From TMNTpedia: METALHEAD

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.

Heh, pretty funny, Master Splinter. I imagine he would be shouting "DOES NOT COMPUTE.... DOES NOT COMPUTE"

I'm finishing up my drawing as we speak, old-school pen-and-ink. I may throw some color on it last minute. Where's everyone else's??

I have a little story behind this, nothing special...

Krang & Shredder get beat all the time. Krangs exosuit has many many many built in weapons but no matter what form or device he uses, he loses. Krang says "what is it those turtles have that we don't?! Why do we keep losing?! Blasted turtles... thats it! They're turtles!" then the scene changes & later Krang attacks in a turtle exosuit he refers to as "Metalhead"!

He's got a light saber-esque sword on his hand here hand but that arm usually functions as a gun (similar to megaman or samus' blaster cannons). Hes got jet thrusters on his shell & shoulder lasers too.

nice draw Master Splinter ! good idea
