First of all, you got your information from Tumblr.

Second, Mecha Sonic, which more bad@$$ than Metal Sonic in my oppinion, is less popular than him. I'm pressuming you mean S&K Mecha Sonic, not Silver Sonic. Mecha Sonic only had the one games, the one known Metallix design and in Archie is regarded as Sonic's robotisized identidy (Though Mecha Sonic as a robot has been introduced in post-SGW history).

I prefer Mecha Sonic over Metal Sonic, but Sega themselves prefer Metal Sonic as Dr. Eggmans go-to choice of robot Sonic. Chances are Metal Sonic may have a few episodes in the Sonic Boom series in the future, but I doubt Mecha Sonic will even be mentioned.
