Talk:Silver Sonic

Comparison to Nazo
This is a thought quite literally off the top of my head, but has anyone thought to compare this son of a b*tch (apologies - just spent the last 20 minutes trying to kill him) to our mysterious pal Nazo? --Danish Ranger 15:25, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Please censor your swearing in future. As for your question, I'm not too sure, Silver Sonic's a robot, and Nazo appears to be organic.  Myself  123  15:44, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Merge
I think this page should be merged with Mecha Sonic, as they're the same robot, just two different revisions of it, as this boss is known as "Mecha Sonic" in the Japanese manual of Sonic 2. Moreoever, I'm positive that the only reason why his Sonic 2 and S&K counterparts have different names in the American games is that the name "Silver Sonic" doesn't fit his S&K version (as it's blue rather than silver), so SoA saw itself forced to give him a different name than his Sonic 2 model. - 190.138.10.18 03:21, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

They look nothing alike. Spyro Sonic   2000  03:44, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Whether you think they look alike or not is irrelevant. Fact is, they have the same Japanese name, same concept (both are robotic Sonic copies), and an extremely similar move arsenal. - 190.138.10.18 18:54, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Let an admin take care of this. Spyro Sonic   2000  19:00, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Yeaaaa-No. They are not the same robot. DarkK3 02:56, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Sigh. Then prove it. I already provided evidence of why they are the same character, NONE of which was refuted. Also, do you consider the Sonic CD version of Amy to be a separate character from regular Amy just because she was originally named "Princess Sally" in the American continuity!? - 190.139.243.220 19:20, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Somewhere in the articles it says something like "...this robot was called Mecha Sonic too..." or something like that

So... why do you put those together, but this "Silver Sonic" has his own page?

I also say we merge. Keep in mind Mecha Sonic model no. 29 (which the wiki gave the [I think] unsourced name Rocket Metal Sonic, based on the internal [and unseen in normal gameplay] "Rocket Metal"). That implies that the different Mecha Sonic designs are all different models. We should merge Silver Sonic, Mecha Sonic and [uh] "Rocket Metal Sonic" together under the name of Mecha Sonic or Other Sonic robots. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:37, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

We don't gain anything by doing that. Would make more sense to me to make a Mecha Sonic disambig, split out the 16-bit and 8-bit versions of Silver Sonic and rename per Talk:Mecha Sonic. -- Supermorff (talk) 15:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yes we don't gain anything from merging the pages togther.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 17:48, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

I might as well throw in my opinion as well: NO merging. I remember Myself 123 saying that individual pages are often preferable to big pages with lists, and I agree. 17:57, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, it was revealed in the back story of Sonic 4 that Silver Sonic was actually Mecha Sonic. I suppose they retconned the name like they did with most things from the older games. If not a merge, we should move all the information on the game version of Silver Sonic to the Mecha Sonic article. Diamonddeath (talk) 02:44, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * That is the definition of a merge, isn't it? -- Supermorff (talk) 08:22, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Look, Silver Sonic is different than mecha. after all, their abilities are quite different, and they look nothing alike. and use that amy rose stuff! sega changed her appearence so that she can enter the 3-d world, and it looks completely possible for her to revert to old look, as you just have to simply take off the head band that holds her hair like hair, and refit her with her old-skool skirt. besides, mecha sonic is the name of a individual, not a brand name.

The problem with that is that we already know there are multiple Mecha Sonic robots (see Mecha Sonic model no. 29), or at least it is suggesting that it is the same robot rebuilt after every defeat. In all fairness, a merged article really wouldn't be that huge due to the fact that not much background is known on the Mecha Sonic(s) other than they/it resemble(s) Sonic - it's not like it's Metal Sonic. Besides, the Metal Sonic article gave us the basics in a fairly small frame.

That said, I would not be opposed if we picked one of two approaches - either merge everything except Metal Sonic under the common Mecha Sonic umbrella (that includes model no. 29), or keep everything split and leave the connection in the view of the reader and out of the wiki's hands (which is mostly done, but I also mean to split the 8-bit and 16-bit Sonic 2 robots - Archie calls the 16-bit version Silver Sonic, while Sega of America also called the 8-bit one Bionic Sonic, if that helps differentiate the two). LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:50, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

so, i'm back, and i did a little research that opposes any merge. metal sonic was called mecha sonic in japanese manuals, along with any other mech until sega gave them names. so if you use that japanese manual stuff, than you are saying that you would call metal sonic mecha sonic, and that is not accurate! also, if silver sonic was called mecha, than silver sonicII would be called some thing different, and obviously he isn't.

I think you misunderstand. We're not saying to use the Japanese manuals. We're saying to use the most up-to-date English backstory, which is from the Sonic 4 website, in which the robot was called Mecha Sonic. Metal Sonic is still Metal Sonic in that backstory. Silver Sonic II's name is made up by fans too, so that argument doesn't work. And you still haven't registered that nobody is suggesting a merge at this point. Quite the opposite. -- Supermorff (talk) 09:39, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Look, silver sonicII is NOT a fan made name. he was first called this by archie comics, and SEGA later adopted this as his real name, making it a relavent argument point. And second of all, SEGA has confirmed that his name is silver sonic, so shut up about it!

I'm 06 lover by the way.

Pretty harsh, no-one's gonna be able to take oyu seriously if you're going to act in such a heated way. If you what you say is true about these names being offically used by Sega, you should have absolutely no problem finding sources that prove it, right?  Myself  123  19:40, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Stop being so smug about it. if this, and every other source i know(besides manuals and sonic 4 website) says their names are what they are, than they should be kept that way. besides, manuals have proven theselves unaccurate at times.

06 lover

I wasn't being smug, unless the meaning of the word "smug" has changed, but I don't think it has, anyway, despite claiming that there are plenty of sources that prove you right, you've yet to give any. If you want to end this discussion and prove yourself right, just provide links.  Myself  123  22:06, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Sure.
