Quick question, given the information in IDW, could one play the role of Neo Metal, given he was intended to be deployed in the final battle of Forces, but this didn't occur due to Sonic and pals moving too quickly?

Otherwise, interesting idea, there's also a theory going around that the ending of Forces is a bad end, and that it was all a trick, I can find the theory if I look around. Anyways, I'll have to think on who I could deploy here or what canon role I'd take.
