Metal Sonic Does Not Think He Is Sonic

So it is come for fans to depict Metal Sonic as thinking he is the real Sonic and not actually knowing he is a robot. This however, isn't the case.

In Sonic Heroes we get to hear Metal Sonic speak and he says the following lines. "How appropriate to have a robot overlord rule a robot kingdom." "I am the ultimate overlord, Metal Sonic." "I am the real Sonic" "Sonic I was created for the sole purpose of destroying you. But I can never seem to defeat you, that is why I transformed my own body with my own hands." "Long time no see Sonic, my lowsome copy."

Now one might think Metal saying he is the real Sonic and calling Sonic a lowsome copy is him thinking he is the actual Sonic. However, Metal calls himself a robot and acknowledges he was created to destroy Sonic thus acknowledging Sonic came before him. Alongside referring to himself as Metal Sonic and Sonic as Sonic. So the lines of him calling himself the real Sonic and Sonic the copy isn't about him not thinking he is a robot or created. So what is it?

Well he mentions transforming his body with his own hands calling himself the ultimate overlord. What is clear is Metal is saying he is better than Sonic and has surpassed him while trying to claim Sonic is basically a copy compared to him. In other words the better Sonic, the real Sonic.

This is furthered back up by his descriptions about him trying to get the better of Sonic, alongside other info about him wishing to beat Sonic in a race to prove his superiority to Sonic. Even possibly through intelligence which Eggman of course gave him. Olympic Games 2012: "He's out to get the better of Sonic and makes sure all of the Gold Medals are his." Sonic Channel: "Metal Sonic's purpose in existence, or identity, is to 'defeat Sonic,' but since he was made to resemble Sonic, that victory must be 'a victory by overwhelming him in terms of speed.'" + "Since he was made to resemble Sonic, he cannot truly win unless he can overwhelm Sonic's trademark 'speed'…that may be the logic at work. On the other hand, Sonic calls Metal Sonic "Metal," and although he is a formidable opponent, he seems to enjoy battling him as a worthy rival. Metal Sonic is the only one who is so obsessed with speed and who challenges him to a showdown for superiority. Even though he is his enemy, there is a good chance that he respects him as a fellow speed freak. Metal Sonic will no doubt continue to appear before Sonic as a fearsome foe and challenge him to a fight again and again."

In a way "Eggman's answer to nature's perfect hero" is also inspired by Sonic like everyone else is, but inversed.

I believe the main reason people think Metal Sonic believes he is a robot is because of Hyper Metal Sonic from the Sonic OVA thinks he is Sonic.

SEGA Mandates explained with their exceptions (Old)

Edit: (Plan on remaking this with a better format and sources, along with ones I missed)

Edit 2: Here's the New One

Game characters cannot have family members unless they were established in the game canon (Because Archie went overboard).

Game characters cannot be killed off.

Sonic cannot cry or get too emotional.

Exception: Sonic Prime didn't follow this rule despite being canon.

The terms Mobius and Mobians are banned, during the early 2010s, Earth was called "Sonic's World" because they wanted to appeal to 90s Boomers who hate Sonic living on Earth without calling it Mobius, it died down later though.

Exception: Ian Flynn has stated SEGA recanonized Sonic Spinball, which takes place in Mobius, so it exists somewhere in game canon, Veg-O-Fortress even has a cameo in Sonic Origins, Ian also stated Spinball takes place in between Sonic 3 and Knuckles and Sonic 3D Blast.

The heroes must always win at the end.

Characters and elements from Non Canon media cannot be used, Cosmo and the Metarex were potentially allowed to appear but according Ian Flynn, they're off the table now, the Metal Virus serves as a replacement for Robotization, Eggperial City serves as a replacement for Robotropolis, Restoration serves as a replacment for the Freedom Fighters.

Exceptions:

Sonic liking Chili Dogs (90s Cartoons)

Eggman's "I hate that Hedgehog!" and "Snooping as usual" lines (Aosth)

Scratch and Grounder appear in Eggman's livestream in one of the covers for IDW 40

Sonic's "Let's do it, to it" line (Satam)

Sonic being referred to as the "Fastest thing alive" (Satam)

Sonic Spinball being canon again, somwhat canonizes Sally, Bunnie, Rotor, Muttski and Scratch, Ian Flynn has clarified they're just cameos for now but could be a backdoor to make them canon if SEGA chooses to (Aosth, Satam, Archie)

In one of the covers for IDW 31, Storm's mugshot mentions he was arrested by the Knothole Village Police (Satam, Archie)

Tails being afraid of lightning (OVA)

Knuckles's cowboy hat (OVA)

Vector's crush on Vanilla (Sonic X)

