Metal Sonic Mark III, Metal Sonic Wiki

Metal Sonic Mark III was an upgrade of Metal Sonic which would have appeared in Sonic X-Treme. It changed Metal (or Mecha) Sonic's appearance to be taller and red and also gave him two spear/pile-bunker-like arms. It only has one spine, and also has shoulder & knee pads.
