#silver sonic prototype

Mecha TYP-E outta be my favorite design…

Bionic drawing moment, although for reasons that imply Spoiler I don't draw him as much, I feel obliged to do it now but without giving context why I want him too, I think that just by seeing him they will know better which robot he is.

Alright 3rd installment of this art dump

First we have sonic the hedgehog roboticized and weaponized by robotnik himself now named MECHA sonic made to look like his STH3&K mixed with his Archie design armed with new features as you can see metals black shield fighting the chaotix heaviest hitters knuckles Julie-su and mighty

Second knuckles vs metal knuckles we need more art of these two

Third Fleetway sonic vs ENERJAK

And finally the brotherhood of metallix with recognizable faces such as rocket metal sonic, Silver sonic mark I , Silver sonic mark III , two shadow androids , metal scourge , a metal sonic trooper , metal knuckles , silver sonic prototype , silver sonic mark II and finally emperor METALLIX fun fact the emperor isn’t metal sonic it’s … a certain Mecha

The original paper got ruined I spilled water on accident

Like, under no circumstances can I be convinced that this

was Eggman's first attempt at making a Sonic robot, and this

came later.

I've seen some people argue that this, the first Mecha Sonic, was just a prototype that Robotnik hurriedly sent out to delay Sonic, but that's not how Sonic 2 (8-bit) actually works.

In most of the Master System/Game Gear games, including Sonic 2, Robotnik doesn't fight Sonic in the level bosses. The boss fights at the end of each zone are enhanced Badniks or unique robots, Robotnik himself doesn't step in and fight the heroes until the last boss of the game.

Sonic isn't chasing Robotnik across South Island to recover Tails, with Robotnik throwing increasingly-desperate countermeasures at him as he gets closer. Robotnik has already made it back to his fortress in Crystal Egg Zone, with his scheme being to send Sonic to gather the Chaos Emeralds in order to make a trade for Tails' safe return.

Everything in this game is following Robotnik's exact plan until Sonic actually reaches the fortress. He doesn't need to throw a desperate last-ditch attempt to stop Sonic out, because he wants Sonic to bring him the Emeralds. Heck, early in the game, Robotnik actually saves Sonic from certain death via bottomless pit.

Given that Mecha Sonic itself had a Chaos Emerald, Robotnik seemingly put a lot of faith in this robot, and presumably expected it to beat Sonic and claim the rest of the Emeralds from him. This wasn't a crappy prototype, it was a genuine attempt to replicate Sonic that Robotnik expected to work. With that in mind, I cannot for a moment believe that it was built before Metal Sonic.
