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.
That would definitely make sense, also could double as a nod to Scrapnik Mecha Sonic since he is also made up of various robot parts to replace what he is missing.
Ah I see what you mean, in SMBZ Metal Sonic fuses with other metallic copies of the blue hedgehog and transforms into Turbo Mecha Sonic the one we know and love.
I mean it could be a possibility, as the IDW comics have referenced Mecha Sonics famous "I'll crush you" from super Mario bros z so it might be possible
scenario: amalgam is fighter over which is eggman's prized bot, metal comes in, his eyes covered in shadow, "amateurs" amalgam responds "what did you say" metal replies his red eyes doing that anime star thing, "heh heh… AMATEURS" you can guess what happens next.
Alternatively, they only argue with metal sonic because the rest follow orders even after eggman has way past abandoned them and the plan. Example a, mecha sonic from sonic 3 and knuckles.
@@GameApologist Do you pick where you place your ads in your videos? if you do please choose a different arrangement cause you always have ads at the most hyped moments and that's really really obnoxious.
@@GameApologist I actually really like your ads! Most UA-camrs go on for like 5 minutes for just one ad, yours is just one which is much more respectable.
Just imagine if they gave Amalgam an extra set of arms! Also this would make for an absolutely awesome action figure. Still waiting for Jakks Pacific to make a figure of mecha mk 2..
the best part about Minecraft is you don't even have to "git gud" at it, there's a whole side of the community that uses the blocks to make crazy pixel art in creative mode, and that's just ONE of the thousands of different ways to play it, so i hope you have lots of fun playing the game in all kinds of different ways
The Sonic Texture Pack looks really good. Amalgam Mecha Sonic is such a cool design and concept. I could see this design being implemented in the IDW Comics if Mecha Sonic ever decided to upgrade his body and uses the parts from previous Mecha models to become stronger.
I can totally see this as the next evolution of Scrapnik Mecha Sonic, and I really hope we see more of this design in the future. Maybe not as a villain, but as a secondary antagonist who ends up butting heads with Sonic due to his own mission and goals, similar to how Knuckles did in the past.
So if the concept artist looked at your mecha march maddness videos then that means you helped influence an official Sonic crossover unintentionally. I find that funny.
with all those parts mashed together makes me think of Scrapnik Mecha, but revived and back in action (also the first design after summoning, also reminds me of Scrapnik Mecha)
I think it’s cool how the Sonic Adventure bot’s limbs are placed in the exact same spots that Scrapnik Mecha Sonic’s limbs are missing, easy detail to overlook but really shows how thoroughly this design was thought out
I personally think AmalgaMecha literally murdered every other sonic robot, and used their parts to build himself again, kind of like a bad ending of scrapnik Mecha
I finally got the pack myself (and am working on a fanmade SFX addon) and love the little details of the textures themselves. Plus, they will be updating it for future versions!
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
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!
One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention is the fact that the parts replaced by the other Mecha Sonic parts are also the parts missing from Mark 2 in the Scrapnik Island comics.
YES!!! MY BOY!!! I rllly hope he makes a video on that guy dude I love him second best character to kitsunami!!! Funni evil 2000s guy!!! I like to think he’s just a edgy teenager, probably shopped at hot topic
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
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.
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.
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
10:05 *Oh snap....* *That first color scheme (the grey with orange lights) looks scarily similar to the Starved Eggman Creepypasta version of Metal Sonic, AKA "Furnace". I wonder if that was intentional....* He also somewhat resembles the faded colors of Scrapnik's Mecha Sonic as well... ALSO, THIS TECHNICALLY MAKES SMBZ'S MECHA SONIC CANON IN A WAY SINCE HE "TOOK PARTS" OF HIS PREVIOUS VERSIONS TO IMPROVE HIMSELF. WHAT.
yeah this basically cannon metallix for me now, imagine power the for amalgam, long arms for grabs, literally saw spin dash, no run, just whells and boost, shooting laser from the "eye" chest, heck imagine if he got more of a metal sonic "heroes" and he just makes weapons of other metals, like imagine he just transforms his arm into claws of metal, or the grab claws, or perhaps the "maybe" fingers guys of sa2 mecha sonic
SO COOL that you're doing a video on this guy! Really the whole texture pack needs more acknowledgement because it has a TON of cool references while having a whole bunch of its own unique ideas
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
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
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.
16:51 There is that whole mania continuity there isn't any comics of... Perhaps in an alternate timeline a harsh fate could come upon our beloved mecha like this...
Yeah I noticed that too, and Furnace (for those who doesn't know what it is) is a creation of Starved Eggman from the creepypasta who used it to cook the mobians animals and Sonic is included. Yep, in this creepypasta Sonic died against Starved and Furnace, and it's up to Tails to stop him from eating the mobians. Yeah, I know, it's very dark.
I wonder if they had super Mario bros z on their mind when making amalgam mecha sonic because the mecha from smbz was also a combination of different sonic robots
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.
Watchin this with me new son butters. A lil cream/light orange shorthair cat we had just gotten yesterday. And now I’m showing him all of the Mecha march madness videos cause I love them so much.
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?
For your next Mecha March Madness, you could cover Metal K.O. from the OK K.O. Let’s be heroes sonic crossover! Just something to think about. It’s a show I loved very much when it was around.
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! :)
Glad I wasn't the only person who thought so. The resemblance is honestly uncanny, especially with how popular that design ended up becoming in the Sonic-FNF umbrella community
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?
Given Mecha Sonic/Metallix in SMBZ was a Metal Sonic who merged with Silver/Robo Sonic and Mecha Sonic, I'm just imagining dimensional shenanigans occur where Shard and a repaired IDW! Mecha Sonic and Mecha Knuckles merge together to face off against SMBZ!Mecha Sonic and barely surviving when Archie Sonic arrives.
I love the fact that the patron read-off is its own moment to look forward to. When we first started getting full sentences would be the moment this became an enjoyable part as well as the content itself
I'm a heavy Metal Sonic fan boy, but Jesus Christ dude. The idea, the execution, and the callbacks Amalgam is able to pull off is just so sick. Been wanting to nab this pack ever since I saw him on Twitter, lmao.
7:32 "Apparently, this is the toughest boss in the game". Well, if we count only the mobs with boss bars as bosses, then kinda, yeah, but in terms of strongest mobs overall... *(Warden steps in)*
The Minecraft skin of mecha sonic the Scrapnik island IDW comics AND the SMBZ I'LL CRUSH YOU reference NOW THIS?! Oh come on you can't tell me this is a dream come true.
7:08 *oh god I hope that he doesnt start yelling things like "I'll crush you" or "not even the ultimate lifeform can stop me"* 10:23 ah shit it's furnace!
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)
I used to watch all you videos 3 years ago to a year ago! I kind of stopped just for no real reason, and this came out and hit my recommended and forgot how awesome you are! AND I AM SO MAD I DIDNT NOTICE MOST OF THESE REFERENCES ON MECHA!!! I need to play this texture stuff more lol
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.
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!
Wow. I didn't even know this texture pack existed until today; no one I know even mentioned it, probably because they didn't know either. This is very cool! I want it.

