Metalhead

Template:Characterbox Template:Q Metalhead (アイアン・ヘッド, Iron Head in Japanese) was a giant robot who was the boss of the Beast Makers Homeworld.

Story

Metalhead was created by Gnasty Gnorc after his search for recruits to destroy Spyro after he froze all the dragons in crystal. He was charged up by the small power poles that were his power supply so that he could move which forced him to stay inside his fortress or else he couldn't charge. Spyro destroyed all of Metalhead's power poles and defeated him.

Boss Battle

Metalhead was encountered in the level, Metalhead. Metalhead fought Spyro in two large chambers that were surrounded by swamp water and filled with pylons that powered him. Metalhead was too large for a charge attack and was made of metal, so a flame attack didn't work. The only way to attack Metalhead was to attack the pylons that supplied him with power.

Metalhead started by shooting rays out of his arm or by throwing ape-like monsters (Armored Banana Boys and Strongarms) at Spyro, and when he did, make sure you're standing in front of one the pylons. Get out of the way before the attack hits you, and the monster/ray would plunge into the pylon and destroy it, Spyro could also destroy the pylons himself by using his charge, unless they were being used at the time in which case Spyro would just be electrocuted. Metalhead had 8 health (pylons) in the first room, and 9 health (pylons) in the second room. Thus, that gave him a total of 17 health in all.

• Gems: 500

• Dragons: 1

Most of the Gems were obvious and were right in front of you as you traveled to the fort entrance and were on the platforms where the Bananaboys and Strongarms were thrown from by Metalhead. At the final, outside "Arena" after you defeated Metalhead, there was a stairway on your left-hand side of the door which you came from which had a key-chest on the top of the staircase, but the key wasn't very easy to find so, go to the start of the level, then go to the Swamp-water river, then press the triangle button to look down then there should be a ledge/platform with a busted gate, jump down and go through the gate, look around, and the key should be around there somewhere, and, after you have found it, then look for a whirlwind (DON'T go up the whirlwind until you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that the key is not there) then you should be able to glide to the Gem-crates on the tower. Afterwards, go back to the final arena where you faced Metalhead and go back up the staircase which I told you about at the start then go and unlock the chest.

If you followed it all, then you should have all gems in the level.
