Which is your favorite fake Sonic?
>>388179647
Neo Metal is probably the best design that's come out of the sonic series amidst it's typical cut and paste animal bullshit, and he shows up for probably less then 20 seconds in a cutscene in heroes. What a fucking waste, and you don't even see his whole body.
>>388179941
I had to use a fan made model for the image because I couldn't even find a good one from the game. I'm pretty sure he only existed in pre-rendered cutscenes so there isn't even a model rip.
I like the one from Sonic & Knuckles because I feel like he had the most personality in the old games, coming back multiple times in the campaign and then being the villain of Knuckles campaign.
and by the way, what the fuck is up with the rocket-head Metal Sonic who shows up for 2 seconds in Fighters?
>>388180605
The proportions of SnK's Metal Sonic are SO GOOD.
I personally like the Rocket Sonic, it looked like Robotnik was like "FUCK IT. SPEED. I NEED MORE SPEED. FASTER THAN THAT BLUE NUTSACK COULD EVER HOPE TO GO. JETS ARE FAST. FUCK. HE'S A JET NOW. FUCK YOU SONIC. LEGO GRABBY HANDS TOO. I HATE YOU SO MUCH SONIC."
Neo Metal Sonic had such a shit design
>>388179647
none of them because im not autistic
>>388179647
Sonichu, without a doubt
CD Metal Sonic and 3&K Metal Sonic are the best ones.
>>388181250
Then what the fuck are you doing on /v/?
>>388181368
If I had any faith in anything Sonic Team do, I'd say I want to see a game where Metal and Mecha team up. Maybe if they get to do a Mania 2. But Metal was in Generations, Mania, and Forces, so maybe they should give him a rest if they get to do a Mania 2.
At any rate I'd like to see Mecha Sonic from S3&K come back in some way.
>>388182015
I think he probably isn't brought back because he canon got destroyed at the end of Knuckles' path in 3&K.
>>388180605
rocket metal has a moveset im sonic fighters for some reason.
basically every npc model does but some are more complete than others
>>388182167
Metal Sonic blows up all the time. He's a robot, just rebuild him.
If a hypothetical Mania 2 does more time-space warp horseshit they don't even need to rebuild him to bring him back.
>>388182326
I want Mania 2 to be a fully original thing cause the original levels were my favorite part of Mania but we'll have to see I guess.
>>388182425
I agree, I just wouldn't be surprised if they do recycle more stuff.
>>388181364
Not Asperchu? Get outta here.
>>388179647
The metal one, I like his sleek and simple design
Shadow
>>388179647
Super Mecha Sonic was fucking awesome, only way it could've been more hype was if Sonic himself fought him,
You could have two Super Sonics, one real one mechanical, just crashing into each other at high speed.
does this one count?
>>388182874
That's a discount version of a discount version of Sonic, too far removed.

>>388179647
This one.
Metal Sonic is perfection. You're looking at the real Sonic right here.
METAL SONIC IS MY WIFE
>>388179647
I still like the chunky Sonic 2 Mecha Sonic the best, which is somewhat ironic considering I hate the GG S2 replacement for it, Silver Sonic.
>>388185497
I like how industrial he looks, and the cycloptic eye is a nice touch. I don't like mohawk/buzzsaw style spines on Sonic, but it works on a robotic version of him.
This one. I like how menacing it looks.
>>388180605
I'll always associate Mecha Sonic as being the best Metal Sonic because he was such a badass in Super Mario Bros Z.
I don't care it's stupid fanfiction, he's one of the best villains ever.
https://youtu.be/u1Z1PjFXYcs
>>388185629
I'm not sure if I like the doofy cartoon designs of Sonic 1 or the more mechanical designs of Sonic 3.
>>388185601
I don't really hate anything about Silver Sonic itself save for the legs, it just irritates me that so many confuse it and S2 Mecha Sonic because of the archie comics and as such it has become my least favorite.
>>388186053
I was talking about the Genesis Sonic 2 design myself.
Metal will always be the best rival to Sonic. But I will always like Model #29 for the fact he's a motherfucking transformer and should in some form reappear in the series. And Mecha Sonic too becauseMario Bros Z
>>388179647
Sonic 3 Metal for sure. He just looks pretty badass desu. He looks a bit like Raditz.
>>388186182
Ah yeah, I know, since that doesn't fit silver's toylike look. Just wanted to clarify why about SS.
The buzzing sounds and one hit deaths of the battle made it very memorable to me, and it was a treat to see it show up in the lego sonic stuff, I thought it had been forgotten.
>>388185857
personally I think that Sonic 3&K hit a really good balance of things looking cartoony yet looking like they're made out of realistic machine parts, especially with stuff like the minibosses
>>388179647
Mecha from Sonic 3& Knuckles will always be my favorite, since he was far more efficient than Metal.
The only times Metal ever got it right was Chaotix / Heroes / OVA Triple Trouble, since he's just there to job otherwise.
>Has all the all the abilities of Sonic
>Setup is a big race
>Ends up being piss poor implementation that involves rubberbanding out the ass and usually Grandma speed when he's not in the lead
>People continue to redo this instead of "I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO! STRANGE, ISN'T IT!?!" fighting
It's a real shame since Metal is one of my favorite characters from a design point, but Sega doesn't want to let him really shine too much.

