| This article is about the evil Beastformer. For his female mirrorverse counterpart, see Snakebomb (SG). |
- Snakebomb is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Snakebomb[1] (スネークボム Sunēkubomu) is one of the Decepticon-allied Beastformers attempting a brutal takeover of the planet Beast, serving in Alligatron's army as a reconnaissance soldier. He was born in and is Emperor of Barāki under King Drillfrog at some point, but where this fits in relative to his time as an army scout is unknown.
Sometimes there are lots of him.
Fiction
The Headmasters cartoon
- Voice actor: Ryōichi Tanaka (Japanese)
The Snakebombs were part of the faction of Beastformers that allied with the Decepticon invaders. During an attack by the rebel Beastformers on the Decepticon stronghold, a Snakebomb leapt out of the nearby river and tried to drag a Yellow Giraffe into the water, only to be driven away by Golder.
A Snakebomb spied the Autobot Transformers who had just arrived and reported to the leader Alligatron, who in turn reported the news to Galvatron.
A Snakebomb spotted Daniel and Wheelie, who were following a monkey Beastformer child, and alerted his comrades to the intruder. The two were captured and Snakebombs were among the Beastformers who held the two hostage. One Snakebomb, along with a Black Turtle, brought the two to the factory manufacturing a component for Scorponok's Transtector.
An Alligatron and a Snakebomb later spotted the Autobots, who were flying over to the Decepticon stronghold. Presumably this was the same Snakebomb who attempted to attack Rodimus Prime with a Devilbat, only to be easily brushed off. Defeated, the Snakebomb called out to the newly arrived Galvatron, only to be accidentally shot at by Galvatron for his troubles. Eventually, the Decepticon Transformers were forced into retreat.
