Hammond is Junkerqueens ultimate. Similar to when Junkrat controls his tire, JQ will instead call him to the field. He will be usable until he dies or after he runs out of ammo.
My speculation anyway.
They’re just having a bit of fun with us right now, hence the no origin story etc.
Agreed. Well, idk how he’ll work but I do agree he’s her ult, not a hero himself. The twitter reveal dubbed him champion, not hero. Wrecking Ball is the Scrapyard champion. He’s her ult, nothing more.
After further thought, maybe he’ll be like a mobile torb turret, following her around and auto aim killing any enemies in range.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
"FIGHT, CHAMPION!" "SQUEEE!"
Who wins?
Yeah I think it’s pretty awesome either way. But you can bet once it’s revealed, the complaints will go from “ffs no jetpack cat but now this??!!#=%” to “ffs i just wanted hammond to be the hero not an ult!!!×%×”
That teaser we just saw looked like a highlight intro. That hamster is the character.
Why do you think this is less ridiculous?
P.S. Would love if he was the hero.
To be honest i dont think he’ll be autoaim helper like torb turret, there would be wayyy too many whiners if there was another autoaim hero in the game
It’s an alright middle ground.
I wanted more animals in Overwatch
Perhaps it’s the end of a highlight intro (if he is her ultimate)…?
Maybe the first 2 seconds is the Queen’s face and she whistles to him before he appears on the screen
It is a highlight intro so I don’t think so.
Like rednax said, could be the end of the highlight intro. In the clip, it seems to unroll and start shooting quite quickly. If it was a highlight intro you’d think they’d show him rolling around for a bit longer
Thats a long intro. That teaser intro seems the right length that all the other heroes had.
Also haven’t the last few heroes on their reveal came out with their highlight intro?
Feel pretty confident this is the hero. You not getting the Junker Queen.
I see a lot of folks are in denial that you could potentially be steam rolled and owned by a hamster in a ball.
Imagine a super intense comp game carried by Hamtaro. 
What’s the average time of a highlight intro? Compare it to it. If it’s the same amount if time then you know it’s the full thing.
It could also be something like Bastions Gandymede HI don’t forget.
All Highlight Intros are 5 seconds - and the action from that clip is 5 seconds… Looks like he’s the real deal.
I seriously hope so.
I will be one of those who will ‘boo’ if we won’t get him as a hero.
We got robbed off Jetpack cat.
This Junker Queen is just fan service and we have Widowmaker already for this.
New champion: Hammond the Hamster!
Lol JK, he’s an ult, it’s actually Junker Queen.
–Sheer disappointment–
I wouldn’t believe they’d put quite a lot of effort to design the mech for him just to be an ult.
Whether we like it or not, he’s bound to be the new Hero.
