Why is Metal Sonic going to come back story-wise?

[Little Sonic OMGPONIES]

Something that is interesting to speculate on is the reason why Metal Sonic will be returning. In Sonic CD he was there to steal Amy from Sonic and hopefully this will not be rehashed! Wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if Tails's only role in the game is to be kidnapped by Metal Sonic and he isn't actually playable (ala Game Gear Sonic 2).

So why do you think Metal Sonic will come back? Is it going to be really cliched and will he betray Robotnik? I hope it will be something more exciting!

So what do you think?


I'm betting that Metal Sonic has become the overlord of Ponies and will is trying to destroy MY LITTLE PONY for stealing my wonderful idea!

There's a rumor involved that Episode II will form a link between Sonic CD and Sonic Heroes by setting up Metal Sonic for his descent into madness.

Because people complained.

Yes, yes it would be. And I'm not being sarcastic. It'd be great.

Or if Tails was kidnapped and once you save him at the end of the game, you unlock and then play Tails's story as a continuation of the story. Not saying I want that, but it'd be interesting...

Well sure, you'd have fun playing the game. But this subforum would be so overwhelmed with moans and threats that you wouldn't be able to stand setting foot in here.

(Yes, even moreso than before.)

Well, I would prefer if he was still loyal to Eggman. At least for the most part. Maybe we can get (real wishful thinking) a Metal Sonic extra story that shows how he becomes so obsessed with beating Sonic, he decides to leave Eggman's wing (so the loser-ness doesn't rub off on him?).

Of course they should somehow keep in mind that cameo that Metal and Silver Sonic had in Eggman's base in Sonic Adventure. (Battle of the bots, NAO!)

Now I'm really interested, I hope this rumor is true.

Actually, that's why it'd be great. The levels of Fan Dumb that would stem from "Wah! SEGA lied to us!" when SEGA never said anything would be so high they'd be amusing.

Sonic generations split the timeline just like zelda Oot did, it's like this...

timeline (A)

sonic 1
sonic CD
sonic 2
sonic 3&K
sonic 3D blast
sonic adventure

timeline (B)
sonic 1
sonic 2
sonic 3&K
sonic CD
sonic 4

future titles

sonic 5
sonic 6

therefore sonic team can ignore SA since sonic 4 only exists in timeline (B) and plus Robotnik goes by Eggman thanks to sonic generations.

I'm not sure about Timeline B. If you take it seriously, the Death Egg never crashed in Sonic 2 (as Eggman's mistake was "erased"), and the launch in Sky Sanctuary happened in Sonic 2's timeline (you can go as far as arguing everything happened in Sonic 1!)
