Donatello's digital duplicate more commonly referred to as Metalhead (Formally known as "Metal-Don") is a robotic enemy of the Turtles.
History[]
Origin[]
After returning to his own body from his temporary stay in Metalhead, a digital imprint of Donatello's mind was left behind. Donatello had found Metalhead and reconstructed it from the damage taken after the siege on Shredder, only to discover another "him" still existing in the robotic body. Michelangelo dubbed this second version of his brother "Metal-Don," being the only one besides Donatello to see the digital duplicate as a real person.
Donatello ran a number of tests on his mind's digital duplicate, but Metal-Don became increasingly frustrated. Don took Metal-Don out on the town to clear both of their minds, and they were enjoying themselves until they reached the Central Park Zoo, when an encounter with a rhinoceros caused Metal-Don to flash back to the near-fatal beating Donatello suffered at the hands of Rocksteady and Bebop. Metal-Don blasted and killed the rhino, saying that it was better off dead than imprisoned, and expressed a need for his own freedom. He attacked Donatello, demanding his body "back," but the sight of Donatello's tears and pleading once again reminded him of Rocksteady and Bebop. Instead of further aggression, he fled.
Donatello returned home to tell his brothers what happened. They tracked Metal-Don to one of Harold Lilja's old labs, where they found the empty Metalhead chassis. Donatello looked into the security footage and found that Metal-Don uploaded himself to a secret project Harold had been working on—a much larger, more powerful Metalhead body.
The Turtles followed Metal-Don to the TCRI building, where he had knocked out all of the guards. Metal-Don hooked himself up to the power core in hopes that the power surge would reboot his CPU; Donatello, however, is worried that not only will the surge destroy Metal-Don, but the entire building as well. Metal-Don and the Turtles scuffled, and after Leonardo severs his connection to the computer, the robot initiated his self-destruct sequence. Instead of actually detonating, Metal-Don purged the "virus" from his system—essentially, the compassion, emotions, empathy, and all other humanistic qualities that made Donatello more than a cold, calculating mind. The robot rocketed off into the night, proclaiming that Metal-Don was dead.
Second confrontation[]
The robot returned sometime later when a Metalhead homing beacon attracted his attention. He found that Donatello was trying to create a neural interface that would allow him to predict possible futures. He assisted Donatello in creating and using the interface, only to be interrupted and damaged by Harold. Donatello then revealed that he had set up a radiation field to sabotage Metal-Don, believing that the robot was going to double-cross him.
Metal-Don attempted to strangle Donatello, but Harold threatened him with a weapon of his own devising, and the robot commanded Harold to throw a smoke grenade that allowed him to escape. Before he left, Donatello expressed regret for having taken away the chance for both of them to work with someone who empathizes with them, but Metal-Don reiterates that they are not the same.
City at War[]
Now calling himself "Metalhead," the robot then fought his way into the E.P.F. headquarters to speak to Agent Bishop, offering an alliance that would provide Bishop with the Turtles.

After The Armageddon Game, Krang's corpse was removed from Metalhead's robotic body and the Utroms decided to leave him in the scrap heap. After they left however, he reactivated.
Mutant Nation[]
After finishing repairing himself and returning to New York Metalhead couldn't find Donatello, however he came across Jennika and by spying on her, he learned to where to find Raphael. Metalhead tracked down Raphael and ambushed him in the outskirts of Kingman, Arizona. After subduing the turtle Metalhead proceeded to take Pepperoni hostage, thereby forcing Raphael to assist him into breaking into Area 51. With the guards distracted thanks to the havoc caused by Raphael, Metalhead infiltrated the base's central computer. He was able to download a vast amount of data until the link was severed. Then security drones began swarming into the room. Metalhead easily destroyed them all only to deal with another security measure and getting set on fire. Metalhead survived but his containment device was damaged allowing Pepperoni to escape. Metalhead then came across Madam Null who proposed they joined forces, promising the robot great rewards in exchange for his services. Metalhead accepted the offer and opened her cell door while also inadvertently opening the cells of the captured Raphael and the Mutanimals. With their alliance formed Metalhead and Madam Null stole a salvaged spacecraft from an Area 51 hanger and escaped.
