Metallix Troopers

The Metallix Troopers (formerly known as the Metal Sonic Troopers, also known as the Dr. Koopa Numbers) are the main force of the Brotherhood of Metallix. It is said that there is 10961 of them, but there may be more.

Appearance
Metallix Troopers bear a slight resemblance to Sonic's Cybernik Armor. They sport blue armor with silver and gold accents. This armor covers the Trooper's entire body and is highly detailed. Noticeably, the feet armor resemble Sonic's shoes, but with upturned and pointy toes, and sharp cuffs on each side. It also has sharp kneepads, pelvis plates, small shoulder guards, and wrist cuffs with a sharp end on each of them and a red gem embedded in them. The helmet possesses a visor with silver accents, and golden, wing-like ornaments on the visor joints. The armor also covers the quills and are flexible due to their multiple plates. Lastly, the armor is decorated with medieval lines in various places.

History
100 Metal Sonic Troopers were built while Sonic was tossed in space, to fill the void left by his disappearance. They were built using the Power Gem of Grimer's Metallix. However, when Sonic returned from space, the Troopers were decommissioned.

They were reactivated by the original Metallix and set loose on Dr. Robotnik, as their purpose to protect Knothole was compatible with Metallix's desire to make Robotnik suffer due to Robotnik being the main threat to Knothole. However, unbeknownst to Metallix, Phage also made the Troopers attack Knothole, as she made the Troopers think Robotnik was hiding there.

Dr. Koopa noticed their uprising when Phage tried to convince Shard that Nicole was a threat to Shard's goals (which was a blatant lie, according to Dr. Koopa's programming of the original Metallix, as he made Metallix to grow, learn and adapt to any situation), partly because Shard was himself a Metallix a heart, and any problem of the Metallixes is his concern. After Shard snaps out of Phage's attempted control, he manages to remind the Troopers who they were and where they are. This caused the Troopers to retreat to the Nanite Castle, where they reformed as "The Brotherhood of Metallix" and started mass-producing themselves.

Personality
The Metallix Troopers are loyal to their Emperor. Although they sometimes question the Emperor's sanity, they know that everything the Emperor does is ultimately for the Knothole Kingdom's good.

Being built to protect and serve the Knothole Kingdom, the Troopers hate it when the Kingdom declares them as Mavericks.

Powers and abilities
The Metallix Troopers have all of Shard's powers and abilities. Just like Shard, they're improved from Grimer's design.
