I just severely injured my back today it hurts to breathe too deeply. This upload had good timing and is interesting. THANK YOU Nick. And yeah this aint April fools I want to gain the sweet release of deaths cold grip
Ah, Silver Sonic, it was really nice seeing him in Sonic Mania. While I'm not the biggest fan of his game counterpart's concept art/final design per se, it's cute and can fit in a series like Aosth. I also think Archie showed a great way to make his design work better in the Sonic world. I also prefer to think of his design as a prototype for Silver Sonic (Oh I'm sorry, "Robo" Sonic :P).
@@Vegitodraws I'm sure 90% of Nick's fans don't know who I am. He's surpassed me thoroughly and I'm not ashamed of that. He puts in the effort and quality, he gets the results for it. Love to see it!
The final battle where you ricochet off each other is much more tense and demanding than the instant kill of other mecha sonics. He has Robocop's visor, his ball form is a perfect sphere, so we can assume a T-1000 style liquid metal skin, and since both arms jet engines, the tentacle claw must burst from his chest in a sneak attack straight out of Aliens. He is the stuff off nightmares and is an amazing antagonist.
My personal headcanon is that Eggman was originally gonna send this robot to fight Sonic in the Death Egg Zone, But after realizing that it was too weak, He created Robo Sonic to properly fight Sonic, While scraping Silver Sonic until 8-Bit Sonic 2 when he decided to reuse it again.
Reminds me of one of the fan characters a younger brother of mine made up when he was like eight or ten. He was called Bad Metal Sonic, and in-universe he was made by Dr. Wily in a single afternoon to mock Robotnik's constant stream of Sonic doppelgangers of dubious quality. Whereas Sonic runs so fast his legs look like a pair of wheels and most Sonic bots just kinda rocket hover without moving their legs; this one literally just has a huge pair of wheels sticking out of the sides of his hips, and that's the most functional and best-looking part.
@@syweb2 Bad Metal Sonic even had a voice, kinda like the Metal Sonic from the OVA, but instead of a personality of being convinced he's the real Sonic his catchphrase was "I'm Bad Metal Sonic, not the real Sonic" and then loudly blast a puff of smoke out his exhaust pipe. There were a few other fan characters in the setting (& Knuckles) who would fall for him regardless just because of cartoon logic.
@@syweb2 Basically, me, him, and our even younger brother would variously build figures of characters out of Lego/Duplo bricks or grab other toys and act out improvised stories. He also drew comics from time to time, sometimes using some of the same characters presented in a different medium. All three of us are adults now, and the two of them have jobs. (I'm between jobs right now, but have an interview scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully that doesn't last too long.)
I love Silver Sonic as much as I love Mecha sonic, he’s had such a fun design. The visor shades, his smug grin, his goofy claw hand, and his jet shoes are all so good. The fact that he looks like he’s the least functional robo sonic makes me wanna root for him.
well, It actually makes sense for him to be a prototype of all the other Sonic robotic doppelgangers if you take into consideration that Game Gear/Master System's Sonic 2 is chronologically the prequel to the Sega Genesis' Sonic 2, It's technically the story of how Sonic and Tails met for the first time, explaining why the little fox is by his side out of nowhere at the start of the Genesis game.
My headcanon: Eggman forced Tails to make this Mecha, giving him Life or Death situation. little did Eggman know Tails was too much of a Sonic fan to design it better then this. Tails excused himself as "Beginner" of technology, but Eggman learned quickly he lied.
