''Metal Head'' is a 1995 FirstPersonShooter / MechaGame developed by Creator/{{Sega}} for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and UsefulNotes/Sega32X.
Set in a highly-advanced future filled with giant robots, mecha of all sizes forms the backbone of the police and military. You're an ace pilot operating a METAL HEAD - a standard robotic unit used by the police, when a high-tech terrorist syndicate filled with state-of-the-art equipment and machines launches an attack. After a successful ambush which sees the terrorists taking over the city, you arrive as part of the backup, where it's your Metal Head against legions of enemy mecha of assorted sizes.
----
!! METAL HEAD Troopers, the terrorists are all yours! Demolish them and regain the capital!
* ArmCannon: Your mecha have a {{BFG}} installed in it's arm as a default weapon for blowing up enemy tech, and it can be upgraded to fire rockets or blast away at full auto.
* ConstructionVehicleRampage: One stage have terrorists using heavy construction vehicles equipped with wrecking balls to rough you up.
* CoversAlwaysLie: An unintentional example, but some covers and promotional flyers boasts that the game is made for 1 or 2 players, when in actuality it's a single-player game. Sega themselves later confirms that was a typographical error on their part.
* CriticalAnnoyance: If your mecha is down to it's last to health bars, a siren will go off in the background and remain so until you picked up a repair kit or complete the level (of course, finishing a stage with a badly-damaged mecha will grant you a new one in pristine condition by the next level).
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: Every single stage uses the same streets, buildings, fences, skies, literally ''everything'', with some alterations to disguise the recycled assets. The game did try to make some changes in the third mission, reusing the assets while setting the stage at night.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The terrorists have one which is where they construct and launch their robots from; in the second-to-last stage you infiltrate the underground area to take them down for good.
* EnemyDetectingRadar: You have one on the upper-right corner that displays an aerial map of the city as well - justified since you're piloting a robot with radar equipped.
* FragileSpeedster: Terrorist trucks are the fastest enemies around, and tends to drive circles around you while a mook on it's back opens fire. However they blow up in just one hit.
* GatlingGood: The Chain Gun power-up gives your mech an automatic gatling turret with unlimited rounds. And then there's the upgraded variant in the las tstage, the '''Mega''' Chain Gun.
* GrenadeLauncher: One that the game calls "Grenade Cannon", but it otherwise functions as one. It fires an exploding projectile that blows apart most enemies with one hit.
* HeroicMime: Your lieutenant, mechanic, and support team will converse with you either to provide intel, deliver new objectives, or information on upgrades you can apply on your robot. Unfortunately, you don't have any lines for answering.
* AMechByAnyOtherName: The titular "METAL HEAD" refers to the giant robot you're piloting. Note that words like "robots" or "mecha" isn't uttered at any point of the game.
* NightVisionGoggles: The third stage is set at night, and in one area the street lights are out. But your mecha have a built-in night vision mode which activates instantly.
* SpiderTank: A red mecha on spider-legs, one of the less common machines used by the terrorists.
* TankGoodness: One of the bosses of the first stage is a tank which can take far more damage than regular mecha or enemy vehicles.
* TerroristsWithoutACause: The unnamed, high-tech terrorist organization have their own fleet of robots, and they're using them to terrorize the city because... ?
* WeakTurretGun: Some stages have dinky, stationary turrets painted blue, which ''could'' be threatening to human targets. However you're piloting a mecha, and your cannons quickly make quick work of them.
