EPIC IDEA
You've seen all of those movies where you get people of a battle field and swinging swords etc? Well how about spiral knights puts in hammers?! You've seen all those war hammers right?
You could have it look exactly like a old style war hammer and have a slight glow (godly), it could have the normal effects of a Brandish (basic swinging) but then the charge attack could be a massive swing forward, like a troika...
You could also infuse the war hammers with special elemental abilities where you have like a set of explosions in front of it or a really really big one where you hit!
Think about it...

It's nice, but...
It's nice, but...
There are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.
1: The main design of the weapon. Sure, you said 'make it look like old warhammers'. There are hundreds of designs for warhammers in the world. Please specify.
2: The charge attack. It's way to overpowered to begin with. You can't make a large explosion where you smack the hammer because it would be too easy to proceed with the game.
3: The attack in general. It needs to be original. Something similar to how the Beast Basher weapon swings, then make it a bit slower or have your character slowly spin it in a circle once or twice.
4: Godlike weapons are a NO GO. There are too many weapons in the game that seem godly already. The Calibur series, and the Fang of Vog are such examples. (When I say godlike, I mean that they glow or seem like they are passed down to Chosen Ones)
5: Finally, the evolutionary chain. What elements would go into it? Can't use all of the in-game elements because that would be alot of development for the weapons. More work means more time to wait for the weapons.

Consider this
How about:
A proper hammer one that looks like a big rectangular stone on top of a stick, and the stone is engraved with a marking or pattern.
The charge attack: A big swing forward like with the trokia, but when you swing it forward you just hit everyone in the hammers way. Or, you could have a gremlin style attack where you THROW the hammer and it comes back to you...
The attack in general, should be a bit like the beast Basher, except that it would be with a different weapon, and perhaps inflict stun on the last hit? I DO NOT agree with putting a spin in a circle AT ALL. It would completely ruin the effect of the weapon being efficient and awesome. Perhaps a bit slower but on the last hit faster? I dunno what do you think?
So, no godlike weapons, then we stick with an ingraving...
The evolutionary chain, at around 3 stars you could begin to make it either ice or fire. when swung down the hammer would inflict elemental damage and have a chance to freeze or burn! Or if you use the gremlin idea, you could have it hit someone and inflict the damage. An interesting idea would be to have the hammer stone (if ice) be dark like the calibur and then have bright white cracks in it (only at 3stars plus) same goes for the fire type.
Finally it would be epic to have a 2 star hammer to start it off called the deconstructor, how cool would that be?

@Epotech:
There's already a bomb called a Deconstructor.
The impression I get when I read this thread: is this.
Seems very godlike..lol

Just to add on
Perhaps the top stone of the hammer could look a bit like the Sudaruska. IT LOOKS EPIC

SO what?!
So what if it's slightly God like? maybe we can just make it engraved. Yes I know no glowing...

another warlike weapon
your idea was great, but i think it would also be great if you add all of your ideas into a long range two handed spear the charge attack could be like a cutter and the normal attack like a spur.

Perhaps
I think we're running on two ideas here, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HAMMER AND A SPEAR! and how would your knight use the shield?
Thought of that?
Epotech
By the way, lets try working on both ideas, sounds cool!

The Two ideas
These could change spiral knights...
First of all the hammer idea- its fast, epic and a bit like the trokia, but AMAZING at hammering minions and knocking some bolts out of the gun puppies (NOT MY PICTURE).
The spear idea, how about a full on stabbing spree? A massive golden spear that when u use it you thrust it forward. And the charge attack could be increased speed and a massive leap forward, damaging and knocking enemies out of the way!
Seriously
We are ONTO something here.

Epotech, you're basically repeating youself a little. If you can't get more ideas or more specifics with the original, I say wait and try to formulate more in-depth processes of your weapon ideas...

Just let them make Twack
Just let them make Twack Hammer upgradeable up to 5*.
Anyway I suppose there's a chance for new hammer with the release of Operation: Crimson Hammer.

@Merethif:
No weapon needs to go from 1* to 5*...unless you make it weak enough that people with CTR/ASI MAX 100% of the time won't make much difference, if you catch my drift.

@Merethif
There was already a very interesting gremlin weaponry thread a good while back.

This would be it.
With the soon to-be-included ROCKET HAMMERS, perhaps the Thwack Hammer line could be upgraded to a 2 star line, and eventually change into such a weapon?
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK AT THE IDEA?!
