Metal Sonic: Imperfect Self (character overview)

Hello again! Last time I did an overview of Eggman Nega, so this time I chose a character even closer to Dr. Eggman himself: Metal Sonic. This post aims to be a short analysis of the character, his motivations and what makes him so interesting as a foil to Sonic's free spirit.

Purpose. Identity. Sonic.

Introduced in Sonic CD, Metal Sonic was built by Dr. Eggman and given one sole purpose: destroying Sonic. Operating under the twisted belief that he is the real, true Sonic, Metal constantly tries to prove his superiority to his "imperfect self" in contests of speed, coming back stronger each time.

Metal Sonic continues to analyze the situation as he runs after him. He has been unable to beat Sonic since the first match. He has the best performance and a tireless body of steel. There are plenty of factors that make him unbeatable. And yet, he can’t win. Why? Why can’t he beat a hedgehog that just runs fast… And then… A rustle of electrons rippled through this sea of AI cognitive threads. …Isn’t that because he’s “just fast”? (Translation by @browniestash!)

Metal Sonic occasionally shows some doubt or insecurity in his sole mission, but ultimately never gives up, analyzing gathered data to rethink his strategy and come back as more of a threat than ever. And Sonic is more than happy to take the challenge.

He’s already sent out a distress signal. Help will be arriving soon and he will be recovered at Eggman’s base. If he can connect to the base’s main computer and analyze today’s data, he should be able to win the next round. There will be room to rethink his inhibitory behavior and attack patterns, as well as to sharpen his focus on speed. He can still reach a higher dimension. There is someone with whom he must determine who is better in that dimension… (Translation by @browniestash!)

Stripped of free will

While Sonic is, most of the time, the only thing in Metal Sonic's mind, he does have another relationship of great importance to his character: the one with his master and creator, Dr. Eggman.

Regularly filling the role of Eggman's silent enforcer, Metal Sonic holds a much higher status than most Badniks in the Eggman Empire, being among his favorite creations. He is a tool, sure, but he's undoubtedly one of his best tools.

Metal Sonic remains the peak [of my machinery]....

Though, of course, this has little effect on his treatment of the metal doppelganger. As a general trait of Eggman's, while he is very much capable of praising his robots in the event they succeed...

...The doctor will offer them less than humane treatment when met with failure.

Seeing fault in his boss' leadership, Metal Sonic would reach his breaking point in Sonic Heroes, modifying himself into Neo Metal Sonic and taking charge of the Eggman Empire. Perhaps he thought that, with him in charge, the empire would finally be able to wipe out its opposition. More specifically, to wipe out Sonic the Hedgehog. Curiously, Metal Sonic here also aims to take over the world, though this may be a consequence of his will being "attuned" to Dr. Eggman's.

This attempt at overtaking his creator's empire fails, and Eggman takes this opportunity to strip Metal Sonic of his free will and turn him into an obedient robot once more. Despite his attempts, it would seem Metal still has some remaining autonomy, seeing as he'd double-cross Eggman once more in the future.

Conclusion

And that's Metal Sonic. A relentless robot with a single objective and a lot of hatred, who aims to prove his superiority and destroy his rival but is, as he sees it, held back by the lead of his creator. I've been meaning to write about this for a while, seeing as there's been a lot of interpretations of his motives floating around and it’s a character I find fascinating.

Been rewatching your video breaking down Eggman's relationship with his creations, and I keep thinking about this little-known detail in the first Sonic Riders:

You know the E-10000 robots? Well, according to the Japanese promotional website for Sonic Riders, E-10000R was built by Eggman using parts from Metal Sonic.

Yes, Metal was apparently gutted for parts to make one of Eggman's line of Mook robots. And given that this is post-Heroes (and pre-Rivals), methinks that speaks volumes, don't you?

Oh my god wtf lol. I love how not only is it messed up and cruel to essentially gut Metal for parts some time after his betrayal like "fuck you I don't need you right now but you're a good set of parts to use in my newest creations for increased mobility" and how he used them in a robot for Extreme Gear riding built to look like himself as well. His cruelty in snatching them from Metal and using them in a robot made in his image instead of Sonic's again like Metal. Peak cruelty AND selfishness and self-centeredness 💜

Well no wonder Metal ended up betraying Eggman again later in Free Riders by disguising himself as a E-100000 robot! I was always wondering if another reason could be applied beyond how he's already betrayed him once. I'm going with this now. Makes perfect sense for Metal to be pissed off with Eggman showing how much his value and worth specifically lies in his internal parts and use to Eggman, and how easily he can remove those to use in something else and discard the shell of Metal whenever he wants.

And I bet that with the first time with Heroes, Eggman's terrible treatment of him from the start played a part there too. While there's often never much of a reason for monster of the week villains that Eggman summoned to just suddenly betray, there's always a reason for his own creations/robots and it's always how terribly he treats them, the lack of freedom, and realizing they could have it better. I have no doubt that this applies to Metal too, as much as it does Gamma and others but he can't truly escape Eggman's control.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I love how Eggman always just keeps continuing to show how cruel and fucked up of a creator he is that sees his creations as nothing more than their use in serving him and how he'll easily do whatever fucked up shit he pleases to them to get what he wants 🥰💕
