The fact that it’s a Combined form of every single Robot Sonic, and uses S3&K Mecha as a base just makes me feel like it’s not just a unique design, but a slight reference to Mecha’s origins in Super Mario Z.

You should replace the background ambience with Sonic BGM

Amalgam Mecha Sonic makes me think of Megamix from the Crash Bandicoot series, where in a GBA game 4 of the main villains from the series get mixed as one, Neo Cortex, N. Gin, Dingodile and Tiny Tiger Since this game is apparently separated from the old timeline, the one that Crash 4 It's About Time replaced where Crash 4/Wrath of Cortex, Crash 5/Twinsanity and then Titans and Mind Over Mutant were the continuation of Crash Bandicoot 3, and also still not canon to the main universe from the new timeline as well (even tho being part of a different dimension, at least it has posters of him on the desert dimension, since Crash 4 has this thing of having different dimensions and time periods) I think Amalgam Mecha Sonic could be a similar case, idk if from the main timeline or an alternate, because I really think Scrapnik Mecha Sonic is a really cool path to Mecha Sonic go, having being restored at the crashed version of the OG Death Egg by Sigma and learned how to become a good person and continue for his own reasons I also have a headcannon/Theory that Mecha Sonic from Sonic Adventure, even being called "Mecha Sonic MK. III" is still actually the same as Sonic 2's Genesis Mecha Sonic, but upgraded/modernized, since both have similliarities to Mecha Godzilla, so in that Theory that's why there is not a Scrapnik version of the Sonic 2's Mecha Sonic, even tho he was destroyed at the Original Death Egg in Sonic 2, the Death Egg that is crashed at Scrapnik Island at the present moment in the Sonic series, there is no Scrapnik Mecha Sonic MK. I in my theory because he is no longer in the Death Egg but instead is now forgotten on the abandoned Final Egg on Mystic Ruins, or in another location if Eggman even removed him from there after leaving Final Egg

Amalgam seems like the kind of character that would become super obscure in 10-20 years imo

This Texture Pack feels like a complete visual overhaul! And the Mecha Sonic in this Minecraft Texture back being an Amalgam is straight up amazing! I tried it out and all my Expectations were exceeded! 100/10 the texture pack truly a masterpiece!

Makes sense that the boss made of multiple Mob’s part, was reskinned to be 3&K’s Mecha Sonic combined with the parts of other robots like in Scrapnik.

Hearing that you yearn for the mines just made my day.

holy shit i can't believe they made a Sonic bot equivalent of Creation from TJOC in MINECRAFT of all games

I’d love to see more Sunset City Minecraft. It can definitely be weird to get into, but it really is a game with limitless possibilities. I’ve always enjoyed building Zelda and Sonic-like levels within my worlds, and this pack makes that a lot more interesting.

That is sick and I need an action figure of it, the concept art really reminds me of Raditz from DBZ with how massive the spikes are it kind of looks like his hair

The Endermen being the robots from Frontiers are hilarious

I would enjoy a proper mainline appearance, so long as it doesn't step over or undo Scrapnik

I know it's already been said, but I love that Sonic fans are now working on the series. People who've already had this love baked into them as they were growing up

Looking at Amalgam's concept art, it kinda makes me think of Amalgam as a sort of extension or continuation of *Scrapnik* Mecha. There's some small details that are similar between the comic and the Minecraft bot, mainly the chipped metallic quills that seem *very* reminiscent of Scrapnik's general design, as well as the simple fact that both share a sort of theme of being cobbled together of various mechanical parts outside of the original Mecha design. It'd be really cool to have something like a Scrapnik Island 2 where Mecha is somehow forced to be mixed in with all these different robots and then has to deal with his new form. Maybe such a story could even implement the Super Amalgam form, complete with the original Mecha's development in Scrapnik Island to save the day somehow? Or I'm just daydreaming. That's also possible.

The sonic dlc from last year was alright but I’m so glad we finally got a proper sonic texture pack. It’s just fun to explore these worlds in Minecraft’s sand box setting.

Its even better on switch, because of the mario mashup pack, so you could do a smbz reference

Honestly seeing this thing in any new media would be amazing - its such a cool concept

i smell a fanfic.

