My biggest question, what would happen if Robotnik died? There would be no coming back from it, no way Metal Sonic could bring him back.
Would he go insane? How long before he becomes so paranoid, so submerged in denial, trying everything he could to bring back the one thing he lived for, the only consistent variable in his life, the only thing he's known. Gone.
How long before he looks in the mirror, and finds something else staring back. A want for something he can't even have, hopeless Determination, actions that do not have logical reason - there is no point in what he's doing, there is no logic. How long before he realises that this is loss, or greif? How long until he sees he is no different than those weak mobians, than the same thing he was made the image of. Is he Mobian? Machine?
Even when you remove part of him, you end up with so much more, which just demonstrates how solid his character is.
metal/neo metal sonic ramble
never not thinking about how robots in idw have text like this
but neo metal sonic has the same text as all the organic characters
he also expresses clear emotion just like an organic person would, if not with a bit more robotic logic behind it [save when hes in a blind rage]
HE EVEN EVILLY LAUGHS AT ONE POINT
neo metal is proof that metal is VERY MUCH CAPABLE OF EMOTIONS LIKE ANY ORGANIC [if it wasnt already obvious when he's just metal] i think its sooo crazy that IDW shows metal is the most 'human' out of all the eggman robots yet he's arguably treated the worst, not even being able to Speak in his standard form.
ik sonic is just being his usual dick self here but he kinda has a point in a way. metal almost definitely WANTS to be able to talk and express himself. but he's reduced to his lesser, albeit still very powerful, form.
oh and don't even get me started...
it's so sad to me how even though he's still very capable of emotion, eggman has literally programmed out any hint of rebelliousness. like sure, it's most likely that even if eggman HADN'T programmed out metal's rebellious streak, he'd still be evil, but this leaves not even a CHANCE for redemption on metal's part.
which makes it even more ironic that sonic says this...
sonic fails to comprehend that metal literally CANNOT become a better person. eggman literally repeats what neo already told sonic, metal is programmed to kill and to be loyal to eggman. he has NO choice. hes been under eggmans control forever and when he rebelled he was beaten and reprogrammed to never be able to rebel again. metal has basically zero autonomy outside of eggman's orders [which is in great contrast to neo, who seems to be working FOR eggman's wishes, but still very much absorbed in his own power and emotions].
i don't really know what this whole ramble is about. i think while the comics seem to push the message that metal is going to be evil Forever, i also think it would be devastatingly tragic if he didn't get a redemption in the comics. y'all cant set up a horrifying depiction of abuse like this and tell me 'oh yeah and he stayed in that state forever'. i think if another fight happened at one point or another maybe they could TRY to figure out how to program OUT his anti rebellion streak? lol? even WITH that he did hesitate when sonic offered for him to be a good person again.
he literally hesitated when SONIC. IS THE ONE WHO OFFERED HIM A TRUCE. like he's literally programmed to believe sonic is his copy and he needs to kill him I don't think i can understate how insane it is that metal, despite all his programming and lack of automomy preventing it, for a split second, considered sonics offer.
thats all for tonight. metal sonic deserves the whole world. please reblog or comment your thoughts id love to talk more abt how hes characterized in the idw comics, might talk abt reflections next. bye !

Some attempts at humanizing Polarity, Andromeda, and Void! :) Gotta give @itz-pandora credit for designing some human takes on these guys which I piggybacked off of!
My human art style will never be consistent... 🤣
