"Why does Metal Sonic have a different design? It's not like he can grow up."
Upgrades, people. Upgrades.

Metal is one of the best Sonic villains ever. I wish he was better utilized, though.

[lighstary]

Nah metal sonic boxing Mario killed me for no reason at all💀

[tailsfan]

It's the only explanation anyone could really make about him. I always assumed that after each beat up Metal gets, Eggman replaces some of his parts to make him look stronger and better, like Sonic

[TheLedezmas]

Metal Sonic first appeared in CD and since then he is one of the most Iconic characters of the series.

[CrystalGreymon]

I honestly can't believe people didn't even think of that.

It's so obvious!

He's the most consistently used Battle Robot to take Sonic on. Why WOULDN'T Eggman keep him updated?

[Plushbuds]

What half of the sonic community is known for: complaining over the littlest things in till they get what they want

[knowingjordankid]

I definitely think that Metal Sonic is a best Sonic villain in my opinion.

[erickgamer]

This is literally what I believed everyone just assumed out of logic. I appreciate you clearing it out for the newcomers and casuals

[ej_matthewsart]

Oml why cant sonic fans just accept that redesigns happen and there doesnt have to be an official explaination for it. Its a game character. This is no shade to you, SonicHub, but some fans really cant continue life without a perfect explaination for literally everything and thats wild to me.

Yeah, I’d say that’s a pretty sound theory.

Although the cut scenes don’t match this, I like to think the first time metal sonic got upgraded to match his modern counterpart was in sonic four episode two. Yes, throughout their entire game, they use the modern metal sonic design, but since he’s found destroyed on little planet has his modern form, incontinuity, he hast to be his classic self at that point.

So once he flies back to earth and gets rebuilt, I like to think that’s one egg man gives him the height increase to match his modern counterpart. However, that’s less of a theory and instead what I would do.

[NaveKnights]

I totally agree with this. I also don't see whats wrong with a design change now and then, I think its good to have a change once in a while.


Also an unrelated note, id love to see Metal Sonic and Sonic work together in a game to defeat some super powerful enemy, maybe we could then actually see a Super Metal Sonic (not to be confused with Super Mecha Sonic).

[mickeymouse]

Did... people forget that eggman can make upgrades... please tell me people didn't forget that Metal Sonic can be upgraded and changed since he's a robot...

[DJ]

I like to believe that he did it while upgrading himself to NEO Metal Sonic.

[SVDNinja]

Tbh, idk why people are complaining when this is honestly just basics in engineering. "Classic" metal sonic is the mk1 version of metal sonic in sonic CD, when he was first sent to fight sonic. "Modern" metal sonic is more of a mk2/3, upgraded to match sonic's feats and keep up with him as he got older. Along with learning from how he lost the first time. Robots don't naturally grow like we do, but they still can via tinkering and upgrading to fix what doesn't work or improve what does.

[A_DecentGamer]

A swear Sonic fans will complain for everything now

[Shambles]

I think people are complaining that he looks nothing like the original classic metal sonic (the 3d models from the promo art for CDs)

[AnonAmyTheSilly]

I thought the complaint was that Classic Metal Sonic looked different from *CD Boxart* Metal Sonic, not *modern* Metal Sonic.

[BlamedAxis]

this was the headcanon I had for it as well. It makes complete sense
