Needler (G1)

Needler is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Needler is the green one...

Needler is the mechanoid partner to Bombshell, who uses his pincers and flamethrowers to destroy anything Bombshell doesn't mind-warp first.

Fiction

Dreamwave comics continuity

He's just friendly.

Bombshell used a type of cerebro-shell patterned on Needler. Infestation

This shell probably does not represent Needler him/itself. Needler's connection to cerebro-shell technology (if any) is unknown but can likely be attributed to Dreamwave's rampant use of Easter Eggs.

• Bombshell with Needler (Action Master, 1991)

Needler is a robotic scarab who was only sold with the Action Master version of Bombshell, available only in the European markets. He can plug into Bombshell's back, and pressing a trigger flips his head up and over Bombshell's, forming a battle mask of sorts.
