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 !

Scrapnik Island AU

Takes place after Sonic Frontiers. Tails decides to temporarily part ways with Sonic and goes to Scrapnik Island to help Sigma and the Mechas out with their goals.

Tails begins to help out where he can and soon the island is a bustling safe haven for Badniks and robots alike who have been left behind by their creators. Includes some Gun Robots who have gone rogue too.

Cream is on that road trip with Amy and Vanilla is with the Chaotix leaving Gemerl to pursue his own desires if he wishes, except Gemerl doesn't know what he wants for himself. He is not his own robot, being reprogrammed and most of his data is not actually his own.

He goes to find Tails to try and figure some stuff out, ending up at Scrapnik Island with everyone.

At the same time, Omega has been malfunctioning a little bit and decides to temporarily part ways with Shadow and Rouge. He seeks out Tails to figure out what is wrong, which also brings him to Scrapnik Island.

At first Omega did start attacking Scrapnik island but the fight quickly deescalated by the Mechas, Gemerl, and Tails. Gemerl is helping building the Island outward to accompany all the new robots moving in.

They get the Egg Carrier working as a means of transport. Tails enlists Mecha, Gemerl, and Omega's help forming the first battle robot Team, Team Defect. (I could have called it something else but I really like this one.) Mecha - Run, Gemerl - Fly, and Omega - Power.

Those three go on adventures together, grabbing spare parts or fighting Eggman's forces back, engaging Sage/Metal Sonic, and plenty of other things.

Omega and Gemerl already have a mutual respect for each other, but they still argue a lot. Mecha is the leader, and the one that can help the other robots come to an agreement.

Mecha is that robot that loves his family like Gemerl, but will happily fight others if need be. He's a good mix of Omega and Gemerl which is why hes a good leader for them.

Mecha Sonic and Knuckles easily gain Omega's respect. Sigma less so. This is due to Sigma being another E-Series robot. Omega keeps trying to prove his superiority and Sigma just doesn't care. He's just proud of his little brother no matter what he does. It drives Omega up the wall.

Having Omega around makes Sigma want his brothers back, so he begins plans to rebuild who he can from the E-Series, sending out Team Defect to retrieve parts and memory cards from various areas around the world.

While that's going on, Tails deciphers what Omega's malfunction is and it's growing pains. He is coding his own soul. Omega is angry about this and wants to be a soulless murder robot.

Gemerl is dealing with his own identity crisis and is mad he never got the chance to turn on Eggman like Omega did. He asks Tails to look into if his love for his family is truly his own or not. As Tails pokes around in his code, Gemerl starts having hallucinations about his predecessor Emerl.

Except they aren't hallucinations, it's what is left of Emerl's code actively trying to communicate with him. Gemerl listens and Emerl tells him that what he feels is truly his own. It's a heartfelt moment, but Emerl truly passes on giving Gemerl access to the ability to fuse with machines and some of the other strengths the gizoid lost when the original was destroyed.

A good portion of the E-Series has been rebuilt now and all of them. And I mean All of them, treat Omega as the baby brother. It's antagonistically adorable, but Omega HATES it. The Phis are the trouble makers intentionally ticking him off so they can race away snickering.

Beta has been found and rebuilt. Beta hates Omega because the youngest E-Series is stronger than him How dare?! Omega tolerates Beta the most, besides Sigma because 'Oh good! Reason to beat something up and get out my RAGE!" Beta can't beat Omega. He keeps trying and failing.

It's cannon that Chaos Gamma is made with Gamma's parts, so at some point Chaos Gamma will come into the picture. Maybe he's tired of being neglected by Eggman too. There could be a choice between dismantling Chaos Gamma and getting E - 102 Gamma back or keeping the current robot. I like the idea that if you decide to dismantle Chaos Gamma to recreate E-102 Gamma, then Gemerl will be upset. Mostly because he sees himself in Chaos Gamma. Not being his own robot, even if Chaos Gamma has Omega's temperament.

Literally everyone loves Sigma. Even Beta. Sigma is that mom friend who will make sure all your needs are met. He dotes on all his brothers with a passion. He also loves participating in meatbag traditions like birthdays and holidays. Sigma is the only one who can refer to Omega as a baby brother and not get a gun to the face...eventually. Omega learns to tolerate it.

Sigma helps Omega grow into his soul. By the time Rouge and Shadow come to find Omega on Scrapnik Island for something they absolutely need him for, Omega just accepts Sigma's love and everyone is so surprised Omega is letting Sigma pat his head like he's a child.

The scrapniks huddle together at night a lot of the time for snuggles and to heal their feelings of abandonment. Sigma is always the one who starts it, but the Mechas follow close behind. Mecha Sonic was the one who first introduced Gemerl and Omega to the cuddle pile.

Gemerl didn't take much prompting, having done this before with the rabbit family, but Omega is very much against joining in.

It takes Sigma starting a cuddle pile around Omega, to where the badnik can't escape the love to get him involved. Mecha Sonic and Gemerl are just sitting there next to him, teasing him about it.

Beta is an aggressive cuddler. Whenever Beta cuddles, it always turns into a rough house session. Omega uses this as his escape from the mushiness.

Tails is so proud of everyone and what they've accomplished together. He is able to repair the Mechas to better working conditions, modifying limbs to make them look more like their original forms. Sigma has asked to remain mostly the same provided a few updates here and there. He likes the way he looks now.

The fox might be the mind of Scrapnik Island, but Sigma is the heart and Soul. Omega's the muscle.

Omega and Chaos Gamma get along well. They spar all the time. Beta likes Chaos Gamma too. If they team up on Omega, he loses to them. So much sparring goes on Scrapnik Island that they had to build a specific arena for explosions so they stop blowing up parts of the island.

If E-102 Gamma gets rebuilt instead of keeping Chaos Gamma, Omega and him talk about their favorite meat bags. Tails will call Amy and she will be so so happy to see him. This will make Omega begin to miss Rouge and Shadow.

Tails does research into the Gizoid's while here as well. Testing out Gemerl's fusing abilities. I'ma stop there because as much as I love shipping Gemerl and Omega, I want this to remain more platonic. 🤣🤣

ive hired these machines to REND YOU APART !!!!!

V1 design is heavily inspired by friedri-ce!! I adore their work very much!!!

[mildcharacterenjoyer]

I love the E-Series so much. I love them with all my heart. Why did Eggman do them so dirty? Almost all of them are dead!! I just want to hold Omega and Sigma in my arms and protect them from the world. Okay fine Omega can kill stuff, but don't go far you hear me?! Sigma I will hold in my arms like a baby. He must be protected.