It's probably because Metal's psychotic. They'd be afraid to give him wins, because if he ever has any sort of upper hand, he's going to tear Sonic to shreds then proceed to burn down every forest.
>>388179647
I never realized how out of the loop I am with the sonic series, I don't know what game half these guys are even from. Top row I only know the 2nd through 4th. Middle row I'm guessing the 1st one is from Heros(I never did finish Heros). As for the rest I have no fucking clue.
>>388198974
The 1st one in the middle row is Mecha Sonic Model No.29 is from Sonic the Fighters. Though the 1st one in the bottom row is Neo Metal Sonic who is from Heroes.
Sonic 3 Mecha Sonic.
You actually see him try to get the full power of a chaos emerald. game was telling a story with no words.
>>388198974
The first one from the top row is from Sonic 2 for the Game Gear
>>388199352
And the last one from the top row is from Knuckles Chaotix.

>>388179647

>>388179647

>>388186914
It's pretty unfair though. Mecha was used as a distraction and later is part of a almost clever plot to kill Knuckles steal the Emerald after Sonic has left the island (Whether Robotnik told him to do it or not is up to debate).
Poor Metal only ever just pitched against Sonic as his rival so he has to job like hell. It's even part of his motivation for going insane in Heroes.

How many people are actually aware that Mecha Sonic went Super in S3K? He charges himself up on the Master Emerald, and goes Super for a short period as he fights Knuckles. You have to hit him as he goes back down for a recharge. It's a Lore-gasm in a boss fight. See >>388199310
From the way people post about him, I don't think this is a very well known fact. It hardly ever gets mentioned, despite being probably THE most badassedly memorable thing about his encounters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIpAilhlbRE
>>388200004
Games? Yeah pretty impressive (Even HK can only channel the energy through his scepter in Mania and it breaks afterwards)
But general in Sonic? Everyone and their dog abuses that thing in the comic. It's even part of Scourges origin story.
This one. Love the design.

After seeing arguments over such distinctions as between dragons/wyverns/drakes/etc., the popularity of mecha anime, and just knowing how autistic the Sonic fanbase is, I'll never understand how this design ever came to be called Mecha Sonic or how I haven't seen any arguments break out over this.It fucking bothers me. I just call him Metal Sonic Mk. III
>>388202831
Is there a version of this with good textures?
>>388202861
>In a Japanese strategy guide for Sonic & Knuckles and/or Sonic Jam, he was called "Mecha Sonic" (メカソニック).
>Mecha Sonic was confirmed as his current name in the backstory for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, released in the Story section of the official English-language website, implying that this Mecha Sonic is directly rebuilt from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.[3]

>>388179647
Shadow
>>388202861
Because that's his name. He's mechanical Sonic. He's an upgraded version of the robot from Sonic 2, also called Mecha Sonic.
>>388203219
I thought that was Silver Sonic from 2.
>>388204051
That's a misconception. The robot from the 8-bit version is called Silver Sonic, though.
>>388203138

