I love Metal but he isn't really a maind villain material (not for games anyway). He can be a final boss (like in Knuckles Chaotix) but that's about it.

For that to happened Sega would have to

1) Come up with something more to the story, otherwise it's just Sonic Heroes rehash.

2) Get out of their comfort zone, since they were playing safe with characters, and Metal for years now wasn't more than a voiceless machine.

Plus, Eggman would have to be back stabbed again. Becasue that plot wasn't done to death yet.
