Fiction
2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon
Once Cybertron's most feared pirate, the Decepticon Hammerstrike was freed from his stasis pod after the Alchemor crashed on Earth. He took to the new planet's waterways intending to turn the sea into something approximating home and attacked the oil tanker, Windward. Bumblebee and Grimlock came to the stricken tanker's aid and were able to fight Hammerstrike off. He instead went to a nearby oil refinery, hoping to use it to achieve his ends, however Bumblebee and Grimlock turned up there too, and despite him putting up a fight, they managed to trap him in an empty oil barrel.

Notes
- The Sharkticons of Robots in Disguise are a naturally-occurring subspecies of Cybertronian like Amphiboids or Buffaloids, in contrast to the Quintesson-controlled subgroup of the same name from The Covenant of Primus and Retribution. They also distinctly resemble G1 Rippersnapper and Overbite.
