| This article is about the Prime Insecticon. For the Generation 1 Insecticon who is sometimes known as Hardshell, see Bombshell (G1). |
- Hardshell is a Decepticon Insecticon from the Aligned continuity family.
Among the Insecticons, Hardshell is one of 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. He also likes to gloat about those he has destroyed in battle and has little patience for those who insult him or his brethren.
Fiction
Prime cartoon
- Voice actor: David Kaye (English)
Hardshell and his brothers found their way to Earth and locked themselves in stasis later to be discovered by Airachnid. Crossfire The Insecticons were temporarily controlled by Airachnid but declared their allegiance to Megatron and joined the crew of the Nemesis. Armada Hardshell and his brethren were forced into stasis lock when the Nemesis became sentient and zapped the whole crew complement in stasis. Flying Mind
When Megatron called for the most ferocious Insecticon, Hardshell put his name forward, and was sent with three other Insecticons to a volcanic region near the equator to search for an Iacon relic. He encountered Bulkhead and fought the Wrecker, but came off second best and lost a mandible into the deal. After recovering, he and his Insecticon companions found the relic containing a small amount of Tox-En, an energon variant. They attempted to track Bulkhead, who had taken most of the Tox-En, and after following a false trail the Autobot had left, eventually caught up with him in a volcano's crater. Though Bulkhead was weakened by the Tox-En, he managed to expose Hardshell to enough Tox-En to severely weaken him. The Autobot hurled the Tox-En at Hardshell, knocking him into a volcanic vent. While the Tox-En was destroyed, Hardshell survived and blasted Bulkhead in the back as he stepped through the GroundBridge. Toxicity
