History/Background Information
See articles: Mecha Sonic
Personality
Mecha Sonic is a cruel and cold-hearted killing machine who loves to see people suffer and cares for nobody but himself. He also seems to view himself as a god. He views his opponents as being unworthy and do not deserve to have the power of the Chaos Emeralds or even live. He shows much hatred toward Sonic and will stop at nothing to kill him. He also wants to destroy Dr. Eggman for not making him powerful enough to kill Sonic easily. The only being that Mecha Sonic respects is Mecha Shadow, whom Mecha Sonic considers his partner.

Transformations
- Super: By absorbing energy from the Master Emerald, the color of Mecha Sonic's body turns gold. In this form, Mecha Sonic's strength, speed, and durability are greatly increased, similarly to Sonic's own Super form.
- Metallix: By absorbing a larger amount energy from the Master Emerald, Mecha Sonic's body changes completely, becoming more slim and slightly smaller. In this form, Mecha Sonic retains the same benefits as the Super form, only 3 times more powerful. He also gains the ability to create and wield energy swords. As shown in the Master Emerald Retrieval Arc, the Metallix form is stronger than Sonic's Super form, but barely stood a chance against Sonic's Turbo form until the Turbo form slowly started to weaken, along with continuously injuring Sonic.

Note: This section is non-canon due to the upcoming reboot, which will replace the information here. It has not been removed yet due to being a reference for the director when he plans out Mecha Sonic's role in the reboot's plot.
Third Emerald Arc
Mecha Sonic is first seen behind Sonic, Naruto, Goku, and Sora. He attacks Sonic and takes him to another part of the sewer. They then get ready to battle.
Hostage Rescue Arc
After a brief conversation regarding revenge, Mecha Sonic and Sonic begin to battle. They reach a stalemate, resulting in Mecha transforming into Super Mecha Sonic and Sonic into Darkspine Sonic. They resume the battle, where Sonic briefly turns into Excalibur Sonic, with Sonic ending up as the winner and Mecha being transported into the Banishing Realm, where he, Metal Sonic, Shadow Android, and Metal Knuckles are banished by Nazo (who is off-screen).

Mecha, along with the other villains, are released (off-screen) from the Banishing Realm after Mario and Sonic's battle.
