People assume Eggman just did that to him, but he can't. If Metal evolved like he did n Sonic Heroes, his AI is far too advanced to evise. And we ave NO IDEA where he goes after Sonic Heroes.

Then, the ORIGINAL Metal returns in Sonic Riders, after being disguised as Team Dark's third racer, and after he loses the race, he dissapears again, scattered to the winds...

So where is he? Planing, schemeing. The original might appear in Sonic Forces, seeing how Sonic lost, Metal would probably think he was superior. And he probably WOULD be. SO he returns to good ol' Eggs, and he becomes a general, relishing the fact he can destroy what sonic has loved. Then again, just a theory. Couldn't Eggman just erase his old AI though? You'd hink that, but then gain, those media with robots? Once their A.I. reaches a certain degree, It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to erase it. Take GLaDOs, who had her A.I. Changed by external devices; her core AI did not change. It was just windowed. But she still took over and killed a lot of scientists.

The Sonic universe dosen't have things like Cores; Eggs can do all he wants to supress the AI, but it will eventually break through, seeing how programming can't really stop AI. It's all fiction though, There are no rules 'cept what the writers make up. They don't have to follow any trends if they don't want to. Yes, but usually game devs jump on the A.I. bandwagon. It makes sense to Metal, who descended into Madness over SOnic.
