	The '''''Hammer''''' is a [['Mech]] that was built to provide fire support for [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mechs and to serve as a direct counter to the ''[[Valkyrie]]'' commonly used by the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. Built around a long-range arsenal that can provide both direct and indirect fire support, it is also often paired with the ''[[Anvil]]'', using its missiles to soften up the enemy at a distance until the ''Anvil'' can bring its lasers to bear.

These launchers are supplied with one ton of ammo each, and both are augmented with an [[Artemis IV]] fire control system for greater accuracy. For close combat the 'Mech carries three [[Medium Laser#Martell|Martell]] [[medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRO3055U216-17/> ==Variants== *; HMR-3C : Called the ''Claw-Hammer'', the 3C is built to make the ''Hammer'' capable of better defending itself when an enemy closes on the battlefield. This is done by removing one of the [[LRM-5]] launchers and replacing it with four additional [[medium laser]]s, which gives the ''Hammer'' the ability to attack the enemy with an overwhelming laser barrage at close ranges. This variant also works well as a bodyguard 'Mech in a lance of ''Hammer'' 'Mechs.

The entire arsenal has been removed from the 'Mech and replaced with a short-range assortment of weapons making it an excellent brawler. The primary weapons are a pair of [[Streak SRM-4]] launchers, backed up by two [[ER medium laser]]s and two [[small pulse laser]]s which provide the 'Mech with excellent close range protection.
