- Hammer is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Fiction
2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon
- Voice actor: Carlos Alazraqui (English)
Hammer was part of the group of Decepticons led by Scorponok and Glowstrike. He and Anvil were teamed up with Bisk and sent to obtain sound boards from the Rumbledome, which was hosting a Rear Axle concert. The two were sent on watch-bot duty by Bisk, but didn't do a terribly good job, as the Autobots' human ally Russell accidentally walked right into the storage room they were ransacking. When Russell knocked over a box of cymbals, the pair of Mini-Cons quickly pounced on and brought the source of the noise to Bisk... that is, they brought the cymbals to him, having missed Russell completely. Hammer then took an interest in one sound board's wiring, earning him a quick zap from the exposed electricals, and a quick threat from Bisk. In response to more Russell-caused noise, the two Mini-Cons started shooting up the place, and an irritated Bisk ordered them to guard the door. Russell escaped via the service elevator, and the trio moved on...
The Mini-Cons accompanied Bisk on-stage, the Decepticon posing as part of the show's "epic space battle" costume and effects extravaganza, aiming to take the remaining sound board from the on-floor sound booth. Bumblebee got in the way, and Bisk took the chance to sic the Mini-Cons on the momentarily star-struck Autobot. However, Bee quickly grabbed the two Mini-Cons, bashed them together, and tossed them into a gigantic speaker stack, shorting them out and knocking them offline. Once Bisk too was taken out of commission, the three were stuffed into a crate for transport and incarceration back at the scrapyard. Bumblebee's Night Off

Toys
Robots in Disguise (2015)
- Decepticon Hammer (Mini-Con, 2016)
- Accessories: Armor sprue
- Hammer transforms from a small dragony-bird-like robot into a sphere in a single step. As a Cyclone-style Mini-Con, he can attach to and launch from Deployers Overload and Crazybolt, and also works with Fracture, though he is not designed to. He comes with a number of clear plastic accessories attached to a Decepticon-insignia-shaped sprue, which can be attached using the corresponding tabs and slots on his body.
- Mini-Con 4-Pack (2016)
- Accessories: Armor sprue
- Packaged with redecoes of Anvil, Scorch Strike Undertone, and Weaponizer Slipstream, Hammer is a redeco of his single-packed toy in his red and blue show colors. He includes a redeco of the same clear plastic accessories. The Robots in Disguise mobile game labels this figure as "Stealth Hammer", though this descriptor is nowhere to be found on the 4-Pack's packaging.
- Crazybolt & Decepticon Hammer (Mini-Con Deployer, 2015)
- Accessories: Armor sprue
- Another redeco of Hammer in red and white is included with the Mini-Con Deployer Crazybolt figure. He again retains the same armor sprue as his original figure. The Robots in Disguise mobile game labels this figure as "Scorch Hammer", though this descriptor is nowhere to be found on the set's packaging.
Notes
- Though Hammer's toy gives him only two birdlike legs, his show model gives him four legs, making him more of a dragonoid than an avian in design.
