      But there was the tease of Mecha Metal Sonic!

      Edit: Thanks to @wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the most detailed correction I have ever received. Your response makes the word “pedantry” appear paltry in the presence of what you have presented before us. Thank you.

        um ackshually that’s Metal Sonic, first appearing in Sonic CD.

        Mecha Sonic is a boss from Sonic 2 Game Gear, and is totally different.

        Which should never be confused with Mecha Sonic that’s one of the final bosses of Sonic 2 Mega Drive/Genesis.

        Or Mecha Sonic Mk II from Sonic and Knuckles, who is clearly an upgraded version of Mecha Sonic, not an upgraded version of Mecha Sonic.

        Or Super Mecha Sonic, the transformation of Mecha Sonic Mk II, but who has nothing to do with Mecha Sonic, Mecha Sonic, or Metal Sonic.

        And I could never imagine how anyone could be stupid enough to confuse them with Mecha Sonic Mk III, the background decoration from Sonic Adventure, who is clearly an upgrade of Mecha Sonic, not an upgrade of Mecha Sonic, Mecha Sonic Mk II, or Metal Sonic. (Why do I taste copper?)

        But you could be forgiven for mistaking Metal Sonic for his later self-upgraded form Neo Metal Sonic, the antagonist from Sonic Heroes.

        Neo Metal Sonic can transform into Metal Madness from Sonic Heroes. Only a fool would think that Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Mecha Sonic Mk II, Super Mecha Sonic, or Mecha Sonic Mk III could do that.

        Metal Madness can transform into Metal Overlord, of course. I don’t know how that could be any more obvious, or how anyone could confuse this for Metal Madness. C’mon they’re completely distinct. (Does anyone smell burnt toast?)

        And only an idiot wouldn’t understand Metal Sonic 3.0 is a completely new robot made as an upgraded version of Metal Sonic, created by an alternate dimension version of Eggman who isn’t from an alternate dimension but is from the future, who is a rival to Metal Sonic who is no longer Neo Metal Sonic. It’s mind boggling that something so simple could confuse anyone with a basic modicum of intelligence.

        And the Metal Sonics from the Archie comics are entirely self explanatory. Why is there this wet red stuff coming out of my ears? I think I’m going to have a lie down.

        Doesn’t pedantry just mean teaching? I think y’all knocked it out together, because you set him up

        Edit My bad wikip says "Pedantry

        an excessive concern with formalism, minor details, and rules that are not important.
