Now we are almost back up to presant day! Made this artwork for the anniversary of Dream BBQ. I am very very proud of how it turned out, I couldn't be happier with this artwork and how much love it has received. This is a redraw of that unused thumbnail sketch for the steam page for Dream BBQ.

We need to have a conversation about how Metal does think he's LITERALLY Sonic.

Metal is not stupid. He knows that he's a robot created by Eggman. His rant as Metal Overload in Heroes was less of an identity crisis and more of a god complex.

He doesn’t call Sonic his "loathsome copy" because he thinks Sonic is literally his copy, it’s because he thinks of himself as superior, and as such he might as well be the copy. In that moment, he's taken that name as his, not because he truly thinks he's Sonic the hedgehog, but because he thinks that he deserves to be Sonic more than Sonic himself. He's better, so he HAS to be the one to keep the name.

That one Metal Virus IDW panel of him having a crisis over not being infected by the virus doesn't mean he literally didn't knew he's a robot. It means that he was incapable of doing something that Sonic could (aka be infected by the virus) and thus he's failing at his entire life purpose, because he can't be better than Sonic and it’s not any fault of his own. He’s failing because Sonic is organic and Metal is not. Which is something he couldn’t control or have a say on. He was just made like that.

The truth is that Metal doesn't see "Sonic" as a person. Being "the real Sonic" isn't about Sonic's identity as an individual. Metal sees "Sonic" as a title of worth, the same way Shadow sees "the ultimate lifeform" as a title of worth.

Just like Shadow gave Sonic that title in the SA2 final boss as a way of respect, not because Sonic was LITERALLY the ultimate lifeform, but because that title meant his entire worth to Shadow, and giving it away meant accepting that Sonic was better than him. Metal clings into calling himself "the real Sonic" because he won't allow himself to accept defeat. To accept that Sonic is better. Because then his existence would be for nothing. He'd be useless. He'd be pointless. He'd be worthless. He'd be nothing.

Because if he REALLY wanted to be literally Sonic you'd see him imitating Sonic more. Having more of his personality traits. Look like he's TRYING to behave like Sonic the person. And he only does that in, what? CD? And the OVA too but that's just a different characterization.

Metal doesn't want to be "Sonic" the person, he's thriving for the CONCEPT of Sonic the Hedgehog. The concept of a Sonic. He wants to be BETTER than Sonic. Better at everything he does, and only then he'll bw worth existing, and thus be worth of being "the real Sonic"

In short. Metal doesn't literally think he's the real Sonic. He sees "Sonic" less as a person and more of a tittle. A reward of sorts. A symbol of his worth. He's not stupid. He knows he's a robot and Sonic existed first. Being "the real Sonic" is about being the better Sonic, not the first to exist.

Metal's character is about self worth. And he'll never quite reach what he thinks he needs to be happy, because he's competing against someone who's worth comes from himself and not from a power struggle. And that's why Sonic is the real one. That's why Sonic will always come on top; Sonic can be contempt with himself, but Metal Sonic is unable to like himself without putting someone else down.
