	The '''metafictional bomb''', or '''meta-bomb''' for short, is an "abstract weapon" developed by [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Brainstorm]] in his time aboard the ''[[Lost Light]]''. When activated, those affected by the device become convinced that they are characters in a fictional narrative, with the intended consequence being that the enemy loses the will to fight. You probably shouldn't leave one lying around your laboratory for irresponsible metallurgists to find.

	When [[Rewind (G1)\|Rewind]] visited Brainstorm to inquire as to [[Chromedome (G1)\|Chromedome]]'s whereabouts, [[Swerve (G1)\|Swerve]] tagged along, and the metallurgist's curiosity was piqued by the meta-bomb, which was resting on a stand in the laboratory. When its inventor realized what Swerve was toying with, he worriedly checked that the device hadn't been activated. After assuring Brainstorm that he hadn't done so, Swerve confided in Rewind that he ''had'', although it didn't seem to have had any effect. When asked when he'd triggered it, Swerve responded that it must have happened off-panel, despite having no idea what the phrase meant.
