Mecha Sonic Model No.29

Rocket Metal Sonic (ロケット・メタル ソニック・ザ), also referred to as "Mecha Sonic model no. 29" or simply as "Rocket Metal", is a character that has only appeared in Sonic the Fighters. It also shares moves from certain fighters (like Knuckles, and a few more).

Appearance


Rocket Metal looks similar to Metal Sonic, except Rocket Metal's spines are longer than Metal's spines, Rocket Metal has wrench-like hands, and it lacks the turbine in its torso that Metal Sonic has. Rocket Metal also has feet similar to Tails' shoes. Rocket Metal can also transform into a rocket, hence the name.
