(CW: Scrapnik Island spoilers, Suicidical ideation)

Even if the mind transfer succeeded, without any awkward adjustment period, Mecha Sonic would not be able to escape from the island alive.

Sonic's ankle was busted. Mecha knew this. He saw that Sonic couldn't go fast for very long in that state. While the robot have never experienced pain the same way organics do, he can still expect it to be a hindrance, with how much Sonic was flinching every time he put his weight on it. This is the guy who are used to walk away from explosive fights while decorated with cuts and bruises on his body and a smug grin on his face. This injury must be worse than than usual.

Unfortunately, Mecha can't afford to wait for the leg to heal. It won't take long for the other Scrapniks & Tails to figure out what he did to Sonic and Mecha Knuckles, and try to stop him. While Sonic alone can (and did) easily beat up any badnik, there's no way he can take on every Scrapnik on this island, including Tails, with an injured body. There was no place for him to hide and wait it out either. The scrapniks have already scavenged every inch of this island to turn it into a home.

Therefore, Mecha would have to start running as soon the mind transfer is complete.

The thing is, can he maintain the speed needed to run across the ocean all the way to another landmass, with that ankle?

Mecha Sonic likely knew that Sonic can't swim. His fear of water is well-known and is not something Eggman would ignore. Even if it is technically possible, Sonic rarely ever run across water for a reason.

Maybe, deep down, Mecha Sonic is ok with one last failure. He wouldn't mind if he drowned on his way off the island, as long as he's not doing it as a rusted pile of trash, living together with other trash, who are all clinging on the false hope that a hunk of junk is going to fly them away from this island into some magical land filled with people who are not going to destroy these ex-badniks on sight.

He's going to put matters into his own hands, and die trying. Hopefully, before the guilt of his betrayal really sets in.

From the moment of the Big Bang, everything else that happened afterwards occured for this fanart to be created.

The stars alligned so perfectly that I had a mini existential crisis over it.

I drew Rain Code characters with that one meme because it just fit too well.
