''Modified from a 'jack designed to crack rock walls and render stone to powder, the Wroughthammer Rockram pulverizes opposing warjacks with equal ease. The tempered ammunition of its Sledge Cannon wrecks 'jacks from the inside out, and the concussive power of its Pulverizer hammer shakes the very ground beneath its enemies.''

===Theme Forces ===
Within mercenaries, this warjack can be used in:

* {{Hammer Strike}}. It gains [[Reposition]] [3] in this them.
* {{Steelies}}
* {{The Irregulars}}. If it's 'Jack Marshalled, it gains [[Flank]] [Warrior model] in this theme.

Outside of mercenaries, this warjack can be taken by [[Thor Steinhammer]] in a few more themes.

= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Rockram bridges the gap between the Driller and the Avalancher. It has slightly inferior melee capabilities to the Driller, even when using assault, but it’s a lot better than the Avalancher. It’s buckler and knockdown gun is similar to the Avalancher but it’s not as durable.

Like all Rhulic jacks it’s slow and easy to hit but well armoured.

=== Combos & Synergies ===
* Ram on the Sledge Cannon sets up all sorts of possibilities, not the least of which is for the Rockram itself. Assault, hit with the Cannon, push it back an extra inch (and follow up yourself), then finish it off with whack from the Pulverizer.
* [[Gorten]] for Enerizer. With Repo from Hammer Strike it can be 13" away from what it just shot.
* [[Ossrum]] - Energizer and +2 Speed from the feat. Snipe to help with the puny range.

=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* In a world with Drillers, Earthbreakers, and Bashers, it's tough to justify a Rockram. Outside of pure-Rhul mercenaries, the Buccaneer has a better knockdown at less than half the price.
* Drillers have Sustained Attack and do not require knockdown making them better into Steady and Serpentine targets. Gunners and Blasters have accurate shooting and don't need it either.
* It's slow. Even with Assault, it has a piddling threat range.

=== Tricks & Tips===
You don't have to use Ram to advance - this can keep you out of charge range.
