Mech Suits Me is episode 13 of Season 2 of Sonic Boom, the CGI comedy series made by Technicolor Animation Productions with Sega of America. It premiered in the United States on 4 February 2017 on Boomerang.
Synopsis
A game of Jungle Predator leads Team Sonic into a cave covered in Ancient writing, where a mech suit lies under rubble. Its design is pure Sonic, and he is in the cockpit before Tails can mention safety tests. Lucky, really: Eggman has sealed them in behind a force field, and the suit punches through it, then makes scrap of Mega Bot.
The suit doesn’t stop at robots. Sonic nearly blasts a terrified Eggman before Amy snaps him out of it, and soon he turns into a jerk, jumping the Meh Burger queue, chatting up the twins Perci and Staci and wrecking a volleyball game. Blame the symbiont chip Tails spots in the blueprints, which bends the pilot to the suit’s will. Sonic storms off to partner with Eggman.
It lasts until Eggman tries to keep the suit for himself. Sonic chases him into the village, blasts the Eggmobile out of the sky and turns on Mayor Fink. Its shield blocks everything except while charging a full blast, so Sticks draws its fire while Amy flings Tails into the cockpit to pull the chip. Sonic remembers nothing, except the twins (only because he doesn’t like them, he hastily tells Amy).
