Metal Scourge is a robotic duplicate of Scourge the Hedgehog, much like Metal Sonic is to Sonic the Hedgehog.
History
Dr. Eggman created this robot in 3237 "on the fly", his first mission was to assist Metal Sonic in defeating Sonic and Scourge the Hedgehog. For a time victory seemed within their grasp, but both Metal Scourge and Metal Sonic were destroyed when the Suppression Squad was called in by Scourge to assist in the battle. (StH: #191, #192)
Parts from Metal Scourge (along with some from Metal Sonic and the Metal Sonic Troopers) were later salvaged and used to reconstruct Shard by Sir Charles Hedgehog. (StH: #238)
Abilities
Metal Scourge is identical in abilities to Metal Sonic, with super speed, strength, and flight capabilities. He is notable in having a twin-slotted intake engine, which mirrors Scourge's scar, but it is unknown whether this affected his performance.
Background Information
- Metal Scourge is the only robot Eggman has created based off of a resident from Moebius. He is also the first robot-excluding the Auto Automatons/Infiltrators-created by Eggman or Robotnik who is not modeled after a character originating in the Sega games.
- Metal Scourges eyes are white with black pupils rather than the black eyes with red pupils of Metal Sonic.
