Amy's Hammer

The piko hammer, also called Amy's Hammer or the Basic Hammer, is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is the main weapon of Amy Rose and her most precious possession.

Appearance
The piko hammer mostly resembles a giant double-faced, metallic sledgehammer or mallet. It has a dark pink head and thick yellow faces with a dark pink disk on the middle of each one. It also has a long grey handle with brown leather wrapped around the grip.

Features and traits
Despite its innocent appearance, the piko hammer is a very powerful, yet sharp melee weapon with the perfect balance of function and design. Capable of dealing massive amounts of damage with seemingly no excessive effort, it can effortlessly smash through rocks, metal and tri-polymer armor with a single strike, yet is graceful enough for swift and fluid movements. It can as well be "charged" for additional power, which is signified by the pink disks on the faces glowing. It is also immensely durable, being able to withstand and deflect plasma-based projectiles.

Mixed with Amy's abilities, the piko hammer can be used for extensive applications besides combat. When pulling off acrobatic movements, Amy uses the piko hammer as an extension of her limbs, allowing for more complex combat movements. Amy can also use it as a hook to swing on bars for acrobatic feats and as a projectile weapon with amazing accuracy.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Amy would put her piko hammer to good use when working to stop Lyric the Last Ancient's plans to destroy the world, using it to combat the foes Team Sonic met along the way and traverse distant lands.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Amy drew her piko hammer when she was attacked by Lyric the Last Ancient. Shortly into the fight though, Lyric knocked the piko hammer away before placing a Mind Control Device on Amy.

TV series
The piko hammer has been used by Amy in countless battles against Dr. Eggman and his robot legions, as well as other foes too. Despite using it toughly, Amy would take good care of it. Occasionally, the other members of Team Sonic would help themselves to the piko hammer.

During a one-on-one fight between Amy and Eggman, the piko hammer was stolen by the doctor for a weapon to be used against Sonic. However, Amy took it back when the weapon was deployed.

Archie Comics
According to Amy, the piko hammer was a gift from the fates, which she would go on to wield into countless battles against Dr. Eggman and his robot legions.

During Team Sonic's second battle with the Big Boy, the piko hammer got stuck inside the mech when it retreated. The loss of her hammer sent Amy into a deep depression over losing what was an essential part to her. The piko hammer was soon found by Orbot and Cubot who fought over ownership of it, setting in motion a chain of events that destroyed the Big Boy and flung the piko hammer into Sonic's hands on Seaside Island, who then returned it to Amy.
