** Tails and Knuckles also had their robotic knockoffs:

** Tails and Tails, Knuckles and Amy also had have their robotic knockoffs:



*** In ''VideoGame/SonicMania'', the Act 2 boss of Metallic Madness is Eggman controlling the Gachapandora, a gumball machine which releases gachapons every time your character spins it: they can either be smaller Eggmans controlling toy machines of the Egg Drillster and Egg Scorcher... or Amy Dolls. Despite being small "toy" robots, they are way more sophisticated than the aforementioned Tails Doll: they run towards your character, jump to grab him, and make a SlasherSmile before exploding. [[spoiler:They can be destroyed like any other enemy, but if one of them "hugs" your character, you won't be able to move him until she explodes.]]
*** ''VideoGame/SonicSuperstars'' eventually introduces both Metal Amy and Metal Tails, to join up with series favorite Metal Sonic, as well as Metal Knuckles, [[TheBusCameBack making his return to the series since]] ''[[VideoGame/SonicR Sonic R]]''. [[spoiler:Not only that, Metal Trip also shows up as well, with its appearance based on her unarmored look.]]

** In ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'', the SpacePirates make several weapon designs to emulate Samus's Chozo Power Suit. While they are supposed to be copies of her various beam weapons, they all act like the regular Power Beam, and an inferior version to boot. They also attempted to copy the Morph Ball, only to have it ''horribly mutilate the test subjects''. Needless to say, they moved on.

Added DiffLines:

** The [[CombiningMecha Mechas]] are no strangers for this trope either. Starting from ''Zenkaiger'', each show would feature an evil recolor of the Rangers' main robo that is usually (but not always) piloted by an [[EvilCounterpart Evil Ranger]]:
*** ''Zenkaiger'' has [=ZenkaiOh=] Black [=JuraGaon=] (Piloted by the aforementioned Stacaesar, but said Mecha only lasts two episodes, with Stacaesar usually piloting the Battle Caesar Robos instead).
*** ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' has Black Onitaijin Murasame. (Piloted by Don Murasame).
*** ''Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger'' has King-Ohger ZERO (Piloted by [=OhKuwagata=] Ohger).
*** ''Series/BakuageSentaiBoonboomger'' has the Boonboom Killer Robo.
*** Notably, the [[TheMovie Summer Movies]] of ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' and ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' predate this trend, with the former introducing Fake [=GokaiOh=] (Piloted by Los Dark) and the latter introducing Tobaspino (A recolor of Gabutyra piloted by Deathryuger, though in this case the evil ranger forced Tobaspino to work for him).

*** The boss of ''[[VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy Sonic Advance]]'''s Angel Island Zone at first appears to be Knuckles, except that his colors are somewhat off... Halfway through the fight, however, his fake skin peels away and he starts firing huge missiles out of his mouth, revealing him to actually be a robotic duplicate called Mecha Knuckles.

** After Optimus recovered the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Star Saber]] in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', Megatron took drastic steps to create his own ''Dark'' Star Saber to counter it. The Dark Star Saber ''shattered'' the original. [[spoiler:The reforged Star Saber fares much better.]]
*** Earlier, Silas' efforts over the series researching the Transformers culminated in the creation of Nemesis Prime, a remote-controlled version of Optimus Prime.
