Tails's intelligence actually is canonically touched on in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, it's just that him being a very young child is generally emphasized. And just like in the games, it mostly manifests as his talent for machinery, which was downplayed in SatAM as that'd have infringed on Rotor Walrus's niche.

13:08 Dude, as awful as the character designs for the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters are, I absolutely loved the idea that there were other groups of Freedom Fighters with cool and unique animals included. The Downunda Freedom Fighters were slightly better, and then of course the Chaotix were the best example.

It's kinda funny that Tails defeated Pseudo-Sonic in the comics, considering he was _also_ the member of the FF that defeated Evil Sonic/Scourge the first time the heroes clashed with their counterparts. I suppose it tracks that the guy who spends the most time fighting alongside Sonic would be the best-equipped to defeat an evil version of him.

@@whaleping well keep in mind that Psuedo is made for infiltration while Metal is made for confrontation. An upgraded Psuedo Sonic would most likely resemble a terminator with a morphic cloaking device and some built in drones. Sorta like a metal mimic, it can take on a variety of disguises, infiltrate, and then start playing mind games causing people and groups to fall apart, be under Eggman's thumb without realizing, or just go insane. Between the two Psuedo would most likely be the more devious and dangerous one.

Pseudo-Sonic was a product of the early-mid 1990's, and was geared towards younger kids with it's goofy, non-threatening design. By definition, the Pseudo-Sonic from the comics was an ANDROID, while the version from the cartoon show was (in fact) a robot/mech. It all boils down to one being fully autonomous and sentient (like Metal Sonic), and the other requiring a pilot to operate it. That said, yes, Metal Sonic is, by definition, an ANDROID as well (though Metal Sonic is much more self-aware, has the ability to incorporate foreign machines/objects, and can "evolve" depending on the circumstances).

I loved the goofiness of this robot as a kid. He was perfectly suited to the medium he was created for, and it was fun to see the Looney Tunes antics going off with him.

I kind of like his design. Feels suitably doofy and "prototype-ish" which especially started to make sense when Archie would retroactively establish him to be a prototype Metal Sonic (in a sense). Wouldn't mind seeing him come back in a future cartoon or comic where he's just a one-off badnik, as a tribute of sorts to AoStH, however with SEGA's hardcore mandates nowadays I doubt that'd ever happen. Fun to imagine though.

I kind of like the name Mr S. It sounds so mysterious, like a secret agent or a mob boss.

I remember reading the OG Archie pre-reboot, and reading Pseudo Sonic, I didn't know about his later pre reboot and as well as animated appearances, but that's quite something new I learned. I also believe this to be quite an interesting bar to set and start off Mecha March Madness 2022.

I'll save you an afternoon rifling through your back-issues: The last Pseudo story was indeed Gallagher and Manak's last stint on the Sonic book proper, although they did revitalize a shelved story from the early days in Sonic Archives Volume 5. That said, I actually quite enjoyed these backups when they first came out, I always enjoy when a long running series does a throwback story, and seeing these old school revivals was a fun change of pace from the narrative at the time!

See? Someone mistaking HIM for Sonic would be more believable. He looks just like him... except robotic... and has sharp teeth... and a bit bulkier... but still, I love him all the same

I honestly forgot about this character until you brought him up. It's kind of odd that he hasn't really shown up that much in the Archie Comics. I guess it's because when they created Scourge, he pretty much took all the attention from Pseudo Sonic. Awesome video as always Nick!

Metal has his own goals, Mecha sticks to his programming, but Pseudo... he's just a little stinker, and I kinda love it.

I love how you deliver your lines. Def could not imagine learning obscure things about different robo baddies from anyone else. Thank you Nick

I have a soft-spot for Pseudo Sonic since he was my first exposure to Sonic having a robotic double. I like to think that he's a Badnik variant of the standard "Metal-" series robots that can be mass-produced, similar to Prototype Silver Sonic. His doofy appearance could be ol' Egghead trying to spite Sonic like what he pulled with the Tails Doll.

Yknow , Nick, I use to think I was the Sonic lore master until I stumbled upon this channel. Thank you for deepening my Sonic education.

You know, I actually like Pesudo Sonic. Yeah he's goofy and bizzare, but having him as almost the first Sonic Robot, he's really cool. If given a better design, he could be really interesting! Granted, like many Sonic Robots it would cramp Metal Sonic's style, but hey I think he could fit somewhere. Probably would have been well at home in Sonic Boom for example. XP

I remember seeing this guy near the back of the Sonic Universe Shadow Saga book where they described the different versions of Metal Sonic (or any robot of Sonic in general). Great video Nick!

Aw man I remember this episode in particular because my family caught me spending to much time looking up Sonic cartoons on the computer when I was little: the worst crime known to man.

Aww, he's adorable! You hate this guy? How? He's so freaking cute. I love his freaking bulbous nose. And that cheeky shark grin. He knows what he is and he freaking loves it. I think the keyword is "Pseudo". He's supposed to look off. So this isn't a bad design, this is a stellar design, it is exactly what it needs to be. It also reminds me of Sharkie the dog from Eek! The Cat. He also looks way more like a Dadnik than Metal Sonic. Badniks are supposed to be cartoony and bulbous, at least the early ones.

