I’m picking Neo Metal because his design and actual personality are way better than regular metals, and also regular metal has been in so much sonic media in recent years with zero personality or interesting moments. Really goes to show how over saturation can ruin a character
@@ezronco.8671the idw comics have shown off his personality without the ability to speak better than the games usually did even if they did still show NEO early in the comics
Neo Metal is a cool character I hope we see again. Metal looked pretty depressed when he reverted back to his original form back in the early 2000’s. He’s had 2 decades of games to plan a retaliation. Metal should get the Xmen 97 Bastion treatment where he learns from the mistakes of all the other Sonic baddies and evolves into a true threat post Sonic Frontiers
Wouldn't you be depressed if you lost so badly that you reverted back to just being a metal version of an existing character after you had finally managed to become your own individual?
Yeah I don’t think neo metal Sonics design needs to be permanent because then he loses the core aspects of what metal sonic is, a metal version of Sonic. And even his ability to talk should stay exclusive to neo metal because it goes with the theme that metal sonic and sonic are polar opposites of each other, sonic talks a lot saves nature and cares for others. Metal is cold and dark, doesn’t speak and willingly destroys nature. It’s a machine vrs nature thing and I like to keep it like that
No, but he should be Metal’s form when taking over the world with Eggman, or at least trying to, since he fights better in his Neo form than in his normal form
@@SoundwaveSuperior6969 I still think his original form shows what metal really is, a reflection of sonic, you loose that with Neo metal. In my eyes original metal sonic is special because he’s the only sonic robot that can almost outmatch the original, mecha sonic marks 1 & 2 both failed to kill sonic and even other metal sonic variants like metal sonic 3.0. I love his Neo metal design but I want more games to show metal’s character like they did in cd and even the sonic OVA, I’d recommend watching it if you love metal sonic
Different villains for different roles. Neo has too much of a big boss appearance for the henchman role, but standard Metal Sonic looks like a perfect robotic enforcer. On the flip side, standard Metal would appear underrated as a final boss, especially following Perfect Chaos and the Finalhazard.
Neo metal sonic had recently been added to the Roblox game including a boss fight against his non overlord form which was a treat for someone who grew up with sonic heroes If only it was in a real sonic game tho cause the Roblox is kinda too easy
Loved it and made him a actual formidable villian for even the likes of Shadow and Sonic. If they could bring him back he would prob be universal level in present day Sega for the feats Sonic and Shadow have done since.
Neo Metal Sonic so much cooler than regular Metal Sonic, I wish he stayed like that, or at the very least kept his ability to speak, his lack of a voice in normal form makes him kinda boring, but I definitely wouldn’t want him to be annoying like Chaos Sonic from Sonic Prime though.
Something no one ever talks about that I think more people should. Eggman in SA1 fought Perfect Choas head on with his fleet. Eggman didn't even hesitate to directly fight what is essentially the God of choas in their universe but he literally told his fleet to retreat and stated that Neo Metal Sonic can only be beaten with nothing less than the 7 emeralds. He wasn't scared of Perfect Choas but was actually scared of Neo Metal Sonic.
Neo Metal Sonic is basically "we forgot that it was MECHA Sonic who did all the ability copying, indomitability, and going rogue stuff, so we're giving that stuff to Metal instead".
Quick note, Metal Overlord might just be one of the most powerful Sonic Villains just by game mechanics. He has Chaos data, Shadow and Omega's data, Team Sonics, and whatever benefits he could get from the Chaotix. And whilst it does take Super Sonic, Tails and Knuckles to beat him, remember that even then they can't harm him with regular attacks. Metal can only be damaged in his 2nd phase with the ultra-powerful Team Blast, AND EVEN THEN, it takes several of those in order to finally beat him.
Damn i feel bad for metal sonic now with the recent shadow generations update trailer out and about. Cause now he gotta get his ass beat not once but twice by both classic sonic and now shadow.
I prefer how Metal looks normally, but i admit this is a badass form for him. If he ever comes back with a multi phase fight, let him slip into this for Phase 2.
Neo is proof that Metal Sonic is one of the biggest threats that Sonic fought! Not to mention he can transform to Neo Overlord, that freaky robotic dragon form
Neo Metal Sonic makes an appearance in Archie Comics Sonic series. A whole army of them appears at one point fighting in defense of Sonic; shockingly, this was commissioned by the King of Acorn and built by Sonic’s Uncle Chuck (both much to Sonic’s chagrin). The logic was that since Sonic had been lost in space for over a year, they needed something to keep Eggman at bay if Sonic ever disappeared again. As for the Metal Sonic design (which is what Sonic was really upset about), Uncle Chuck simply stated, “Robotnik doesn’t own a copyright on it.”
I like Neo Metal Sonic, especially what they did in the idw comics at the beginning of the metal virus story (the beginning was good but man it really slowly went down hill.). What they did with him was good, but the ending to this part of the story was just keeping the status quo because of Sega's stupid decision making. But over all, issues 1-12 or 13 was pretty good for the most part.
Honestly I think Neo gets screwed by the plot more than anything. In Sonic heroes, he copies the DNA of all of the main heroes, but somehow never thinks to copy the energy of the chaos emeralds or the master emerald, which Knuckles just leaves laying around. We're talking about a Metal with Sonic's intuition AND Eggman's sheer brilliance. Then we get to IDW and he completely just sells, over and over again. If Metal was allowed to just win for once, he'd be unstoppable.
Neo Metal's so fricking badass, he surpasses that of base Metal. But I do prefer he remains as his base but occasionally is upgraded to Neo after a while, just like in the comics
Dude i paused when you said his design was badass and all i heard was bad, dude i was about to go off, Neo Metal is like my favorite lil’ guy, hes just so cute.
I prefer the classic design. Neo Metal didnt do much in that form. Until he became Metal Madness. Neo gained a Liquid pudding, a better morph copy where he can disguise himself as character, and talk. But I feel like Eggman could easily patch talking into him if he wanted. You never battle him in this form, I always felt this was a huge missed opportunity, You finally see him in full view and he immediately transforms again
Okay, I got to ask, before UA-cam became a thing that everyone uses, did anyone else think that Neo Metal Sonic was really a Metal Shadow? It’s the streaks. As cool as they are, they are just super misleading. Not to mention the shape of the spikes look more like Shadow’s quills too.
Neo is Metal Sonic as a emo Teenager rebelling against his parent, while Metal Sonic is baby boy who respects his parent and bullies Sonic (by parent, I mean Eggman lol)
I like neo metal sonic but besides his plotting I think he's very underutilized in the games (I count metal overlord as a separate thing). I wish they would show up a few more times.
The way I see it, Neo Metal Sonic is the better version since, in this form, he goes from being a Sonic faker to a being that goes beyond Sonic's limits at that point of time in the series
despite me liking neo metal's look, it looks hella inpratical for fighting (atleast in the way metal tradicionaly fights) which is why I prefer his normal look
neo can become the strongest if he copys the data of the most powerful beings in all of existins so this is the strongest video game charecter if not the strongest of all time like stronger then god himself but other then that i prefer neo metel sonic
Me personally I think Neo is one of the coolest villains in the Sonic franchise
Same

