#Mr. Tinker

[uselesstaroth]

IDW's habit of dropping half pages that let me read way too deep into a character is a habit that exists

It's a good habit.

It's bad for me.

Also

Good face.

Something I remember some people talking about infrequently but never expanded on.

What if Eggman stayed as Mr. Tinker…

And what if the Metal Virus still happened?

Think about it like this, Starline has just been denied by his hero “Eggman” after bringing his memory back but he decides to stay as Mr. Tinker. In an attempt to push Tinker into the Eggman role he goes to his most recent project, the Metal Virus, and uses like in cannon thinking that Eggman would see his success and take control… only for Starline to immediately lose his control.

Cut to Sonic running around, trying to save his friends who he can’t touch or he’ll infect them, ending up at windmill village. Running across more zombots before seeing Eggman and Belle ether cowering or protecting the kids. The same Eggman he was regretting letting go because he thought (and to a degree still thinks) he did this.

Now imagine being Mr. Tinker, your worst project of a life you want to forget is rampaging through the world, your friends are all caught up in it, and your old arch nemesis is there, infected, and doesn’t know if you got your memory back. You did, but he thinks if you did you would be behind everything.

So much character potential

"Oh dear, I do hope I am doing this right. How could anyone do such a thing to people without proper consent? It's down right criminal is what it is," Mr. Tinker said as he finished up with the last of the cybernetics. Honestly, this was all a bit of a rush to the tinkerer, at least given how he, for lack of a better word, escaped from Eggman's mind. That was going to require a lot of explaining when he was found at some point.

Mr. Tinker would set the tool aside as he finished and 'activated' the other. Ugh, it made his stomach turn to think of it like that, though at least this one he was able to save with less cybernetics. The state he found her in was far better than the other one which required making an entire metal body, despite his best efforts to avoid such a thing. Right now he should focus on making sure she was okay. "Excuse, can you hear me properly? Oh, I do hope I did this right. All of this is still a bit new to me." He may have Eggman's memories, though this still felt so foreign to him.

Mr. Tinker

[uselesstaroth]

Villain!Amy meets Mr. Tinker.

Desperately doesn't want him to remember his time as Eggman.

Mostly because him being happy makes Metal happy.

But also because he'd be competition, and she'd rather keep him in Windmill Village rather than a cell.

She is very fond of Belle though

Here's yet another oneshot, set after Restoring Metal Sonic this time. :3

Enjoy!

"Oh, um, I do hope you'll forgive me if I have no memory of you or the Super Genesis Wave, though just from the name I can only assume the universe was, in a sense reset." Mr. Tinker may not be apart of Eggman's mind anymore, though he was still on equal footing in terms of intelligence it seems. However, the tinkerer didn't seem pleased by the mention of him losing so ambition.

"With all due respect Julian, I don't think I've lost any ambition in the slightest. I do wish to make the world a better place, though have on desire to rule it. If you ask me the main goal is to do all we can with the time we have." Mr. Tinker just couldn't understand Eggman's obsession with wanting to rule the world and turn everything robotic.

"My type? I... suppose I've never thought of that. I'm not sure anyone would be interested in an old tinkerer like myself, ohoho."

[universalzones]

"I suppose you didn't though you do seem willing to at least listen to someone try to reason. As for your statement about turning good, that's already been proven. I'll admit it isn't ideal that you only turned good because of memory lose, though I do recall for a brief moment even you considered remaining as Mr. Tinker, which Sonic pointed out as well."

"Now to your point about the data, it honestly proves to me Sonic is more of a threat than you believe. The fact he can bounce back no matter what even after such a long time in confinement and more than likely becoming rusty shows to me you may never win. However, I will admit that data can back up on your success, though you've also proven you can be the cause of your own destruction. The Metal Virus is proof of that. Not to mention you have beings like Shadow who I believe have a reduced aging process and Silver time traveling. Despite all that I still don't wish harm to come to you. I believe you can change if you wish to."

" And that's just the thing! I didn't ask you. Why? Because you're an inferior version of myself that I've been forced to become aware of. Even Eggman Nega has the decency to disappear when I'm sick of seeing him. But you? HA! You just have to stick around, don't you? Making people think I can turn good? It's insulting! "

" Not to mention the fact you attempt to come to conclusions without the full data set at hand, hm? Because as far as you can tell, I am destined to lose forever. But from all I've seen? I keep getting closer every time I launch my grand campaigns to conquer the world. The first time I did it, what the world now calls the 'Robotnik War' resulted in me conquering roughly 57% of the world and constructing the Death Egg before that meddlesome Sonic got in my way. Then, my second grand conquest, what is now called the 'Great Egg War' resulted in me conquering 99% of the entire planet and almost removing Sonic from the equation for good. Tell me, what does that data suggest to you? "