Here's my idea for a comic story for the mechamlagam (for context I haven't played any sonic game but forces and I haven't read the comics myself) On scrapnik island more mecha sonics start showing up completely trashed and the robot (I forgot the name of) who normally repairs them was disappointed to find he could repair them due to missing parts but thhen mecha sonic made a suggestion, they could put their parts on him including their programming so that way they could in a way be given a second chance like the other scrapniks without needing to find the replacement parts effectively upgrading scrapnik mecha while helping other mechas at the same time, so they do just that and it ends up with all the personalities present in mecha and sure they don't all always get along but for the most part they accept that scraonik mecha is the leader as it was his idea to merge and they usually let him pilot the body unless he ask somone else to takeover for awhile or they ask permission to takeover for awhile, who's in control can be seen by the color of mecha sonics visor (for anyone confused by the split minds basically its like ennard from fnaf) This becomes relevant to sonic because as established in the past he has a psychic connection with mecha sonic so after mecha merges with the others sonic starts having weird dreams where he's transported to a Court like room where all the past mecha sit at podiums and stare at sonic judging him and whispering about "what is He doing here" then on the 5th night sonic has another dream in the same place but this time it's only scrapnik mecha except he looks different to how sonic members him, mecha explains how and why he merged with the other mechas and he explains whenever a personality is control all the others are in a mental court room they formed where they vote on ideas and plans allowing for hightened efficiency by having all plans be premeditated but because of sonic's mental link he was getting pulled into the court every night and unfortunately the other mechas haven't forgiven sonic for trashing them, while mecha wad in control all the others came to a vote and decided sonic has to go and they knew mecha would disagree so they all teamed up to overpower him and forcibly hijacked the body and now there was a mecha sonic amalgam with the combined abilities knowledge and power of all the mechas going after sonic, they trapped mecha in his own head in the court room amd they were all working together as a collective unit so 1 was the main intelligence controlling whilst all the others would give heads-ups and warnings or would temporarily take control to dodge an attack only they saw or use one if their attacks and they were constantly alternating who was the main personality so they'd never become predictable so all mecha was able to do was wait for sonic to fall asleep so he could use his psychic link to pull sonic into the mechamalgam mind space so he could warn sonic, idk how It continues from here or how sonic preperas for this mecha amalgam attempting to assasinate him but clearly a cool battle happens and sonic would have to make the tough choice of trashing the amalgam saving himself and his freinds from a highly coordinated revenge plot but killing mecha or sparing them all and trying to find a way to redeem them maybe while temporarily keeping them prisoner. Also for anyone wondering how they even escaped scrapnik island mecha said sonic could run across the water and it's also said mech has sonics speed so presumably when they merged and his sawblade leg became a proper foot he was able to run at fast enough speeds to run across the water without needing to body swap with sonic

I love when you geek out when amalgum mecha sonic gone super

The fact that emerl from battle is here is crazy neat even if just a painting. These people love sonic

If IDW's Mecha Sonic ever joins the Resistance, we might see Amalgam be created

Outside of the one-channel audio that concept art is so damn rad I share a lot of fondness as you do for these robots, so seeing that concept design made my jaw drop

10:24 Starved called, he wants his version of Metal Sonic back lol

This has got to be one of the coolest videos about Sonic I have seen, and its about Sonic in Minecraft

Ngl sonic superstars would be a good spot to put em be even crazier if he was the secret playable character

I wasn't expecting you do a video on this cool guy, but I'm so glad you did! Thanks for the dev insight into Amalgam Mecha Sonic! Also, will you please talk about Remote Robot (aka Mecha Tails, aka T-Pup) from Tails' Adventure? I wouldn't be mentioning him if it weren't for the fact that he's called Mecha Tails in the Japan version of the game. He's also made more appearances than I would've guessed.

This design KICKS

I love how much love is pouring into him these days, not just metal

Considering how closely the IDW team works with Sonic Team / Sega, I think the artwork they showed us for Mecha Sonic Mk II is the most accurate that we'll get. The artwork was shown at some point shortly before the Scrapnik Island miniseries debuted. Have you not seen it?

This sonic texture pack looks like the true Minecraft sonic game 🥹 ( Great work gamemode one 👍👏 )

As both a huge sonic and Minecraft fan this makes this mashup all the more special! ❤ Especially considering the Wither is one of my favorite mobs and I think this combination of metals (who are also some of my favorites) a perfect mash! And as a bedrock player it makes the mob even more powerful! Which I think is fitting ;) Alas they will not last long- as they will spawn directly into the automatic wither killer! :)

one missed opportunity with this pack is that in vanilla Minecraft there's a painting of the wither that they could've made into a painting of the amalgam, instead they made it The Creation of Shadow

It's surprising they haven't done a Mecha Sonic fusion (also since I've replayed the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, for some reason, this reminds me of the 2nd phase of Gideon Graves in the game)

Congrats, you convinced me to buy this pack. There's so much love put into it, and it's wonderful to see!

Most comments and the video: *Amalgam Mecha Sonic!* What I focused on: *Sage and Eggman built their own Ender Dragon with Ancient tech?!* The first is admittedly cool, but Sage and her dad trying to conquer Minecraft feels equal parts awesome and hilarious. Hell, maybe trying to conquer Minecraft was actually Sage's idea and Eggman's running with it?

Thanks a bunch for this analysis video. I loved hearing your thoughts, as well as the fact that you got to talk to the creators. Mad respect. When my brother and I were first checking out the Sonic pack, I started geeking out about all the references he didn’t get (which were all of them). Funny enough, since the Wither takes off into the sky, all I saw was Mecha Sonic and thought, “Hey, that’s awesome!” and moved on. Never noticed it was an amalgamation until your vid, so thanks for that. Speaking of, have you checked out the Warden mob skin? Hooooo, BOY! As the Wither is a love letter to the classics, the Warden is a love letter to the Adventure titles!

When I always come up with a sort of concept for metal sonic I like to take concepts from the other metals

Omg I just realized. It would be so cool for either a last or new type of mecha sonic to show up in superstars. They normally show up in the classic games and it would be so cool for it to happen

So this is what Sonic's world is like without breezing past and missing the scenery... looks like I'm gonna take my time and gotta go slow. Time for a tour on Mobius.

Like getting getting a cloned organ rather than a donar organ.
