The latest issue of IDW’s current Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles run introduces the beloved character of Metalhead seen in both the original and current cartoon. Choosing the make the Turtle-shaped robot created by Harold after his run-in with Baxter Stockman, Metalhead is introduced to Donatello, April, and Angel for the first time when the robot goes haywire and starts attacking them.
Redesigned to give the robot a vehicle mode, which is kinda spiffy, Metalhead proves more than a match for Donnie and is only stopped by Angel borrowing Harod’s Exo-Suit (shocking the scientist and playing on the comic’s long-running theme of characters being more than they initially appear).
Given the damage the robot sustains it may be a few issues before we see Metalhead return, but his introduction continues to deepen and enrich the current landscape of the Turtles and should please fans of various earlier versions of the character. Worth a look.

Of course Mikey isn’t quite as smooth as hiding his new pursuits from Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo as he thinks.
Goofy to be sure, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #11 turns out to be a lot of fun as Mikey gets to live out his dreams of being a super-hero and having a sidekick – at least until Karai shows up waning to know what the Turtle has done to her robot.
While not quite as entertaining, the episode’s back-up story features the Turtles interrupting the Kraang‘s latest Mutagen experiment transforming a cut little bunny into something for the Turtles to push through a portal (after their done beating up the Kraang). Worth a look.
