Metal Knuckles is a robotic duplicate of Knuckles the Echidna from Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was created by Dr. Eggman and possesses many of the abilities of the real Knuckles. He was one of the elite Metal Series robots that Eggman created during his Death Egg campaign.
History[]
Metal Knuckles was one of Dr. Eggman's Metal Series robots created following the launch of the Death Egg Mk. II. It only saw action once during the Eggman Empire's attack on the Echidna city of Albion when it accompanied Lien-Da and her Dark Egg Legion. It proved to be ineffective against Team Fighters until it merged with the cyber-plant Krudzu and began to merge with a number of other devices strewn across the ruined city. Metal Knuckles proved to be extremely tough in this state and it was only with the aid of Shard that Sonic and Knuckles were able to destroy it.
Abilities[]
Being based on Knuckles' likeness, it stands to reason that Metal Knuckles would possess all of his counterpart's abilities. However, for its one battle before it was destroyed, it melded with the Krudzu, using the cyber-plants own capabilities to fight Sonic and Knuckles.
