Having been assembled by Dr. Eggman, Team Metal was deployed in an attack on New Mobotropolis in coalition with Eggman's Egg Swat troops. Eggman had hoped to save the group for another occasion, but was forced to launch them due to the unexpectedly strong resistance his forces encountered. Though formidable, the trio was unable to overcome Team Freedom, the city's defenders, who were aided from the shadows by the Secret Freedom Fighters. Metal Sonic fell to his predecessor Shard, Metal Amy was destroyed by Big the Cat after Silver the Hedgehog paralyzed her with his telekinesis, and Metal Tails fell to the combined efforts of Elias Acorn and Rotor Walrus.
