The Turtles were already on the move and Metalhead was with them. She snuck into a warehouse, and discovered that the Krang were going to poison the city’s water supply. She has developed into a smart girl, who can also fight. O’Neal’s character development is going well. Although the Turtles do not travel during the day, O’Neal decided that she would. April O’Neal set up a website that helped the Turtles track the Krang’s movements. Michelangelo and Leonardo launched a surprised attack, but failed to take down Metalhead. He issued a challenge to his brothers, defeat Metalhead. The rest of the Turtles doubted it, but Donatello wanted to make a point. He brought back a broken Krang droid and remodified it.ĭonatello’s intelligence was finally shown to its truest potential.Īfter he built his new machine, Donatello bragged about how incredible it was. He realized that a wooden staff cannot fight well against alien technology, thus producing metal head. In the beginning fight scene, Donatello’s weapon broke again. In previous episodes, each Turtle had a character development episode. Although the episode featured Metalhead, the real plot was about Donatello. Mission accomplished I believe." Santolouco about his new Metalhead.Last week, TMNT fans saw the arrival of Metalhead. "My goal here was to not only give this version of the character a voice and look of its own, but also to pay a homage to the original design.The speeder/car mode was something that Mateus Santolouco suggested and writer Tom Waltz and editor Bobby Curnow embraced.
Metalhead has two alternate modes, the first one being the "Speeder Mode" where he turns into a small four-wheeled vehicle and the second one being the "Terminator Mode". Metalhead has the Anti-Gravity Gauntlet as his right hand, on his left hand he has a laser cannon, a machine gun and a flame thrower.
When last seen, the empty Metalhead body was left in Donatello's laboratory. The Metalhead body was discarded in favor of a newer version that Lilja had constructed. However, the robotic nature of Metalhead began to eat away at Metal-Don's mind, driving him to violent and erratic actions. Some time later, he attempted to repair Metalhead, only to discover that the robot had retained a digital copy of his mind, which Michelangelo dubbed Metal-Don. The Metalhead body was destroyed in an explosion when Donatello's mind was transferred back to his flesh-and-blood body. The use of Metalhead later became more necessary when Donatello was mortally injured by Rocksteady and Bebop, and it became necessary for Lilja and Professor Honeycutt to transfer Donatello's mind into the robot body. After Donatello had failed to defeat the rogue robot, Angel donned Lilja's exo-suit that he had shown them before, and taken Metalhead out of commission.ĭonatello later used Metalhead as his avatar when communicating with Shredder, so that he wouldn't have to risk himself physically by going to the Foot Clan's domain. He had programmed StockGen Enterprises' entire employee database into its memory as targets, which unfortunately included April. While Lilja was demonstrating the robot's abilities, its circuits fried. Angel uncovered the robot Turtle in Lilja's lab and called it Metalhead. Having seen Donatello in action, he designed his security robot after him, believing his Mutant Turtle body was, at least in part, a factor in his abilities. After being kidnapped by Baxter Stockman and forced to use his intellect for nefarious means, Lilja decided he needed to work on keeping himself secure. Metalhead is a mechanical turtle created by Donatello's quirky scientist ally, Harold Lilja. Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids.
