B'Boom is a Maximal from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Beware his twenty nipples.

B'Boom is a ball of barely-contained energy and rage that loves nothing more than plowing into a battle head-first. On occasion, his volcanic temper can end up turned toward his fellow Maximals, but B'Boom knows what side he is on. He'll take to the trees, pinballing wildly across branches in his beast mode, until he "cools off". His teammates overlook these rare outbursts, knowing that B'Boom's unpredictable fury and formidable arsenal of weaponry are excellent assets in battle against the Predacons.

Fiction

It's the ciiiiiiiiiiiiircle of death...

During the final battle with Shokaract, several realities converged into a single, apocalyptic timestorm. Beast Warriors from alternate realities emerged, including B'Boom, Drill Bit, Transquito, Air Hammer, Cybershark, Polar Claw and unidentified others, though all of them were summarily defeated.

"You see.... He lives in YOU."

B'Boom was a one of the protoforms to be protected by Razorbeast's viral code, allowing him to remain a Maximal when Magmatron remote-activated all the stasis pods on ancient Earth. The Gathering #1 He joined up with Razorbeast fairly early on, but was easily the most suspicious of his motives. After all, Razorbeast had no evidence to back up his claims, and his masked spark signature still screamed "Predacon". In the fight to get the Transwarp Amplifier from Ravage's downed Transwarp Cruiser, B'Boom was thrashed by Magmatron but had to make do without a CR chamber. The Gathering #2 His self-repair circuits did bring him back on-line in short order, though. The Gathering #3 The Maximals were prepping their transwarp signal at their waterfall lair when Ravage and the Predacons stormed the base. While Snarl continued calibrating the equipment, B'Boom and the others drew Predacon fire away from the base. Being bait would've turned into being a sacrifice if Torca hadn't led in a massive Maximal reinforcement troop at just the right moment. The Gathering #4

B'Boom and the Maximals spent the next few weeks fortifying their position against further Predacon attack, waiting for some sign that their transwarp signal got through. The Ascending #1 It did...with a little help from the chronally displaced Magmatron. The Pack soon arrived and joined forces with the Maximals in fighting off a Predacon offensive. After Magmatron alerted Ravage to the threat of Unicron and Shokaract, though, the Predacons laid down arms to join forces with their Maximal brethren against a common foe. The Ascending #2 The arrival of Rartorata and his corruption of Razorbeast only further cemented the alliance. B'Boom remained behind to occupy the arriving Blendtrons while the Pack transwarped back to Cybertron with a contingent of allies in order to confront the Chaos-Bringer's puppet. The Ascending #3 B'Boom helped the united Maximals and Predacons wrestle Drancron to the ground, and soon they had eliminated all of Unicron's agents. Unfortunately, Razorbeast was still infected by Rartorata's viral Angolmois. He had kept his focus while there were enemies to fight, but without that, his berserker nature began to take hold again. Optimus Minor was forced to execute his friend to keep him from hurting anyone else. B'Boom was seen comforting the young Maximal in the aftermath. The Ascending #4
