Hammerhead TMHO

Hammerhead as it appears in TM:H-O

Hammerhead is one of the vehicles introduced in Twisted Metal (1995). It appears in every Twisted Metal game, except for Twisted Metal 4 and Twisted Metal: Black. Hammerhead also appears in Twisted Metal (2012), albeit as a non-playable boss vehicle.

Hammerhead has always been a monster truck and distinctively has been driven by different contestants in every appearance it has made.

Hammerhead's Special Weapon always involved crushing opponents using its giant wheels.

Trivia

General

  • Hammerhead, along with Spectre, has always had a different driver in every game.
  • Hammerhead was scheduled to be in Twisted Metal: Harbor City, but no special weapon was developed for the vehicle. It was given a solid green paint job to resemble the original design from TM1. After Harbor City's cancellation Hammerhead's solid design was kept for Twisted Metal: Head-On, except the paint color was changed to a rusted blue.

Twisted Metal (1995)

  • Hammerhead's color in the game is green, but in the lost ending, it's blue. Hammerhead could have possibly been colored blue in the beta because of this. It is unknown why Hammerhead's color changed.
  • Hammerhead, having two drivers in the first game, was the first vehicle to introduce a concept of having two drivers in a vehicle instead of one. This concept was later applied to Twisted Metal (2012), although the passengers acted as gunners.

Twisted Metal 2

  • Hammerhead's original name in the Twisted Metal 2 beta was Deadhead.
    • In a later beta version of Twisted Metal 2, Hammerhead was renamed to Hammer Head.

Twisted Metal 4

  • On Create Car mode, it is possible to create a monster truck and name it Hammerhead. However, you cannot give it it's signature Special Weapon.
  • Hammerhead was originally going to be in the game and and was simply named Monster Truck.

Twisted Metal: Head-On

  • Hammerhead's ending may be a reference to Mr. Grimm's ending in TM(1995), as they both wanted Calypso (yet Catfish failed to capture him, Mr. Grimm took him without a problem).
  • There is a glitch that involves Hammerhead's Special Weapon. If activated at a precise distance, one of two events will happen: 1. Hammerhead disappears and reappears with the game treating it like the player had fallen into water or a pit. 2. The screen will go blank showing only the HUD and nothing else. You will have to quit if the latter happens.
