Mettaur
Added by IcysugarspikeA Mettaur, or sometimes Met, is a recurring Mechaniloid enemy from the Mega Man games that has a indestructible hard hat.
The prefix "Met" is derived from the word helmet. They are also called Mettool, Metall, or Mettall. They don't have an official name in English, changing between the three names throughout the games until the name Mettaur is used in all western Mega Man games since 2004. Their official Japanese name is Metall (メットール, Mettōru?), with Mettool and similars being mistranslations. They are unofficially called Hard Hats in some strategy guides. These robots have appeared in all of the Mega Man game series.

In the original Mega Man game, Mettaurs merely stand in one place and shoot at the player. When attacked within close range, they quickly hide under their protective helmets.
In Mega Man 2, the Neo Mettaur was an upgrade of the original model which allowed it to be mobile.
The Mettaur DX in Mega Man 3 acts similar to the Neo Mettaur, but there are some that have retractable propellers in their heads, allowing them to fly.
In Mega Man 5, Jetpac Mettaurs are Mettaurs equipped with jet packs to chase enemies. Because of this, they are unable to shoot or hide into their helmets. In the same game, Train Mettaurs ride locomotives and the Mettaur Cannon is a cannon with a Mettaur operating it.
The Metall Potton, a large gumball machine-like enemy, in Mega Man 6 dispenses two types of Mettaurs, dropping them one by one. Mega Man can move on only after destroying it. It appears in Tomahawk Man's stage and in the final section of Dr. Wily's castle and also makes a cameo in one of the stages in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
The Heli Metall in Mega Man 7 is a Mettaur with a propeller at the top of its helmet, making it airborne. In the same game, the Swim Metall DX is a Mettaur that is able to get around underwater with the ease of a fish. Lastly, the Helmeter comes equipped with a vertical blade on its head.
BossesEdit
Mettaurs mostly appear as relatively harmless enemies, but there are also bosses such as the giant Mettaur in Dr. Wily's castle in Mega Man 4, Metall Daddy.
In Mr. X's castle in Mega Man 6, there is a Mettaur boss operating a tank, named Metonger Z.
Notes Edit
Mets appear in the first three games from the Mega Man Zero series, but they don't appear as normal enemies. They appear as Hacker Cyber-elves.
In Mega Man ZX, there is a giant Mettaur mini-boss named Powmettaur.
