Transformers Tech Specs
Of all the Insecticons, Bombshell was the oddest-looking; he was a rhinoceros beetle in insect mode, and in robot mode his head was buried in his shoulders with a big gun balanced over it. But we bought him anyways, because he looked cool. Getting a starring role in every young boy's favorite cartoon will do that for a toy.
The "cerebro-shells" mentioned in his tech spec were used exactly once in the cartoon, just to keep the nitpickers happy, and promptly proven to be ineffective so that we'd never have to worry about them again.
