| The name or term "Hammerstrike" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Hammerstrike (disambiguation). |
- Hammerstrike is a Maximal from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Hammerstrike is not known for his smarts, but he is known for his insatiable desire for combat! He's the best there is at what he does, which is destroy Vehicons in devastating "frenzy" assaults. He knows no fear and feels no pain.[1]
Hammerstike's gender varies; he is male in some universes and female in others, and one version has been known to be both.
Fiction
3H comics
Hammerstrike took part in the battle against the Quintesson forces one week after the reformatting of Cybertron into a technorganic world. Wreckers: Finale Part II
TransTech
Hammerstrike was one of many offworlders in Axiom Nexus, falling in with Alpha Trion, who mistakenly assessed him to be just another malcontent amenable to his cause. Trion had Hammerstrike's spark swapped into the chassis of his female TransTech counterpart, and Hammerstrike thus assumed her counterpart's job in the Axiom Nexus capitol. However when Hammerstrike questioned the morality of her orders, Alpha Trion abandoned Hammerstrike to her job which she found frustratingly difficult to do.
While the Shroud began falling upon the multiverse, Hammerstrike was the courier for a message from Minister of Higher Dimensional Sciences Rhinox to Intelligence Directorate Starscream. She subsequently hacked a broadcast by her celebrity idol Rook to share the information which she had come upon: the Uniend Cluster had dropped off the TransTechs' scanners as well. Unfortunately, Rook spoke her name out loud on the broadcast, alerting security to Hammerstrike's position. Rook - Axiom Nexus News, 2015/10/20
Beast Wars: Uprising
Hammerstrike was an enforcer for Cryotek and his Minions of Unicron. Cryotek lost a great deal of territory and influence to Megatron's Darksyders over the years, but he finally pinpointed the upstart's base of operations. Hammerstrike joined her leader in infiltrating the Builder mansion, only to find Megatron was waiting for them. The trap was sprung with a series of Dropkick drones disguised as statues, and Cryotek's enforcers were quickly wiped out. Not All Megatrons
Toys

Notes

- While Hammerstrike himself does not appear in 3H's Universe comics, Sharkticons based on Hammerstrike's design appear alongside the traditional Quintesson Sharkticon designs from Generation 1 on New Quintessa. However, these drones were miscolored as Hammerstrike in the initial printing of "Betrayal"; the "director's cut" reprint fixes this, giving them a black and purple color scheme.
- Hammerstrike's Beast Machines bio shares similarities to Cybershark's Beast Wars bio, implying that the two are the same character. Subsequent fiction has not taken this as the case.
