We'll see hardshell around l8r tho
| I'm going to laugh so hard if that's literally all what Hardshell does. |
| Well he (Hardshell) did get his butt kicked in that clip, so maybe Knock-Out has to do some modifications once Hardshell gets back to the ship? |
| Nah, we haven't heard him say his promo quote yet. Chances are, there will be a second fight in store. |
| Don't you mean Hardshell? Knock-Out is busy playing Squash with the trains and hatin' on Soundwave while this is going down. |
| When was synthetic Energon being used in this episode ever mentioned? I don't recall ever reading that. Besides, I don't think Knock Out feels like helping Megatron out all that much at the moment if he even had it. It seems unlikely that Synthetic Energon is even ready. If it were, why didn't Knock Out use hours earlier? He could have saved him safe a ton of scratches and an @$$ kickin' if had ![]() |
| Theory time. Possibly the Insecticons try out the SynthEn formula, each succumbing to its effects as if it's battery acid on steriods because the formula isn't refined under the guiding but flawed hand of Knockout, only to have one of them take to it better than the others. I'm guessing the Insecticon who blossoms under its effects is Hardshell, which then gives him the ability to tear Bulkhead a new one- hence him being thrown through the groundbridge back to Autobot HQ with a smoking crater where his chest should be. This would help lend credence to the "Toxicity" title for this episode, as the formula doesn't work as hoped on some Transformers. |


Also, for a moment, is it just me or did Hardshell sounded like Scott McNeil's BW Dinobot
