I'm dedicating a whole thread to everyone's favorite tank busting lunatic!
Not really sure how to kick this thread off except with a little trivia. Did you know that in the original comic books/his first appearance Metal-Head's targeting cybernetics and everything were made by a division of Stark Industries? Did you also know that Gary Chalk voiced him and was famous for voicing Optimus Primal in Beast Wars among many other rolls in other cartoons such as Gutsman from The Mega Man DIC cartoon? Anywho I just wanted to kick this thread off, and maybe who knows...maybe we'll eventually get a Classified figure of him. Fingers crossed at least ha ha. BANG! BANG! |

I never liked him, he seemed like a crazier version of Scrap-Iron.

Bang-Bang!
Apart from Cobra Commander, one of the few entertaining in DIC GIJoe. Even his filecard said this guy was out there. |

I completely and totally agree! I do remember watching the DIC cartoon a bit as a kid, and Metal-Head was one of the few things I loved about it. Not saying he's the best Cobra Character but he's just one of my personal favorites. Sure he doesn't have a complex backstory but you don't need one to have a fun and enjoyable character. And yes we did have Scrap Iron in RAH but like I said Metal-Head to me was cheeky and fun. Nothing against Scrap Iron though I like anti-tank specialist.

Yes! I could see a Classified version of Metal-Head based on v4 ( https://www.yojoe.com/action/15/metalhead4.shtml ) being a really cool figure. Sure, he could use a few tweaks to add some detail to him but the overall head design is good and the accessories rock.

A fellow Metal-Head enjoyer! He and Cobra Commander really carried the DIC series on their backs. The whole show was nonsense, but Meta-Head helped make it entertaining nonsense!
