Metal Sonic

Metal Sonic, also known as Big Bro, Mecha Sonic, Metal and Ultimate Overlord, is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
== Charactah Account ==
Eggman's premiere creation and robotic replica of Sonic, Metal Sonic is a cold-hearted killing machine designed to not only match but exceed his fleshy counterpart's speed and power in every way, later gaining the ability to analyze and imitate the data of any lifeform he sees.
Despite constant defeats, Metal Sonic is a stubbornly persistent recurring foe of Sonic, dead-set on one day destroying his "imperfect self" and proving himself to be "the real Sonic", even having gone against his master on a couple occasions to accomplish such despite his otherwise stellar track record.

== Trivia ==
* In promotional art for Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Metal Sonic's irises were red, but in the game, they are grey (or yellow during his V. Maximum Overdrive Attack).
* Metal Sonic has a mouth on the cover of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. Interestingly, this even applies in the game's remakes.
* The help file included with the Windows 95 version of Sonic the Hedgehog CD claims that some early material refers to Metal Sonic as "Mecha Sonic". This is considered a mistake.
* In the early Western release of Sonic & Knuckles, Mecha Sonic Mk. II was also named "Metal Sonic". In the Japanese version, this robot was instead called "Mecha Sonic", and this was later used for the western version many years later.
* In the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Metal Sonic's winning animation mistakenly shows him with green eyes instead of red.
* Metal Sonic was planned to appear as a boss in the cancelled Sega Saturn game, Sonic X-treme. Like the game's other bosses, his appearance in this game was unusually large in order to make him easier to hit. Due to this game's cancellation, Metal Sonic didn't get a Sega Saturn appearance until Sonic R. Metal Sonic is the only boss in Sonic X-treme whose 3D model was found in the Sega Saturn SDK.
* Metal Sonic rarely speaks. His voice is only heard during Sonic Heroes while in any of his transformations (Neo Metal Sonic, Metal Madness and Metal Overlord, as well as when he is disguised as Eggman).
** Interestingly, Metal Sonic also shares Sonic's voice actor from this time, Ryan Drummond.
* Metal Sonic is the only Sega character who appears in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, but not in the Wii release of Sonic Colors.
* Metal Sonic has more alternate forms than any other antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
* In the Sonic Riders series, Metal Sonic is the only playable robot that is not limited to one type of Extreme Gear.
* In the game Spiral Knights, players who purchased a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog CD on Steam before 31 January 2012 received a Metal Sonic costume for their knight. This costume was also available to purchase in-game.
* There is evidence to support that Metal Sonic was at one point going to appear in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and even be playable, but at some point was scrapped. Said evidence can be found in unused text found in the game's files.
* In Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, Metal Sonic is one of four characters to drive an ATV; the other three are Beat, Knuckles, and Joe Musashi.
* Oddly enough, Metal Sonic can drown when he is played in Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, despite being a robot and therefore not requiring air. This may be due to how in this title, he is based on Sonic in all but his model.
* In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, if one player plays as Shadow and the other as Metal Sonic, his shoes will produce the light from his jet-boosters whenever Shadow runs/jumps.
* According to a Twitter post by Shiro Maekawa, Metal Sonic was among the characters originally planned to playable and was going to be part of a team consisting of him, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. This implies he was not originally going to be the main antagonist.
* Metal Sonic is one of the four Eggman robots who betrayed their creator, the other three being Gamma, Gemerl, and Omega.
** Out of all of them, Metal Sonic is the only one who hadn't turned good.
* According to Kazuyuki Hoshino, Metal Sonic idles in his spare time.
