Bomb-Burst

Bomb-Burst is a young Cybertronian and student at the Acadeimos Autobot Academy with the ability to produce Pretender Shells, that he can mentally detonate.

## Official Bio

*Fursona fursona fursona \*AHEM\* Sorry. Bomb-Burst is the country hick obsessed by horror movies. Fun-loving but crude in his humor, Bomb-Burst just loves to have adventures and friends. His ability to create what is basically an organic drone makes him pretty useful in fighting large groups, and the fact they explode helps. But again, he's from the energon farms, which means he may need help figuring out his SOCIAL LINK SOCIAL LINKS SOCIAL LINKS SOCIAL-*

## History

### Before Joining the Academy

Bomb-Burst was the son of Blood, *who many said that Bomb-Burst resembled*, and Ether Walker, and the three lived on an Energon farm on the outskirts of Nuon City. However, Bomb-Burst's grandfather did not approve of his son marrying a goth with little wealth and hired "Shadow Raider" to beat up Blood.

*On that Fateful Night, at age three Bomb-Burst was put to bed by his mother, and he dreamt of the day out they had just had. However, he was woken up by a loud crash and he got up and saw his parents rush downstairs. Deciding to see what was going on, Bomb-Burst attempted to reach the door knob, and managed to do so by jumping and generating an organic hand over his own. Sacred by the sound of gunshots, Bomb-Burst quietly went downstairs towards the sound of his parents' voices, and was covered by Blood as "Shadow Raider" killed Ether Walker, with Bomb-Burst remembering the intruder staring right at him as he left.*

*Bomb-Burst held on to one of his mom's lockets as a way to remember her.* He would develop a taste for horror movies that most considered poorly made. Once he was old enough, Bomb-Burst decided to go to Autobot Academy in order to prepare himself for the real world, unlike his babying father.

### Freshman Year- First Semester

*Going to the spaceport in Iacon, Bomb-Burst watched Firestar say goodbye to Hot Shot, before asking Blood if he'd be okay with him gone, crying and hugging his father after admitting he didn't want to leave him alone. Telling Blood that he loved him before getting onto the* Xantium*, Bomb-Burst decided to smear some Energon onto his mouth as a prank and tried to scare Arcee, but failed.*

*In Humble Beginnings, Bomb-Burst was incredibly excited about the trip on the* Xanthium *having never been on a ship or in space before, and when he noticed Misfire was upset, he asked if he was okay. Still having Energon on his lips from his previous prank, Longshot jokingly asked if Bomb-Burst was a cannibal when he introduced himself, to which he agreed. When Longshot asked about the others talents, Bomb-Burst generated a pretender shell for him, which he had to keep on for the rest of the trip due to not being able to blow it up. He had brought along more Energon with him, but the pack broke and it got all over Longshot's hand. Bomb-Burst was unable to provide Longshot with info on Aranea and watched as he went up to talk to her. He waved goodbye to his father Blood when the shuttle took off. After Hosehead tried talking to Aranea, Bomb-Burst became convinced Longshot didn't have a chance with her to which he replied that Bomb-Burst had no chance with anyone. When Ramjet came over to talk with them, Bomb-Burst noticed he was a senior, and was awed when Acadeimos came into view. He wondered what he would do when the Forest of Trials test was announced.*

*In Forest Trials, Bomb-Burst was dropped from the shuttle, and his shell exploded in the air. Landing with Hosehead, they wandered around the forest until they came across Circuit, Ironfist, Ramjet, Mach Dart, Saber, and Buster, at which point Bomb-Burst hugged Saber. After being told by the returning Longshot and Saber to let go, he held on for a few more seconds before doing so. Buster then came over to introduce himself, and Bomb-Burst did so as well. Taking watch that night, Bomb-Burst had to be carried by Hosehead as he slept while the group tracked Ramjet. He woke up when Hosehead stopped to go to the bathroom and walked with him when they went to catch up with the group. Finding the training city creepy as they walked around, the two caught up with everyone in the tunnel to the Academy, where in jet mode Bomb-Burst complained about being left behind. Excited to get the transport, he sat down and brushed off some dust before the transport brought them to Acadeimos Town Beta, where he sat at a fountain with Hosehead. Unsure of what to do, he came along with Hosehead and Misfire to find a place to eat, laughing when Sky High thought Hosehead was asking her out before thanking her for the directions to the diner. Sitting where Ironfist and Ramjet were, he followed Misfire and Hosehead in ordering an energon soda and deep fried petro rabbit. When Rook came to talk with Ramjet, Bomb-Burst asked the senior if he was one of the teachers, and then listened to Misfire tell the story of how he found out about his talent. Leaving with Hosehead to explore the plaza, he came along to get his dorm room, being placed in Room 21 with Wheeljack, and laughed when the registration desk called Hosehead "Bonehead". Afterwards he ran into Buster and Fuego and said hi, though he misremembered their names. Once he got to his room Bomb-Burst stared out the window.*

