Hyper Metal Sonic

THERE IS ONLY ONE SONIC...
 — Metal's first and last line before his demise.

**Hyper Metal Sonic (ハイパーメタルソニック *Haipā Metaru Sonikku)*** commonly known as **Metal (メタル *Metaru*)** or **Metal Sonic (メタルソニック *Metaru Sonikku)*** is an anti-hero in the film *Sonic The Hedgehog: The Movie*. At first he was a simple robot meant for destruction, made by the evil scientist, Dr. Robotnik. He was designed to be a replica of the real deal, Sonic the Hedgehog and was sent into battle. However, in time, Metal had a more passive-aggressive character.

## History

### Past

Metal Sonic appeared first in Robotnik's lab, disabled and Robotnik's greatest creation yet. He was being made to destroy Sonic and the Land of The Sky. After being created, Robotnik only needed Sonic's life data to make the prototype complete.

### Sonic VS. Metal Sonic!!

After blowing up the generator, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles see a large strange sphere. Flashing lights, generating green electricity and clouds surrounding it. In it, the robot replica gains sentience, trying to stand. Once he does, the ball explodes and Metal stands in front of Sonic as the smoke cleared. Metal Robotnik's destroyed remains appear, from it emerges Sara and Dr. Robotnik. Sonic tries to attack him, but Metal confronts him, blocking his way. Robotnik starts to explain Metal Sonic's creation, but Tails believes that the replica is weak against the actual Sonic. Robotnik extracted Sonic's data when Sonic was trapped in the green cage he was in. He plots to destroy Sonic first so he can destroy the Land of The Sky. Robotnik's Robot Guards capture Sara and Sonic demands him to let her go, but Robotnik orders him to fight Metal first.

#### Fight

Metal prepares his engine and blasts off in the air, he descends quickly onto Sonic, destroying a huge chunk of the floor. Sonic dodges his attack and tries to dash away, but Metal follows. They now fight as two blurs bumping into each other, punch after punch. As Sonic rises upwards, Metal chases him and traps him in a bubble whilst Sonic is unconscious. He bursts outside Robotropolis, taking Sonic with him. Sonic escapes from the bubble and Metal sets chase. Trying to attack him, both hedgehogs keep dodging. Sonic lands on a mountain, stressed. He looks up and sees Metal plummet at him, in front of Sonic, upside down, he turns around and heavily kicks Sonic into the forest. Looking down, he scans if Sonic is still alive. On his view, Sonic's heartbeat stops and features little drawings of Metal's victory and Sonic's death, with Tails mourning. Metal arrives at the beach, approaching Old Man Owl, who was sitting on Sonic's beach chair.

### North Pole

Metal arrives at the North Pole, about to melt glaciers to destroy the Land of The Sky. He has beaten Sonic after all. In the air, In the air, Metal Sonic plunges quickly into the ground, causing an eruption of magma. Unfortunately for him, he scans Sonic, coming for him. From the ground he emerges under Sonic's shoes. They dash apart. The two come to an agreement that there is only one Sonic, and they continue their battle. They land on ice and snow, brawling to be the ultimate Sonic. They then zoom at eachoter, head to head. They launch into the air. Metal gets his head stuck in the Egg Mobile of his creator and accidentally views Sara "privacy". Sara stomps him and Robotnik tries to capture Sonic, but Sonic hangs onto Metal and slips down, causing Sara to fall. Metal keeps holding Sonic in the air, until Tails attacks Metal with his Tornado.

As Sonic jumps off ice, Metal does too and fights him mid-air. When Sara shouts at him, Metal gets distracted and Sonic kicks him down. Sonic tries to crawl out the hole he kicked Metal into, but Metal kicks Sonic all the way to the other side. He picks up Sonic, choking him. Sara tries to hurt Metal, but nothing works. However, Tails corrupts Metal's data and Sonic spins into him. The president crashes into the ice bridge and Sonic and Tails try to save him, but Metal separates them, he forbids Sonic to step any further to save the president. Tails tries to do the same action he did before, but Robotnik breaks Tails' navigator. Metal storms at Sonic again, but instead hits the Egg Mobile of Dr. Robotnik. Sonic races Metal around the landscape whilst Knuckles tries to come out various holes. He accidentally gets stepped on by Sonic, who was still running from his counterpart. Metal, with Sonic on his head, takes him upward, launching into the president's ship, but instead, Metal gets fired into the ship and causes it to lift up. He tries to fly to Sonic, but gets punt by him, straight into the ships window. An explosion happens, blowing everyone away.

### Death

Metal flies slowly out of the hot mess, rescuing the president and Old Man Owl. He drops him onto the rest and gets hit by debris, into the volcano. Sonic drops himself in, trying to save his replica. Metal crawls up, only for him to slap Sonic's hand and telling him that there is only one. The magma rises and Metal sinks into it, resulting him into dying.

After his passing, Robotnik tells him he still has Metal's data on a CD, so he can still plot his evilness, but, one of Robotnik's design failures catches the CD, exploding it.

## Appearance

Metal Sonic is an exact copy of the original, his blue color is an example, but even though, he comes with a few (many) touches. For example: his spiky and shiny nose and black colored eyes with red, computer-generated iris'. He also has a jet on his back and gray arms, overlapped by blue gauntlets. His replicated muzzle, which Sonic also has, is also colored gray.

## Trivia

* The second model (Metal Sonic v2.5) incarnation of the character Shard the Metal Sonic from the Archie Comics' *Sonic the Hedgehog* comic series was burned in lava similarly to how Hyper Metal Sonic was.
* The term "Hyper" does not mean "Speed", but actually "More", meaning that his name is actually "More Metal Sonic".
