The Hammer, based on the Army's now-famous Humvee all-terrain vehicle, is basically an enhanced, heavily armed, tan version of that vehicle. The Hammer first saw use on the Joe team in 1990, and stayed in service for several years after that. It possesses the following vehicular capabilities:

Armored Construction: the Hammer is built with a hardened, solid steel frame, a shrapnel-resistant passenger cover, and all-terrain, self-sealing tires; in other words, it's rather durable. This gives the Hammer an effective material strength of 12, and offers its occupants +2 protection from attacks.

As long as they originate from the front or rear; side-oriented attacks bypass this defense.

Communications Array: equipped with a powerful U.H.F. / V.H.F. / C.C.T.V. radio transceiver, the Hammer also has a rather potent whip antenna, allowing it a total communications range of 250 miles (intensity 6 range), and has a quasi-random frequency hopper to allow for intensity 8 comm encryption.

Guided Missiles: on the back of the Hammer are two separate, multi-directional missile pods with three rounds in each. These rear-mounted launchers can be fired from within the Hammer or from the back if necessary. These heat-seeking projectiles inflict intensity 10 damage to whatever they hit.

In addition to anything else within striking (near missile) range of where they detonate.

High Impact Pulse Cannon: the primary armament on the Hammer, this top-mounted cannon rests on a computer controlled rotational turret with a 360 degree range. This cannon can fire a burst of ammunition that is capable of inflicting +8 damage per deadly blast.

Lightning Speed: being rather fast for its weight, the Hammer has this vehicular 'power' after a fashion. Capable of moving at up to 83 miles per hour, the Hammer has this ability at intensity 6, though in off-road conditions it may move considerably slower.

Passengers: the Hammer ideally has room for a driver, a gunner, and two passengers. However, it has two side skids that can hold four extra folks in a pinch - two on the side-mounted guns - and rear skids that can carry two additional hangers-on on the back, making for a ten passenger maximum.

Quartz-Halogen Lamps: these twin lamps, mounted on front of the Hammer, are powerful light casting implements capable of producing intensity 10 illumination. This helps to deal with night conditions, and can provide an improvised blinding attack under certain (surprise) conditions.

Storage Compartment: finally, the Hammer has a rather large storage capacity in the back. The Hammer itself has over a 2,000 pound load limit, allowing it to carry the driver, gunner, two passengers in the back seat, and up to six additional hangers-on, meaning that at least 500 lbs of gear can be held here.

More, if less than ten folks are in/on the Hammer.

Twin-Barreled Side Guns: on each side of the Hammer are two swivel-mount, twin barreled guns that can be used as back-up for the vehicle's main gun. These can be fired to inflict damage per a +6 weapon in a short burst, +7 in a continuous stream of lead.