You know, I like the idea of Pseudo being spring-loaded at most of his joints. It's something that seems to be unique to Pseudo among the line up of sonic robots. I think he's kinda neat.

Never would of guessed that the one constant with Pseudo Sonic stories is Sonic running into flowers that make him swell up like a balloon.

Pseudo Sonic was a favorite out of the robots, I actually kinda admired the design, it looks like it actually has durable parts inside the machine rather than magically moving metal skeleton like everyone's favorite mechanical doppelganger. It would have been hilarious seeing him if he were to pop up in Metal Sonic's fight in mania, honestly it would be nice if there was a (non lego) game to include all the Mechanical Sonics including some of the more obscure ones like Pseudo...

I saw some cute fanart of him and Metal and I was like "THERES AN AMERICAN METAL?" it was a pleasant surprise, his episode was crazy.

I don't really like pseudo-sonic but I love the chaos of adventures of sonic the hedgehog.

the way nick just Segways to archie like a dad annoyed at his children in the car threatening to turn back had me laughing. 1:11 love how it's mickey's runaway brain look(pretty much the disney equivalent to archie werehog outside the beast & am now calling him pseudo lucky mouse.:3) if he just bluntly ate ALL the caffeine.

I love Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog for it's out-there character design and limitless meme potential. But most importantly, I love that this show has ties to Mean Bean Machine (and therefore) ties to Puyo Puyo. I wish these franchises' characters interacted in a way that wasn't Sonic Runners.

Last year I called silver sonic a goblin but no this is the real goblin sonic. At least it can say it’s the only sonic robot to use a grenade… it’s a weird robot but I don’t hate it. It’s served it’s purpose well.

A.O.S.T.H's Eggman/Robotnik is the most logical once you think of it. Instead of making an entirely new design he just straight up made Sonic. (With a big nose) So if he wanted to frame Sonic he could could so if he wanted to.

Man, this was a blast from the past. I had the original Pseudo-sonic issue as well as the anniversary issue where he shows back up. It was goofy but it was perfect for Archie because of how silly it was. I’m glad that Mecha March Madness is still happening, and I hope we eventually get a video abut the E-100 series. They’re probably my favorite since they’re a nice mix of classic sonic badniks and the newer enemy grunts. The Archie comics, the IDW comics, and the games like Sonic Adventure or sonic battle/Sonic Advance really made them special and I’m glad they eventually led to the development of Omega and Emerl/Gemerl. Thanks!

As a person with bad taste (I really like Silver Sonic), I personally like Pseudo-Sonic. I think the chunky limbs, fat nose and whole generic-metalness of his design makes him really charming.

We need a Episode on Rocket metal

Pseudo-Sonic is incredibly underrated imo, I've always liked his design considering it was the most accurate to sonic's design of aosth and the fact that it was actually piloted by someone. That being said i actually have an official piece of production art of Psuedo himself from Adventures.

I think I remember Ian or someone saying this story was sitting in the archives waiting to be printed when he arrived. So after Archie changed the staff, they decided to print the leftover stories from the old guard.

That "Pseudo Mickey Mouse Knock Off" is actually brain-swapped Mickey from the '95 short "Runaway Brain" -- While likely a knock off toy, its based on a real character, and possibly based on a limited run or cancelled toy meant to reference that short (which may have run in theaters in the '90's before hitting the Disney channel).

Tiny animals are not power source for badniks. In Sonic the Hedgehog CD badniks were powered by flower seeds. But Flicky and other small creatures are DRIVERS of badniks in other games. Unlike Eggman, Robotnik started already with Artificial Intelligence. But AI of his robots ended up being extremely dumb, so for Pseudo Sonic he decided to make it be controlled by something that at least has brains.

Here's the thing with Pseudosonic. He might not be the best-looking Sonic bot, but he's the closest in appearance and capabilities to the real blue blur.

Glad to see people still remember this weird robot sonic :)

It's hilarious to just be listening to Sonic Mania's Stardust Speedway Boss theme casually, only to pause it to watch a Game Apologist video that plays the same thing at the start. XD It's a true bop. :D Pseudo-Sonic is a weird one. He's literally got the same exactly body and design of Sonic, but all metal, bulky, and a weird face with a big nose and sharp teeth to remind you he's an evil doppelganger robot. I mean, he DOES resemble a slightly altered version of the classic Sonic design on the box art of the first few games with the circle head and shark-fin quills and such. Also, 1:08 that "Pseudo Mickey" is basically a Mickey from a cartoon short where he turns into a monster (I forgot how or what the short's called), but it seems like someone bootlegged it as merch. To me, Pseudo-Sonic, with a few touch-ups, would be perfect way to frame the real Sonic for crimes and horrible actions, much more fitting than people thinking Shadow was Sonic in Sonic Adventure 2, in my opinion. But, you would be able to tell something was off, like "Faker Sonic/EXE" a fanmade Sonic.exe that imitates Sonic, but pretty unsettling in it's first form. He's like a Bizzaro Superman. He's MEANT to be weird and somewhat the opposite of Sonic. He's not my favorite, but an interesting Sonic Robot nonetheless. P.S. I love that little joke you snuck at the end of the video. That's a classic. 🤣
