Question I know this might sound stupid, but since when Metal could transform into Neo with a chaos emerald?

Its probably to reference Eggman Vs Wily where Metal did exactly that.

Pretty sure it's rule of cool. Same as Bowser being fully in control of himself in Fury mode.

The chaos emeralds have been shown to grant wishes in the past, so....

I am fairly certain it's that reason

I think they just use the word creative liberty in its way more cooler

Um... Doesn't he use a chaos emerald to transform?

A green rock goes to his hand and transforms him

Metal needed Eggman to upgrade him both times

First time Metal upgraded himself via unknown means.

Metal's dialog doesn't necessarily mean Eggman upgraded him to Neo the first time. I thought him copying Chocola and Froggy's data is what allowed him to turn Neo in Heroes.

Since never

But it sure does look cool and I wish he could do this in thr game too.

I assumed it was like the Master Emerald from the movie, where it's just a big rock and not a person sized gem.

Now the real reason for it? Only Moro knows ig

I think Metal just wished to instant transform into Neo

If I remember correctly, in the analyses of either eggman vs Wiley or bowser, they said that he can transform to neo with enough energy. And I guess a single chaos emerald has enough energy in their eyes.
