Steamhammer (Energon)

The name or term "Steamhammer" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Steamhammer (disambiguation).

Steamhammer is a Decepticon combiner from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Steamhammer has the physique to be a dull-witted legbreaker, and to be sure, he's very good in a fight. With his powerful fist and his mighty shovel arm, he is a deadly pugilist, and only the stronger Autobots like Landmine can really oppose him properly. Stoic and not given to mercy, he could run over a harmless petrorabbit without hesitation. When combined with his Construction Team into the mighty Constructicon Maximus, he is dangerous indeed.

Brute strength, however, does not win wars alone. Steamhammer is no Perceptor, but he is a skilled communications specialist and code breaker, and this is his preferred occupation: jamming transmissions, intercepting messages, and ensuring that his side's information is good, and the other side's is not. One must wonder, however, how he operates radio equipment and computer terminals with a shovel for a hand --

Trivia

• Steamhammer got his name indirectly from Generation 1 Steamhammer, by way of an abandoned OTFCC04 exclusive. At one point in time, the Railracer trains were offered to 3H as a possible set of exclusives. Due to a suggestion from Graham Weaver, one of them was planned to be named after the original Steamhammer, as it was a trainy kind of name. (Another of the three trains would be Astrotrain and the third was never decided on, though "Loco" or "Cowcatcher" was favored.) Hasbro changed their minds on the molds' availability, but they later used the "Steamhammer" name themselves, as they did similarly with "Vector Prime."

• Despite being bright green and purple, Steamhammer is, by definition, not neon, and therefore does not suck donkeybot manifolds..