@@goldencyanrod64 I mean they referenced Dragon Ball Z Abridged, referencing Super Mario Bros Z wouldn't be surprising.
Also, the left thigh of the concept design looks like it might be from the Sandopolis Zone golem.
the idea of them having split personalities is VERY cool
i imagine they fight a lot
Fighting over which one gets to tell Eggman that they finally beat sonic 😂
Amalgam Mecha Sonic -- Ennard
scenario: amalgam is fighter over which is eggman's prized bot, metal comes in, his eyes covered in shadow, "amateurs" amalgam responds "what did you say" metal replies his red eyes doing that anime star thing, "heh heh… AMATEURS" you can guess what happens next.
Alternatively, they only argue with metal sonic because the rest follow orders even after eggman has way past abandoned them and the plan. Example a, mecha sonic from sonic 3 and knuckles.
Or he could have Neo's DNA computer and gain semi-sentience
It was nice talking about the pack with you on Twitter!! ❤

You should replace the background ambience with Sonic BGM

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.

He also somewhat resembles the faded colors of Scrapnik's Mecha Sonic as well...
ALSO, THIS TECHNICALLY MAKES SMBZ'S MECHA SONIC CANON IN A WAY SINCE HE "TOOK PARTS" OF HIS PREVIOUS VERSIONS TO IMPROVE HIMSELF. WHAT.
Okay yeah I see it
SMBZ Mecha was (probably) already canon when he said the thing in Scrapnik Island
yeah this basically cannon metallix for me now, imagine power the for amalgam, long arms for grabs, literally saw spin dash, no run, just whells and boost, shooting laser from the "eye" chest, heck imagine if he got more of a metal sonic "heroes" and he just makes weapons of other metals, like imagine he just transforms his arm into claws of metal, or the grab claws, or perhaps the "maybe" fingers guys of sa2 mecha sonic
Honestly seeing this thing in any new media would be amazing - its such a cool concept
The fact that emerl from battle is here is crazy neat even if just a painting. These people love sonic
The whole Mecha Metal Sonic stuff is so fascinating.
It unironically kinda looks like MetalX from Mario bros Z, which is cool because they’re also a fusion of all the metal Sonics
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.
Amalgam seems like the kind of character that would become super obscure in 10-20 years imo
SO COOL that you're doing a video on this guy! Really the whole texture pack needs more acknowledgement because it has a TON of cool references while having a whole bunch of its own unique ideas

was looking for someone to say it. its actually really similar to how furnace looks. especially since apparently furnace is a prototype of S3&K mecha
Yeah I noticed that too, and Furnace (for those who doesn't know what it is) is a creation of Starved Eggman from the creepypasta who used it to cook the mobians animals and Sonic is included.

