That would be redundent with Metal Sonic in Boom. I think he'll 1st appear with Amnesia, completely skipping the SA2 phase, and will side with whoever will bring him closer to the truth, just like in Sonic Heroes and his own game, and when he regains his Memories he becomes an Anti-Hero.

I'd like to also point something out here. SEGA made Boom to bring in a new generation of fans, but so far only the current fans care about Sonic Boom. There has been no new fans braught in Boom, making the new Generation thing redundent. I love when this happens to a series... The series gets a rebbot for a new generation of fans but only the old generation give a damn about it, so instead of being a way to attract new fans it just becomes a love letter to the old fans. I mean, nobody who actually gets braught in by Boom will know a damn thing about any of the characters and lore, which SEGA are not explaining in Boom, so only the old fans will get any of it.
