Hard hat


 * Hard hats appear in many stories, but are primarily from the Generation 1 continuity family.



A hard hat is the primary means by which all humans cover their heads. They are either considered highly fashionable, or else required to be worn by international law. Unlike in reality, humans in Transformers continuity not only wear hardhats in typical situations such as oil rigs or ruby crystal mines, but also in a variety of other endeavors such as


 * -robbing a bank
 * -driving a tractor trailer
 * -reading meters at a hydroelectric plant or
 * -designing doomsday weapons.

The versatility of the hardhat in fact seems to be limitless.
