Metalhead is a robot character in Guitar Hero III, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith,Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Guitar Hero: Metallica. He was originally a warfare artifact hailing from the Soviet Union, but with the end of the Cold War he was reprogrammed to be a guitarist. Doesn't appear in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, but he is an unlockable character in the Wii and PS2 versions (he, along with Elroy Budvis, can be bought in the Store from the beginning). His movements like the God of Rock, mimic Axel Steel
He has a bulky iron body, with wheeled feet and an acrylic dome for a head. Inside of it, he "wears" a military cap and sunglasses.
When you buy him, he comes with Metalhead's Molotov, a laser gun with 6 strings attached.
He was also announced for the PS3 version, likely as downloadable content.
In Aerosmith, he has four new costumes; a Budcat (PS3/Xbox 360 exclusive), Wisionsbot (Wii/PS2 exclusive), Gumball, and Mr. Pineal.
Curiously, Metalhead resembles the robot used to represent "The Metal" during live concerts of the song The Metal.
[edit] Biography
Metalhead's life cycle began as a self-guided Russian warhead. After the Cold War he was disarmed and hocked for spare parts. A few toasters, some vacuum tubes, a '57 roadster, and a cheese grater later, and Metalhead was the first fully autonomous robot. Thus began Metalhead's full-on assault against all things slow and lame. Far from his humble Soviet silo beginnings, Metalhead is ready to get on stage and drop the bomb! -- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero World Tour & Guitar Hero Metallica in-game bio .
