Metall is an enemy from Mega Man 1. It is the first of the "Met" (or Metall, or Metool, or Mettaur, or Hard Hat, or... really, a lot of English names) series of robots, and notably lacks feet, and therefore can't move. This iteration reappeared in Mega Man 9 as the functionally and (save for a shine on its helmet) physically identical Metall β; as such, this article covers both variants.
Metall was first made available in the devkit for the original Make a Good Mega Man Level contest, where it appeared in the entries City War, Chroma Key, and Napalm Forest and Caves. It returned in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, where it appeared in the entries The Fall, Rush City, and Lava Factory, and is one of Dennis's forms in Launch Man & Shuttle Man. It also appears in the Wily stage Reality Core. It also appears in the Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 Judge Application Levels Coptar Man and Gate 303.
Behavior
Metall hides inside an impermeable helmet, only emerging to shoot a triple shot at Mega Man when he gets close. There is a small delay between it opening and it firing, giving Mega Man ample time to destroy it before it can get its attack off. Alternatively, a few weapons such as the Black Hole Bomb are able to bypass the helmet's protection.
