[SFM] Cherished Companion

Towards the tail end of last year a lot of comments seemed to want a sequel to Disposable Design, so after giving it some thought I put this together and I hope you enjoy this little continuation ^^ And if you're curious the 300k sub special is still in the works, I'll be most excited to show you that one when it's complete!

The concept of Tails rebuilding and repurposing the original Metal Sonic as a guardian of the Chao and their Gardens, is pretty cool and wholesome.

This truly shows why Metal Sonic claims himself to be the real Sonic because he doesn't only have his Sonic's speed but also a big heart like Sonic does. He truly is a real Sonic

I knew Metal Sonic had a good heart...or good circuitry? You guys know what I mean. Great video as usual!!

[sethfagan]

I always wanted to see the Classic Metal Sonic becoming a "Cherished Companion". Now that I have seen the video. I give this video a perfect 10. I love seeing it. It is fun, funny and cute. I want to see more videos like this. The thing that touched me about this video is, when Classic Metal Sonic becoming a guardian of the Chaos. I love this video.

[Day-By_Me]

even without using a single word in a single video you demonstrated so much expression and emotion, that is a lot of talent

This was such a fun video! I loved the how the music and the actions all played off so well together. Also that ending lol

I love how the rebuilt Metal Sonic (or our “Cherished Companion” aka CC) is treated with such care and kindness by the others.

Tails works hard to make sure CC is working the best they can be and to keep it that way, not just so that CC can work well for them all, but so that CC is “healthy” in a way. Tails is encouraging to CC’s growth and is almost like a caregiver for CC.

Cream treats CC with unwavering kindness and Cheese clearly trusts CC, and Chao are great at telling someone’s character. CC comes to love the Chao thanks to Cheese and Cream.

Sonic is confused at first, but once he knows what’s going on, he treats CC like any other friend of his. No prejudice or bias towards CC for the past, just his usual kind, lighthearted attitude and light teasing. He even (seemingly) invites CC along for an adventure, much to CC’s excitement.

And, even better, CC is given the chance to choose who they are, and what they want to do. Heck, they’re even encouraged to do so. In the end, they *choose* to love and protect the Chaos.

Im honestly hqppy to see people animate or create stories of a different metal thats friendly, or in this case, a broken metal made and learned good in opposition of the metal who started the good metals life in the first place

[In short, im saying this was awsome -w-]

[mightythehalfsaiyanhedgeho]

i'll never look at Metal the same way ever again

[calliethewolfcat]

My only critique is the wobbly camera. The movements and animation has greatly improved. Love watching your work! ^^

[crossoverworlds]

PLEASE, WE NEED A THIRD EPISODE. MAKE THIS A SERIES!

[bumblebeegamer]

that was so beautiful!
Tails just being a father for the Small Metal, teached him, meets the chao garden and saved the Chao's. That is the metal sonic i love.
well done the animations and the frames

[michaelthehusky]

[FierceSonic]

I wasn’t able to comment before, but great job on this, Mike!! You truly capture purity and innocence masterfully, and your animation style is always a pleasure to see :)

2:41 It’s like looking at a mirror, or a sibling, or an imposter, or anything that seems to look alike.
How would you put it?
