Laird has long had an affinity for drawing robots and mechanical contraptions with all the subtle details. His favorite character is probably Fugitoid. And Donatello, who seems to get stuck with fixing M.H. so often, is probably his favorite Turtle. Despite Laird's well-documented distaste of almost all things Fred Wolf, I would think Metalhead would have been the exception.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Laird the one who didn't like there being too many other turtle characters since they would make the main 4 less unique? I'm not sure where I heard that but it makes sense to have come from him as far as I know.
