ModelEdit

Zoids (1983)Edit

The Hammerock was released in Japan as part of the Zoids (1983) line. It was introduced in 1986.

The Hammerock comes on four frames along with a small wind-up motor, a separate head piece, a clear canopy, two sprues of six rubber caps each, a small silver-chrome pilot and label sheets. The Hammer Rock is molded in maroon and silver with a red canopy. The head was shared with several other Imperial Zoids, including the Malder and Molga.

The Zoid uses a simple wind-up motor for its motion; once wound, the Zoid walks forwards at a reasonable pace. The Zoid's head, chest armor, shoulder and back weapons can all be manually positioned, and the canopy opened.

A gold-chromed Hammerock was released by Tomy as a contest prize. It is one of the sole official chromes from the 1983 line.

Spider-Man and ZoidsEdit

The kit was issued in Europe as part of the Spider-Man and Zoids line. It bore the name Zore. It is grey and black, with an orange canopy. It is part of the blue Zoid faction.

Zoids (1999)Edit

It was issued as part of the Zoids (1999) line. The CP-26 could be attached to add to the Hammerock's offensive capabilities. Its colour scheme features a dark body and light arms.

A heavily customized version was done by Dengeki Hobby Magazine accompanied by a customized Blade Hawk which it could also combine with.