For his first year at Autobot Academy, Bomb-Burst was placed in Class 4-C under Rook. *In The First Test Bomb-Burst sat in his seat, and spent the beginning of class poking at gum under his desk. He revealed that he knew Class 4-D was going to have Hot Rodimus as their homeroom teacher and that he let students get away with anything. When "Mini" entered the class, Bomb-Burst shared Saber's confusion and tried to stop himself from laughing at the mech. While Rook gave the introduction to his course, Bomb-Burst had gotten his entire hand stuck on the gum, and his efforts to remove just got it on the other hand until Saber helped him get it off. When Rook brought the class to the gym, to Bomb-Burst's surprise, he started off with lifting weights. When the teacher showed them the training weapons that they would be using in the holodeck, Bomb-Burst grabbed a pair of arm mounted blasters and flew around to show them off. When Rook explained they would be put into two teams to find eight people from a burning building, Bomb-Burst was chosen by Longshot, to his excitement. He was assigned to use his shell to deal with anything that got in their way, and promptly generated one before investigating. When Longshot and Saber had to fight "Bypass", Bomb-Burst clawed directly through the floors to get to them before trying to grab "Bypass", leading to them both falling down a floor. Though slightly injured, he lunged at "Bypass" and attempted to grab him before preparing to detonating the shell, though this merely forced his opponent to leap out of the building. Following him, Bomb-Burst detonated the shell, the explosion sending "Bypass" crashing through a wall. Firing at his enemy with his blasters, Bomb-Burst was then hit by a charged shot and slammed against a wall, dodging further shots as well. Luckily, this resulted in him finding two of the dummies, which he was able to bring to the Circle of Power before flying around and finding another dummy. Unfortunately, his luck ran out when "Bypass" shot him in the arm, sending him crashing to the ground. Forced to carry the dummy on foot, Bomb-Burst was shot more times and passed out just before reaching the Circle of Power. Waking up before lunch began, he inquired if they had won, and told Misfire about how he got three dummies. He then left lunch with Hosehead after Circuit arrived drunk in order to join Longshot and Saber at the firing range, excitedly yelling about it in Saber's audio receptor.*

*That night in Nighttime Duel Bomb-Burst was writing back home on a datapad he had gotten from the library when the power went out, causing him to throw it against the wall in frustration. He then left his room and yelled out to see if anyone knew what happened, eventually coming across Misfire and Hosehead and shrugged at Hosehead's suggestion of finding a teacher. He then joined up with Longshot and Saber in his jet mode, suggesting they go after the Rainmakers, who were currently in the computer lab, and narrowly managed to avoid a spray of acid from a trap the invaders set up. He then went off and got Hot Shot, Bumblebee, and Sky High to aid them in their fight, though was told to wait by Saber. Once the Rainmakers emerged, Bomb-Burst engaged them in combat, but was overwhelmed and unable to retreat, resulting in him getting thrown around by the trio until "Jetman" arrived to fight them. Left lying on the ground in pain, Bomb-Burst could only mumble gibberish about wanting cookies when "Jetman" came to protect him from Acid Storm, and he remained delirious as the vigilante carried him back to his room, and ate the cookies given to him by "Jetman." He was eventually informed that the entire ordeal had merely been a simulation.*

*Bomb-Burst did minimal work to keep his side of his dorm room clean, and as such his desk was covered with horror movies while his floor had a pile of crumpled papers. He did, however, keep the letters his dad wrote to him organized, and got a weekend job to pay for his movie collection.*

In Fight Sim Club, Bomb-Burst took part in Kup's training exercise, standing next to Tremor and Hosehead as the directions were given. He was put on the "villain" team, and started causing havoc in the training city with his pretender shell.

