Egg Hammer (IDW)

The Egg Hammer is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a mass-produced model of Super Badniks created by Dr. Eggman, and a tougher variant of the standard Egg Pawn model.

Appearance
The standard Egg Hammer looks similar to the Egg Pawn, but is about three times larger and much heavier. They possess purple armor and a round torso with a black lower half and a thick collar around their neck. They also have two red bolts on their underbelly and large cup-shaped shoulders with round red spikes (similar to knobs). They also possess large hands and feet, yet thin and gray upper arms and thighs, with red bands around their ankles and wrists, and purple armor around their forearms and lower legs. Their hands are mainly purple with gray fingers and their feet are shoe-like and purple with black soles. Lastly, they have dome-shaped heads with menacing light green eyes, sharp red noses, and pointy teeth.

Past
After Sonic the Hedgehog thwarted Dr. Eggman in their last encounter, the Doctor disappeared while his Egg Hammers and the rest of his Badnik army remained. Without a leader however, the Egg Hammers were directionless and no longer a unified threat, with any attack from them being more accidental than aggression-based.

Fallout
Eventually, the Egg Hammers came under the control of an unknown villain, who made them and their fellow Badniks more cohesive. Soon after, the Egg Hammers and some other Badniks launched an attack on a small town. When Sonic arrived to stop the attack, he encountered an Egg Hammer that lured him into an ambushed where he faced three more Egg Hammers. Tails winded up saving Sonic from them though, and the two teamed up and took down three of the Egg Hammers. Now on the losing end of the battle, the last Egg Hammer tried escaping the town with the remainder of its Badnik troop. However, it was quickly defeated by Sonic while Tails took care of the remaining Badniks.

Personality
Basically, the Egg Hammers are mindless and silent drones programmed to follow their leader's every command. As such, when left without a leader to follow, they become directionless and only able to cause harm by accident. Under a guiding force however, they are cold and merciless machines who carry out their commands without question.

Powers and abilities
The Egg Hammers possess immense strength, enough to carry and swing around their large hammers with ease. They are as well well-versed in the usage of hammers, as they know how to use them for both offense and defense. As noted by Sonic, the Egg Hammers can also be pretty fast despite their size.

Weapons
Each Egg Hammer carries a large purple and gray hammer with spikes. They mainly use them for basic melee combat, but they can also use them defensively by using their handles to block attacks. Their hammers themselves are quite durable, being able to block a Spin Attack without receiving a scratch, although a Rolling Combo can easily snap them in half.
