Here’s the basics on Metalhead #018:
“He will do very well when paired with Donatello due to his trait, I Built Him, and I have the Remote, which allows you to remove a token from Metalhead at the beginning of your turn and give an action token to an adjacent friendly Donatello. …Combining that ability with Indomitable, which allows him to use Willpower, and not take damage when he does get a second action token, will let him keep going and going without penalty.
Metalhead starts with Sidestep as a Speed power, giving you even greater options for staying close to his buddy Donatello. After that first click, Metalhead gains Running Shot . Metalhead gains Earthbound/Neutralized on the second half of his dial, signifying mechanical malfunction as he loses the abilities of Flight and Indomitable.
Metalhead is obviously built to attack multiple targets, starting with Precision Strike. Energy Explosion appears on the second half of the dial, which gives him the ability to deal 2 damage (from his two lightning bolts) to untargeted characters adjacent to his target on a successful ranged attack.
Defensively, Impervious at the start will give him a chance to avoid all attack damage that isn’t penetrating, and he’ll still possess a respectable power of Invulnerability on clicks 3 and 4 before weakening to Toughness for his last two clicks.”
