This isn't hero 28. It doesn't follow the standard format for hero introduction.
It is, however, literally Richard Hammond, so I'm cool with that part.
So what's your theory
Junker Queen. She runs the scrapyard arena and Hammond here is the champion of the arena, which is why he's referred to as that instead of hero like all the other OW characters.
He could be part of her kit, or part of an upcoming event or something, but I doubt he's the new hero.
I thought hammond was the monkey ---
If you read this signature, then that meant that I had control of what you read for 5 SECONDS!!
