Summary
Metal Sonic (v3.0) is an antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics.
It is a powerful Badnik based on Sonic the Hedgehog that was created by Dr. Eggman to serve as the ultimate match for Sonic. It went through many body and repeatedly saw destruction over and over again by the heroes, even by Robotnik Prime's original Metal Sonic, Shard.

Intelligence: Varies. The 3.0 to 3.6 versions of Metal Sonic were described as cold, merciless and mindless drones, which remained silent during the course of battle. The fifth, sixth, and seventh versions were voiceless, and the third model only served as a radio mouthpiece for Eggman. A a voice codex was installed for Metal Sonic v3.7 and onwards along with a more developed personality, a Free will algorithm CPU and a single-minded desire to destroy Sonic.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Black Shield: Metal Sonic forms an indigo-colored octahedral energy field around him in order to protect himself from the opponents attacks.
- Burst Shield: Metal Sonic generates a spherical defense mode also primary used for defense purposes.
- V. Maximum Overdrive Attack: Metal Sonic initially charges up a large amount of energy and envelops himself in a yellow energy sphere, then he shoots himself forward at incredible speeds with enough force to penetrate metal craters.
