What hammer skin is this?
That’s the Fix R Upper which is the ascended unlock you can get from completing achievements for the scrapper
Likely an older version of the Scrapper’s ascended hammer that doesn’t exist anymore

This. The hammer is shown as the icon of fix-r-upper. I think they changed the skin as they decided to scrap the old scrapper concept and gave him a electric theme instead. The new fix-r-upper just fits more for electric attacks.
But I hope they will implement the old version some day too. It looks really well and I would like to have it.

I really have to wonder why they shelved the Forge concept so late in development.

Based on the old hammer strings that were added way back, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the mechanic was moved to druid and F-Gyro was cobbled together at the last minute. They suggest the spec revolved around building heat with hammer skills that fueled gyros. Would fit the name “Forge” and explain why they were both added so late.

I have been wondering this for the longest time. I feel like if the Gyros functioned like the Herald’s glint utilities or like the druid’s celestial mechanic it would have made a lot more sense to say the Gyros had a fuel mechanic. The cooldowns and duration of existence is not a fuel mechanic. They could have actually added a REAL mechanic to scrapper, instead we get the function gyro which is only useful in pvp (I can never get the bloody thing to rez people, only stomp people).
As for the skin it totally doesn’t exist (yet).
Love the Fix-R-Upper skin though. Its so big.
Also other note: Why does the scrapper helm look so absurdly cartoon-y on like all the races except human and sylvari?

I really don’t know where the whole “hammer skills builds fuel” idea came from. It simply wouldn’t work, because it would require you to exclusively use the hammer in order to use gyros. No elite spec is outright required to use a single weapon in order to function (some would argue Druid / Staff, but while staff does compliment Druid nicely, it isn’t actually required, and certainly not for utilities), and it would be a poor design choice to do so. Restricting all scrappers who wanted to run Gyro utilities to need Hammer as well would be greatly reducing options.
I don’t remember any mention of fuel in the old datamined stuff anyway. I recall a mechanic where auto-attacks would build up heat and eventually cause an explosion, but how that = fuel I don’t know.
anet said engi would use fuel to power the gyros. i am sure its from an interview or something
