Metal Sonic: Target Locked.

Metal Sonic's robotic target locked sound from the Sonic games, a short mechanical alert creators use for lock-on moments in edits and gaming videos.

This is the cold, mechanical lock-on cue associated with Metal Sonic, the robotic rival to Sonic the Hedgehog. A clipped synthetic voice delivers the phrase with flat, machine-like precision, often backed by a sharp electronic blip or targeting tone that makes the moment feel instant and inescapable. It does not sound playful or human; it sounds calculated, like a machine that has finished scanning and made its decision. In a video, that shift in tone creates sudden tension, turning a casual clip into a confrontation as the audience waits to see what happens next.
