sonic

[@l-kanal2770]

Neo and metal are both perfect

[@Exploding_Cacti]

I’m a big fan of Metal Sonic regardless. But I have to admit that the Neo Metal Sonic is really epic looking and has been the coolest villain design they’ve ever done by far. Plus the voice and his personality are pretty menacing, which adds to him big time. It’s a bit sad that they didn’t add to Metal’s personality after the events in Heroes.

[@AgentNibbles]

Something no one ever talks about that I think more people should. Eggman in SA1 fought Perfect Choas head on with his fleet. Eggman didn't even hesitate to directly fight what is essentially the God of choas in their universe but he literally told his fleet to retreat and stated that Neo Metal Sonic can only be beaten with nothing less than the 7 emeralds. He wasn't scared of Perfect Choas but was actually scared of Neo Metal Sonic.

[@gustavobretasrosa2017]

Neo is proof that Metal Sonic is one of the biggest threats that Sonic fought! Not to mention he can transform to Neo Overlord, that freaky robotic dragon form

[@MrBonessss]

I prefer how Metal looks normally, but i admit this is a badass form for him. If he ever comes back with a multi phase fight, let him slip into this for Phase 2.

[@stabbycat748]

Neo Metal and Team Dark are really the only things I like about Sonic Heroes, ngl.

[@darkyozora1222]

Damn i feel bad for metal sonic now with the recent shadow generations update trailer out and about. Cause now he gotta get his ass beat not once but twice by both classic sonic and now shadow.

[@VVEGA2940]

Quick note, Metal Overlord might just be one of the most powerful Sonic Villains just by game mechanics. He has Chaos data, Shadow and Omega's data, Team Sonics, and whatever benefits he could get from the Chaotix. And whilst it does take Super Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to beat him, remember that even then they can't harm him with regular attacks. Metal can only be damaged in his 2nd phase with the ultra-powerful Team Blast, AND EVEN THEN, it takes several of those in order to finally beat him.

[@darkcloudXIV]

Neo Metal Sonic makes an appearance in Archie Comics Sonic series. A whole army of them appears at one point fighting in defense of Sonic; shockingly, this was commissioned by the King of Acorn and built by Sonic’s Uncle Chuck (both much to Sonic’s chagrin). The logic was that since Sonic had been lost in space for over a year, they needed something to keep Eggman at bay if Sonic ever disappeared again. As for the Metal Sonic design (which is what Sonic was really upset about), Uncle Chuck simply stated, “Robotnik doesn’t own a copyright on it.”

[@wesleywarrick]

Sonic Heroes is my favorite Sonic game. 🙌🏻

[@exoticpickles_]

Sonic in a fight with Metal Overlord: *goes super* Shadow in a fight with Metal Overlord: *destroys him in Shadow Generations without going super*

[@Gazing-09]

It's a shame we've never got to see the process of Metal Sonic achieving this form. Not even in that Sonic Forces Mod called Overclock.

[@epsyblue7714]

A shame he doesn't show up ever again

[@jackdefilippis3465]

I WANT NOW A REMAKE OF SONIC HEROES

[@surenderreddy8144]

Honestly I think his design is a little silly, just for how top heavy he looks with those big ass spikes and then an pointless cape

[@theory4251]

I love the recent acknowledgement Neo Metal's been getting overall. My headcanon is that Neo Metal is a duplicate built by Eggman to manipulate Sonic and the gang but he got too powerful. Also he can shoot lasers like Dragon Ball.

[@meowsquared]

Honestly I think Neo gets screwed by the plot more than anything. In Sonic heroes, he copies the DNA of all of the main heroes, but somehow never thinks to copy the energy of the chaos emeralds or the master emerald, which Knuckles just leaves laying around. We're talking about a Metal with Sonic's intuition AND Eggman's sheer brilliance. Then we get to IDW and he completely just sells, over and over again. If Metal was allowed to just win for once, he'd be unstoppable.

[@SoundwaveSuperior6969]

Neo needs more love in the games ngl, we already have Jakks figures, comics, Sonic Speed Sim, but not the mainline games

[@Marqrk]

I think with maybe just a taller base frame or a little less protrusion Neo Metal could have been a perfect design, I don’t think he’s bad necessarily he just feels a bit too crowded with how short he is, it’s like there’s no room to breathe when looking at him. If he wasn’t relegated to being stubby to match Sonic I think his spikes and pointy bits would hit much harder

[@scythe8418]

I think it’s criminal for them to not bring back Neo Metal Sonic in the games again

[@patrickszmagalski573]

He was in sonic dx in a container next to normal metal sonic

[@tailsfan10]

Neo Metal's so fricking badass, he surpasses that of base Metal. But I do prefer he remains as his base but occasionally is upgraded to Neo after a while, just like in the comics

[@jamestolbert1856]

I prefer both. Cause of their status. I love Neo as a main villain and Metal as a side antagonist.

