Nah, I can actually edit the Stones and Metal Cap right now, lol. Sorry, it had slipped my mind, otherwise, I would have done it earlier.

From what I'm getting, he was supposed to be Eggman's strongest machine... what game was the Egg Salamander in? If the game was released after Sonic Heroes, then I don't believe Metal should scale. If before, then yeah, he should scale. Because the the Final Egg Blaster was released alongside its game Sonic Battle in December 4, 2003, and Metal Overlord was released alongside his game, Sonic Heroes, a day later, he was made after the Final Egg Blaster, and thus, scales.

But if the Egg Salamander was made after Metal Overlord was, then Eggman never had the Egg Salamander in mind when he created Metal.

Yes, the feats were with Power Stars, but there's one teeny-weensy catch: those feats were feats Mario had accomplished by defeating others powered by Power Stars. Mario never used the Power Stars himself, but rather, defeated others powered by them. Everyone scales to Mario, which is why they're Tier 4. I don't believe there should be a downgrade.
