Hammerhead makes its debut in Twisted Metal, the first game in the series.
Description[]
A MONSTER that crushes its enemies under its giant tires. It handles for crud, but its power is awesome!
When Driving It[]
Move in close to your enemies and CRUSH them under your massive tires.
When Fighting It[]
Stay away from its front end. You'll take massive damage if you get caught under its giant tires.
Special Weapon[]
- Crusher: Smash opponents to a pulp under your giant treads of death! NOTE: Hammerhead's special move occurs automatically if you are within "crushing range" of an enemy and if you have enough Special Weapon energy units left. You do not have to hit the special weapon button to execute this attack.
Trivia[]
- Hammerhead's color in the game is green, but in the lost ending, it's blue. It is unknown why Hammerhead's color changed in the ending.
- 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.
- Hammerhead's license plate (KILRGRN) means "Killer Green".
