Even though I think some things could be better, the kids insist this is how he is supposed to look and feel and I'll say, they're the experts. Metal Sonic's most dominating trait and raison d'être is his hatred and obsession with defeating Sonic. [9] Having been programmed for the sole purpose of destroying Sonic using abilities superior to his, Metal Sonic is obsessed with the conviction that he is better than Sonic in every way, which he assumes is logical since he possesses the best performance, a tireless body, and plenty of other factors that should make him unbeatable. He has even taken this logic further with the belief that his body was designed in Sonic's likeness because it was the best design to defeat him with. His greatest desire is therefore to overthrow the real Sonic and defeat him once and for all. However, since he has never been able to defeat Sonic, he finds himself caught in a logical paradox, unable to figure out a way to defeat Sonic despite possessing all the means to achieve this. [12]

Metal Sonic possesses his own Enerbeam, an energy tether that can latch onto objects or form a makeshift whip/rope. Now that being said, the stitching is still tight, clean and straight and nothing is smooshed, pinched or smashed which is always a toss up with plushies. Hesse, Tyson (22 June 2018). " Mighty and Ray". Sonic Mania Adventures. Season 1. Episode 4. YouTube. Following the Ifrit incident, Metal Sonic received a slight update in design which made him taller and gave him a more ellipsoid torso. He also gained more detailed hands, a brilliant blue paint job, joints on his arms and legs, and sharper eyeholes.

If he stays true to the Eastern brand, I will certainly update both rating and review and only time will tell.

Something I really appreciate about Great Eastern plushes is they always give a large variety of accurate pictures from all different angles to show the quality and type of plush you'll be getting.

Metal Sonic is one of Sonic's earliest foes [6] and his first true rival, being able to copy both his speed and power. Both of them share a strong rivalry with each other. [19] Metal Sonic was first deployed on Little Planet where he kidnapped Amy Rose in front of Sonic, which led to a confrontation with Sonic on Stardust Speedway where Metal Sonic lost to his foe. This defeat would turn Metal Sonic from one viewing Sonic as an enemy into a bitter and deadly rival of the blue hedgehog. However, it can be said that Metal Sonic's first loss to Sonic was more than just the beginning of his rivalry with Sonic, but also a "fated" relationship. [12] Metal Sonic shares Sonic's super speed, which he can achieve using a powerful jet engine-based propulsion system. [20] [21] With this system, Metal Sonic is able to beat Sonic's acceleration, [20] who can instantly accelerate to the speed of sound, [22] and equal Sonic's speed; [6] [20] on a few occasions, Metal Sonic has even been able to surpass the speed of Sonic, [3] [23] whose highest known top speed is Mach 5. [24] Even then, Metal Sonic can take his speed even further. By overloading his circuits, Metal Sonic is able to quadruple his speed for a limited time. [25] [26] Using certain techniques, he can even achieve light-speed momentarily. In addition, Metal Sonic also has Sonic's astounding kineticism, precision and reaction time to match his speed. He has profound acrobatic skills and agility, along with enhanced reflexes that lets him avoid any incoming obstacles with precise and delicate movements.Sonic Team (6 February 2004). Sonic Heroes. PlayStation 2. Sega. Area/Level: Metal Overlord. " Metal Overlord: Guooooo! Why?! I had it all! I am the ultimate overlord, Metal Sonic! I am the real Sonic!" Shadow the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic first met each other as enemies, as the former had been working with Sonic and the rest of the teams to distract Metal Sonic in his Metal Madness form. Some time later, during the Ifrit incident, Metal Sonic and Shadow became partners due to Dr. Eggman calling Shadow for his assistance. Although they were together for a brief period, Shadow displayed that he did in fact care for Metal Sonic, at least on some level, as he constantly asks him if he is alright. Also, near the end of that incident, when Metal Sonic tore himself open to retrieve the Chaos Emerald within his body, Shadow told him to stop out of fear that Metal Sonic would destroy himself. In case the Wisp will not cooperate with him, Metal Sonic can have a Wisp Capsule installed into him that lets him forcefully extract Hyper-go-on from Wisps until they turn into Nega-Wisps. [30] Weaknesses [ ] Metal Sonic has limited stamina, unlike his organic counterpart, because he relies on a power supply that needs to periodically recharge. His lasers are also prone to malfunction. [3] Relationships [ ] Allies [ ] Metal Sonic has both impressive durability and physical strength. His frame consists of monocoque titanium [3] that makes him highly resistant to damage, and he has enough strength to tear his own frame apart by hand. [27] In addition, Metal Sonic comes equipped with several extra abilities due to his mechanoid form. These include a plasma pulse laser that he can fire from the intake on his stomach, telescopically extendable limbs, [20] the ability to generate a seemingly impenetrable force-field, and sufficiently sharp claws. Metal Sonic can even channel internal radioactive force within him to produce powerful energy surges, and, when accelerating to maximum speed, surround himself in an energy field that lets him penetrate any substance caught in his path. Plus, by utilizing his jet engine, Metal Sonic can achieve high-speed flight in any environment; even in a damaged state, he was once capable of interplanetary travel from Little Planet to earth.
