Part of the third wave of Takara's Adventure product (their version of the Robots in Disguise series), Bombshell is a redeco of Combiner Wars Bombshell with a black torso and legs that reduces the purple in his color scheme to minor paint details, plus his face is painted silver. He transforms into a robotic interpretation of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle.

His chest has been retooled to include a circular indent for the scannable sticker-badge, which is meant to function with the Transformers Adventure app, unlocking him in your collection checklist.
