Explosive shell
Explosive shells (or artillery shells) are perhaps the least hi-tech of the array of shells that the Autobots Warpath and Scattershot have at their disposal. On the Decepticon side, Snarler's rotary cannon also fires explosive shells.
Sometimes Strafe is armed with explosive shell cannons and an explosive shell pistol.
