Metall is an enemy from the original Mega Man. 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, and the Pit of Pits sublevels "Chroma Key?", "da ba dee da ba di", "MEG4KMAN", "Mega Man a - Area 1", "Mega Man a - Area 3", "Spiky Meltdown?", and "To the top". It also appears in the Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 Judge Application Levels Coptar Man and Gate 303.

The Metall β variant is included in the Megamix Engine, and is planned to appear as a devkit enemy in Make a Good Mega Man Level 3 and Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level.

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.
