Randomly imagined an "Across the Sonicverse" while thinking of "Start A Band" with the ending scene being Sonic in the wrong universe, tied up, like in the movie, however Neo Metal Sonic steps up
But instead of a helmet opening, it melts away into the figure, revealing Sonic's face and it says
???: I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. But you... You can call me Metal Madness.
Sonic: If I don't get home... Tails will-
Sonic (?): Your Tails.
I imagine this alternate Tails is in the back watching everything.
...
And this is how I come up with an au where Sonic the Hedgehog has always been a helpful little robot saving the day from its creator Dr Eggman, who still considers him his greatest creation, and maybe he gets a bit edgier with time
IT'S AU O'CLOCK
Before he could make expressions, he would sharpie a smile onto his metal mouth to look less intimidating.
Tails got into engineering and mechanics to help his big robot sibling recover after a scuffle.
I imagine all instances of Metal Sonic appearing in canon are replaced with Mecha Sonic, with plot changed accordingly, so all those plots are now sibling vs sibling
This Sonic definitely would have a Neo Metal Sonic arc, where he gets the ability to copy bio-data and it's very confusing and conflicting. (Temporary villain maybe?)
Metal Virus goes totally different, for sure
This is the good brainworms

[ Simple Curiosity ]
HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY SONIC HEROES💙💛❤️ This was the most hype I've ever been in my life for a video game and that still hasn't changed after all this time~ That final boss fight was TOP TIER and "What I'm Made Of" is probably my favorite song from the entire Sonic series :D

Metal Madness - Metal Overlord rig tests
A while ago I started the process of re-rigging the models of Metal Madness and Metal Overlord because the rigs they came with had problems with them like a lack of bones in areas that should’ve had some to also just having weightpainting problems that downright made the Metal Overlord model in particular completely unusable. I took a break for a while because I’d gotten burnt out on rigging practice but at the time of this post I’ve finally finished the rig for Metal Madness, fixed any issues with it as well as adding to the rig, then applying this rig to Metal Overlord with any necessary changes such as adjusting the tail bone placements to fit the slightly shorter tail mesh and shortening the amount of body cable bones since the Overlord model has much shorter body cables.
Right now I don’t have any plans to release these new rigs publicly however if there’s enough demand for it then I don’t mind putting them up on some place like my DeviantArt.
Twitter (Yes I’m still gonna link that even though it’s always trying to fuck itself up the ass)

