==Summary==
Metal Sonic (v3.0) is an antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics.
It is a powerful Badnik based on Sonic the Hedgehog that was created by Dr. Eggman to serve as the ultimate match for Sonic. It went through many body and repeatedly saw destruction over and over again by the heroes, even by Robotnik Prime's original Metal Sonic, Shard.