In The Mystery of Mini, Bomb-Burst attended the meet and greet with the Magnus Corp, standing in line for autographs.

Later on in Observations in Team Dynamics, Bomb-Burst was present for Fortress Maximus' announcement that the students would be observing professional Autobots, sitting next to Aranea and Buster. Bomb-Burst was put in a group with Mach Dart, Misfire, and Nightbird under Prowl and Streetwise at Ky-Alexia. *When Prowl's shuttle came to pick the group up, Bomb-Burst mistook it for a fireball. Unfortunately, the week turned out to be rather boring as Prowl had the students watch him do paperwork for four days to get the authentic experience, leading to them missing an actual mission after a different Autobot team took care of it, as well as insisting they would be responsible for attending a superhero debate.* During their trip a photo was taken.

*Bomb-Burst would come across students watching holoscreens in The Announcement, learning that students from other academies would be coming to Acadeimos. Discovering that Maximal Academy would be arriving soon, Bomb-Burst figured that since the other schools didn't go easy on their students, it would be fine for them to go through the Forest of Trials as well, as long as they didn't have to go through hell. Wondering if the Maximal students would see the giant pink bear, Bomb-Burst would grab a seat in the auditorium behind Longshot with Hosehead, generating a pretender shell for comfort as he watched the screens. He began to a petro-rabbit when Offroad told Ramjet not to enter in the Tournament of Heroes, prompting Bomb-Burst to ask the senior who he was and what his talent was. When Offroad ignored him, Bomb-Burst demanded an answer, figuring asking Circuit would be a waste of time. Pointing to his own shell when asked if he was scared of monsters, Bomb-Burst was disappointed when Offroad simply generated organic claws, but was amazed when the senior unveiled his full pretendor shell and summoned two more raptors, and when Offroad used his abilities to make Ramjet slam his head against the wall, Bomb-Burst found it surprisingly enjoyable, getting even more entertainment out of watching the pair fight. He and Hosehead left the auditorium to find Tailgate and ask her to join their team for the upcoming tournament, but when Tailgate started tickling Hosehead, Bomb-Burst tried to act like he didn't know the pair, eventually leaving the area.* While walking in Transcription of the Soul Bomb-Burst was passed by Side Burn and Darkburn as they fought in hyperspeed.

During Unexpected Burdens, Bomb-Burst met up with Misfire and Steeljaw to find accommodations for their second year, only to find out that their final member, Thunderhoof, had a baby with him, which Bomb-Burst was convinced was biologically Thunderhoof's. The trio left Thunderhoof to find a place on their own.

*At some point Bomb-Burst had some strong Engex Steeljaw gave him and Misfire, which led to him losing a datapad he had gotten from the library.*

Later in Halloween Spooktime, Bomb-Burst dressed as a vampire for Mortilus Night and made plans with Misfire to go to the costume contest.

*Bomb-Burst once coughed near Nightracer during Cyberflu season, and he speant the next three weeks stuck in a locker.*

In Zero to Hero, Bomb-Burst stood next to Circuit and Longshot as Kup explained the training mission they were about to undergo. What they weren't told was that it was a No Win Scenario against Pro Heroes, and Bomb-Burst wound up facing off against Ultra Magnus with Nautica and Scattorblast. Using his pretender shell, he caught Ultra Magnus's hammer, but was then punched into the wall. In retaliation, Bomb-Burst detonated the shell, but it failed to stop Magnus and he was then buried under a pile of girders after they were hit by missiles Magnus launched. Though the freshmen failed the test, they were able to get a new high score on it.

While unconscious during the exercise, Bomb-Burst had some of energon sampled by Nautica to acquire data on talent, as shown in Unknown Machinations.

*During Primus Day Bomb-Burst woke up to find that he had been invited to a snowball fight by Hosehead, and responded that he would come. He proceeded to go out, sneak up on Hosehead, Misfire, Circuit, and Longshot, and throw snowballs at them. Bomb-Burst apologized to Hosehead after was told to wait for teams to be organized, but by that point Longshot had declared a free for all and Bomb-Burst was hit by the newly arrived Moonracer. He then threw snowballs at Gridlock and asked Longshot to make a cup of hot energon for him. Once the snowball fight died down, Bomb-Burst chatted with Bumblebee as they walked to the student lounge, where they were asked by Hosehead to take a picture with him for his family.*

