I can see metal being a good big bro to sage

It took him seeing Metal thrashed to regain his memories, and the first thing he remembered was taking care of him. I think that might actually speak to him as a person more than most other things he did, as well as what his and Sonic's relation could be if circumstances were different. We saw if he was good, but this acts as if Sonic wasn't.

This is painfully true _(as a db fan)_ 😭

I was genuinely surprised by how quickly I grew attached to Mr. Tinker even though I knew he wasn't gonna last. He cared for the townsfolk and fixed their things, wanted to make an amusement park for children, and was overall a really nice guy. My heart broke when Mr. Tinker was begging Starline to not turn him into Eggman, pleading to avoid becoming the monster who terrified the people he grew to care for.

10:27 I guess that does raise a few eyebrows, but when you really think about it, Metal probably didn't even know he was there, he could've been going back to the base to fix himself up a bit and head back out, but while arriving, Mr. Tinker/Dr. Eggman just happened to be there for him to find. At least that's sort of how I saw it anyway.

His mercy is his biggest weakness, but besides his speed and confidence, its one of his defining features. With what damage he can do to metal, imagine the things he could do to organic matter if he were inclined. He could easily straight up KILL eggman, before the latter could even blink. But he doesnt. Because he's a good guy. And it keeps coming back to bite him - and the rest of the world. But even so, its a line he refuses to cross.

Oh and in the Sonic Riders series, he's somewhat like a seperate character by sounding, acting and behaving different than Sonic which in Free Riders, you can hear his voice sounds raspy but not as much as in the first and second game, I have a video on the difference between Sonic and Super Sonic's voice where you'll hear Super Sonic's clearly as it took a certain way to hear it unless I deleted it because if I did, I was going to improve the video and have the two heard more clearly than in the one I'm referring to.

As I see it, Metal Sonic only finds Eggman because it returns to the same base where he resides at the moment more of a coincidence rather than a thoughtful act; what ever the reason I think it is as much relevant as the comics mentions it.

Comics: *are good* Games: "I am once again asking for your ideas"

Like so many other franchises such as Batman and Doctor Who, Sonic has shown compassion towards great enemies, wanting to see the good in them, and all this does it cost our hero more death, destruction and pain further down the line when evil rises yet again.

6:34-6:38 I always enjoy seeing Sonic and Silver team up. An underrated, yet unique duo. One of them is a cool, confident teen with a bit of an ego, while the other is a shy, dorky teen who's humble. Ever since Sonic saved Silver from Infinite in Forces, I've wanted to see more of those two hedgehogs working together and IDW successfully delivered. There were certain moments during the Zombot arc when Silver was there to save Sonic whenever he was in a dire situation. The relationship that Sonic and Silver have provides great chemistry and entertainment. Fun Fact: Silver's theme (Dreams of an Absolution) is a gay romance song. The singer (Bentley Jones) himself made a video explaining the origin of that song. If you've heard that song before, you'll know it's a remix of Green Hill Zone. Dreams of an Absolution is what defines Silver as a character. The word "absolution" means to forgive, atone, or repent. The "Green Hill" aspect of the song is a subtle hint to who Silver's in love with. Overall, Dreams of an Absolution is a story about a naive, insecure time traveller who wants to make up for what he did wrong in '06 (trying to kill the "Iblis Trigger" A.K.A. Sonic).

Im still surprised by how much I enjoy Starline as a character. A terrifyingly competent enemy held back by his need for praise from his hero. What are your thoughts on the different character designs they had for him? Seems they went through a couple designs before settling on the one in the comic. Is this one your favorite or would you have preferred one of the other designs? That’s a fair criticism of the Neo Metal arc btw. I COMPLETELY forgot he was looking for Eggman that whole time.

I know throughout the series metal gets newer models and revisions i do wonder if they are entirely different robots or if it retains stored memories from the previous iteration

Thought this was a Metal Sonic episode. Been avoiding Speed Reading because I want to read the books first. Still watched it all the way through to support both you and my bot, Metal. Keep up the good work!

Me: **sees notification of new Game Apologist upload on phone** Also me: *immediately changes what I'm watching on my Xbox to it all while yelling "WOOOOOOOOOO" the entire time getting the video up*

I'm pretty sure that Metal Sonic retreating back to that base were Dr. Starline was using to remind eggman or Checked some systems in another base to find someone else being in that eggman base.

Uh..... there actually were Platypus characters in Archie Sonic. The main one was a Freedom Fighter named Bill The Platypus who would later become a Grandmaster to the Dark Egg Legion (though he was in this position as a cover so he could help his Freedom Fighter pals ruin Robotnik's plans)

With the memories, Eggmans acting skill probably came back too.

Okay so I think the reason metal sonic went back to eggmans base wasn't because he knew eggman was there but because he knew he could bring his weapons back online there and go back out for his search for robotnik cause going to robotnik without weapons would be useless if he wasn't at his base and metal sonic had no idea where eggman was staying while he was mr tinker let alone who Mr tinker even is so that's my reasoning for why metal sonic just strolls into the base it's pure coincidence, starline brings tinker to the base to fix him and metal brings himself to the base to fix himself and they happen to run into each other setting everything in motion this coulda been conveyed better if metal sonic had a voice but it's implied pretty well through the art work

He's always had to be told by others not to. Really hate it, because it exists just so they can say "well Sonic, if you didn't free him, he wouldn't have brought Eggman back" which itself was contrived that he just magically can find Eggman when he was looking for him for months after Eggman went AWOL and couldn't, let alone that Metal Sonic was the thing that happened to jog his memory and bring him back.

Not sure if it’s a cannon program in these comics but metal has a core programming for him to always seek out Robotnik or a close enough counterpart

I like how the title of this video obviously applies to Metal, yet if you think about it carefully, it also applies to Eggman. Sonic was faced with a moral dilemma concerning Mr. Tinker, made what he believed to be the right choice, and it backfired. Not only does Metal return in this comic because of Sonic's choices, but Eggman also does, albeit with a bit of help from some sinister others. Which of these is Sonic's greatest foe returning because of what he did as referenced in the title... is really up to the interpretation of the viewer.

His compassion got the better of him, like with Optimus Prime countles times.

I'm guessing this was SEGA's meddling. Back in the old days, Sonic would just destroy Metal, and Eggman would build a new one. But I think SEGA wants to push the narrative that it's the same robot every time

In the defense of the use of gems, that’s what the sonic world is built on. The magic gems. I have a feeling that theirs going to be more gems, and maybe even add some context as to why they do this, like how the planet attracts meteors with more of these gems. But the world is based on these gems, so I believe there will be more to come.

Always good stuff toot toot! Being an apologist is a part of life Sonic warriors!😎😂😎

Kinda wish tinkerer traits remained, but not out of kindness, but rather realizing his robots are bad because he abuses their heads quite often, damaging processors. Heck, maybe he realizes launching potted plants is cheaper than even the dolls from sonic adventure, so he lets that still happen with full knowledge metal will have fun breaking them, and his other ai can now cut things more efficiently. And that's the biggest thing here, it must be efficient in his eyes, even if it's because it's harmless to keep the habit of he changes the afterwards.

Well look on the brightside. Atleast sonic didn't give him a fucking senzu bean again and let him hide in the planet so he can vomit a laser at him.
