Metal Tails is a robotic version of Miles "Tails" Prower created by Dr. Eggman in Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series. A member of Eggman's Metal Series Badniks, it first appeared alongside the rest of its group in Sonic Universe #37 when Eggman unveiled the series to his Dark Egg Legion grandmasters. It would appear again in StH #240 when the Death Egg Mk. II launched its second attack against New Mobotropolis. Metal Tails proved to be rather ineffective during this battle as it was struck with an arrow from behind which jammed its tail-rotors, grounding it. Rotor the Walrus then destroyed Metal Tails with several laser blasts from his battle-suit.
Capabilities[]
Metal Tails can fly using helicopter-style rotors attached to its back which are designed to mimic Tails' fox brushes. Other than clawed hands, it seems to possess no other weaponry, or if it did, it never got to use its weaponry before it was destroyed. Metal Tails had limited AI (perhaps out of Eggman's spite toward Tails whose IQ rivals his own) and was programmed to follow instructions from Metal Sonic in the field.
