Heroic Hamsters

The Heroic Hamsters are one of the two opposing teams in Total Drama All-Stars. The team logo is a yellow hamster with a halo over its head on a gold background. The team is made up of Mike, Zoey, Cameron, Sam, Courtney, Lindsay and Sierra. However, in Saving Private Leechball, Courtney and Duncan switched teams due to their actions in the episode, and, in Moon Madness, Cameron attempted to quit the game due to Sierra's affections, but instead, Chris placed him on other team.

Total Drama All-Stars
The team was formed Heroes vs. Villains. Based on their participation from the previous seasons, Chris assigned Cameron, Courtney, Lindsay, Mike, Sam, Sierra, and Zoey onto the team. Their first challenge required one person to drive a baby carriage to and from the Cliff, where the remaining members dove into shark-infested waters to retrieve a key. They would then race to the eco-friendly McLean Spa Hotel to test if it opens the door. Courtney pushed Lindsay toward the carriage after the others couldn't decide who to pick. Lindsay soon proved to be a bad choice as she started falling behind the Villainous Vultures. The team was slowed down even more when Sierra jumped into the carriage, despite Courtney being already inside. As a result, Lindsay was so exhausted that Mike had to steer the carriage with a pole. The team gained an advantage when Scott refused to jump, wasting the Villainous Vultures' time. However, their last chance at victory failed when a returning Alejandro retrieved the correct key. The team chose to vote out Lindsay, due to costing them the challenge by steering the carriage poorly.

In Evil Dread, the teams had to assemble a sculpture by finding its part on the beach filled with booby-traps. Zoey helped design a plan that would help the team find all their pieces faster than the Vultures. When the Villains thought they had all their parts, it turned out they were missing one. This opened up the door for the Heroes to complete their sculpture. Just as Heather and Jo found the last piece, so did Zoey. In the end, Zoey launched the final part to their sculpture and landed in place, allowing them to have their first win and a night at the McLean Spa-Hotel. Everyone, except Sam, who said he'd go to exile due to his poor digging skills in the challenge.

The Hamsters, once again, win their second challenge in Saving Private Leechball. During the challenge, the Hamsters had to eliminate all the Vultures from the challenge by shooting them with leeches. Even though the Hamsters had a head start for winning the last challenge, the Villains still managed to get the crate with paintball guns instead of slingshots. With Sam in poor condition from his trip to Boney Island, Courtney and him stayed in a cave to avoid the Vultures. Meanwhile, Zoey, Cameron, and Mike all managed to shoot one of the Villains. At the end of the challenge, Zoey managed to eliminate the last Vulture from the challenge before she could eliminate her, with only Sam, Sierra, and Cameron out for their team. Courtney was deemed unheroic by Chris (as she uses her teammates as pawns as well as using an injured Sam as a human shield during the challenge) and was forced to switch with Duncan, who did a heroic deed (by sacrificing himself to protect his girlfriend) during the challenge. Cameron also was the one to go to exile due to Sierra becoming a little too affectionate towards him.

In Food Fright, the Hamsters warmly welcome Duncan to the team with a party. At the challenge, the Heroes had to eat an entire pancake without throwing it up during an obstacle course before the Vultures finished their pancake. The team was losing to the Vultures until Sam decided to tag Zoey out and he could finish the pancake while Alejandro took Heather's place. Both of them finished the obstacle course, but Sam managed to get out first, making them win for the third time in a row. During elimination though, it was revealed that Sam didn't finish eating the rest of the pancakes, as he stuffed a bit of it in his pockets in case he had to go back to exile. So the Heroes lost and the Vultures would be the real winners. Sam would eventually be the next member of the team getting eliminated because of his actions costing them the challenge.

In Moon Madness, the Hamsters have to make it to the other side of the island before the Vultures while the blue harvest moon tampered with the wildlife and Mike, who transformed into his alternate personality Mal. The two teams manage to come close in winning when the blue harvest moon ended and Mike returned, causing him to lose all memory on how he got to where he was. In the end, all the Vultures made it across before Mike finally realized that he was in a challenge. At elimination, Cameron volunteers for the Flush of Shame due to Sierra constantly thinking he's Cody. Then, Chris reveals that if someone would be voted off, the person would be placed on the other team. So, instead of leaving, Cameron ends up on the Villainous Vultures.

In No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition, the two teams go on an egg hunt. During the challenge, the Vultures were in the lead over the Hamsters to the point of them only needing one more egg to win the challenge. With Heather racing with the final egg for the Vultures, Zoey and Mike are seen carrying an entire nest full of eggs to even out the game. Heather threw the egg in order to win. However, Cameron's clumsy hands cost them the challenge, breaking it before it was returned to the basket. Zoey and Mike then return with the nest, winning the challenge for their team.

In Suckers Punched, the challenge involved everyone facing their worst fears in a boxing match. Zoey was excused from the challenge due to her winning the last one and automatically gave them a point. Duncan and Sierra both managed to lose their match ups, while Mike(Mal) managed to beat Cameron's fear Izzy and won another point. The Vultures, however scored three points first when Courtney and Gwen tied and earned two points for the team. In the end, the Vultures got to vote someone off and they chose Sierra. The Heroes then voted Alejandro to go to Boney Island for exile.

In You Regatta Be Kidding Me Chris announces that the teams will be merging, breaking up the Heroic Hamsters and the Villainous Vultures. This leaves Duncan, Mike, and Zoey as the only members of this team to make it to the merge.