[@austinhawthorne6310]

One of the coolest villans in the franchise, miss my 2000s sonic stuff

[@wingedflyingforce5139]

For me neo should have been the "modern" sonic of metal. It always looks strange to me seeing classic based metal next to modern sonic

[@kerryrufford-sharpe6510]

honestly neo metal sonic is a very underrated villian he btter come back

“Whyyyyyyyy I had it alllllllll!!!!!”

Neo metal is a underatted character.he is basically super metal sonic but,imagine super neo metal sonic

[@static669]

Well, it does exist but only in the idw comics

[@blindnerd4871]

I like Neo Metal Sonic, especially what they did in the idw comics at the beginning of the metal virus story (the beginning was good but man it really slowly went down hill.). What they did with him was good, but the ending to this part of the story was just keeping the status quo because of Sega's stupid decision making. But over all, issues 1-12 or 13 was pretty good for the most part.

[@derphilipistcool2025]

Bring back Metal Sonic as a villain!!!

[@SonicDrawsFast]

Dude i paused when you said his design was badass and all i heard was bad, dude i was about to go off, Neo Metal is like my favorite lil’ guy, hes just so cute.

[@JR-dr2db]

When I was younger, I used to think Mecha Sonic from SMBZ was influenced by Neo Metal Sonic.

[@ScalyRaptor1944]

not only did it take super sonic but also super powered tails and knuckles alongside him

[@anthonyjefferson6421]

It’s all fun and games until there’s super neo metal sonic … yes that’s a real thing

[@takeshikujo2909]

Okay, I got to ask, before KZbin became a thing that everyone uses, did anyone else think that Neo Metal Sonic was really a Metal Shadow? It’s the streaks. As cool as they are, they are just super misleading. Not to mention the shape of the spikes look more like Shadow’s quills too.

[@gomlagames]

I found out about neo metal sonic from sonic speed simulator but i especially know him from the books, but i really like him

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

The only sonic games I played were sonic 1, 2 3&K and then Heroes. So the whole time I thought Neo Metal sonic was just Mecha sonic from S3&K

[@josephdarkpride8344]

Considering Heroes is my all time favorite game yall already know i would love to see Neo again

[@kaielortiz1598]

Neo metal was fire 🔥

[@Wolfbane1677]

Neo metal sonic just looks like the edgy version on metal sonic, like Metal sonic was metal and Neo metal sonic is heavy metal. XD

[@BlustreakG]

Neo is Metal Sonic as a emo Teenager rebelling against his parent, while Metal Sonic is baby boy who respects his parent and bullies Sonic (by parent, I mean Eggman lol)

[@KnightoftheWind7]

Personally, I prefer Metal’s original design, but for a few games where HE is the final boss, Neo Metal is perfect!

[@alexanderberrones2165]

I wish metal sonic broke free once again so he could become neo once again

[@Valtronix_Sonic]

I love Neo Metal Sonic, but quills are too wacky lol

[@dragonlord12100]

Neo was amazing. Metal overlord is a bit much tho. I wish metal was in more games

[@peteypiranalover]

I prefer the classic design. Neo Metal didnt do much in that form. Until he became Metal Madness. Neo gained a Liquid pudding, a better morph copy where he can disguise himself as character, and talk. But I feel like Eggman could easily patch talking into him if he wanted. You never battle him in this form, I always felt this was a huge missed opportunity, You finally see him in full view and he immediately transforms again

[@LegoWhisbecauseyes]

He can also transform into Super as seen in IDW

[@Shrek_is_life-q1n]

The way I see it, Neo Metal Sonic is the better version since, in this form, he goes from being a Sonic faker to a being that goes beyond Sonic's limits at that point of time in the series

[@luckyexplorer1053]

I really like this take on Metal Sonic where he goes both T1000 and Ultron.

[@gomlagames]

Hes also in some of the sonic books, if im not wrong is in books 2 and 3 but hes showed the most in book 3

[@TobiTeeters]

Neo is pretty badass

[@multivewer]

My only question is how did metal Sonic go from normal to neo

[@agentclank8183]

I like neo metal sonic but besides his plotting I think he's very underutilized in the games (I count metal overlord as a separate thing). I wish they would show up a few more times.

[@menthol_pod]

neo is cool but it was a massive waste that there was no boss fight against his base form. underutilized for sure

[@SaVaGeKaRnAgE]
