Met

Met (メットール) is a recurring Mechaniloid enemy from the Mega Man series that has a indestructible hard hat. The word Met is derived from the word helmet. They are also called Mettool, Metall, Mettall, and Mettaur. They don't have an official name in English, changing between the three names through the games, but their Japanese name is the same in all games. They are unofficially called Hard Hats in some strategy guides. The name Mettaur is used in all western Mega Man games since 2004.

These robots have appeared in almost all of the Mega Man game series, except for the Mega Man Legends series. They mostly appear as enemies, but there are also bosses such as the giant Met in Dr. Wily's castle in Mega Man 4, Met King (Mettool Daddy). In Mr. X's castle in Mega Man 6 there is a Met boss operating a tank, named Mettonger Z. In Mega Man ZX, there is a giant Met miniboss, named Powmettaur.
