Trivia[]
- Ken was greatly disappointed when he heard he had Shellhead in his Omnitrix.[2]
- Thomas Perkins designed his own version of Shellhead in 2020 from concept ideas he had during the show's run. He does not know if the writers came up with any idea what the unseen future aliens would do, as all they had at the time were the names of the aliens.[TP 1]
- Unlike with Toepick and Atomix, the crew did not consider incorporating Shellhead into Omniverse.[MW 1][DJW 2] Had he made it into the show, he would have likely not been much different from Thomas' design.[DJW 3]
- There were no plans to expand on Shellhead in the reboot, but it is possible the crew will expand on him in the future.[DR 1]
