But then Metal Sonic defeats Surge soundly inImposter Syndrome#4 by writer Ian Flynn , artist Thomas Rothlisberger , inker Gigi Dutreix , colorist Valentina Pinto and letterer Shawn Lee . Metal Sonic would have most likely destroyed Surge if Tails ' cyborg replacement and Surge ’s sidekick   Kitsunami " Kit " the Fennec did n’t follow to her adjutant . To further drive the tip home , IDW has Surge conclude her original actor’s line to Metal Sonic in a scandalous fashion during their fight . She begin by saying ,   " You want to be the ' real ' Sonic ? You ai n’t got the ticker ! You ai n’t go the soul!“But then Surge begins to lose . However , Kit comes to her deliverance , to which Surge finishes her words by sound out , " And you ai n’t dumbfound the accompaniment . "

The instrumental purpose that Tails ' cyborg replacement Kit plays in Metal Sonic ’s defeat further proves the grandness of Tails . Dr. Starline really began touch to this theory earlier in theImposter Syndrometie - in series when he revealed thatKit ’s purpose was to poise out Surge . Since both of his creations were modeled after Sonic and Tails ' relationship , Starline was basically confirming that Tails is essential to Sonic . The effect in Surge ’s struggle against Metal Sonic therefore serves as the physical proof that validate Starline ’s hypothesis even if it was n’t a primal portion in his overall programme . Surge was not only pattern after Sonic , after all . Dr. Starline was so fix in his belief that Metal Sonic always lose because he did n’t have a kernel or soul that his entire experiment was predicated on him using real - life Fennecs and Tenrecs as the base to augment with robotic part .

This development is peculiarly important because of how much IDW’sSonic- even Archie Comics ' discontinued serial - have invariably shortchanged Tails . A late example in IDW pass off when Kit himselfmade Tails ' magnanimous minute worthlesseven after Tails ' invention help shoot down the nefarious group of Zeti demons , the Deadly Six . No matter how many astonishing thing Tails might create , it will be hard for him to top Kit ’s hydro baron . Hopefully , Tails will prove himself in ways he never has before during the massive conflict royal that will include theImposter Syndromeseries , which take place in IDW ’s monumental 50th offspring ofSonic the Hedgehog .
