Steamhammer


 * Steamhammer is a Decepticon.

Steamhammer was a sadistic killer even before the war, when he knew Prowl and Jazz, so when the Decepticon recruiters showed up promising action, excitement, and destruction, he jumped at the chance. Instead, he got stuck pulling guard duty at Fort Scyk in Stanix, the most boring post in the Decepticon army.

Steamhammer is a Triple Changer, transforming from a jet to a tank to a robot. In robot mode, Steamhammer is equipped with a pair of piston hammers driven from his forearms that can smash the ground, knocking over his opponents with deadly shock waves. He also carries a concussion blaster and a particle accelerator cannon. Steamhammer's face is entirely covered by a protective grille.

Steamhammer revels in the violence of the battlefield, taking a sadistic glee in the destruction of defenseless Autobot targets. His passion for battle can prove a liability, however; when enraged, Steamhammer may refuse to retreat even when there are compelling tactical reasons to do so.
