Greetings HeroClix Fans!<\/p>\n

Welcome back for another thrilling preview for the much anticipated\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/strong>\u00a0HeroClix set!\u00a0 The\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/strong>\u00a0Gravity Feed features more than 30 characters from the\u00a032-year history, based on both\u00a0the comics and animated TV series.\u00a0 So pop your heads out of the sewers and come out of your shells to meet another long time ally of the Turtles,\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Teenage<\/a><\/p>\n

Donatello<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0Robot<\/em>\u00a0creation\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0is a durable\u00a0TMNT Ally<\/em>\u00a0that packs a punch at 100 points. He will do very well when paired with\u00a0Donatello<\/strong>\u00a0due to his trait,\u00a0I Built Him, and I have the Remote<\/em>, which allows you to remove a token from\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0at the beginning of your turn and give an action token to an adjacent friendly\u00a0Donatello<\/strong>. This should be an easy feat to pull off since\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0possesses the\u00a0Flight<\/em>\u00a0combat symbol and can most likely carry\u00a0Donatello<\/strong>\u00a0across the map, keeping him close. Then\u00a0Donatello<\/strong>\u00a0will be clear to take that token, making it possible for\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0to take actions more than two turns in a row. Combining that ability with\u00a0Indomitable<\/em>, which allows him to use\u00a0Willpower,<\/em>\u00a0and not take damage when he does get a second action token, will let him keep going and going without penalty.<\/p>\n

Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0starts with\u00a0Sidestep<\/em>\u00a0as a Speed power, giving you even greater options for staying close to his buddy\u00a0Donatello<\/strong>. After that first click,\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0gains\u00a0Running Shot<\/em>\u00a0so that he can move and then make a ranged attack targeting one or two opposing characters.\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0gains\u00a0Earthbound\/Neutralized<\/em>\u00a0on the second half of his dial, signifying mechanical malfunction as he loses the abilities of\u00a0Flight<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Indomitable<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0is obviously built to attack multiple targets, starting with\u00a0Precision Strike<\/em>, enabling him with a greater chance to deal damage to multiple foes since they won\u2019t be able to evade the attack or reduce damage to below 1.\u00a0Energy Explosion<\/em>\u00a0appears 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.<\/p>\n

Defensively,\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>\u00a0will be able to take quite a beating from those nasty Foot Soldiers or even the Turtles in a friendly sparring session. \u00a0Impervious<\/em>\u00a0at the start will give him a chance to avoid all attack damage that isn\u2019t penetrating, and he\u2019ll still possess a respectable power of\u00a0Invulnerability<\/em>\u00a0on clicks 3 and 4 before weakening to\u00a0Toughness<\/em>\u00a0for his last two clicks.\u00a0 He is one tough shell to crack!<\/p>\n

That finishes up our preview on\u00a0Metalhead<\/strong>!\u00a0 Keep your dice warm and get ready for Turtle Power to hit your tables in\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/strong>\u00a0HeroClix!<\/p>\n<\/div>
