Gigant Bomb is a Decepticon from the Robot Masters portion of Generation 1.

A colossal Decepticon from the year 2025, Gigant Bomb traveled through the Blasty Zone to the year 2004. Joining with the Decepticons of that era and partnering with Smokesniper to form the super aircraft Gigant Sniper, Gigant Bomb is a grave threat to the Autobots. Luckily for them, his old enemies Star Saber and Victory Leo have followed him to the past!

Gigant Bomb has an internal purification plant that can rapidly absorb and utilize almost any form of energy, enhancing his offensive and defensive capabilities.

(Note: Gigant Bomb's name is pronounced with a pair of hard G's: "gai-gant".)

  • Gigant Bomb (Robot Master, 2004)
Japanese ID number: RM14
A redeco of the Generation 2 Dreadwind toy, Gigant Bomb transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with underslung six-missile gatling cannon. He can also transform into a treaded "tank" mode. In jet form, he can combine with Smokesniper's jet mode to make a complete aircraft called Gigant Sniper.
The same mold is used by BB and Dreadwind. The mold was also intended to be used for Megatron in G2, but was never released.
Unique to this release is the solitarium weapon "Pulverizer", a hand-held non-firing cannon. Also, this is the only time this mold was sold separately from the smaller partner unit.