>>388204051
Silver Sonic was his name in the comics.
the dinosaur biclops metal sonic
>>388200462
What is this?
>>388204051
Lego Sonic has the Death Egg one as Robo Sonic and the Sky Sanctuary one as Mecha Sonic.
People just call the GG one Silver Sonic.
>>388202861
>>388203138
>>388203219
>>388204051
>>388204101
They're all Mecha Sonic in Japan. Silver Sonic was the Sonic 2 version's localized name, later incorporated into the comics to help distinguish models. However, it was given the name "Robo-Sonic" in Lego Dimensions.
>>388204498
Where is the little Sonic from?
>>388205245
Based on the sprite, probably a Game Gear title. I don't recall the huge red one, myself.

>>388204498
>dinosaur biclops metal sonic
Is that from Heroes?
>>388206806
Yes.
>>388206586
After Metal goes giant and red in Chaotix, it would have been interesting to see them take a nod like this with the character, even if he was basically Master Mold from the X-men.Would have been really neat to have that as the generator midboss of Stardust Speedway 2 in Mania, then having the regular burst out and do the race sequence after enough damage happens. I still don't understand how there's two busted Metal Sonics in the containers within the background,
yet we're fighting the real deal just fine. A loss from Sonic CD & Triple Trouble? Maybe Chaotix? It always seemed like Eggman would rebuild the existing Metal instead of rushing out to build a new one from scratch, especially after Mania & Sonic 4: Episode Metal having cutscenes for just that purpose.
>>388206604
It'll probably get some rumblings eventually as Ian or someone else will detail "plans" that were going to happen yet did not, as that happened with the pre-reboot continuity.
>>388203130
HAHAHA. I know the guy that modeled this and this statement is going to crack him up
It's a stylistic choice, my dude.
>>388204764
Why is there 4 neo metal sonics?
>>388179647
Silver and Mecha because they we're actual fights.
I always found Metal Sonic to be lame as fuck. The race wasn't anywhere near as fun as it should have been. The real danger was avoiding Robotnik, not Metal.
>>388207559
It's Kino.
Why is Eggman so obsessed with making robot versions of his archnemesis?
>>388207398
>It always seemed like Eggman would rebuild the existing Metal instead of rushing out to build a new one from scratch
Eggman always used to rebuild Metal Sonic from scratch in the pre-reboot comics, so occasionally you'd have offshoots like Shard and Captain Metal running around.
It's ironic that SEGA tell him to stop doing that and to later have multiple Metal Sonics alluded to in Mania
>>388206331
Decent art but God do I hate this writing.
>>388207559
Obviously, that doesn't make it good.
>>388181115
>design a new metal sonic model
>have it appear in the opening cutscene
>don't do anything else with it
It even has a fully functional moveset and a title card and yet nothing. Even when they re-released the game and added playable metal sonic and eggman (AND a fully functional Honey), Rocket Metal was left to rot.
>>388194448
did you call?
>>388208276
That's for Archie Comics, where Neo Metal Sonics were basically their defense force for the heroes at some point ala Storm Troopers.
>>388208681
Yeah, that is weird. The only game that hinted at Eggman making new Metals was Sonic the Fighter, since that had something like Metal Mk V that turned into the rocket and all that.
>>388209470
Go home, Dan Green. You're drunk with power from bad scripts again.
>>388208681
Metal sonic is pretty hardy
Why doesn't Eggman just build like 12 Mecha Sonics and all have him pilot his boss machines to all fight Sonic all at once?
>>388208672
Probably out of frustration.

"Later" Eggman doesn't have great success with loyalty from his machines due to current Sonic Team constantly wanting to usurp Eggman as the final boss, and Mania showcases he has figured out how to get around that limitation of having older vehicles run off previous battle data.

