Hammerstike's nature varies. One known version is male, another known version is female, and another is a male who became female.

Fiction

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

Notes

Another redeco opportunity lost.

• The similarity of Cybershark and Hammerstrike's bios and altmodes was such that, though no official source confirmed or denied if they were the same character, this wiki placed them together on the same page. Then in 2016, they appeared as distinct individuals in the Beast Wars: Uprising continuity.
• 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.