let’s talk about neo metal sonic.
Metal Sonic has definitely been a fan favorite over the years. He’s one of Sonic’s first rivals, next to Knuckles. He has been in many games. And Heroes, was to be honest, his big role overall in terms of story. I want to look at what his Neo form means, canonically and how people taken his Neo form within the fandom.
First, let’s start off with something, I’m gonna call Metal Neo from here on out. Neo, at his core, is honestly an insanely tragic character. He struggles with an identity crisis, the moment he has free will. He wants to be his own person so bad, but he’s still VERY much tied to Sonic. The purpose he’s meant to destroy and overcome.
And I also wanna say, a lot of Neo’s issues come from Eggman. I also wanna say, Eggman is nothing like his portrayal, fanon wise. This man is very selfish. He berates his creations, threatens to hurt them, and sees them as something he can use. Neo isn’t exempt from this. And before any brings up Sage,
I do like Eggman having a human moment with Sage, but just because an abusive parent is nice to one kid, it doesn’t mean he didn’t abuse his other kids. I don’t know where this whole “doting father” thing came from, but it’s fanon and something heavily Ian Flynn leans into, and it isn’t canon. (Like he literally blew that conch thing and just like. Messed up with the Zeti’s heads because they “disappointed him, and listed off things he’s “done for them”, Ik he’s a villian, point still stands.)
And because of this, it drives Neo, but at the cost... of a lot. It’s often hinted at that Neo actually really doesn’t fucking like Eggman and hates of the shit he says to him. Him failing to finally end Sonic. Him always being left to the side lines to just... die.
Sonic just leaving him, after the day ends. Or Eggman just leaving him there. Until he’s ready for the next mission, and whenever Eggman feels like it. Neo has no support system, and he’s just driven by this overall need to prove himself. To prove he’s not some unlovable failure to Sonic and to his creator.
youtube
“I WAS CREATED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DESTROYING YOU. BUT I COULD NEVER SEEM TO DEFEAT YOU. THAT IS WHY I TRANSFORMED MY OWN BODY WITH MY OWN HANDS. BUT THAT WAS THE PAST. NOW YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A SPEC OF DUST TO ME.”
“SEE ME AS I AM, NO LONGER AFRAID OF ANYTHING.”
Like, it’s quite clear that Neo DOES have feelings. If he weren’t alive, in some way, he wouldn’t be able to use chaos control during his fight with Sonic and co. And I think we all know what he’s afraid of. Afraid of, what they implying and saying about him is right. The only REAL person to try and reach out to Neo is, Shadow. And guess who was also used as a living weapon?
(I know Sonic has done so as well, but let’s be honest, those moments are kind of rare?)
They both were. Neo, really doesn’t have, anyone. He was viewed as a heartless, monster, who is obedient to Eggman, no matter what. He had nobody, and let’s be honest, Neo definitely ran away from Eggman to develop his Neo form and Metal Overlord. He was alone and gone, for God knows how long, and I’m gonna be honest, I think this form was him having a mental break down.
This stage is literally called “Metal Madness.” And God, let’s talk about his Neo form, for a bit.
Neo broke away from Eggman’s control and is FINALLY taking action for his own life. Sure, evil purposes, but still to him, he’s freed from Eggman shackles, and can you really blame Neo for doing so? He was basically raised to be nothing but to do evil shit, and with no warm or kindness extended to him. Or it was really fucking rare. He had nothing but just bitter and anger to drive him, revenge to drive him forward, and it tore him apart. No emotional system, he was just left. Alone.
Neo is taking control of his own life and forming his own destiny. Neo means new. New Metal Sonic. Neo Metal Sonic. Which is why I think a lot of fellow trans people, (I’m a trans male myself), have been flocking to Neo’s, well, Neo form. Because he’s no longer conforming to whatever Eggman wants him to be. He created his Neo form on his own, it’s HIS identity, and Eggman can’t take that away from him. He’s Neo and he’s here to stay.
Now, God, getting to this part, it’s always just... so sad to me, from Neo’s POV.
Sonic and co. finally defeat Neo, and we here him cry out. Now, they’re all happy and cheery, while Sonic taunts of him a rematch. He had put his all into these new forms of himself, he was so certain for ONCE, he was gonna win. He was gonna be able to prove he’s not some fake Sonic or a mistake. And when he did his best, he failed. Miserably so.
“AUUGH! NO! WHY?! I HAD IT ALL!” when he says this line, you can just hear how... miserable he sounds. Because to him, he was finally doing something RIGHT for once.
“IT’S NO USE... BUT WHY CAN’T I DEFEAT YOU?”
I think, after everything I said, speaks for itself. And has he says this, he reverts into his base form and turns off. Omega holds him in his arms and Shadow looks somberly at him. The two people who were used as nothing but seen as living machines, also holding a fellow seen as nothing but a living machine.
It’s a very somber feeling, looking back on it all. The big question for Neo is: will he be free or just... stuck in a cyclical cycle of being defeated and just loosing?
I think his theme song: What I’m Made Of also just highlights his character perfectly, too.

