B'Boom
- B'Boom is a Maximal from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
B'Boom is a militaristic and fierce fighter. Unfortunately, he is prone to wild fits of over-energized rage. He's a clever and skilled fighter in combat though, and a dedicated Maximal, so his allies tend to ignore his bad attitude and occasional tantrum.
His most lethal mode is his battle platform. His favorite weapon is the missile launcher hidden in his beast mode mouth. These pulse missiles harm his opponents but not the valuable wilderness.

Terminus
IDW Beast Wars comics
B'Boom was a protoform in a stasis pod from the Axalon during the time of Optimus Primal's beast war. Magmatron sought to turn the abandoned protoforms into an army of Predacons, but Razorbeast thwarted that plan. B'Boom was remotely awakened from stasis by Razorbeast. The baboon was among the first of the newly born Maximals to join up with Razorbeast.
Although Maximals stopped Magmatron's attempt to conquer Cybertron, they had no immediate means to return home.