Hey Game Apologist! 27 seconds late this time. Huh. Not bad. I've...actually never been this early before. I hope I get noticed :) Also happy April fools :P
The EU versions of 8-Bit Sonic 2 also called this guy Silver Sonic, so its not just an american thing. But I love this goofy robot, the way I've always seen it is that this prototype went on to be its iterative improvements, namely the mecha from genesis Sonic 2, and then that one went on to be the one from Sonic and Knuckles. As a small side note though, I think its always kinda sad when people only ever talk about game gear versions of the 8-bit series when the Master system versions came first, are more challenging and at least in my opinion, are the superior versions.
i really love that you showed z-t00n’s art of the little guy in the short artist section! they made me really adore the little gangly noodle of a prototype, honestly

As flawed as Game Gear's Sonic 2 was, no matter how frustratingly hard the first boss was or how many times I Game Overed without ever getting out of the Under Ground Zone, it still made me a Sonic (and Tails!) fan for life. It wasn't until a kid-eternity later, in probably 1998 or '99, that I got the Sonic & Knuckles Collection (with screensaver!) and had my mind blown finally getting to sink my teeth into S3&K. Until then, I'd only got to sometimes play Sonic 1 with my one friend who had a Genesis. I grew up on the Game Gear games and love all the references in Mania!
Funny enough this is technically the first robotic clone of Sonic considering The Master System version of Sonic 2 came out before the Sega Genesis version if I'm not mistaken
here is the family tree of robot sonics, metal and "robo" sonic are fraternal twins metal is older meca sonic is the middle child and silver sonic is the youngest
I have no fucking idea why but I am OBSESSED with this guy, gave em his own name “Badnik Sonic” I know damn well that he’s the least coolest design outta them all
I have a weird idea for how Silver Sonic could come back in IDW, so bear with me. I want him to come back not as a Eggman creation whole cloth, but a prototype blue print that is REALIZED by TAILS. Tails has a habit of taking flawed/ failed robots of good ol' Eggy and improving them. So what if, during one of S&T's many adventures, Tails manages to hit a motherlode of sorts and finds a cache of failed prototype blueprints? Eggman has freely admitting to scrapping projects and just leaving them around, thus why black markets for Egg Tech exist, as well as defunct bases. Tails gets access to the database, and while not finding much worthwhile aside from good reading fodder (you can get good ideas by holding up a negative example,) he DOES come across the schematic for Silver Sonic. It would call for lightweight, inexpensive material, and functionality that we see in the Game Gear and Mania games. While this wouldn't seem useful on the surface, Tails would think to all the times Cities and Zones have been ravaged by the aftermath of Baddies, and forms a plan. Using repurposed Eggtech parts, updated firmware from Gemerl and Belle, and a whole host of other upgrades, Tails cranks out a handful of these guys to be a security force and cleanup crew. The Super Special Silver Sonic Security Squad. They would aid evacuation efforts, holding baddies at bay while innocents are escorted to safety, perform search and rescue efforts, etc.
I was kinda doing a similar idea, where Tails stumbles upon and fixes up a rusty, wandering version of Silver into something looking like Z-Toon’s doodles. Same page type beat rocks, haha!
I like the idea of him being a prototype Metal Sonic, but I also like the idea of this being a "Mass Produced Silver Sonic." Like, a Sonic Robot on par with a Badnik. Silver (Robo) Sonic would probably be the next step up, as a miniboss tier enemy. Metal, Mecha, and maybe even Mechagodzilla Sonic would all quantify actual bosses, as they do.
When I was very into my Metal Sonic fanfic, I made Silver Sonic a ripoff of Gamma’s storyline and had him get modded into oblivion before declining to kill his “brother” Metal and dying.
3:18 The mere fact that her mouth is all weird and she treats Silver Sonic like he’s her bf and Silver Sonic has a “ meh “ expression just makes makes wanna laugh. That’s how I view the photo anyways lol. But yea, Silver Sonic is absolute trash. Thank god that Christian Whitehead and some of the other developers how stupid and weak this little guy looks (comparing 8-bit Silver Sonic to the other robot Sonics) and decided to put Silver Sonic in Sonic Mania as a badnik, not as a boss.
12:04. You love him. YoU LoVeD HiM ALL ALoNG.... You were just being hard on him because deep down on the inside you and him BOTH knew he do BETTER...he could be SO MUCH MoRe.