### Freshman Year- Second Semester

*When the week off ended and school resumed in Field Trip! Bomb-Burst came to class to find that Ramjet was teaching Class 4-C for the day. When the senior showed them his forest survival guide, Bomb-Burst questioned if it was even real before listening to a hologram of Fortress Maximus telling him the class would be taking a holomatter field trip to Nebulos. Led by Ramjet through the Forest of Trials to get to a teleporter, the class ran into Botanica and Bomb-Burst laughed at the hat and scarf he had to wear while the two seniors chatted. When Hosehead asked Botanica what being a plant was like, Bomb-Burst piped in to find out if she could photosynthesize energon, but couldn't tell if her answer was sarcastic or not. When Botanica asked if the freshmen wanted to explore the forest, Bomb-Burst enthusiastically raised his hand, and while walking asked her how far they were from the teleporter. Once they arrived at the Spacial Transport Bridge, the group was met by Ultra Magnus and a squad of Autotroopers, who told them to turn around while they investigated the bridge, leading Bomb-Burst to declare the trip ruined. When Tremor asked him how long they had been in the forest, he asked her in turn if her group was planning to take over the school, and was further confused by Artillery telling him it was to stop Decepticons from infiltrating, but didn't agree with Tremor's order to not be concerned, convinced he'd lose sleep thinking about it. When Scorch showed the class the holomatter room and how to use the equipment, Bomb-Burst put on the helmet and found himself in a Nebulan Holomatter Avatar located in the city of Reikshell on Nebulos. Catching up to the group with Hosehead outside a mall, Bomb-Burst remarked how peculiar "Jane Ramos" was when he giggled during the scanning at the security station. Once inside, he questioned if Artillery was going mad when she claimed to hear buzzing, which turned out to be a Waruder. With Artillery not knowing how to deactivate the avatars, Bomb-Burst was forced to run until a trio of Project Diaclone mechs arrived, leaving him in stunned silence. When Misfire shot at one of the mechs, Bomb-Burst cried out that he didn't know what was going on anymore, and angrily questioned why Saber's avatar got a weapon. When the newly arrived "Nightwatch Star Convoy" revealed himself to be Sideways, Bomb-Burst confronted him for attacking him on the first day. Offered the chance to go to a food court for Chinese food, Bomb-Burst asked "Ms. Ramos" both what it and a Sari was, learning they were both from Earth. After commenting how ridiculous the food names were and that energon cubes were better, Bomb-Burst returned to the academy after the senior gave him the return codes.*

*Once he arrived in The Announcement Bomb-Burst told Longshot that he hadn't seen Misfire since they got back from the holomatter trip. Learning that Aerosis Academy would be arriving soon, he remarked they cheated getting through the Forest of Trials with their wings, only to reminded he possessed a pair himself. When Saber remarked that he would learn to wield two swords, Bomb-Burst told him he saw a movie where a bot with one sword beat a bot that wielded four, growing embarrassed when Hosehead asked if the movie was a bad one that skipped theaters due to his being a fan of them. Bomb-Burst then headed to the workshops, where he found Nautica and yelled to get her to look up from her work. Asking if the workshops were closed, he then asked who she was, not remembering if he had seen her in class. Learning she was in Class 4-B, he asked if she knew Tailgate, only to learn she didn't talk to other students much, inspiring him to drag her from the workshop to socialize. Making it to the courtyard, he yelled out at everyone to introduce them to Nautica, unconcerned by her embarrassment. Bomb-Burst would bring Nautica along to introduce her to Misfire and the Aerosis Academy student Beta Levo, before introducing himself to the senior as well. He then tried to encourage Nautica to make conversation, only to be shocked to learn Misfire had been teleported to Aerosis Academy by the holomatter projector for their trip to Nebulos, figuring something had gone very wrong for the machine to malfunction that badly. Encouraging Nautica to not go back to the workshop and keep talking, Bomb-Burst then asked Misfire if he would join his team for the tournament, and when he accepted, took Misfire and Nautica with him to tell Hosehead and Tailgate. Finally agreeing to let Nautica go back to her work after she met Hosehead, Bomb-Burst told his friend they finally had their fourth team member and introduced him to Nautica. Bomb-Burst then agreed to Hosehead's idea to train for the tournament at a mountain overhang, and after snickering at Misfire's embarrassment he turned to jet mode to race after Hosehead to their training ground. Betting Misfire that he would win, Bomb-Burst ended up losing to him, much to his disappointment. However, he then found that Beta Levo and Archadis were already there and demanded to know who they were, introducing the group once he got his answer. The two groups decided to join together for training, and Bomb-Burst teamed up with Misfire and Beta after reminding Misfire that Ramjet wasn't with them and accusing him of picking up too many of Ramjet's mannerisms. When Beta realized he knew who Ramjet was, Bomb-Burst asked him to elaborate, and learned the seniors had fought in the previous tournament. Telling Misfire to get ready, Bomb-Burst then flew at Tailgate, and after crashing due to the ice shot at him, generated a shell to slash her.*

