## Details

### First Appearance

Festival Of Stars Pt. 1 TournamentSiege of Acadeimos *(First Comic Appearance)*

Armordillo is a senior student of the Maximal Academy with the talent of Hyper-Durability

## Official Bio

*Armordillo is a rough and tumble sort of guy, always getting into fights just to test how durable his shells are. He has also taken to hone his claws to practice his digging ability, and often burrows about to perform surprise attacks whenever he gets in a fight. Bigfight has caught on to Armordillo's fighting, and always tries his best to stop Armordillo before he ends up annoying the wrong person and gets humiliated and beaten.*

## History

Armordillo was sent to Maximal Academy after his talent was discovered, making it to his senior year, where he was placed in Class 1-A under the tutelage of "Venus". His tendency to start fights often forced Bigfight to intervene so he wouldn't get himself hurt. Like the rest of his school, Armordillo traveled to Acadeimos for the Festival of the Stars, arriving at Autobot Academy after making it through the Forest of Trials.

*In Festival Of Stars Pt. 1 Tournament Armordillo signed up for the team bracket of the Tournament of Heroes with Polar Claw, Shuffler, and Zaptrap,* *and* *as such was contacted by Bigfight to attend a meeting held in the Autobot Academy courtyard. After listening to the teacher give a speech, Armordillo went with the rest of the Maximal Academy students to their prep room, and then followed Bigfight to their viewing room when his match wasn't up first. His name led to his opponent Minerva to figure out his team was from Maximal Academy. When his match was called up by MegaOctane, Armordillo chatted with his teammates as they stepped onto the field, and once the arena was changed to the ruin environment and the fight began he quickly burrowed underground in his beast mode. Upon bursting out onto the surface Armordillo attempted to slash Heatrock with his claws and succeeded, but the damage wasn't enough to stop his opponent from blasting him out of the arena with his Mega-Heatblast Attack special technique. Once the battle was over he was carried out with the rest of his teammates by Triage and Meltdown for repairs.*

*Hosehead told Tailgate that Armordillo's team had been beaten by Hot Spot's team in Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala!, but Tailgate had no idea who he was.*

### The Siege- Aborted Timeline

During the Siege of Acadeimos Armordillo fled at the sight of the new Decepticon Combiner, Menasor.

### The Siege- Revised Timeline

When the timeline was altered, Armordillo was able to return to Eukaris to finish his senior year. In Ballad of the Beasts Armordillo did combat training with Cataclysm, which was observed by Lionhead and Lightbright on their tour of the school.

## Powers and Abilities