@@EnglishAaron yes
He did turn back Neo again in the IDW comics though (They're canon)
And he’s returning in sonic x shadow generations
I like both. But i kinda wish he still had a voice outside of Neo Metal Sonic.
Glad I'm able to play as him in speed simulator because I get to see that rad design every time 👍
"Neo Metal Sonic" should've been Metal Sonic's new permanent design .
mmmmmm no, but it should have returned more often than just one more time in the comics
Yeah I don’t think neo metal Sonics design needs to be permanent because then he loses the core aspects of what metal sonic is, a metal version of Sonic.

Neo Metal Sonic for sure. His character was my favorite part of Sonic Heroes, and I always felt like we should've gotten a sequel.

He’s always been my favorite iteration of metal sonic 😊
If metal sonic is in Sonic 3, I'd really love to see his Neo version in the movie
Not to be mean, but i doubt something as big as neo metal could appear, id say thats a bit too far. Its most likely gonna focus more on shadow obv.
Neo metal sonic had recently been added to the Roblox game including a boss fight against his non overlord form which was a treat for someone who grew up with sonic heroes
If only it was in a real sonic game tho cause the Roblox is kinda too easy
I always thought his name was Metal Overlord, and his transformation was Metal Madness.
I always figured Neo was an Archie comic name for him.
He’s the single coolest design of the character ever made and criminally underused
Underrated as heck
Most badass villain in Sonic franchise
Neo Metal Sonic needs to appear in another game. I would love to see him as the main villain again
The pinnacle of metal sonic
Loved it and made him a actual formidable villian for even the likes of Shadow and Sonic. If they could bring him back he would prob be universal level in present day Sega for the feats Sonic and Shadow have done since.
Neo and metal are both perfect
I want both of the designs
It actually took 3 super forms to take down metal overlord.
Neo Metal Sonic has a dedicated character arc in the IDW comics, working for Eggman this time.
Sort of.
Sonic Heroes is my favorite Sonic game. 🙌🏻
i love both neo metal sonic and regular metal sonics designs i think they're both well designed characters in terms of looks

Considering Heroes is my all time favorite game yall already know i would love to see Neo again
Neo Metal Sonic is basically "we forgot that it was MECHA Sonic who did all the ability copying, indomitability, and going rogue stuff, so we're giving that stuff to Metal instead".
I don't think he went rogue as much as he was trying to carry out Robotnik's plan after he went out of commission.
I WANT NOW A REMAKE OF SONIC HEROES
A shame he doesn't show up ever again

Neo Metal and Team Dark are really the only things I like about Sonic Heroes, ngl.

