Metal Sonic is my personal comfort character

combine it with the fact that my edits are usually influenced by my current moods and boom, you get a somewhat angry Metal Sonic icon

metal/neo metal sonic ramble

never not thinking about how robots in idw have text like this

but neo metal sonic has the same text as all the organic characters

he also expresses clear emotion just like an organic person would, if not with a bit more robotic logic behind it [save when hes in a blind rage]

HE EVEN EVILLY LAUGHS AT ONE POINT

neo metal is proof that metal is VERY MUCH CAPABLE OF EMOTIONS LIKE ANY ORGANIC [if it wasnt already obvious when he's just metal] i think its sooo crazy that IDW shows metal is the most 'human' out of all the eggman robots yet he's arguably treated the worst, not even being able to Speak in his standard form.

ik sonic is just being his usual dick self here but he kinda has a point in a way. metal almost definitely WANTS to be able to talk and express himself. but he's reduced to his lesser, albeit still very powerful, form.

oh and don't even get me started...

it's so sad to me how even though he's still very capable of emotion, eggman has literally programmed out any hint of rebelliousness. like sure, it's most likely that even if eggman HADN'T programmed out metal's rebellious streak, he'd still be evil, but this leaves not even a CHANCE for redemption on metal's part.

which makes it even more ironic that sonic says this...

sonic fails to comprehend that metal literally CANNOT become a better person. eggman literally repeats what neo already told sonic, metal is programmed to kill and to be loyal to eggman. he has NO choice. hes been under eggmans control forever and when he rebelled he was beaten and reprogrammed to never be able to rebel again. metal has basically zero autonomy outside of eggman's orders [which is in great contrast to neo, who seems to be working FOR eggman's wishes, but still very much absorbed in his own power and emotions].

i don't really know what this whole ramble is about. i think while the comics seem to push the message that metal is going to be evil Forever, i also think it would be devastatingly tragic if he didn't get a redemption in the comics. y'all cant set up a horrifying depiction of abuse like this and tell me 'oh yeah and he stayed in that state forever'. i think if another fight happened at one point or another maybe they could TRY to figure out how to program OUT his anti rebellion streak? lol? even WITH that he did hesitate when sonic offered for him to be a good person again.

he literally hesitated when SONIC. IS THE ONE WHO OFFERED HIM A TRUCE. like he's literally programmed to believe sonic is his copy and he needs to kill him I don't think i can understate how insane it is that metal, despite all his programming and lack of automomy preventing it, for a split second, considered sonics offer.

thats all for tonight. metal sonic deserves the whole world. please reblog or comment your thoughts id love to talk more abt how hes characterized in the idw comics, might talk abt reflections next. bye !

SUPER METAL SONIC'S DESIGN IN IDW GOES FUCKIN HARD

[uselesstaroth]

I can't find the post and I'm really upset about it so I'm gonna make my own post.

Anyway

In Sonic IDW, robots have speech bubbles like this

Gemerl, Omega, Orbot Cubot, they're like this

However

Neo Metal Sonic talks with normal speech bubbles, as if he's an organic being.

That's very significant, it shows how advanced he is compared to even Omega or Gemerl.

However.

There's one other robot that talks with regular speech bubbles.

Unlike every other robot, but just like the extremely powerful, partially biological, shapeshifting, main villain of an entire arc, Neo Metal Sonic

Belle the Tinkerer has regular speech bubbles.

I find that extremely meaningful.

Edit: found the post!

Metal enjoyers I love robotic talk Metal as much as the rest of you but I think we as a fandom need to make her a sassy mean overly dramatic bitch more often because wtf is this

Like she is SO shockingly emotive (while still being kinda robotic in tone) when she’s actually allowed to vocalize her thoughts.

Like the faces and body language she threw out while pretending to be Eggman?

The dramatic ass “I rehearsed this in the mirror” shit she says as Super Neo?

The talk back and sass she spits at Sonic?

I wanna see more of that I find this shit delectable

It’s not like the attitude and emotion completely vanishes after going back to her normal form either

Plenty more cases than that, there’s like a TON of panels where she looks super pissed off, but I’ve littered this post with enough images
