Explanation of the conversion: I gave Steamhammer extra swimming since he seemed to be an amphibious vehicle.
History: Many Mini-Cons have migrated to Earth has and live in hiding, but the ongoing battles between the Autobots
and Decepticons have drawn then in. The excilating comflict to Earth has forced the Mini-Cons once to take sides in a
larger conflict.
Thunderblast II, Tankor IV and Steamhammer II of the Air Defense Team hid among the armed forces of Earth so that they
could protect the humans from Razorclaw V, Sky Lynx II and Shockwave II, the Sky Attack Team. Steamhammer II took his
vehicle form because of a deep love of life and order. He believes that war is an unnatural disruption of the organized
advance of culture, and does everything he can to limit combat and defend vulnerable targets. He looks at warfare as a
necessary evil, but one that does only damage to the civilizations that wage it. Despite his own heroism, he never sees
anything but the terrible cost of war at the conclusion of any battle.
Trivia: Steamhammer II shouldn't be confused with the orignal Steamhammer, a Decepticon who turns into a
constructicon vehicle.
Powers: Subject is very strong, brave and thanks to his shoulder-mounted missile launcher possesses good long-range
firepower. He can take the form of a mini-missile truck. In vehicle mode, he can reach speeds of up over 90 mph. He has
above average skill with his missiles. A special targeting scope gives him telescopic vision and accuracy at high range.
Because of his amphibious configuration, Steamhammer II can easily travel over water in vehicle form.
Weaknesses: Steamhammer II is slower than the average Mini-Con and cannot fly. He is reluctant to do combat
in areas that may have large amounts of collateral damage, but will do his best to defend these areas, hoping to draw
fire away from them as quickly as possible.
