Metal Knuckles is a robot created by Dr. Robotnik in the image of Knuckles the Echidna. It was used during the first World Grand Prix incident to counter Knuckles' participation. However, Super Knuckles destroyed it at the end of the First World Grand Prix incident.

## Appearance

Metal Knuckles was created in the image of Knuckles the Echidna and is mostly built of red metal. It possesses a round head, a medium-long metallic gray muzzle with a pointy gray nose and has green eyes with black sclerae and pupils. It also has five long strips of red metal with joints and white intake tips extending downward from the sides and back of its head which are meant to resemble Knuckles' dreadlocks. Metal Knuckles possesses a red ellipsoid torso with a rectangular intake with a white rim on its chest and a rocket exhaust on its rear. Meanwhile, its 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, it 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 its feet.

## Personality

Metal Knuckles has displayed little to no personality of its own. However, it does possess a degree of autonomy, like being capable of posing victoriously. 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.

## History of Metal Knuckles

### First World Grand Prix incident

Metal Knuckles was a secret weapon manufactured by Dr. Robotnik to overcome Knuckles the Echidna with in 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, Knuckles and the others destroyed their doubles.

## Powers and abilities

Possessing the same power plant as Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles possesses high speed and acceleration power. This allows it 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.
