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.
