It looks like me. Gotta hand it to those Ancients - they had swag.


Sonic the Hedgehog, "Mech Suits Me"

Sonic's Mech Suit[1] is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is an old mech suit from the time of the Ancients which would be used by Sonic the Hedgehog in modern times.

Concept and creation

When writing the plot for "Mech Suits Me", Sonic's Mech Suit was inspired by the character Venom from Marvel Comics.[2][3]

Description

Appearance

InactiveMechSuit

Sonic's Mech Suit inactive.

The mech suit is a black machine that resembles Sonic the Hedgehog.[1] Standing at about twice the size of Knuckles, its body looks like a slim silhouette of Sonic's head and has a cockpit with a seat inside it. Its body also has a grey-framed, windshield-less window up front in the shape of Sonic's eyes. It possesses as well cube-shaped grey shoulders, grey shoulder rims, heavily armored grey arms, four-fingered hands with black fingers, and a pair of legs with grey toe-less feet and grey armor. It also has crystal-like blue fins on its elbows and down its spine, and a blue light up front. When active, the mech suit glows red.

Features and abilities

Sonic's Mech Suit is an extremely strong machine. Said to possess unparalleled power, it can easily overpower Mega Bot in seconds and effortlessly defeat several members of Team Sonic. In terms of physical strength, it can smash through a thick metal wall with a one-inch punch, punch through a force-field, and topple Mega Bot with just three hits. It has as well retractable foot-mounted wheels, allowing it to skate around with swiftness and at greater speeds while on the ground, and is capable of high-speed flight, enough to keep up with the Eggmobile. In terms of armaments, it can generate a shield around itself which protects it from all sides and can withstand a missile without flinching, and it has a retractable hand blaster which can fire lasers powerful enough to blow up Mega Bot in one shot. It can as well charge up its blaster for more powerful shots.[1]

Evil Sonic 3

The mech suit had a symbiont relationship with its pilot. Due to housing a symbiont chip, the mech suit would gradually take over its pilot, causing increasingly aggressive behavior, paranoia, lack in inhibitions, impaired thinking and memory lapses. While the mech suit asserted its dominance, the pilot's eyes would grow red. After the symbiont chip was removed, this is apparently no longer an issue.[1]

The mech suit is virtually impossible to beat with brute force. However, when charging its blaster to maximum, the mech suit does draw reserve power from its shields, momentarily disarming them.[1]

History

TV series

Past

Constructed by the Ancients, the mech suit ended up buried within an Ancient ruin for centuries.[1]

Season two

MechSuitFound

Team Sonic finds the Mech suit.

The mech suit was found by Team Sonic in the present, with Sonic putting it on after noticing its resemblance to him. With it, Sonic broke his team out of the ruins Dr. Eggman trapped them in and beat Mega Bot, although it nearly made him kill Eggman. Since Sonic kept wearing it though, the mech suit gradually possessed him. Ignoring his team's warnings after they found the mech suit's schematics, Sonic wound up threatening the Unnamed Village with destruction until his team faced him and removed the mech suit's symbiont chip. Back to normal, Sonic decided to keep the mech suit around for when needed.[1]

Trivia

  • The mech suit's resemblance to Sonic may be a nod to how the Ancients became familiar with Sonic in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric after he traveled back to their time, thus possibly inspiring them to model the mech suit after him.
