YMMV / What If Sonic Lost His Memory?

• Complete Monster: Dr. Eggman is far worse than usual. Recovering Sonic after his believed death during the ARK incident, Eggman uses Sonic as a template to create the Sonic Androids, intending to use them to conquer the world, even succeeding in the dystopian Bad Future that Silver comes from. Following Neo Metal Sonic's defeat, Eggman manipulates the amnesiac Sonic into thinking that Eggman created him for freedom-fighting purposes, with Eggman also attacking and throwing out Metal Sonic as a means of fabricating a story about Metal being one of Tails' villainous creations, turning Sonic against his friends and manipulating him into becoming the vanguard of his Sonic Android army. When Sonic's friends discover one of Eggman's bunkers, Eggman attempts to kill them all at once with a raid of missiles, while revealing to them that his army has already been dispatched. During the ensuing battle, Eggman uses the Egg Dealer to empower Sonic with massive amounts of Chaos energy, aiming to have the amnesiac hedgehog brutally massacre all his friends, with his plan being to eventually restore Sonic's memory just to send him into a state of guilt and despair before finishing him off himself.
• Heartwarming Moments: The speech of gratitude Sonic gives to Black Shadow once his memory is finally restored:
  Sonic: You never gave up on me. Even when I wasn't… me. Man, I can't believe I ever called you "faker". You're the realest hedgehog there is.