If Mario Was in Sonic Heroes (...Sort Of)
We begin with what's left of the SMG4 Crew, Cubot, and Marcy already sneaking through the streets of Robotropolis, heading towards the overgrown Eggman Base that Metal Madness is attached to. Floating high above the metallic blue skyscrapers is the airship, shielded from view with an invisibility spell by Kamek and Sig.
Soon enough, they're in an alley only a street crossing away from the base, and Cubot starts looking for something on the wall, "Okay guys, there should be a side entrance just across from us, and with any luck Metal's been too out of his mind to bother changing the access codes. All we've gotta do is get past the guards."
At that, he points up at a nearby watchtower, where a mechanical Toad looks out over the dark streets. Another robot, this one a pink-and-white knight with a basketball-patterned faceplate, swoops down to address him for a moment before resuming his patrol.
4 winces, "good thing Toadsworth isn't here to see that."
Cubot manages to spot the entrance, and as soon as the group sees an opening they make a break for it. There's a brief scare when Mario accidentally kicks a can (why is there even litter when everyone is in a robot hivemind) and catches Mecha Franky's attention, but thankfully the side of the base has plenty of alcoves to hide in, and a few more "civilian" level robots happen to walk by at the same time.
As it turns out, Metal Sonic really didn't bother changing the access codes, so Cubot's current status as leader of the Eggman Empire gets them in without issue. When they get inside, 4 realizes something pretty important.
"Uh, do you have any idea where they'll be keeping the Seed? 'Cause this is a pretty big place and I really don't thing wandering aimlessly would be a good idea."
"Well, the base is pretty different from how it was the last time I was here, but based on the structure there's a few spots in particular that would make sense. Plus the scanner's still working," he waves the tablet a bit for emphasis.
With that out of the way, the group keeps going, doubling their efforts at stealth now that they're this deep into enemy territory...and also doing their best to keep the more chaotic members of the group from getting distracted by the various robot-related memes they encounter along the way.
As they're moving, Root notices Tari scratching at the elbow of her Meta Runner arm, "Are you okay Tari?"
"Hm? Oh, yeah, my stump just started itching a bit. Haven't really had a chance to take my arm off in the past few days. I'll be fine."
"It comes off?"
"Yep! Just because I didn't get a prothesis the normal way doesn't mean I don't have to take care of it like everyone else."
"Oh, that makes sense. Just, make sure you tell somebody if it starts getting worse, alright?"
"Of course. Sorry if I made you worry."
As it turns out, she's not the only one having slight problems. Lil Coding's got a slight headache that's causing a bit of static on the edges of his hearing. Or...is the static causing the headache? Eh, either way it's probably not a big deal, so he doesn't bother to mention it.
Eventually they reach a dark room that seems as though it used to be a command center, with some sort of containment unit on the other side from the door.
"Well, according to the scanner this is the place. I'm betting the seed's in that thing."
"Mario's on it!" immediately he grabs Meggy by the legs (she's got a deadpan "oh not this shit again" expression but dutifully goes into a T-pose) runs at the container with intent to Smash, "Here we GOOOOO!!!!"
Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work, and he drops Meggy and shrugs, "Well, I've done all I can do."
The rest of the group just rolls their eyes, and Cubot floats over to the main console, "I'll handle it."
It takes a bit to find the right program, but soon enough he finds the controls for the containment unit and opens it, revealing a yellow Wonder Seed.
"Alright!" 4 walks over to grab it, "Just two more and-" Suddenly the room is bathed in red light, and the central monitor changes from Eggman's desktop to a mechanical-looking black-and-red eye.
"Did you really think it would be so easy to steal from me?"
The group quickly backs away from the monitor, 4 remembering to grab the still-accessible seed in the process.
"Fortunately for you, that trinket matters little to me. Still, you are intruders, and intruders must be either converted or destroyed."
While most of the group is shaking in fear, Marcy scoffs, "And how do you plan on doing that? There's no weapons in this room, and if your troops were close enough to catch us before we were ready and able to fight our way out they'd be here by now."
"You are correct...for a few more seconds, at least."
"What do you-" She's cut off by the rippling colors and chime of a wonder effect, and the group turns to a horrible sight, "no, not them..."
The mechanized Lil Coding points his claw at his stunned and horror-stricken father, "PRIORITY_1: ELIMINATE_INTRUDERS."
Mario pulls SMG4 out of the way just before Mecha Coding can hit him with a powerful energy blast, "RUN BITCH, RUUUUUN!"
And so the group books it back the way they came, their roboticized friends hot on their tail and Badniks and other conversion victims closing in around them, with Mario still having to drag 4 along.
Eventually they manage to get outside, where they see that the Airship, now in full view, is heading right towards them with pursuers of its own. They thankfully all manage to grab onto a hastily dropped ladder and climb up to help the crew fend off the robot army in their mad dash to the mercifully-nearby barrier between Robotropolis and the next Zone.
Unfortunately, their luck runs out, as Mecha Desmond appears high above them and uses his Galacta Knight powers to summon dozens of Heart Spears, which rain down and tear through the ship. It ends up crashing down just barely on the wrong side of the barrier, and the main group comes to in the flaming wreckage, robots closing in on all sides and the assorted minions and badniks all either unconscious, trashed, or beginning to convert themselves.
Desmond stands before them, eyes locked on Meggy's prone form because of course he'd be just cognizant enough to remember hating her, and in the blink of an eye lunges-
Only to be stopped short by Toadsworth's cane, the old toad shaking with the effort and half-metal already, but smirking up at his adopted grandson, "Come on my boy, I know you can move faster than that! This conversion nonsense really isn't doing your training any favors, is it?"
He looks back at what's left of the group, "Go on then, get out of here! We'll hold them off for as long as we're still ourselves!"
True to what he says, all the other half-converted characters jump into the fray, many fighting several full robots at once. Bomberto's among them, "Just like old times, eh?"
"If this is "just like old times," then you and I remember those times very differently, old friend."
Not wanting to squander this chance, the group follows Toadsworth's orders as soon as he gives them and runs for the barrier, which apparently when approached personally at ground level like this is opaque with a similar shifting rainbow color pattern to the unsprayed versions of the Super Mario Sunshine level portals.
They burst through with a bit of resistance, and then it's just SMG4, Mario, Meggy, Root, Marcy, Sig, Kamek and Cubot collapsing to the ground...and into deep snow, in the middle of the night, with a few errant bits of the ship half-buried nearby and the muffled sounds of the battle they just escaped behind them.

