“Did you hear the one about the tortoise and the bomb?”

    —Villain Vault

This Bomb Shell is one of the trappable Magic villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. He was encountered on the Chef Zeppelin, leading the Skylanders on a chase across the deck. Bomb Shell was finally cornered near the back of the deck, where he was taken down and trapped.

Abilities

Bomb Shell can enter his shell and spin to attack enemies, and also throw bombs that release magic fire for continuous damage. In Skylanders: Battlecast, he's regarded as a highly unpredictable enemy, and can attack any enemy randomly.

Trivia

• Bomb Shell originally didn't have a helmet until it was added in late in development.
• Bomb Shell is similar to the Turtle Pirate enemy from Disney Infinity. Both are turtles who throw bombs.
• The quote, "Bombs away", is shared with Boom Jet.
  • Coincidentally, they are both the only explosion-based characters neither of the Fire nor Tech elements.
• Bomb Shell is the third playable turtle character in the Skylanders series, the first being Warnado, and second being Slobber Tooth (turtle dinosaur).
  • He and Warnado both attack in their shells as well as spin inside them.
• Bomb Shell could also be a reference to the mine turtles from asdfmovie.
• He is one of three villains to say "Heads up!" (the others are Hood Sickle and Dreamcatcher).
  • However, Bomb Shell is the only one of these who does not appear in Telescope Towers; instead Pain-Yatta does.
    • Coincidentally, both he and Pain-Yatta are villains of the Magic element.
• He is one of a few villains who speak with a British accent (the others being Brawl & Chain, Wolfgang and Nightshade).
• Unlike during his battle against the Skylanders, Bomb Shell's bombs do not release any pink flame when they hit the ground.
• In his quest, there seem to be more explosives available than needed to complete it.
