[Would it really even be you that comes back, if Egghead did go and remake you?
Perhaps it was a critical mistake to assume that any "death" of his in this world wouldn't matter. After all, he isn't organic, like so many of the other beings brought here. Would he be brought back in the same way they are? There's been no information on other robotic beings brought to this world that he could find. There's no other test cases. So if Sonic is right, and if his complete destruction here means that he can't come back through magic like the rest of them can...
Then would he still be Neo Metal Sonic, if he was remade by someone else?
Theoretically, someone with the correct knowledge would be able to rebuild his core components, thus restoring his databanks and memory. With the same knowledge and memories then yes, he would have to be the same person. But Eggman - for all his many flaws - is a genius. Though Sonic's companion Tails may eventually grow to match the man in intelligence, even he cannot possibly do what Eggman could, which includes building - or in this case rebuilding Metal Sonic. So what are the odds that someone else here would have the correct knowledge, because neither Sonic nor Neo himself could provide it?
There are hundreds of thousands of other worlds out there. Perhaps someone could be found that could repair him. But it's equally likely that they couldn't.
This is going in circles. It is pointless to speculate on it, because it didn't happen. He is still in peak condition, and he has the means to repair most problems that could arise; it was one of the first things he did on arriving here. So all of this is pointless.]
Why does it matter? It would only be beneficial for you to rid yourself of me permanently.
[And that's... a good question, really. He hasn't forgotten Sonic's words from earlier, but surely even an idiot (like Sonic) can see that his life would be much easier without Neo around.]
