The Metal Sonic Troopers[1] is a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It was an army of robots modeled after Sonic the Hedgehog, and created by Sir Charles Hedgehog and Rotor Walrus.

History[]

Past[]

Following the Xorda Attack on Mobius and Sonic's apparent "death", Maximillian Acorn commissioned Sir Charles Hedgehog and Rotor Walrus to create an army of exactly one hundred robotic replicas of Sonic. Rotor and Charles obeyed, and created the Metal Sonic Troopers using data retrieved from the original Metal Sonic's Power Gem core. However, before they could be activated, Sonic returned from space, deeming the project unnecessary, and prompting Charles to silently seal the deactivated Metal Sonic Troopers in the dungeon beneath Castle Acorn.[2][3]

Reactivation[]

Some time later, A.D.A.M. (at the time secretly operating under the name "anonymous") would reactivate all of the Metal Sonic Troopers in an attempt to destroy Dr. Eggman. Although Eggman managed to escape them with his "daughter" Mecha, the Metal Sonic Troopers proceeded to destroy his former base before searching the surrounding areas for the doctor. Several Metal Sonic Troopers would soon reach Knothole Village and attempt to destroy Hope Kintobor, only to be stopped by the efforts of Sonic and Shadow. Hope, however, was injured by a Metal Sonic Trooper which had been knocked into her. The remaining Metal Sonic Troopers would continue their destructive rampage, by attacking Sonic, but were all deactivated when Shadow returned and unintentionally used Chaos Control on them.[4][1]

Uniform[]

Each Metal Sonic Trooper wears a black robe around its waist.[4]

Trivia[]

  • The designs of the Metal Sonic Troopers are based on that of Neo Metal Sonic in Sonic Heroes.
  • Despite Dr. Eggman claiming that Metal Sonic Troopers were second-rate knock-offs compared to his Metal Sonic units, an observational assessment by Mecha stated that the Metal Sonic Troopers were of superior design.[4]
