Metallix, originally known as Mecha Sonic, is an incarnation of Turbo Mecha Sonic who appeared in Shadic vs Metallix | Sprite Battle by SpacePea. Though the animation isn't a continuation of the SMBZ story, he is based on that series' Mecha Sonic after getting all seven Chaos Emeralds and becoming Metallix.
Besides sharing Sonic's appearance and abilities, Metallix is infused with Sonic's life data (personality and memories) to be as formidable in battle as the real Sonic, making the robot a near-perfect duplicate of the blue blur. This however created a mind link between Metallix and Sonic, allowing them to hear each other's thoughts. This also gave Metallix traits of the real Sonic's personality and habits, which eventually led to him sacrificing himself to save the lives of the Bowser and Old Man Owl.
Appearance[]
In his previous form, Metal Sonic was created in the image of Sonic the Hedgehog and was thus mostly built of blue metal to resemble Sonic’s blue spines. He had a yellow circular depression in his chest with a black center, mirroring the peach skin of Sonic's chest. His head had metal fins resembling Sonic's quills and a pair of triangular "ears." a muzzle, shoulder plates, upper arms, legs, and fingers made out of silvery metal. His palms were black, while the backs of his hands were square yellow plates. His forearms and lower legs were made made of blue metal like his head and torso, and he had red feet with white stripes designed to resemble Sonic's shoes. He had optic sensors with black sclera and red irises.
In his new form, Metallix bears a resemblance to his previous form, but with more drastic changes, most directly resembling his 2006 iteration's unused final form of the same name. His quills are now sharper, curved up, and have silver tips, and his eyes have silver highlights surrounding them. Compared to his previous form’s sleeker frame, Metallix has a taller and sturdier build. He is adorned with blue armor with silver linings and has blue and white shoulder guards and wrist gauntlets, the latter of which are adorned with red orbs. Embedded in his chest is a red reactor core that house an interior in which he can store Chaos Emeralds.
Personality[]
In his previous form, Metal Sonic was a cold and aggressive robot. His silence and usually emotionless demeanor gave him an air of mystery. Created by Dr. Eggman to act as his enforcer as well as act as direct competition to Sonic the Hedgehog, he developed a superiority complex due to his purpose and programming, believing himself superior to Sonic in every aspect and seeking to destroy Sonic whenever possible. However, Metal Sonic also carried the capability for rebellion and vengeance. He would often disobey Eggman's orders and set out to destroy Sonic himself to prove his superiority and get revenge for his repeated defeats. This disobedient streak would lead to the crucial moment of Metal Sonic absorbing his fellow robots to transform into Metallix.
After upgrading, Metallix's cold heart and ruthless nature are amplified to the point where he becomes a totally merciless killing machine. He shows no mercy to any creature he encounters and will take lives without a second thought to get what he wants. According to Sonic, Metallix bears a lust for power and destruction, shown by his desire to achieve ultimate power by collecting the Chaos Emeralds. In his pursuit, he is willing to destroy anyone and anything that gets in his way.
Metallix appears to enjoy a good fight, much like Sonic. His fighting style matches his brutal and sadistic nature, as he laughs coldly when preparing to beat Yoshi to a pulp and while choking the life out him at the end of their battle. Despite his sadism, it does not override his more pragmatic side. He could've easily wiped out the rest of Yoshi's friends, but instead chose to focus on collecting the Chaos Emeralds, implying that he values their power over his own sadistic whims. Amongst his wishes, Metallix ultimately seeks to defeat Sonic and prove his superiority to him, just as Metal Sonic originally did.
