Invention exists to allow people to work on T2, so the answer to your question is yes.
Alternatively you can try to find one of the rare T2 BPO holders and buy a hammerhead II BPO, but do not expect them to sell it cheap...

You can find a BPC by searching the contracts. BPCs cannot be sold over the regular market, so the only way to get them is to find someone in the Sell Orders forum, in the Blueprints in game channel, or through searching contracts.

You could always rent an inventor and rent a builder. But invention itself is not something that should be done lightly. Between the isk investment there is also the skill investment. And once you start down this path you might as well aim at having a wide array of r&d skills, not just a few for datacore farming, as being diverse allows you to change what you invent to market conditions you predict. So, essentially, you don't like the price you are paying for Hammerhead II's. It is not that they are overpriced, just costly and in great demand. (You only have to look at the details of building some - You'll see.)

Being someone that invents Hammerhead II for prophet the best advice I can give you is to stop loosing them. It's probably not what you wanted, but it's your best option unless you want to got into invention for prophet.
I haven't checked the prices lately (it's a lot cheaper then it used to be), but it should be about 30M isk just to get the skills and items needed to start inventing them. And after that inventing for use rather the selling only has a chance to save you a little money.
A rule of thumb to go by: If it's expensive their's normally a good reason for it.

If you're only planning on saving money by making them yourself, don't bother... you won't save enough to make it interesting. The hammerhead II's are sold slightly above invention and building cost price.
Only good reason for you now would be in case they're hard to find or not sold close to you and you use them a lot. If you make them yourself, it becomes easier to get them.

You can always try to tweak your set up with a small remote armor repairer in a high slot...
This allows for deep space ops also as you can safespot, launch drones, and then repair them at your leisure...
If you have the grid to fit the medium remote, then you can keep it offline and use it as a heat sink so you can overheat more.
