Metalbeard is a supporting character in Warner Bros' The Lego Movie franchise and one of the three overarching protagonists (alongside Robin and Frodo) of LEGO Dimensions.
He is a mechanized pirate and Master Builder who wanted revenge on Lord Business for taking his old body.
He was voiced by Nick Offerman, who later voiced Gavin in Ice Age: Collision Course.
Background
The LEGO Movie
A long time ago, MetalBeard and his Master Builder pirate crew infiltrated the Octan Tower. His fellow crew members were taken prisoner for the Think Tank, but MetalBeard tried to free his crew but he was spotted and managed to survive and retreat, though at the cost of being "bricked" by Lord Business (Even though he actually got dogpiled by drones of the Robo SWAT). He was then forced to build a new body from scratch, resulting in his present state.
After that, he was in the meeting of the Master Builders in Cloud Cuckoo Land. He then explains to Emmet about how he got "bricked" by Lord Business, despite coming up "with every conceivable plan imaginable". He soon leaves upon hearing the construction worker has no creative skill, saying he's "leaving on a lost cause."
MetalBeard soon rescues the gang on his Sea Cow when he notices Lord Business' forces overlook the double-decker couch that was the gang's flotation device. Surprised, Metalbeard turns loyal to Emmet's "dumb and bad" ideas with the other Builders. After successfully infiltrating the Octan tower, MetalBeard assisted Benny in getting to the controls that are connected to the Kragle until they end up captured by Lord Business' forces. MetalBeard was seen on top of Benny's spaceship in the battle of Bricksburg.
In the real world, MetalBeard was created by Finn much to "The Man Upstairs"' confusion.
After the battle, MetalBeard gets ice cream and then saw Duplo Aliens.
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part
Picking up the events from the end of the first film, theDUPLO Aliens invaded Bricksburg. MetalBeard was ready to battle alongside the Master Builders, while he accidentally knocked Vitruvius (as a ghost) away. He attempted to defeat them using a laser shooter but failed.
LEGO Dimensions
The game takes place in an alternate timeline where the Duplo Aliens didn't arrive to Bricksburg after the defeat of Lord Business and where Business doesn't redeem himself. Metalbeard is first seen with the other Master Builders where he judges a dance off between Unikitty and Wyldstyle, with him declaring the latter the winner. A rift then opens above Metalbeard and abducts him to Foundation Prime where Lord Vortech plans on using his treasure chest alongside the other foundation elements to achieve his goals of multiversal domination.
Personality
MetalBeard is a somewhat cynical, sarcastic and bitter man, mostly due to his backstory. At first, he dismisses Emmet because of his lack of experience. However, he later comes to save him and his friends after one of Emmet's ideas (the Double Decker Couch) helps them stay afloat in the sea.
He is, altogether, a typical pirate character and uses a lot of phrases associated with pirates.
Trivia
- MetalBeard (then named Neckbeard) was originally going to be Wyldstyle's boyfriend, until they decided Batman would be even crazier. In the original ending (detailed below), Neckbeard, after Wyldstyle went with Emmet, would have tried hitting with Doris or Unikitty.