Later on in Summertime Smackdown, Bomb-Burst came along on Hot Rodimus's trip to Sirena, where he built a sandcastle with Roulette.

In Generation Two, Bomb-Burst came to Lightbright's meeting on her plan to rescue the kidnapped Steeljaw, talking to Longshot as it began, but was shocked by the possibility that they might have to fight an army of clones. He nonetheless came along with the other students to Jhiaxus's lab, and arrived later during the battle along with Bumblebee, Slicer, Flare-Up, and Cohrada in time to face Ragnarok, generating a pretender shell to do so. Bomb-Burst then snuck up on Raze and Phantomjaw and detonated the shell, sending them into the air, and jokeingly denied Roulette's claim that her luck helped him.

In The Fight Before Christmas, Bomb-Burst attended the surprise party on Earth held for Sari using a holomatter avater, and was among the party goers dancing to Sonar's music.

*At some point Bomb-Burst was asked by Rollout to look for Glitch after he got lost in the Forest of Trials, only to wind uop getting caught in yet another forest fire.*

*During Festival Of Stars Pt. 1 Tournament Bomb-Burst spotted Misfire at the arena and asked his friend if he'd missed anything, happy to watch some of the other fights and suggested they get some snacks. Finding the food stands when Misfire admitted to not having breakfast, Bomb-Burst got himself a hot dog and drink, guessing they could be from either Elonia or Earth, only to remark that he planned on saving his food for the fights after Misfire finished off his own hot dog. Chuckling that Hosehead would be jealous after Tailgate came and playfully pinched Misfire, Bomb-Burst then noticed a message from Rollout to meet at Auditorium Nu and told his teammates where to go, figuring Hosehead would know where to go. When Misfire mentioned his aunt Moonheart was coming, Bomb-Burst told his friends that Blood was also going to be coming and asked Tailgate if her family was coming as well. Figuring they should get a move on, Bomb-Burst led the way to the auditorium and joked that Hosehead wouldn't be happy about suggesting Misfire and Tailgate hook up, before arriving at their destination and deciding to see if Rook could teach him any new skills. Once his teacher finished his speech, Bomb-Burst came up to Rook and asked to learn a technique, and was confused by being called "Burst-Bomber" and how much like an ancient martial art Rook's Overdrive technique sounded. Wondering if it would be a better idea to practice Overdrive in a training room, Bomb-Burst nevertheless donned his shell and wondered how it would be affected by the technique, only for his shell to move on its own towards a training dummy. Admitting to Longshot that the sight was a little scary, Bomb-Burst figured the resulting explosion was a little excessive, and asked Rook if he would be able to have the shell fight alongside him and if the student who also had his abilities was Offroad, who considered to be a bit scary. When the senior then showed up to announce a party he was throwing, Bomb-Burst found it weird, and admitted to Rook that animating his shell was both cool and freaky, but saluted him for saying that he had the skill to control his power. Asking his teammates if they had seen what he had done, Bomb-Burst rolled his optics at their limited responses, only to look at the roster for the tournament and noticed that they were fighting some of their classmates. Bomb-Burst then told Hosehead and Tailgate not to be so lovey-dovey, only to get water sprayed at his face by Hosehead for it and was hurt when Tailgate said his face had been dirty before, but the blow was softened when she explained it was from their training. Finding the speech Hot Rodimus gave good, Bomb-Burst scratched his head when "Amp" and Silverbolt showed up before following Rollout to the arena.*

