> Mettaton is never directly cited as it's creator anywhere. We assumed it was him at the time of Chapter 2 because of Undertale vibes, but that's honestly no better than saying Kris is Chara and they genocided everyone's piles of Asriel's dust.

I had basically already responded to this earlier. There is no concrete evidence Mettaton made it besides vibes and nostalgia. The word "neo" itself was first said by Jevil, in chapter 1.

RC: like its called spamton _ **NEO** _ and uses a design and leitmotif from the _ **mettaton neo** _ fight it doesn't take a genius to think "hm maybe mettaton is related to this somehow" but instead you're like "w-w-wait guys, what if its _gulp_ d-d-december" because of evidence that's circumstantially related to her and for what? Truly, what does that add to her character? Like with mettaton its cool fanservice for undertale fans but if its dess that doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, If anything, mettaton only uses the word neo because he thought it was cool

So if King uses the word "The" and Queen also says "The" does that mean they're related?

I had also already responded to this. If it's Dess, it explains why the Titan acts like Spamton NEO, and could also explain some of her motivation and what lead her to become the knight.

RC: there's also the [autumn 2024 newsletter](https://toby.fangamer.com/interviews/chapter2_music/) where toby directly says that spamton was made from a desire to make a full mettaton ex fight

I mean, that didn't happen. Toby is also writing the game backwards from a single dream he had 15 years ago, even in this newsletter he states he has been concepting the fight for at least 5 years.

The fight concept evolved so drastically, the body is now a critical plot point in Spamton's arc, FRIEND's first appearance and the Shadow Crystal quest. While before it would just be a fanservice fight. What else could've changed?

You showed me a quote of Toby saying "I wanted a mettaton NEO boss fight, but that changed" and asked me to take it as concrete evidence.

I'm just gonna reply one last time then, cause you mentioned something important I didn't address in this for brevity: [ERAM also has Power Of "NEO" / Battle Against a True Hero](https://youtu.be/X14cngekYPU?si=I99I93A8PzqcQxky&t=243).

Edit: Tenna's _IT'S TV TIME!_ also [has Death by Glamour](https://youtu.be/IMH0oPhJLZI?si=kTEXJDTnsBgfEsNl). And we have confirmation that he has no connection to Tenna at all, the motifs could mean nothing.

In Power Of "NEO"'s case playing for Eram, it actually means a lot. Because it ties Eram to the NEO body, which is also something I address in my doc (did I mention it's a 100 pages?)

I dislike your theory, but at the end of the day, I don't really care.  
what i WILL stress to everybody here, is that the NEO body is NOT pointless fanservice.  
it is a way of showing the repression and, perhaps, DEpression that almost everybody in hometown feels. Mettaton gave up on their/his dreams, asgore's divorced as hell, that one rabbit can't walk her brother  
etc, etc  
and you can't argue that the people of hometown aren't repressed, because that's where dark worlds and their escapism factors tie in.

They're an escape from the dreary hometown, where sure, everything's fine, but everybody's got problems, nobody's fully open.  
The NEO body is a way of showing hometown's discarded dreams  
as well as toby literally just wanting to fight mettaton neo  
like he said in the newsletter he just wanted a proper neo fight like dude it's not that deep

not to mention that spamton's name very likely is a portmanteau of spam and mettaton

ALSO  
NO  
NONONO  
TV TIME DOES NOT HAVE DEATH BY GLAMOUR.  
ALSO  
YOU'RE STILL WRONG ABOUT NO CONNECTION TO TENNA  
GIVEN METTATON LITERALLY CAN ADOPT TENNA  
AND TENNA WAS DESIGNED WITH METTATON IN MIND  
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE REST _BUT DO NOT EVEN TRY ME WITH MOTIFS_