That Proto Silver Sonic can have some uses. It seems really small so instead of it being just one, theyre several of them at a time. They can be dispensed by a bigger robot lets say Silver Sonic MK1 (Sonic 2 Genesis). This could explain the scappy looking design. They can be used to overwelm in sheer numbers and harder to hit because of their size. (Ex: Alot of them bouncing around the room like a crazed ball pit). Also, they could use those Machine Claw arms to grapple and annoy opponents as well as stretching to absurd degrees. Lastly, that cyclop eye it has can shoot a laser or just a flash bang type deal to keep the "annoying" motif.
Let’s talk about one of the most underrated Sonic characters in the entire freakin’ multiverse of Sonic. Silver Sonic is adorable and we all have to admit it. We all have the cool, sleek, supersonic robots like Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic (the Sonic robotic used one that I love so much) and all the other amazing Sonic robots to intimidate us and make me laugh because I’m having fun and cry because I don’t want the robot I’m fighting to get hurt but at the same time I don’t want Sonic to get hurt but there’s always gotta be one little guy that makes you smile. That makes you wanna say ‘awww’. That’s like a little brother to the big guys who make you scream and laugh and cry. I love Silver Sonic, he’s cute, awesome and nobody can tell me otherwise.
I mean despite how busy you are you still produce these videos pretty damn fast and they're all pretty great so thanks for the content despite how busy you've been man
Just going to provide some additional information for context. The Game Gear was essentially a portable Master System. However, there was some stark differences as one is a home console and the other is a portable. If you play Sonic 2 on the Master System, which released a few days before it's Game Gear counterpart, the game is a lot easier because you have more visible screen area to see the levels. The Game Gear screen required a lot of the view to be cropped out so you could still see the character reasonably, but this had the effect of making the portable game much harder to play. The portable game did not receive the same treatment that Sonic 1 being ported form Master System to Game Gear did, where programmers added additional elements to help the player with upcoming hazards.
I kinda see silver sonic more of a badnik than part of the actual metal series. His simple design really has me thinking eggman made it as a quick and cheap metal sonic to produce and throw at sonic just like all the other badniks. It also shows in metal sonics bossfight were he can just endlessly produce them. I kinda see silver sonic as the budget metal sonic, nowhere near as fast or powerful, but easy to produce and good cannon fodder.
The little brother idea is fine with me. There's good storyline potential here..... Metal sonic and Silver sonic GG as brother robots trying to eradicate sonic for good.
You guys are too cruel. Regarding the whole Silver/Mecha confusion, these are the names I've given the three robots. Genesis Silver Sonic: Silver Sonic Game Gear/Master System Silver Sonic: Silver Sonic Prototype S3&K Mecha Sonic: Mecha Sonic
I always referred to these as mini silver sonics. Yeah sure not a creative name but it at least lightens up on confusion. These things always looked kinda cool to me especially with the long arms.
I love this version of robot sonics legit for the entire reasons you said you dislike it. He just looks so weak and off normal to the point he loops around to cute
This is an adorable design. I was getting confused to why you hate this so much, like, its not bad. It felt like the audio was meant for a different design and silver sonic was the closest punching bag.

Let’s talk about one of the most underrated Sonic characters in the entire freakin’ multiverse of Sonic. Silver Sonic is adorable and we all have to admit it. We all have the cool, sleek, supersonic robots like Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic (the Sonic robotic used one that I love so much) and all the other amazing Sonic robots to intimidate us and make me laugh because I’m having fun and cry because I don’t want the robot I’m fighting to get hurt but at the same time I don’t want Sonic to get hurt but there’s always gotta be one little guy that makes you smile. That makes you wanna say ‘awww’. That’s like a little brother to the big guys who make you scream and laugh and cry. I love Silver Sonic, he’s cute, awesome and nobody can tell me otherwise.
