Knuckles’ robotic doppelg?nger first appeared in Sonic R
I was getting sick ofkid-friendly animal politicsandmonths-late Olympics tributes. Time for Sonic to go back to doing what he does best: smashing robots.
ArchieSonic#243 kicks off the “Endangered Specias” arc, with a focus on the thinning echidna population. The Death Egg Mk II has brought fiery death upon the home of Knuckles’ people, but before Sonic and crew can save the day, Metal Knuckles busts in and wrecks their sh*t.

Metal Knuckles first appeared in the racing gameSonic Rfor the Saturn. Like thecreepy Tails Dollfrom the same game, it’s bound to be a major adversary in these latest issues. Good. Nice to see the heroes sweat a bit.
Sonic the Hedgehog#243 arrives tomorrow in comic stores. You know what to do.