*Bomb-Burst was led to the field by Scorch and told Misfire to come along with them, wondering where he was as they stepped onto the field. Informing his teammate they were talking about the fight that was about to begin, Bomb-Burst donned a pretender shell once the arena was changed to the forest setting and the match began, bouncing off a tree to take on X-Brawn. Unfortunately, he was punched by his opponent hard enough to crack a tree, and Bomb-Burst got up and leapt at X-Brawn to slash at him. When Tailgate and Hosehead focused on X-Brawn, Bomb-Burst went after Tap-Out, removing his shell and sending it out to grapple his opponent, only to detonate it and sent Tap-Out out of the arena, prompting Bomb-Burst to celebrate with a punch in the air. Agreeing to perform a team attack with Misfire that would create a laser explosion, Bomb-Burst grabbed his partner's hand and performed the Explosive Laser Blitz Special Technique that covered them both in pretender shell that sent X-Brawn out of the ring with a laser explosion. Having won the match, Bomb-Burst high fived Misfire but was annoyed when Hosehead and Tailgate kissed, dragging Hosehead away when Minerva told them to get off the field and ordered Misfire to do the same with Tailgate. After realizing he had gone all the way out of the arena, Bomb-Burst brought Hosehead with him to the Autobot Academy viewing area and clinked his soda can with Hosehead's. Noticing Tailgate seemed distraught, Bomb-Burst offered her some soda but begged her and Hosehead to stop kissing again. Figuring he'd stay to watch the other matches instead of going for food with Tailgate and Hosehead, Bomb-Burst caved when Misfire also wanted to go, deciding to grab Turbofox legs. Asking Misfire if the femme he saw Ramjet hit on was Moonheart, Bomb-Burst laughed at the idea of Ramjet getting beat up by Moonheart after telling Hosehead and Tailgate that either one of them could pay for the food. Gasping when Misfire suggested that Ramjet might be getting too romantic with Moonheart, Bomb-Burst was confused when Tailgate called him and his friend "Missing Bomb" before going silent when Misfire talked about how Moonheart broke the spines of her criminal exes. Telling Misfire that he was glad to have never gone out with Moonheart, Bomb-Burst was confused when Misfire suggested he had gotten laid before, and shrugged when Moonheart came wondering when the next fight would be. Agreeing to Hosehead's idea of training with the electronic paintjobs they had made with Sky High, Bomb-Burst found Leobreaker, Skyburst, and Stormclash and brought them to Holodeck Omicron to join in the training. Questioning how Misfire had hid in the shadows, Bomb-Burst grinned when Hosehead prepared to show off the electronic paint jobs, but grew nervous when who he thought was Rook came in and activated a simulation as punishment for them not signing up to use the room. Questioning what "Rook's" problem was when he forced them all to sit into teams to fight each other, Bomb-Burst then suggested to Hosehead that they show off their surprise, and proceeded to don his electronic paintjob. Telling Misfire that he looked good in his new colors, Bomb-Burst was disappointed to hear that his friend had finished all his gum before he could have any, and was further saddened to learn the gum was never real. Remarking to Tailgate how lucky she was to get colors she wanted on the first try, Bomb-Burst shrugged off Misfire's mention of killing their opponents, only for "Rook" to come in with a warhammer and challenged all the students to fight him for the damage Break did to the room. Wishing they had Hot Shot to melt ice, Bomb-Burst was disappointed to not be given a role in Hosehead's plan, and facepalmed when Misfire started insulting "Rook". Taking action, Bomb-Burst donned a shell and leapt at "Rook", using his Pretender Cutter Special Technique to cut through his torso armor, before leaping out of the way of the laser Misfire shot.*

*Once their opponent was defeated in Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala!, Bomb-Burst asked Misfire what they should do next, and was okay with his idea to go get something to eat, as well as having Leobreaker and Break join them. Suggesting they go to their usual place for food, Bomb-Burst lead the way to Acadeimos Town and told Misfire that Autobot Academy would most likely win. Noting how hungry he was when the group reached the cafe, Bomb-Burst transformed and flew after Misfire to the diner. Considering getting a spicy Petrorabbit burger once he sat down, Bomb-Burst decided that he'd get Petrorabbit stew like Misfire and asked Break what "sushi" was. As he started eating his food, Bomb-Burst heard an announcement about an alien cultures lecture at the South Block Auditorium and suggested the group go see it, asking if Leobreaker wanted to finish his own Petrorabbit before eating the entire thing whole when it was given to him. Paying for their food and then heading off, Bomb-Burst told Misfire where they'd have to go and once he made it to the auditorium he greeted his other friends. Checking to see if Misfire and Break were still with him, Bomb-Burst assured Misfire that the lecture hadn't started yet, but noted how "circuity" Ruy-Han looked. Once Sol'shaad started presenting, Bomb-Burst whispered to Misfire that he'd probably get beat up by the speakers for leaving out of boredom, and joked how Rook had already attempted to do so, only for their teacher to come clear things up about them having fought his AI copy. Bomb-Burst didn't to leave for his upcoming fight when Misfire suggested it due to wanting to see Ruy-Han speak, and was annoyed when his teammate dragged him off by the leg. After getting flown to the arena by Misfire using his jet mode, Bomb-Burst demanded to be put down and flopped on the ground, before heading inside the arena.*

