Hammerhead is one of the vehicles introduced in the original Twisted Metal. 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 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.

Catfish and Hammerhead
CodyBandicootAdded by CodyBandicoot

Hammerhead is operated by Catfish. Here he enters the tournament to claim a human trophy. To unlock him, you have to beat the Sky Track mini-game (in Tokyo Rooftops) by coming in first place.

Character Bio

Name: Catfish

Tale of the Tape: Age: 47 -- Height: 6' 1" -- Weight: 175

Backstory: Catfish, a man who prides himself as the mighty hunter, decided to modify his favorite rig to compete in this year's Twisted Metal, because after all, it's just another form of hunting, though it's done vehicular style. Catfish's illustrious, and often illegal, hunting obsession has resulted in the collection of the head of every type of big-game creature he's been able to claim to proudly hang in his trophy room. Now, Catfish's ultimate dream is to hunt the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom--the human--in an all-out, man-versus-man struggle for the survival of the fittest in the raw wilderness.

Vehicle

Name: Hammerhead

Special Weapon: Ram Attack -  Leaps into the air and crushes cars underneath its wheels. It will only work if there's a blue rectangle around the car when near other vehicles.

Twisted Metal (2012)

In this installment Hammerhead appears in Sunsprings, California as the final boss in Sweet Tooth's campaign (The Brothers Grimm), along with Slayer. They look identical, but have different colors - Hammerhead is red and Slayer is yellow.

Endings

Twisted Metal: Small Brawl

In his ending Calypso, instead of making him a rock star, turns him into a teen pop-star.

Twisted Metal: Head-On

Catfish was happy to win and is ready to claim the last animal, the human. Even though he killed people throughout the tournament, he wanted to hunt them like an actual hunter:

"I want one on one. Hiding in the bush. Just you and your best rifle against some real mean son of a gun! Some...soon to be hanging in you hallway animal!"

We later see Catfish hunting in the forest, spying a shadowy image of a person. When he shot at it, he found out it was a decoy and that the hunter WAS THE HUNTED! He gets blasted by Calypso's rifle and his head was hung on the mantle, along with his rifle and knife.

Trivia

  • In the original Twisted Metal, Hammerhead's color in the game in green, but in his lost ending, he is blue. Hammerhead could have possibly been colored blue in the beta because of this.
  • 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 original name in the twisted metal 2 beta was Deadhead.
