I was also disappointed that Lord Vringath Dregg was revealed to be a robot, but then I was thinking about this recently:

As you know, Lord Dregg has the  Vreen, right? The Vreen are insect-like aliens that are both made out of organics and technology (This is where Playmates get the name "Robugs" from). Lord Dregg is their master and ruler. But not only that, but their father. Lord Dregg has considered the Vreen to be his children and all in past episodes. He even gets sentimental when he sees them being killed before his eyes.

I think that because of this, Lord Vringath Dregg might be some type of superior Vreen. Both of these characters do have very similar characteristics. And since he is an Insectoid and has the characteristics of an insect, Lord Dregg and the Vreen can be compared to various insects like bees. In a beehive, you have the bees that serve as soldiers or the queen's mate. Then you have the Queen Bee, which has a similar appearance to the other bees, but she has other different characteristics. This can compare to the Insectoids. The Vreen are the servants and soldiers of the species that serve their ruler. Then you have Lord Vringath Dregg, who is the main one of the Insectoids and rules the "bee hive".

Speaking of hive, let's talk about something that the show revealed in The Cosmic Ocean. So Donatello reveals that the Vreen share a hive mind that only Lord Vringath Dregg can command. And as you could remember, Lord Dregg was swallowed alongside with Armaggon by Cthugga. Afterwards, since they lost their master, they ran away from the fight. And as you can recover, The Kraang share a hive mind that Kraang Prime commands, who is the ruler of The Kraang right? If you compare both hive minds, you can see that the ruler of the race is the one to command this hive mind. But there is where this gets a little complicated. So as you can also recover, Kraang Prime has psychic powers, which he gained through his mutation. And as you might know, we haven't seen Lord Vringath Dregg showing any signs that he is psychic at all. So how can he command this hive mind. Well he is an Insectoid and there are also insects that share a hive mind, and this is where we go back with the bees. As the bees serve the Queen Bee, the others serve her through a hive mind they share. This makes the bees know what to do. We can say that the hive mind comes from insects characteristics as well, but we can also say that since Lord Vringath Dregg isn't psychic, that the hive mind is caused with technology. This technology is the technology that is inside of them.

So maybe if Lord Vringath Dregg is actually some superior Vreen, then it's possible that this explains the robot head inside of him. For now, we don't have more information provided because of this, but let's hope to see Lord Vringath Dregg making a return to the show. I hope The Evil of Dregg wasn't his final episode.
