Here he is!
I wonder how old he is in this photo?
Mr. Chu how long ago was this flashback look at Hammond?
As to why hog isnāt with him, this is in the past, they donāt know one another and hog doesnāt like Junkertown and was living outside the compound
(My hc is he was an enforcer for the previous ruler and refused to be an enforcer for the queen which lead him to being kicked out, or he helped her overthrow the current ruler but he didnt like how she planned to run JT and confronted her.
Hence why he can return but only after giving up his weapons to the guards, also she calls him āMakoā not Roadhog, so thereās definitely a past relationship there)

so she enacted a coup dāetat ?
Is this why hog and Junk donāt respect her?
I think Junkrat doesnāt like her because she is hunting him for his treasure and apparently is pretty cavalier about her enforcers using violence to get info out of him.
Though right now we know the tax rule is solely the Queens rule and itād make sense if Hog was a prior enforcer for her or a past ruler and she brought on the new rules that heād be fed up enough to do something thatād get him in trouble.
Also thereās the whole pay your share rule. Which with Rat we know heās a bit on the greedy side, so that rule along with taxing probably doesnāt endear her rule to him much.
Because the only thing stupider than a freakinā hamster piloting a mech are the people of Junkertown, apparently.

I thought the didnāt respect her because of not liking her taxes (Bruce mentioned something to the effect of taxes or a protection racket going on) and her way of governing, which is pretty standard for any political figure that any individual didnāt/doesnāt support. Even if she was peacefully elected or if that was the standard procedure for choosing leaders they may not have respected her.

Because the pilot never revealed themself? Is that really so hard to imagine, a supergenius hamster being able to keep his identity hidden?
Gasp Plot twist! We didnāt see that coming!

They said noone in junkertown has ever seen the driver of the robotic ball.
Given the fact that junkers hate and distrust omnics, this makes no sense at all.
If they never saw a driver, how can they trust that wrecking ball is not an omnic?
Hammond canāt speak either, so if he uses the robotic voice, junkers will be even more on edge.
What we know:
The robot in question moves and fights while the driver never shows himself, so others donāt know if there is even a driver in that thing.
The robot in question is too small to fit a human in.
The robot in question gets upgraded and fixed somehow, yet noone has ever seen the driver or anyone else fixing it.
The robot in question could very well fake inactivity or whatever when not fighting, itās impossible for the junkers to know if its sentient or not, as they havenāt seen anyone or have any indication of someone controlling it.
The junkers do not know Hammond the hamster exists, since they never saw him, as he hide himself so well.
The Junkers hate and distrust omnics, so they surely wouldnāt trust a robot were a human canāt fit and the driver never shows up.

Wait a second. If the queen became such by winning the championship, how came that hammond isnāt a king then? 
Because itās clearly not an Omnic. It doesnāt resemble any model of any Omnic. And I imagine thereās a life decting sensor or something similar in Junkertown to make sure no Omnics make it through.
Humans can fit in that mech. If you look at the picture, the mech stands taller than JunkerQueen.
She changed the rules to make her a permanent ruler. No one can fight back, because sheās already beaten everyone and the people love her.
But she even gives him a crown.
Like a trophy.
What? It doesnāt resemble any model of any Omnic?
Even if they never seen this model before, Itās a robot moving on its own as far as they can tell.
Remember hammond is so good at hiding himself, they donāt know he exists.
If they had life detecting sensor they would detect a small creature inside, which is clearly way too small to be a human, even for a little person or child, so they would be even more on edge and curious to see this driver.
It just doesnāt make any sense any way you put it.

No, it doesnāt.
You could totally fit someone in there, especially if they were a little smaller. Itās not too far of a stretch. Junkertown isnāt exactly the place where everyone is accounted for. NO one is going to care if the Junkertown Champion doesnāt want to reveal his face.

All of these comments to repeat something I stated 30 comments agoā¦ -.-.
Anyways; Iām also guessing that they did not think it was an omnic. The mech can translate hammonds voice after all so maybe he said heās just a small guy in there. Who knows.
I find it peculiar that in the ow skins, Hammond is portrayed as if he was visible back then, with his own junker āclothesā and hairstyle.

Youāre right! That just leaves me with even more questions!
This whole time, Winston has thought he abandoned his friend on the moon? When Horizon dropped, we couldnāt have gotten something like:
āIām back, Hammond. This time, Iām not leaving without you.ā
Or something on other maps like:
āI canāt believe I abandoned him. What if somethingāsā¦? No, no. As clever as he is, Hammondās gotta be okay!ā
