Metalhead

This article is about the Metalhead from the 1987 series, for the Justice Force Metalhead see Metal Head.

Metalhead is a rogue robot turtle in the 1987 cartoon series. Krang imbued Metalhead with the thoughts and memories of all the turtles in "The Making of Metalhead." Because Metalhead had all the turtles personalities, it was subject to dissociative identity disorder. Donatello later reprograms Metalhead to fight for the turtles, but because of its instability due to the multiple personalities, Metalhead blew up and was only seen again as a vacuum ("Big Bug Blunder").

Metalhead also appears in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time as the boss of the second level Alleycat Blues. He has extending punch and kick attacks, as well as a machine gun in his chest. This version was slightly redesigned for the remake, Turtles in Time Re-Shelled; this version of Metalhead was voiced by Wayne Grayson. The Super NES version of Turtles in Time erroneously refers to Metalhead as Mechaturtle, a boss from the first NES game who is similar to Metalhead as both are robotic versions of the turtles.
