Sega kind of missed out on a pun by not calling one of the metal knucks brass knuckles

In Archie, two different types of Brass Knuckles do exist. The first kind were mass-produced robotic soldiers who fought against the Freedom Fighters of the Galaxy (a pastiche of Marvel's original Guardians of the Galaxy) in an alternate post-apocalyptic Mobius in issue 103. The second kind was more or less a brass recolor of Metal Knuckles with brass knuckles instead of spikes that only showed up in an Off Panel strip from issue 243. Edit: didn't watch the video all the way through when I said this, didn't realize the Off Panel one was acknowledged at the end.

Eric the Echidna mentioned. I've made a design for Eric way back when. I honestly thought that he would have been android like the many different Shadows.

That would check out: Of the few Shadow Android models, one was just low-poly, one could actually pass as organic (But had yellow markings), and the Heroes ones were visually flawless copies. A Knuckles Android being a passing, if off-color, copy would make sense.

Fun fact: In fleetway, Chaos is a mutated Drakon instead of a mutant chao. Seeing the alien nature of chaos's ancestors, it almost retroactively makes the Drakons the comic equivalent of Sonic Frontiers's Ancients

@@conradojavier7547 Theres definately a case to be made for them basing both the modern chaotix and the Metarex(japanese name would probably be more accurately translated as Metalex, but the accidental dinosaur pun was neat foreshadowing) on things from StC. Despite having less oversight from Sega, StC DID get closer to the games in terms of feel, probably because, as it was also a sega game review magazine, there were people in the building who could help with capturing that game feeling.

Your original Metal Knuckles was so cool and convincing of your love for the red robot that I made a plasticine figure of him not too long after watching (which was like 2 months ago). He's still there with me, sitting on my desk.

I have wanted a Knuckles Metallix boss battle or a figure. Since it was my introduction to Knuckles robots.

I see a metal knuckles video, I click it's that simple.

I know it’s a detail that only makes sense recently, but by the looks of things, Grimer knew his place? He knew to not kill Sonic. Unlike even Starline.

I feel the same way with the Lego set. I only built it just because I wanted to see it. I have too many sets that I don’t build

Just listening to you ramble about your favorite robot is great! And learning some new stuff as well!

I think it would be nice if in one of these videos you just talked about the playable depictions of Metal Sonic, since I find him so interesting when it comes to how it expands his already unique move set from sonic

It's really cool to see Mecha Knuckles get some love. I never been the biggest fan of him but I've always kind of liked his design it was erie and kind of unsettling to me when he shows his true form. It kind of reminded me a lot of something like the Terminator. I had played Sonic 2 well before Advanced so I was already pretty familiar with Mecha Sonic but he never creeped me out the same way Mecha Knuckles did. Maybe it's idea of a robot taking your form and looking nearly identical to you but there's certain features that just look off that kind of make it unsettling. That stuff has always creeped me out as a kid.

A video right when I wake up, nice.

12:27 So Ian looked at these skins, and decided. “Y’know what? Im gonna make a zombie apocalypse arc out of these skins.”

Hell yeah! Love seeing the metal knux love! Crazy how much we got of him recently with the concept art and him appearing in Sonic superstars. As for the other robot knuckles I’m not a big fan on a lot of them design wise except for metalix unironically but just his head if I’m being honest always thought it looked dope.

Gotta love brand new content from Nick.

Hey Game Apologist, I just edited the Sonic Wiki Page on Eric the Echidna to say that he is a clone of Sonic and not a robot, because this bit of evidence, which is Eric licking his lips, implies he is an organic lifeform. Plus, those Eric the Echidna books that are completely un-related are so cute!

I would LOVE to see you drawings of Metal Knuckles MK. 2 and/or even your interpretation of Metal Knuckles' design according to the Sonic R models & designs! Also, great video! It's always a treat hearing you fanboy over Sonic Robots. :) (Love that you mentioned the "Brass Knuckles" joke from that Archie One-Off Panel) XD

Hm, how very interesting, it’s nice how this one has gotten more attention, i hope it gets some more significant Roles too at some point. Also, when could we expect you to cover Hyper Mecha Sonic/Metalix from SMBZ?

8:46 I figure you won't be covering the official-unofficial continuation StC Online, so let me pitch in to say that those knuckles metalix eventually get picked up by Knuckles himself and modified into angel island defenders, at the small cost of getting dangerously close to triggering porkers PTSD for metallic. Its a pretty late plotpoint, doesn't really come up until after the big finale to the comics primary plotline which wrapped up shortly before IDW started, but we got there eventually.

Just the content my autistic self would go crazy over as a kid, thanks Game Apologist!

My version of mecha knuckles for sonic advance ,is that he is colored white and red (which is a reference to wechidna) he has the same body shape as mecha sonic mark 2 but he’s legs are more armored and he has no wheels on his heels and he’s dreads are thrusters which give him the ability to glide through air.

Robotnik probably would've been mad at Grimer for killing Sonic. I don't think his ego would allow someone else the pleasure, especially his own lackeys.

I gotta say. The original Metal Knuckles in that concept art has some Predator vibes. Something about the mechanized dreads reminds me of those movies. Which, I wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional. The Japanese LOVE the Alien and Predator movies. (Like how the late Toriyama basically made 3rd form Frieza a knockoff Xenomorph.)
