You're in violation of Midtown City Code 4432! Step out of your vehicle and surrender peacefully! ...Time's up!
~ Warhawk to the player.

Warhawk is a heroic antagonist and the final boss in the 2001 videogame Twisted Metal: Black. Warhawk is a massive police helicopter armed with missiles. Just before the contestant reaches Calypso, he appears and begins the final battle.

History[]

The identity of Warhawk's pilot is unknown, all that is known is that Agent Stone, the driver of Outlaw, knew him. It is also revealed in Needles' storyline that he was the one who captured him and put him in Blackfield Asylum. Despite Warhawk being the final boss, he was not actually part of the tournament and only appeared to put an end to the mayhem.

Personality[]

While it isn't entirely known what kind of man Warhawk is, there are hints at it throughout the game. Chief among them, Agent Stone acknowledges that he is a good cop, a good man in a place full of darkness such as Midtown. Secondly, he has a drive to bring criminals to justice and is skilled in his job, as he was able to capture Sweet Tooth and stop his rampage. Lastly, despite the chaos and carnage that the Twisted Metal contest unleashed, he offers the contestants a chance to surrender peacefully, showing he is capable of mercy and would rather avoid further conflict if possible. That being said, when push comes to shove, he is an extremely fearsome foe.

Trivia[]

  • Warhawk was originally intended to be a playable character and even had pictures for the character select screen, but near the end of development, it was discovered that Warhawk was too powerful for multiplayer and the helicopter controls were just like driving a car except in the air, causing him to be removed from the final version of the game.
    • Eventually, there would be a playable helicopter in the series, Talon.
  • On the Junkyard level, if you ride the vertical car crusher to the top, an emblem to unlock Warhawk's Rooftop for Multiplayer is up there.
  • Warhawk's helicopter looks different from his cutscene counterpart during gameplay.\
    • Warhawk has another graphical inconsistency; His official character profile looks completely different from the character seen ingame. This oversight is shared with various other characters in the game.
  • Its name may be a reference to the 1995 video game WarHawk, a game created by the same people who helped make the Twisted Metal series, that was developed and released right alongside Twisted Metal (1995), and was even a part of the game during early development in where the player would attack drivers in the Warhawk plane. They were eventually separated and codenamed 'Red Mercury' (WarHawk) and 'Firestorm' (TM(1995)).
  • At the hacked vehicle selection screen, Warhawk's front end resembles that of an actual hawk, complete with beak (nose cone) and nostrils (air intakes).
  • Warhawk's personal role in Twisted Metal: Black seems to reflect the role of Carl & Jamie Roberts in previous games, as they are good cops who only want to bring an end to the Twisted Metal Tournament.
