Metal Sonic (Sonic Boom)

Metal Sonic is a character from the Sonic Boom series who appears in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal. He is a robotic doppelgänger of Sonic the Hedgehog created by Dr. Eggman, and is an enemy of Sonic and his team.

Appearance
Compared to his main series counterpart, Metal Sonic is almost unchanged, besides being slightly taller, broader shoulders, a thicker upper body, and eyes that glow purple instead of red.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Metal Sonic was deployed by Dr. Eggman at Lyric's Tomb in attempt to defeat Team Sonic who were pursuing the doctor. As the chase led towards outside of the tomb itself, Metal Sonic and a large army of robots seemingly cornered the heroes but Sonic and his team were able to enter the tomb and locked Metal out. He then tried to enter the tomb as well but his attempts to do so were futile.

Metal Sonic then appeared again under Eggman's orders at Slowpoke Isle when Lyric wanted to end his partnership with the doctor and the latter threatened to attack Lyric with Metal. However, Lyric pressed the blue button on his chest allowing him to take control of Metal and Metal attacked its former master. Lyric then upgraded Metal's code so he would obtain the Chaos Crystal in the area. Metal successfully swipes the Crystal only to then engage a fight with Team Sonic. Metal was defeated by the heroes though, dropping the Crystal in the process and was seemingly left non-functional.

Powers and Abilities
Metal Sonic possesses a built-in jet engine that allows him to fly through the air with a speed that rivaling Sonic's speed and can even boost as such speed that he creates delayed explosions in his wake. He also has formidable strength, being able to punch the ground hard enough to cause large cracks in the surface.

Metal Sonic is able to shooting red laser beams from the engine on his chest/torso. These beams are powerful enough to blow up entire roads and colossal village doors straight open.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
The battle against Metal Sonic takes place entirely on a speed section. To defeat Metal Sonic, the player must kick big blue-silver ball on the road or the ones that Metal Sonic throws at the Player by using the Spin Dash. At the same time, the player must evade left or right to avoid being smashed by walls and jump to avoid being caught by Metal Sonic's lasers. After hitting Metal Sonic enough times, he will crash on the road Team Sonic is on, causing the battle to enter a new phase.

In this phase, Metal Sonic's attacks become harder to avoid and he gains new attacks: he will dig along the ground, causing a damaging rip the player can avoid by moving to the side or jumping, and cause the balls on the grounds to fly at the player which can be knocked back by hitting them in midair. After being hit enough times again, Metal Sonic will crash into the road again and a new phase starts.

In this phase, Metal Sonic gains more attacks, like boosting forward and backward at the player at high speed while additionally leaving explosions in his wake. This can be avoided by evading left or right. Additionally, the road will be more difficult than before. After attacking Metal Sonic enough times, he is defeated and the player will win the battle.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
The battle against Metal Sonic is simple: the player must reach the goal before Metal Sonic to end the battle.