Metal Madness [RED]
Metal Sonic really ate with all these form changes and starring villain role in Sonic Heroes. I like the idea that he's not content with being a inferior Sonic and wants to become his own thing and sort of inverts the evolution of Shadow the Hedgehog's ultimate lifeform origins by going into a primal lizard-like state.

Okay so my "Metal Sonic is the hero" AU had me thinking of something.
Replace any time Sonic goes Super to fight the bad guy with her friends giving her their bio-data to transform in a team hand stack (with chaos emeralds of course).
Like, Metal Sonic as the protagonist has such a golden opportunity for actual, real Power of Friendship
Any time she flies in to "singlehandedly" beat the bad guy, it's all of them together.
Trying to imagine "good guy" versions of Metal Overlord and Metal Madness is... Weird.

He has the biggest hips in all of sonic cast. The absolute thickest.
This is SOFT redesign my fellow amigos, why does he has the most caked up assets in the world. This continues into his neo, and overlord design (as this drawing is based on his Metal madness form- which has legs.)
My guy, the second he got the ability to change how he looked, decided to give himself the biggest cake in the world.
Looked at sonic the hedgehog and said “I’ve got have a better ass than that” and look at his Neo form. Hips do not lie.
I… I DREW THIS FOR A REASON
#he has so much cake#so much gender#that’s the biggest ass in all of albacerkey#idk how to spell that state#anyways I don’t even know how to describe my emotions other than that one meme#of that girl looking at that guys chest#I am just in flat awe#in shock#in suprise#metal overlord#well technically#metal madness#but idk if that’s a tag specifically for sonic shit#anyways#yeah

Super Staff Fark vs Metal Overlord
Fanart of robot doppelgangers at one of their most powerful forms (I say one of since Super Fark in Spark the Electric Jester 2 and 3 was too complex for me to draw and I didn't have enough reliable references for that form and the same applies to Master Overlord in the IDW Sonic comics) in the form of Fark with the Super Staff vs Metal Sonic in his Metal Overlord form (or Metal Madness but honestly the only difference between those forms is that Overlord has wings to fly with).
Made via tracing over sprite art of Super Staff Fark:https://www.google.com/search?q=fark+sprite+sheets&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBAU941AU941&sxsrf=APwXEdfRbog2aSBhXOx2N51iFETLNba7zQ:1684462679337&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiHoo69qID_AhUWb2wGHdaqCD0Q_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=2560&bih=1289&dpr=1#imgrc=WK4CReSNRzz4WM

Heard this song and I just had thought about these two. I already know Copy is a cheeky little rat who would convince others to be as well.
So a little hint about my thoughts related to Sonic Heroes down the line. ;)

You know how Sonic has like a robot doppleganger version for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles? What would it look like for Shadow? Would it look like an edgier Metal Sonic?
I always figured that's basically what Neo Metal Sonic was in Sonic Heroes.
Neo Metal had basically copied Shadow's data first out of everyone, given he was piloting a fleet of warships containing Shadow clones. The markings on the quills and along his eyes definitely recall Shadow's markings, too.
Yes, Neo Metal Sonic also copies the data of Chaos (from Froggy) but that's what leads him to transform in to Metal Overlord.
It's dumb when you think about it, but Metal Overlord is supposed to be Metal Sonic combining elements of Shadow and Perfect Chaos. Probably Biolizard, too.
Thus, Neo Metal Sonic, with his pauldrons and his loin cloth and his silly boots and studded belt and his big wizard robe cuffs -- that's what happens when Metal Sonic ingests Shadow's data.
