Hyper Metal Sonic made an impressive first impression to Sonic, out-speeding him before Sonic could reach the doctor. He then proceeds to out maneuver and out skill his original.

Hyper Metal Sonic can scan the land for environmental weakpoints.
  +
*As Metal Sonic destroyed the Land of the Sky slowly over time, Metal, through his connection with Sonic, overheard a faster way for his mission. Knuckles speculate a possibility of how Metal may be able to speed up his destruction. By melting the glaciers at the North Pole that held the Land of the Sky, it would lead to destabilization to the floating islands and hurl them into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, Sonic overhears. Immediately learning of this idea, Metal flew over to the North Pole.
  +
*Given a vague description on where he should target, Metal was shown scanning the area, strongly suggesting to be looking for a weak-point in the environment and attacked it.

Summary

Hyper Metal Sonic (ハイパーメタルソニック Haipā Metaru Sonikku), or just Metal (メタル Metaru), is one of the two main antagonists of the two-episode 1996 Japanese anime series; Sonic OVA.

Dr. Robotnik's scheme (presumed to be the latest in this continuity) is to create a copy of his greatest adversary, Sonic the Hedgehog, in order to defeat him once and for all. Using trickery and the life force data of his fleshy donor, Dr. Robotnik successfully created his greatest creation yet.

Hyper Metal Sonic made an impressive first impression to Sonic, out-speeding him before Sonic could reach the doctor. He then proceeds to out maneuver and out skill his original. In his 1st fight, Metal came out as the winner.

In a twist of fate, Metal shared a mental link between himself and Sonic. During the OVA, Metal knew everything Sonic knew, like his favorite clothes and the location of the ice caps at the North Pole. This connection went both ways for the Hedgehogs, as they understood what the other was going to do. At one point in his fight at the North Pole, Tails used Robotnik's tech to transfer Sonic's personality to Metal but was only able to give him free will before being interrupted by Robotnik. Metal ultimately died in lava, deciding only one of them should continue to exist.

A robot created for destruction, Metal in his final moments choose to rescue 2 bystanders from harm. But he refuses Sonic's hand to be saved.

Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Flew from one side of the planet to the other in a few minutes.[4] Matched and exceeded Sonic in speed)

Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Is considered by Dr. Robotnik as his greatest creation to date,[5] heavily implying Metal to be superior to his guard robots. Is stronger than Tails, having evenly clashed with Sonic,[6] as Sonic stopped the Robot Generator[7] after Tails couldn't)

Striking Strength: Small City level+

Durability: Small City level+ (Took a beating from Sonic. Survived the explosion that made a mountain fall down), higher with Bubble Shield

Hyper Metal Sonic can scan the land for environmental weakpoints.

  • As Metal Sonic destroyed the Land of the Sky slowly over time, Metal, through his connection with Sonic, overheard a faster way for his mission. Knuckles speculate a possibility of how Metal may be able to speed up his destruction. By melting the glaciers at the North Pole that held the Land of the Sky, it would lead to destabilization to the floating islands and hurl them into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, Sonic overhears. Immediately learning of this idea, Metal flew over to the North Pole.
  • Given a vague description on where he should target, Metal was shown scanning the area, strongly suggesting to be looking for a weak-point in the environment and attacked it.

Notes/Explanations

Note:
  1. ↑ Despite being considered by Dr. Robotnik himself to be his greatest creation, Metal Sonic does not automatically upscale from Metal Robotnik's stats because of that, as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles struggled against Metal Robotnik's grip. Sonic the Hedgehog only ended up hurting himself on Metal Robotnik when he attacked without using his Spin Attack and Sonic is able to exchange blows with Metal Sonic without receiving the same damage.
