"Luck, timing, who cares as long as it gets the job done."

 Halfshell has the greatest sense of timing known to the Transformer race. He can always be counted on to show up just when he's most needed to turn the tide of a battle. Part of this may have as much to do with the firepower he brings to the fray, and his unique fighting style. In beast mode, his shell is composed of radiation hardened steel. It also has a skin tight force field that doubles its resistance to enemy firepower. Underneath it he has a tractor/repulsor generator (its shoulder mounted in robot mode) which he focuses through his eyes. With it he can attract or repel any object up to three times his size. In attack mode, his shell raises up and deploys a pair of twin barreled pulse blasters. He can use these to devastating effect, especially as he uses his powerful legs to make monstrous leaps. This can make him extremely had to draw a bead on. In robot mode, his shell becomes an arm mounted shield. He can use his blasters either while they're still mounted on it, or as handheld weapons. Halfshell spends a lot of time in the field, which doesn't allow him much time to socialize with his fellow Maximals. He's also somewhat high strung since he doesn't relax much. While his shield is invunerable to most weapons, fire based weapons can overheat it causing it to short out.
