[That Bot]

No tatoos = generic Insecticon, not Hardshell.

Hmm. My research shows that the last time a toy called just Insecticon got released was 2010, so maybe they lost the name? Or the tattoos were outside the paint budget. Either way, I'm buying the hell out of it to make my insecticon army.

By his comment about the THREE named ones, I think chaosmage may be referring to the G1 trio, since outside of "Hardshell" I don't believe there were any other named insecticons in the Prime series, were there?

In the cartoon, no. but in the FOC game, Hardshell was among Sharpshot and Kickback as the only named ones, but by the time of the Prime cartoon, Hardshell looks like everyone else instead of having his own unique body and size.

As I recall though even in the G1 anime

The 1984-1987 G1 cartoon wasn't an anime.

In all fairness, it's more that everybody else looks like Hardshell than the other way around.

How do you figure that?

Logically, the minions' design would be based on the leader?

so are we getting a Voyager version ? would be nice =]

[ausbot]

Takara will do one use that as Hardshell and domestic releases as the troop builders!

Must've gotten something mixed up somewhere. I remember seeing that Predaking's large toy was being called something other than Leader class, and for some reason thought it was Commander class. But in light of already having Cyberverse Commanders, another pricepoint with the same name could be confusing.

Thanks for reminding me!

Hardshell isn't the leader. Where'd you get that idea? Sharpshot is (or was) the leader.

Ah, excellent, a commander class figure. How I can buy 50 of him and it wouldn't be as bad as when I tried to buy lots of Movieverse Dreadwings.


EDIT: I meant to say NOW I can buy 50 of them. Yep

perfect enemy for the Mad Max I mean Death Race sorry Beast Hunters Autobots, I'm sold!

Wait, he'll have gigantic beetle-head back kibble, won't he Oh well, still cool. Do some "battle damage" and they'll be great troop builder in either mode
