In a chase he had an accident and lost his helmet and almost his head. He was rebuilted in the same machine that they use on Darth Vader, I think. Now he has a infra-red eye and a very bad humor.
Agreed on the head, that's freaky. Does it come from a Borg toy or something?
And as for the rod, yeah, it looks like an RC aerial. Maybe he's been reformatted into a police dodgem? Either way, it's gonna make it tricky to pursue anyone under low bridges..!
Thanks for your comments. All the extra pieces come from a cheap chinese figure. The RC aerial was originally a flag. I modded the head so it fits and repainted it. Now he can turn his and look up and down.
