	Returning to the ''Nemesis'', Hardshell faced Megatron's wrath by failing to produce the Tox-En, but mollified his master by relating the news that Bulkhead had been terminated. Knock Out got on Hardshell's nerves by questioning his claims and stating that his Insecticon partner [[Tunnel Vision\|turned out to be useless]]. As he gloated about his victory to two of his brothers, a few Vehicons got on his nerves when they called him and the Insecticons "pit-loving scavengers and scrap-eaters", resulting in a brawl which made Knock Out want them contained after a minor scratch to the chest. As Knock Out and Hardshell were slowly coming to blows, they received a call from [[Wheeljack (Prime)\|Wheeljack]] a short time later, with the news that Bulkhead wasn't dead after all. Megatron then demanded that Hardshell return with Wheeljack's spark instead.

	The Insecticon found the Wrecker at an energon mine, and the pair clashed, with Hardshell easily avoiding Wheeljack's grenade and eventually dominating the fight to the point where Wheeljack was on the ground, defenseless. As Hardshell stood over him, ready to deliver the killing blow, Hardshell was blasted by a pair of missiles from the [[Miko Nakadai\|Miko]]-piloted ''[[Jackhammer (Prime)\|Jackhammer]]'', killing him for good. Hardshell's corpse was taken back to the ''Nemesis'' by the other Insecticons, who informed Megatron that a human girl was responsible for Hardshell's demise, much to Megatron's confusion. {{storylink\|Hurt}}		The Insecticon found the Wrecker at an energon mine, and the pair clashed, with Hardshell easily avoiding Wheeljack's grenade and eventually dominating the fight to the point where Wheeljack was on the ground, defenseless.

	Among the Insecticons, '''Hardshell''' is among the most ferocious. He doesn't need to prove it through words, as his many battle scars, gained while off-lining many a [[Wrecker]], are ample proof. [[Shockwave (WFC)\|Shockwave]] describes him as preferring to rely on strategy and weaponry instead of his instincts. Hardshell also likes to gloat about those he has destroyed in battle, does not believe in mid-battle banter, and has little patience for those who insult him or his brethren.
