Metonic is not sonadow before shadow exist like they're not even comparable at all because for one: shadow is able to live and grow out of being sonic's faker, metal sonic straight up cannot at all since he is literally created to be copy of sonic, also two: shadow dislikes sonic but he's able to be civil with sonic and respect him, metal sonic absolutely hates sonic where he is violent on sight to sonic and never ever respects sonic (loathsome copy and all that), final three: which pair got an adaptation where the writers decide the two are straight up soulmates that can feel/think the same thing?

Tbh I wish they never gave the mind link thing to mecha sonic 😔 like it’s never going to be brought up again and it’s WAY more interesting with metal.

Arguably Metal can get along with Sonic, as evidenced by the tail end of the metal virus saga, however this was at the instruction of eggman (though I did read a really cute fic where Metal actually makes an effort to be nice to Sonic after he calls him a one-note jerk) and it appears that this hatred is so hardcoded into him that it almost overrides the “obey eggman” thing.

Considering he had that slight realization in the special when he touched the metal virus goop, there IS a possibility they could pull another Neo where he breaks free of his coding again and potentially becomes his own person
