My crazy crazy theory for Sonic 4

Believe me, I have a crazy CRAZY theory (and I'm aware that it's very unlikely to happen, I'm just doing it for fun)

With the post-credits scene, we have seen Metal Sonic, it is curious that it is not just 1, but a lot of them. SEGA generally prefers Metal Sonic to be treated as a unique individual and not a mass-produced model. Although there have been exceptions (such as in Sonic Heroes, with multiple Metal Sonics) So, there is no explicit rule that says "there can only be one Metal Sonic" in every media.

Why in Sonic 3 post credit scene, whe can see multiple Metal Sonic?

These mechas look more like Metal Sonic 3.0 design than the main Metal Sonic, they have a darker color and yellow/amber details. It's probably they get a slight redesign for the next movie, it already happened with Tails and Shadow. Who is mass producing these models? Maybe, it's G.U.N, taking a preventive measure against potentially dangerous aliens (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow). Using Sonic's quills. BUT the most powerful models gets self-awareness, believing that it is the real Sonic. That's why he'll hunt Sonic using his "brothers" and proving HE is the real one.

Special mention for "Imitadora" by Romeo Santos, I need it for Sonic 4 sountrack.

Metal Sonic Breaking Point?

How does Metal reach a breaking point? With "Me pica un pulmón" ("My lung itches" in english) Of course!

Why?... It's obvious, Metal is not an organic being. If in any point in the plot, Sonic is injured, Metal can enter an identity crisis, a mecha cannot breathe or feel. That breaking point would lead him to become Metal Overlord. To have that power he would absorb his "brothers".

One of the Mecha Sonic 3.0 models can rebel against its programming and become part of our heroes' team. This being the possible return of one of my favorite characters in the Archie comics: Shard the metal, a rebel metal sonic.

It's that or it's just a dream that Sega is not going to fulfill for me.

SOME THOUGHTS that drivin me nuts ...

You know I think Shards character could have need so much more character development. Like for all the trauma and insecurities he had/has to endure ... in a world, which hold (atleast a little) grudge against artifical life ... due to Eggman.

He was a famous killer robot. Mocking animals ... maybe killing them?? I know Sonic universe ... kid friendly and stuff, but these sharp fingers aren't there for nothing ... He might was causing a bad future, where every living thing is a robotic slave ... he saw how the Eggman Empire could have been. And now he tries everything to adjust to the "good side". Finding a place in the world. Seeking for forgiveness and a chance to prove himself.

Maybe he even can't move on from this. Alwayd playing the brave clown, while he's actually scared and frustrated. He probably stuck in his past. Always confronting himself, blaming himself ... Everytime he looks in the mirror he might not even see his current appearance ... just this menacing stare ...

Also, what I believe to recognize is that Eggman seems to got softer over the years. You know like in the beginning he hated nature, life itself and Sonic (of course) so much, that he just wanted to destroy everything. But nowadays it seems he has fun challenging the rodents. It's more of a game ... So I thought it would be interesting if his designs were gettin "softer" too.

And Shard might has the trauma of failing. Never won a battle alongside Eggman. Never enough for Eggman. Constant failure. Everytime reprogrammed. Everytime upgraded. Yeah of course does he want to constantly prove himself.

And yes then there is the fear of abandonment. One mistake and you're just scrap. Trash. You will be left to rot. Nobody will help you, repair you and give you a second chance ... and with Chuck exactly giving him this second chance, he might be really afraid that this hedgehog, this father figure, will also leave him, when he fails.

Oh and then maybe sometimes ... old habits sneak through. I also think there is this fear to go back to his old ways. No control about his "darker side".

I just love these redeeming characters. They try their best 💖

Sonictober2023 Day 17! Theme: Feeling.

“I’m… Sonic? No, that’s not right… am I Metal Sonic? Accept no imitations… but am I an imitation? An improvement? What are these feelings? Why do I HAVE feelings? I… I… what am I…?”
