in Legacy they didnt use the same hammer for crafting the sword of omens then the one of plundar guess there goes the thunder hammer made the sword of omens theory
You’re right; I double-checked.
Also fascinating: it looks like the ~evil~ hammer appears to be lion-shaped compared to the simple tool used on the Sword/Gauntlet of Omens. I am delighted with these details.
Anon, I think your observation is perfectly fabulous and a credit to the fandom, so I’m going to award it the official thundersolstice blog title of:

Well spotted, fellow thunderfan!
Also somewhat related sort of:
Bonus headcanon: Bengali trains under Hattanzo, who ultimately enables him to use the 2011 Hammer of Thundera.
You know how Hattanzo/Drifter was hailed as “the greatest sword-maker of all time”? If any character has (or can obtain) a hammer/forge worthy of a title in Lion-O’s Thundera, it’s definitely him! I like to think young Prince Bengali becomes Hattanzo’s apprentice during or after the second season. It’d be a nice callback to Bengali’s skillset in the classic series (although I’d be delighted to see 2011 Bengali get a new journey the way 2011 Pumyra did, too!), and would provide an opening for a nice subplot centered on Hattanzo and/or Bengali and/or the Hammer.
I’ve got like zero canon material to backup the Bengali thing, but it’s not too much of a stretch to lay the Hammer of Thundera at Hattanzo’s feet, I don’t think.
