As Sonic himself factors out, the mechanical assailant seems to be rather a lot like him—which is strictly the purpose. Metallic Sonic debuted in 1993’s Sonic CD, an appropriately sci-fi villain to match the futuristic really feel of enjoying a recreation on disc as an alternative of a cartridge. Like most villains on the earth of Sonic, Metallic Sonic is a creation of Robotnik, who decides that the one solution to defeat Sonic is to match him. Thus Metallic Sonic has the identical pace and abilities because the hero, together with some further bells and whistles.
Nonetheless, Metallic Sonic’s best asset is his logical thoughts. Not like his flesh and blood counterpart, Metallic Sonic has no weaknesses for chili canines, tiny captive animals, or his human buddies. As a robotic designed to enhance upon the unique in each manner, Metallic Sonic places his mission at the start else, even turning in opposition to his maker now and again after Robotnik retains testing him so as to show he’s the One True Sonic the Hedgehog.
Amy Rose
Amy’s sudden look through the post-credit scene isn’t an accident. Like Metallic Sonic, Amy additionally joined the fictional world with Sonic CD, though she’s been a bit extra distinguished in different media.
As a pink hedgehog with a costume, Amy does fall into the usual trope of giving a male character a woman counterpart in probably the most superficial manner attainable. The large mallet she wields, formally generally known as the Piko-Piko Hammer, does offset her some from her masculine counterpart, however too many Amy tales restricted her roles to “having a crush on Sonic” and “nagging when Sonic did one thing she didn’t like.” Even in Sonic CD, Amy was little greater than a damsel in misery.
Nonetheless, Amy has begun to come back into her personal, particularly up to now 10 years. Within the pages of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics that fan-favorites Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley have been writing for IDW Publishing, Amy’s turn into one thing of a fortune teller, which provides depth to her constructive angle. Final 12 months’s Amy’s thirtieth Anniversary Particular, written by Flynn and penciled by Aaron Hammerstrom, serves as an ideal instance, as Amy’s divination permits her to cease Metallic Sonic and free her pals.
Amy doesn’t converse within the teaser, however we’ll seemingly see a giant title get solid within the function, somebody on the extent of Elba and Reeves. Might Anya Taylor-Pleasure make a leap from Nintendo to play one other online game heroine?
