As a rigid believer in absolutes, Hammerstrike has a daunting black and white perception of the world. He fights with conviction, discipline, and a very large hammer. He adheres to his own strict code of ethics, and though is not a violent mech by nature, considers the downfall of the Decepticons to be the only solution to the war, and would solve most of Cybertron's problems. He also deems it his duty to serve and protect those less capable than himself. He wishes to build Cybertron up rather than see it crumble any further down, despite his function before the war being in demolitions fulfilling an integral role as part of a wrecking crew.
