[Sonic 3 Spoilers] You think there's a good chance this guy will be the big bad of Sonic 4?
With Robotnik gone for at least a movie or two, a new main villain will be needed for the next installment. And the postcredit has given me some new ideas.
Since it wasn't just a single Metal Sonic that appeared at the end, but rather a whole ARMY of them, this leads me to believe that Neo Metal Sonic will be the main villain of Sonic 4, as Robotnik's ultimate posthumous creation and the leader of all these standard models. I can easily see the next film being a loose Heroes adaptation that also takes cues from CD. What if Neo was introduced as the robot that comes online to be Robotnik's successor, taking command of a bunch of new robot models (also a good opportunity for Omega to appear) and transfers his AI into one of the standard Metal Sonic models by the end of the film to make later appearances as a more traditional Metal Sonic?
