What happens

Project Metalbeast, also known as Project Metalbeast: DNA Overload in the United States and Metalbeast in the United Kingdom, is a 1995 science fiction horror film directed by Alessandro De Gaetano and filmed in the United States. In this movie, a group of scientists attempt to create a perfect soldier by injecting the subject with the blood of a werewolf.

The only member of the original team to survive is a Colonel, who gives the victim a synthetic skin to create a metal-skinned killing machine. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