Cream's favorite show, the NEXT Show (Sonic X)

The Chaotix Office building appears in the Sonic Channel Comics (Sonic X)

Sticks the Badger appears in the Sonic Channel Comics and is mentioned in English Sonic Frontiers (Sonic Boom)

The Eggnet has been canonized in both IDW and the Games (Archie)

The GUN Commander's name, Abraham Tower (Archie)

Bark being mute (Archie)

Bean and Bark working with Fang as a trio, Sonic even calls them the Hooligans (Archie)

Sally and Bunnie cameo in one of the Sonic Forces prequel comics with their Archie designs (Archie)

Shadow's Chaos Spear being shaped like an actual spear that he can throw or use as a melee weapon (Archie)

Badniks from Sonic Mega Drive appear in Classic IDW (Archie)

The term, Super Badnik (Archie)

Male characters that aren't humans, can't wear pants.

Exception: Tails Nine is allowed to wear pants.

Classic Era characters aren't allowed to appear in Modern Era and vice versa, during the 2010s there was the Two Dimensions retcon because of it, however they later removed it, Team Chaotix are also not allowed to appear in Classic because they considered Sonic Heroes to be their first appearance, however Knuckles Chaotix was recanonized in Tailstube, in the same episode, they acknowledge Mighty, Ray and Fang's Gang and teased a Modern Trip, recently, SEGA is considering retiring Classic Sonic after the disappointment of Sonic Superstars.

Exception: a Classic Froggy appears in various Sonic PICT artwork

Only one Metal Sonic is allowed, not multiple (They must really dislike Shard and Metallix)

Exceptions:

Metal Sonic 3.0 from Sonic Rivals 2

Chaos Sonic and Grim Sonic from Sonic Prime were allowed

Shadow: He has the most guidelines out of any character, most of them come from SEGA wanting Shadow to remain an Anti-Hero and not be too heroic, however SEGA has easied up on these with Shadow Generations

Knuckles: Knuckles is the only Echidna and only resident of Angel Island besides Chao and Baby Animals, (Ken Penders lol), Knuckles is also not allowed leave Angel Island without a reason now, prolly due to critiques with games like Heroes

Silver: Silver's Future is off limits, only SEGA can explore that, if they ever choose to

Super Forms: Male hedgehogs are the only ones allowed to go Super, this has been changed with Sonic Superstars and Otherworld Comedy.

Humans: Due to complaints from 90s Boomers, Humans besides Eggman weren't allowed until Shadow Generations

Romance: Characters can have crushes but they can't date or get married.

Money: Only Team Chaotix can talk about money

Rings: Ian Flynn was told Rings were no longer canon, however Rings appear in Sonic Prime and cutscenes in The Final Horizon, which Ian didn't know about

Special Stages: No longer canon and Fang's bio of living in the Special Stages is retconned

Off Limits Characters: These characters can only be used by SEGA/Sonic Team only:

Eggman Nega

Black Doom

Solaris (Mephiles and Iblis)

Infinite

I think that's what makes him the Perfect villain because unlike with Sonic's other enemies, he rejects EVERYTHING that has to do with Sonic, including his compassion, he would rather die than to accept Sonic's hand because to him, Sonic is weak, he doesn't Want to be redeemed, he KNOWS he's evil and will continue to be so until Sonic is just another creature underneath his heel, he sees everything he stands for as obsolete and therefore considers himself the BETTER version because HE doesn't hold back or try to redeem people, his entire purpose is just to KILL, CONQUER, and DESTROY, he has no room for emotion or any other humanlike trait, he is robotnik's greatest creation because he doesn't disobey and is only done what he is told, and even when he DID get a consciousness and turned against robotnik, he never changed who he was and still continued to be evil. I hope they take heavy inspiration from this film in Sonic 4 because this is literally the PERFECT way to do metal Sonic, and I just know the movie's is gonna do great things with this character because he's literally never talked about enough, plus this movie is SERIOUSLY underrated 😅

For those who missed the OVA AU (o sea yo)

High quality vid under the cut

[pedanticat]

In Sonic 2 and Sonic 3, Sonic reached out a hand of friendship to a foe with them accepting it. So imagine how emotionally devastating it will be when Sonic does the same thing again in Sonic 4 only for Metal to slap Sonic hand away.

Did you guys know that I am deeply fond of them? Yeag

[enbi-fiend]

Ova Sonic being sad because his Metal Sonic died and wishing he saved him with his Tails comforting him then it flashes to Movie Sonic saving a damaged Metal Sonic and him going “I’m not leaving you behind!! YOU DESERVE TO LIVE!” (Movie Sonic succeeding where ova Sonic failed)

I don't take requests, dude. However
