	Following the ~~war~~ and the ~~restoration~~ of ~~peace to the planet, he served his homeland~~ [[Barāki]] ~~as its Emperor~~ under King [[~~Drillfrog~~]]... and ~~soon found~~ himself ~~embroiled in war again, this time against the [[Laser Beast]] forces~~.

			His [[MVP Weapon]], the Bomb Sabeler (ボムサーベラー ''Bomu Sāberā''), is capable of flight with a proper charge, and has excellent midair maneuverability. He can use it both to strike targets from afar, and to fly himself by holding onto it.

	* ~~It is believed that Snakebomb~~ was ~~one of~~ the ~~all~~-~~white gumball machine~~ Beastformers ~~released~~, but ~~no samples have been found~~ so ~~far~~.		* As he was not sold in the post-''Transformers'' sequel series and thus had no bio card, his "RPG"-era bio comes from the ''[[Hero Special 4: Beastformers]]'' book. This bio gives him the nickname "'''Bomb'''" (ボム ''Bomu'').
			* The "Sabeler" part of his weapon's name is kinda nonsense, but the Dutch spelling "sabel" for "saber" is the root for the Japanese word サーベル, and "Saberer" looks worse and the weapon is a halberd/poleax anyway so shrug emoji.
