Fictional biography
Little bot, big fight. Despite never throwing a punch in his life, Haymaker has a reputation as a brawler. While he doesn't have the finesse of a skilled warrior, or the skill of a killer like Overslay, heck he doesn't even have fists, however he does have tenacious quality which makes him a danger to all around him, should he decide that someone has (probably inadvertently) slighted him. Often pretends to trip over his small feet while running, just so he has an excuse to eviscerate anyone who laughs at him.
Comics
Haymaker appears in the Citizen Stack pack-in comic story I Can Deal With This Now!. Citizen Stack and Krank free Haymaker and others from the Sky Pirates prison.[3]