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.
The Endermen being the robots from Frontiers are hilarious
11:19 i like Wayne's Cathedral Palace Zone it looks like something that would be in Sonic's word maybe an extension of Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic 3
This has got to be one of the coolest videos about Sonic I have seen, and its about Sonic in Minecraft
Watchin this with me new son butters. A lil cream/light orange shorthair cat we had just gotten yesterday. And now I’m showing him all of the Mecha march madness videos cause I love them so much.
I honestly think the Cow should have been Cow bot from the Sonic boom franchise what a missed opportunity
Its even better on switch, because of the mario mashup pack, so you could do a smbz reference
holy shit i can't believe they made a Sonic bot equivalent of Creation from TJOC in MINECRAFT of all games
Ngl sonic superstars would be a good spot to put em be even crazier if he was the secret playable character
I immediately noticed the gun fingers in the thumbnail and remembered the mecha sonic from sa1, that is so cool!
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?
For your next Mecha March Madness, you could cover Metal K.O. from the OK K.O. Let’s be heroes sonic crossover! Just something to think about. It’s a show I loved very much when it was around.
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! :)
The phase 1 amalgam mecha color scheme reminds me of Furnace from the Sonic.exe v3 mod for FNF.
Glad I wasn't the only person who thought so. The resemblance is honestly uncanny, especially with how popular that design ended up becoming in the Sonic-FNF umbrella community
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?
Oh my god I never even thought about checking out the paintings when I played it
Also if you’d like some more people to play mc with hit me up 🌚
Given Mecha Sonic/Metallix in SMBZ was a Metal Sonic who merged with Silver/Robo Sonic and Mecha Sonic, I'm just imagining dimensional shenanigans occur where Shard and a repaired IDW! Mecha Sonic and Mecha Knuckles merge together to face off against SMBZ!Mecha Sonic and barely surviving when Archie Sonic arrives.
i smell a fanfic.
I would enjoy a proper mainline appearance, so long as it doesn't step over or undo Scrapnik
"THE mecha sonic"
the one that loves to yell:"ILL CRUSH YOU"
MechAmalgam
Thats what I’m calling it, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me
I love the fact that the patron read-off is its own moment to look forward to. When we first started getting full sentences would be the moment this became an enjoyable part as well as the content itself
I'm a heavy Metal Sonic fan boy, but Jesus Christ dude. The idea, the execution, and the callbacks Amalgam is able to pull off is just so sick. Been wanting to nab this pack ever since I saw him on Twitter, lmao.
I'm in LOVE with that concept design! 😍👍
If you think about it, that mini trash bot got a real yellow super form before metal
I love when you geek out when amalgum mecha sonic gone super
If IDW's Mecha Sonic ever joins the Resistance, we might see Amalgam be created
Always love to see silver sonic representation!
This design KICKS
Hey that dark gray / brown form really reminds me of the uhh Furnace Metal Sonic, yeah from the creppypasta
7:32 "Apparently, this is the toughest boss in the game".
Well, if we count only the mobs with boss bars as bosses, then kinda, yeah, but in terms of strongest mobs overall... *(Warden steps in)*
16:50 bro... We are getting superstars so... Let us pray he will appear
Congrats, you convinced me to buy this pack. There's so much love put into it, and it's wonderful to see!
The Minecraft skin of mecha sonic the Scrapnik island IDW comics AND the SMBZ I'LL CRUSH YOU reference NOW THIS?! Oh come on you can't tell me this is a dream come true.
I kinda love How mecha's entrace phase accidentally looks like furnace from starved eggman
"to give it a Sonic... SPIN!"
I am now skeleton
because i am dead
Fun fact the first form of the wither in the data pack looks like furnace from a sonic creepypasta
7:08 *oh god I hope that he doesnt start yelling things like "I'll crush you" or "not even the ultimate lifeform can stop me"*
10:23 ah shit it's furnace!
I love that design which is why I bought the pack when it released. I can't wait for that sonic superstars video btw
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
When I always come up with a sort of concept for metal sonic I like to take concepts from the other metals
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)
I used to watch all you videos 3 years ago to a year ago! I kind of stopped just for no real reason, and this came out and hit my recommended and forgot how awesome you are! AND I AM SO MAD I DIDNT NOTICE MOST OF THESE REFERENCES ON MECHA!!! I need to play this texture stuff more lol
Amalgam Mecha tickles the Ben 10 fan in me so much and I love it.
This sonic texture pack looks like the true Minecraft sonic game 🥹
( Great work gamemode one 👍👏 )
I'll be collecting insurance from this.
Ahh yes the Trinity of Best Mechas
Scrapnik mecha SMBZ Mecha and now the awesome Amalgam Mecha
10:05 looks like Furnace from Starved
Same
I love the Minecraft Artificial Chaos too
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.
i can approve of this metallic menace.
This Amalgam idea could be interesting in IDW, if Eggman gets his hand on Scrap Mecha or hell, just gets desperate with a few spare parts
It’s a beautiful design.
Okay, calming my sonic fan down and bringing my Minecraft fan off the leash, the warden is actually the most difficult.
Ok im excited for whenever a sprite animator uses this design for an animation of it against Sonic!
Wow. I love that they got them all in there!!!!
Damn, gotta make a fanart of the amalgam!
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!
6:25 thats the Halo map, you just awakned the wish for Sonic x Halo in me. somehow...
Wow. I didn't even know this texture pack existed until today; no one I know even mentioned it, probably because they didn't know either. This is very cool!
I want it.
