Bomb-Burst (G1)
Bomb-Burst is a Decepticon from Generation 1 continuity.
There are legends on many worlds of unnatural predators, monsters who hunt in the darkness, sucking the life from any unfortunate victims to cross their path. Bomb-Burst is that dark legend given life. A figure of Cybertronian myth, Bomb-burst is all too real and all too terrifying. He hunts Autobots alone and in perfect silence, picking them off one at a time, snatching them away to the shadows and then draining all the energy from their bodies through his specially designed fangs. Sometimes the victim is found, drained, dead, and mangled the next morning, and sometimes they simply vanish, never to be seen again.
Bomb-Burst's hovercraft mode can move in near silence and features dual lasers that he can also wield as a robot, but he is at his most deadly inside his monsterous Pretender shell. The shell's touch causes a rust-rash on contact and it features sarrated fangs to punch through a victim's armor. The more energon Bomb-Burst drains the stronger he becomes. His shell weilds a corrosive slime shooter and a dual-bladed energo-axe.
Bomb-Burst cannot relate socially to most other Decepticons. He is at heart not a soldier in a war, after all, but a lone predator in the night. Powerful and intelligent he excels at this, and well for him that he does, since his shell requires frequent victums to feed its power supply. Other than the need to sake this thirst, his most signifigant weaknesses are the optics of the shell being extremely sensitive to light. As a creature of the shadows Bomb-burst remains unmatched.
