Talk:Bombshell (G1)
So is he beetle or weevil? --Terrocon Blot 04:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- He's a rhinoceros beetle of some sort. --MCRG 06:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Might wanna make a trivia note then, since sometimes in the cartoon, they made him eat through the tip of his "horn", which is something weevils do.
This once came up on ATT. Bombshell's toy is definitely intended to be a rhinoceros beetle, but...nothing in Transformers shows it arranged appropriately for that. It's always got its "nose" sticking straight out, sometimes being used to eat, and I believe all the official references to his altmode just call him an "insect". I wouldn't be surprised to see that some licensed product called him a weevil at some point, though, and with how stylized his altmode is, it's hard to argue against that. -LV 17:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Do we need a "Bombshell (All Hail Megatron)" page to separate that guy from the Bombshell in Spotlight: Blaster? I'm only half kidding. - Starfield 22:58, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
- Considering that the one in AHM is a fully functional character while the one in Spotlight: Blaster could easily be retconned as a drone prototype of some sort, if either one deserves a separate page it would be the latter. -Cattleprod 23:46, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
- If the Insecticons in AHM are all clones, the bombshell in Spotlight: Blaster may have been the original.
- I say we just note the unresolved oddity on his page here. -Derik 00:07, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