I mean despite how busy you are you still produce these videos pretty damn fast and they're all pretty great so thanks for the content despite how busy you've been man
Just going to provide some additional information for context. The Game Gear was essentially a portable Master System. However, there was some stark differences as one is a home console and the other is a portable. If you play Sonic 2 on the Master System, which released a few days before it's Game Gear counterpart, the game is a lot easier because you have more visible screen area to see the levels. The Game Gear screen required a lot of the view to be cropped out so you could still see the character reasonably, but this had the effect of making the portable game much harder to play. The portable game did not receive the same treatment that Sonic 1 being ported form Master System to Game Gear did, where programmers added additional elements to help the player with upcoming hazards.
I kinda see silver sonic more of a badnik than part of the actual metal series. His simple design really has me thinking eggman made it as a quick and cheap metal sonic to produce and throw at sonic just like all the other badniks. It also shows in metal sonics bossfight were he can just endlessly produce them. I kinda see silver sonic as the budget metal sonic, nowhere near as fast or powerful, but easy to produce and good cannon fodder.
Look at this guy, pumping out videos left and right.
Every time a Game Apologist video comes out, I drop everything to watch it. Since I know it'll be entertaining, and just good quality. Keep it up.
The little brother idea is fine with me.
There's good storyline potential here..... Metal sonic and Silver sonic GG as brother robots trying to eradicate sonic for good.
I love silver sonic so much, all versions in their own way but the small one is so goofy to me and I love it
I can’t wait for this years mecha madness hoping for tails doll because he is a robot
Silver Sonic looks like Xavier from Xavier: renegade angel
He's absolutely adorable.
I think the redesign changes him from Trash to Hes so adorable!
Thought this was an April fools video, not disappointed at all
It's a incredible shame Mecha Sonic 3&K and or "Robo Sonic" in Mania. At least this means if they ever make a second Mania game.
I think the idea of both Sonics spindashing into each other with them both bouncing back is cool, like they are actually evenly matched.
You guys are too cruel.
Regarding the whole Silver/Mecha confusion, these are the names I've given the three robots.
Genesis Silver Sonic: Silver Sonic
Game Gear/Master System Silver Sonic: Silver Sonic Prototype
S3&K Mecha Sonic: Mecha Sonic
I always referred to these as mini silver sonics. Yeah sure not a creative name but it at least lightens up on confusion. These things always looked kinda cool to me especially with the long arms.
Silver Sonic's adorable, now Tails Doll is just creepy to me lol.
I actually LIKE this design cuz its so derpy looking lol Its so cool how his signature smile is there in every design
I love this version of robot sonics legit for the entire reasons you said you dislike it. He just looks so weak and off normal to the point he loops around to cute
"This looked like Eggman slapped this thing together."
Probably did, looks like he ran out of spare parts for his spare parts.
Metal Sonic is sonic from a timeline where he failed to save Little Planet and was roboticized.
6:55 the artist us jollyjack btw
😢 he has done nothing to you said he looked worst then the baby sonic robot thing how dare you silver sonic will come back better then ever
If he had ears I would cover them, so he wouldn't have to hear all of your hurtful words, you monster!
That exploding baby sonic robot is way more cursed Idk about what y’all think
I saw this guy in Sonic Mania and thought, "so... pretty much just a slightly better badnick". Also figured out how to beat this phase on my own.
This is an adorable design. I was getting confused to why you hate this so much, like, its not bad. It felt like the audio was meant for a different design and silver sonic was the closest punching bag.
The only entertaining video today so far on all of TH-cam
Well,he was the first sonic robot i ever saw,so i hold a special place for him.
They're kinda cute for a lil' clunky fellow.
-Then again I like pseudo sonic's design.-
I would rather call this robot Robo Sonic and the *real* Silver Sonic, as Silver Sonic.
I was so hype to see him return in Sonic Mania, he even does game gear spin dash sounds, complete with the bitcrushiness
