Porcupine

Vanilla soup, a double scoop please.

Porcupine (ポーキュパイン Pōkyupain) is an artificially-constructed fortress planet built by the Predacon Hydra, who mans the planet with the droid Ope. The only planet in a remote area of space, Porcupine uses its defenses, including long-range tentacles and missiles, to attack nearby ships and it uses their scrap to add to its own mass.

Fiction

Beast Wars Neo cartoon

Porcupine was built by Hydra and it was here that Guiledart tricked him in some way.

Seventy years later, Hydra and Ope found an Angolmois Capsule in the planet's mechanical innards, which they reported to Magmatron on the Dinosaur. It was detected by Big Convoy and his Maximals on board the Gung Ho, and the two teams fought over possession of the capsule. The Predacons attempted to use both Porcupine and the Dinosaur to corner the Gung Ho, but an errant blast from the ship hit and destroyed the planet. Lonely Hydra

Hydra rebuilt Porcupine in a new and improved form; he also found another Angolmois Capsule elsewhere, which Magmatron used to lure the Blentrons into a battle so they could be defeated before they realized their goal. The battle took a turn for the worse and Hydra was forced to eject the capsule into space. After retrieving it, the Blentrons destroyed Porcupine with energy blasts. Pursue the Blentrons!
