Metal Overlord (Archie)


 * For the version of this transformation before the Super Genesis Wave, see Metal Overlord (Pre-Super Genesis Wave).

Metal Overlord is a transformation mentioned in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was a form Metal Sonic once attained, after he had evolved into Neo Metal Sonic.

History
After copying data from the members of Team Sonic, Team Rose, Team Dark, the Chaotix, and Chaos through Froggy and Chocola, Neo Metal Sonic eventually evolved into Metal Overlord in his bid to finally defeat Sonic and take over the world. Despite his power, he was defeated by Super Sonic and his Chaos Emerald-empowered teammates Knuckles and Tails. Sonic remembered this form as simply "That stupid dragon thing" when he later battled Metal Sonic aboard the Wily Egg in the Skull Egg Zone.