Neo needs more love in the games ngl, we already have Jakks figures, comics, Sonic Speed Sim, but not the mainline games

It's a shame we've never got to see the process of Metal Sonic achieving this form. Not even in that Sonic Forces Mod called Overclock.

Best villain till my boy mephiles popped on scene
One of the coolest villans in the franchise, miss my 2000s sonic stuff
Neo metal is a underatted character.he is basically super metal sonic but,imagine super neo metal sonic
Well, it does exist but only in the idw comics
“Whyyyyyyyy I had it alllllllll!!!!!”
I think it’s criminal for them to not bring back Neo Metal Sonic in the games again
For me neo should have been the "modern" sonic of metal. It always looks strange to me seeing classic based metal next to modern sonic
I prefer the classic design.
Neo Metal didnt do much in that form. Until he became Metal Madness.
Neo gained a Liquid pudding, a better morph copy where he can disguise himself as character, and talk. But I feel like Eggman could easily patch talking into him if he wanted.

Neo was amazing. Metal overlord is a bit much tho. I wish metal was in more games
Neo is pretty badass

It’s the streaks. As cool as they are, they are just super misleading. Not to mention the shape of the spikes look more like Shadow’s quills too.
I found out about neo metal sonic from sonic speed simulator but i especially know him from the books, but i really like him
Personally, I prefer Metal’s original design, but for a few games where HE is the final boss, Neo Metal is perfect!
The only sonic games I played were sonic 1, 2 3&K and then Heroes.
So the whole time I thought Neo Metal sonic was just Mecha sonic from S3&K
I love Neo Metal Sonic, but quills are too wacky lol
not only did it take super sonic but also super powered tails and knuckles alongside him
I wish metal sonic broke free once again so he could become neo once again
Hes also in some of the sonic books, if im not wrong is in books 2 and 3 but hes showed the most in book 3
He can also transform into Super as seen in IDW
Neo is Metal Sonic as a emo Teenager rebelling against his parent, while Metal Sonic is baby boy who respects his parent and bullies Sonic (by parent, I mean Eggman lol)
I like the classic metal sonic
Neo metal sonic!
I like neo metal sonic but besides his plotting I think he's very underutilized in the games (I count metal overlord as a separate thing). I wish they would show up a few more times.
When I was younger, I used to think Mecha Sonic from SMBZ was influenced by Neo Metal Sonic.
Neo metal sonic just looks like the edgy version on metal sonic, like Metal sonic was metal and Neo metal sonic is heavy metal. XD
The way I see it, Neo Metal Sonic is the better version since, in this form, he goes from being a Sonic faker to a being that goes beyond Sonic's limits at that point of time in the series
I really like this take on Metal Sonic where he goes both T1000 and Ultron.
I AM METAL SONIC I AM THE REAL SONIC
i love neo metal sonic
neo is cool but it was a massive waste that there was no boss fight against his base form. underutilized for sure
despite me liking neo metal's look, it looks hella inpratical for fighting (atleast in the way metal tradicionaly fights) which is why I prefer his normal look
Neo metal sonic my king
My favorite character and my favorite form of his
Egg
Bro can solo any exes
Neo is the coolest metal
That’s a skirt, not a cape lol
I like both the design
The fact that neo metal sonic can go super is wild
Archie sonic > super neo metal sonic > hyper sonic > ultra sonic
beside's the long ah transformation yea i call Neo
Super neo metal sonic is a menace
I WANT NEO METAL BACK PLEASE
Neo
Yeah I like it
I like Neo Metal Sonic.
Neo metal sonic is better then The original metal sonic
personally i prefer silver sonic from sonic 2,
neo i have it in speed
Neo metal sonic hes cooler and a better verson
Metal fell off after getting defeated in Sonic Heroes
Neo only failed bc of Ivo
É esse metal Sonic aí tentando o jogo do Sonic forces Big battle mc Léo metal Sonic
All life form data… successfully copied!
He copied the datas of chaos and shadow giving him that power
Neo metal is stronger than metal sonic regular form
neo can become the strongest if he copys the data of the most powerful beings in all of existins so this is the strongest video game charecter if not the strongest of all time like stronger then god himself but other then that i prefer neo metel sonic
Neo duh
