Metal Knuckles

## Bio

**Metal Knuckles** is a character that appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. He is a robot created by Dr. Robotnik in the image of Knuckles the Echidna. He was used during the first World Grand Prix incident to counter Knuckles' participation.

## Appearance

Metal Knuckles was created in the image of Knuckles the Echidna and is thus mostly built of red metal. He possesses a round head, a medium-long metallic gray muzzle with a pointy gray nose and has green eyes with black sclerae and pupils. He also has five long strips of red metal with joints and white intake tips extending downward from the sides and back of his head which are meant to resemble Knuckles' dreadlocks. Metal Knuckles possesses a red ellipsoid torso with a rectangular intake with a white rim on his chest and a rocket exhaust on his rear. Meanwhile, his arms consist of gray upper arms, red forearms, and long and thick paws with two gray and sharp claws for fingers, white rims around the claws, and yellow circles on the back of the paws. Metal Knuckles similarly has gray upper legs and red lower legs. Lastly, he has two feet resembling Knuckles' shoes, complete with a red color scheme, green cuffs, yellow stripes across the middle, dark gray soles, and bolted gray plates on top of his feet.

## History

### Past

#### Sonic Adventures Series S5-S6

Robotnik would later even after betraying knuckles still find interest in his strength. He would create Metal Knuckles to match Knuckles and to surpass him.

### Sonic R Comic

In *Sonic R*, Metal Knuckles was a secret weapon manufactured by Dr. Robotnik to overcome Knuckles the Echidna within case Knuckles would prove to be a hindrance, having anticipated Knuckles' participation in the World Grand Prix, which Robotnik had tricked Sonic the Hedgehog into participating in to help him find the Chaos Emeralds. The plan was then for Metal Knuckles, along with Robotnik and his other minions, to join the World Grand Prix as participants and be ready to attack Sonic and claim the Chaos Emeralds from him when the time was right.

In the end however, Sonic and his allies secured the Chaos Emeralds without Metal Knuckles and the others getting their hands on them.

#### Sonic Future

Dr. Robotnik would not only bring along metal sonic but also metal knuckles, when he found out they had to work with knuckles he was not so happy.

#### Classic Sonic Adventures Comics

Metal Knuckles would join Robotnik on his conquest to spread the Eggman empire & to destroy Knuckles.

### Present

Eggman rebuilds Metal Knuckles & Tails Doll for special missions that formed team Metal consisting of Metal Sonic, Tails Doll, and himself.

## Personality

Metal Knuckles has displayed little to no personality of his own. However, he does possess a degree of autonomy, like being capable of posing victoriously after a winning a race.

Cold and machine-like, Metal Knuckles lack much of a personality. However, he is still intelligent and will use any means to achieve his goal (which Knuckles likens to Metal Knuckles resorting to dirty tricks). For example, he willingly endangered some animals in order to distract Knuckles, knowing that the benevolent Knuckles would not allow harm to befall any creature, in order to steal his Chaos Emerald.

Metal Knuckles is shown to have a strong dislike of Knuckles, with his first act after being set free from Heavy King's control being to attack Knuckles. Despite this, Metal Knuckles is fully loyal to Eggman under the influence of his base programming and will obey his every order.

## Powers & Abilities

Possessing the same power plant as Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles possesses high speed and acceleration power. This allows him to move at super speeds, enough to compete in the World Grand Prix. Like Knuckles, Metal Knuckles is also capable of gliding through midair for a limited time.

Metal Knuckles possesses super strength that is seemingly equal to those of Knuckles. Metal Knuckles also possesses a pair of blades on each of his hands that are sharp enough to cut a tree-sized mushroom down in one slash, and is capable of rocket-propelled, high-speed flight rivaling Metal Sonic's.
