The Past

Before the Death of the Old Empire

"Classic" Era

2001

Sonic first fights Dr. Robotnik, and wins.
The doctor starts making robots with the express purpose to destroy him, including a few bots modelled after him. One, Metal Sonic, is made with Sonic's biodata. Robotnik finds him annoying.

2002

After his failure on Little Planet, Metal Sonic 1 is abandoned and replaced by Mecha Sonic MK II.
Sonic meets Tails and lets him join him to defeat Robotnik for a third time.

2003

A second Metal Sonic is created with the body model from the first and some of the base code from Mecha Sonic MK II. Decoe and Bocoe are made to fulfil more of the custodial roles that the twins Scratch and Grounder used to fill. Bokkun is created as a messenger, with a somewhat cute organic design so they're less likely to be attacked.
