Hardcase

Hardcase is a Decepticon from the Dreamwave portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Ichabod was horror-struck, on perceiving that he was headless.

Hardcase is a Decepticon who joined Starscream's Predacons after the disappearance of Optimus Prime and Megatron in a space bridge accident. He has a tendency to lose his head.

Toys

No toy of Hardcase was ever released. However, he is retroactively based on the unreleased MC-22 Beam Robo toy from the Micro Change line.

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Hardcase, along with Stormbringer and Pulse, were assigned by Starscream to meet two ships loaded with energon at the Moon Alpha spaceport. However, all three were slain by Grimlock and the Lightning Strike Coalition before Starscream and the energon arrived. To add insult to injury, Grimlock hurled Hardcase's severed head at Starscream.

Notes

• Ask Vector Prime, following the retconning of Stormbringer and Pulse to be the same characters as generics based on Diaclone and Micro Change toys that were not released under the Transformers banner, noted that Hardcase looks like MC-22 Beam Robo, an unreleased Micro Change toy that transformed into a flashlight.