Metal Sonic is fucking amazing. Say what you will about Sonic, it has some of the absolute best character designs ever created. Sonic himself has a perfect design, and Metal Sonic really doesn't change his design much, but what it does change completely transforms the design from cheerful, confident, heroic, and friendly to cold, unfeeling, and menacing. It's absolutely perfect, Mecha Sonic is really cool too but is less menacing and more overdesigned.
>>388212174
not in every game retard
>>388211814
>>388212174
>>388212468
>>388212639
Each island supposedly has their own set of Chaos Emeralds. In Sonic 3, Sonic is recollecting the Westside Island Emeralds as well as getting the Super Emeralds, which are Angel Islands emeralds.
>>388212627
Why does it have ears
I don't think it's controlled by voice commands
>>388212174
Yeah, the side. It's always a side view.
>>388212917
because he was made to look like Sonic
>>388212917
metal ears would make air-resistance though
>>388212912
That doesn't sound right, in Sonic 3 the Chaos Emeralds turn into the Super Emeralds. The comment was directed at fan art though.
>>388212917
Why does it have eyes
I don't think it's controlled by sign language
>>388213224
That's pretty much contradicted by Mania if we're considering that canon. I don't subscribe to the idea that there's more than one set of emeralds though, for the game reason I don't think there's more than one Sonic because he had a different sprite in 3.
>>388213224
In Mania, you see the Super Emeralds separately in Lava Reef.
>>388209253
It's strange but looking it up it seems like Rocket Metal's moveset is just an assortment of random moves from the rest of the cast and he has a strange victory pose so he's functional but doesn't really have a point I think.
>>388213493
But there are multiple Sonics. How else can you explain how his fur keeps changing color between games?
>>388213493
Mania just changed it because the more diamond-like shape become more iconic and recognizable as the Chaos Emeralds, but that's a different discussion.
>>388212912
South Island also has its own set, which are octogon shaped at the top.
>>388213926
>>388212912
>>388211814
>>388212468
You seriously expect the Chaos emeralds to abide by our laws of petty mortal geometries?
>>388214298
>Chaos Emeralds will never morph between dodecaedron, diamond, crystal fish, and crystal bird
>>388212639
This.
>>388214298
>>388214734
Are you saying the shape of the emeralds is...chaotic?
>>388214861
naturally
>>388214298
They're stones, not blobs of play-doh.
>>388214962
ordinary stones don't power doomsday weapons or turn furries into super saiyans
CD's Metal is best, followed by Sonic the Fighters' one.
>>388179647
I've always preferred Mecha Sonic, probably because S3&K has always been my favorite Sonic game.
>>388212174
It's funny that the chaos emeralds generally aren't in an emerald cut (which is what the sol emeralds are)
I guess Chaos Diamonds doesn't work
>>388211814
>>388212468
Do most of these looks like Dodecahedra to you?
Bitch, look at those group symmetries.
>>388179647
average Metal Sonic has a great, simple design and the tude to match Sonic. Later fakers are still good, but they delve into the territory of being a single-minded not-fun villain just like every "ancient evil" in the Sonic franchise.
mecha sonic is a fucking beast and the best one hands down
>>388216398
Him and Mecha are probably the best. Mecha has a really awesome design and I like how he towers over Knuckles and Sonic. Metal actually seems fast though, and his design is nice and clean.
The rest are super goofy in good and bad ways. What the fuck is that giant fin Metal Sonic and that 3 giant spikes Metal Sonic from?
>>388185079
Why can't they reprogram this dude to be good and playable like Terminator 2?

How do I get into the Sonic the Hedgehog lore/story?
>>388179647
The one with the gun hands in Sonic Adventure that never is actually used by Robotnik.
In all seriousness I'm partial to Rocket Metal Sonic. Not sure why, maybe because he has a fucking rocket attached to his head and was a fun fight in Sonic the Fighters. I also really like the OVA's Metal Sonic. Made the movie awesome even if they ripped the Terminator for his end.
Also you totally didn't include the other fake Sonics: the original Amy Rose, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Silver the Hedgehog. And if you want a copy of a copy: Mephiles the Dark and the Shadow Androids. Oh also the stupid looking Sonic RC Bots from Colors.

Dodecahedron is a 12 sided shape. A decahedron has 10 sides, but the faces aren't pentagons.

Sorry I'm retarded. There was someone posting dodecahedrons earlier and it looks like the same shape as the Blue Spheres sprites to me.

That's Metal Sonic 3.0 from Sonic Rivals 2. He's Eggman Nega's Metal Sonic that he created becauseMetal Sonic was already in the game as a playable character.
