There's 2/3. I certainly hope we will get a Shrapnel to go along with Bombshell and Kickback.
C'mon Hasbro, please make this into a toy (and Shrapnel too).
Weird request here. If anyone has an extra Classics Skywarp or Dirge missile please PM me. I need one.

Hasbro lost the trademark to "Bombshell" and "Shrapnel" prior to 2008. The TRU Universe rerelease renamed them Hardshell and Sharpshot respectively.

I'm actually a much bigger fan of their E-Hobby clone army counterparts and their names.
Salvo,
Zaptrap and the all-time greatest TF name ever...
SHOTHOLE!
A more likely reason is to be more PC with their names. Names like Bombshell and Shrapnel recall the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq with all the bombings.
Top 5 Priorities:
1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)
Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

There is a DC villain called Shrapnel. It might also fall into an issue of avoiding calling it "Decepticon Shrapnel". The Robot Heroes sharpnel was just called insecticon. I think Sharpshot was an odd choice, but I pretty much just call them all insecticons anyway.
