The think that really confuses me is the center of the helmet.
If it's not a visor, then what is it? Is the demon color below it some type of kevelar? (Which is a good I dea, you should try that) Anyways, it's all the same looking, try the kevelar thing, and add some type of LED's, anything really

The head looks familiar, you havent posted an older version of it befor have you?
it looks ok, not a fan of massive bevels, makes everything look nooby, imo. fat bevels = fat robot.
dont like the little point at the bottom of the front plate/visor thing, everything else is rounded except for that. just looks like a mistake
the side plates, i dunno, extend too far downwards and look like the side parts want to be extended into wing type shapes. i think you should take a bit more of a gundam wing type approach to the design. (except with better curves)
the lines/angles/shapes in general, i dunno, look like theyr just not quite extreme enough to do the head justice. youve made them all very subtle, when i think, to make them look right, they needed to be a bit more extreme.
but mostly fat bevels
also, i like the plastic look, you could overlay a texture on some parts to give it a carbon fibre type feel if you wanted though.

Perhaps this might help. A while back I was struggling with metal texture. If it was metal it could have been aluminum. Things changed when I realized that metal reflects black ,so the gradients move from dark to light much,much quicker than it would with plastic. This helped me create something a little closer to metal...ok,it didn't look like plastic anymore. 
I hope this helps. I don't really like showing people my short comings,though. :P

Was planning on adding some color to it later but was thinking some kind of orange.

It's platinum where as the other grays are demon and quicksilver. Haven't got to adding other colors yet.

I probably posted an earlier WIP about a year and a half ago.
The point on the bottom was actually intended but now that you mention it, it does look out of place with all the curves.
I did intend the side shapes to be kind of wing like thing. I can try a more extreme design on the next one.
Edit: Cool, thanks for that GuyX
