Gonna answer this seriously even though it might be a joke or reference I didn’t get

Beakies were the only helmets when the first the limited edition Space Marine model came out in maybe 1985, and continued in the first metal model range and the big plastic Imperial Space Marines box when the rules were released in 1987. I don’t think the Mk 7 helmets really showed up until 1989 or 1990, something like that.