*Once the arena shifted to a mesa environment and the match began, Bomb-Burst donned his pretender shell and went after Fixit, trying to intimidate his opponent, only to duck when Misfire shot in his direction, leaving him open for Hot Spot to kick his knees. Pointing to the burns on his shell for Misfire to see while he grabbed at Hot Spot's legs, Bomb-Burst leapt at Fixit when his opponent insulted him and was annoyed when Tailgate told him to blow up his shell, but was shocked when Fixit disintegrated his shell by absorbing it's life energy. However, he then noticed the energized water from Hosehead and Misfire's Photon Flood attack filling the arena and transformed to avoid it, but made sure to stay close to Tailgate in case she needed help. Pointing out that Fixit was the one still standing in laser water, Bomb-Burst yelled to his teammates to try and find out where to shoot, but cheered when he learned that his team had won, though he asked Hosehead to get rid of the water so he could land. Watching the water drain, he then asked Hosehead and Misfire to help him find an overdue datapad he had lost, admitting to Misfire that reading in his shell made handling datapads tricky. Tugging on Misfire's arm to get him to come with him and explaining how Steeljaw's Engex had made him lose track of his device, Bomb-Burst was then shocked when Sky High informed him that he'd have to bring a date to the upcoming gala, but he still explained to Superlink that it was a formal dance. Telling Sky High that he wouldn't dance with his dad and not being able to say out loud that his mom had passed away, Bomb-Burst excused himself when he decided to ask a girl to be his date. After getting turned down twenty-three times, Bomb-Burst found Sonar and awkwardly asked her to go to the gala with him as a friend, but was turned down once more. He then rushed back to his friends and pleaded with Misfire to come along with him for a different activity so he wouldn't be surrounded by all the girls who turned him down, before the guys headed off to the dorms to look for Bomb-Burst's datapad. Agreeing to let Superlink come along if his roommate wasn't inside, Bomb-Burst figured they should search under the junk beneath his desk. Informing Longshot that he had gotten a job for some extra cash and questioning if his friend had as well, Bomb-Burst yelled to Misfire what his favorite movies were, but agreed with Hosehead that they weren't very good. Telling Superlink that all dorm rooms were the same and that the broken hard disks were his roommate's as he checked under his pillow, Bomb-Burst turned white when Hosehead found Ether Walker's locket, and curled up on his bed while quietly asking to have it back. He then admitted why it was so important and let Misfire hug him before telling his friends what had happened. Letting Longshot know that he had found the right datapad and thanking him and Misfire for their support, Bomb-Burst then suggested getting a bite to eat after he returned the datapad.*

*Putting away his locket carefully, Bomb-Burst asked his friends where they wanted to go and headed down with them to their usual bar, asking Misfire if he was sure the sun was setting and that the Forest of Trials wasn't on fire yet again. He then complained with Misfire about how boring their Shadowing Program experience was, even slapping his head on the table, and claimed that people on Earth said "speak of the duvet". He then asked to have a "Micron" after learning Bumblebee had one, and insisted to Leobreaker that they weren't called Minicons. After the power went out and Drop-Kick was thrown through their window, Bomb-Burst joked to Longshot that he thought it was a regular occurrence and asked his friends if they should teach Spectyr a lesson. Forming a shell when the racer started shooting at them, Bomb-Burst caught the bag of shanix Spectyr tossed at him and was unsure of what to do with it, attempting to ask the others for ideas. When an Autotrooper asked him what he was doing with the bag, Bomb-Burst tossed it to him and claimed to have heard that a lot before leaping out the window. Wondering if TEKU was running away, Bomb-Burst suggested to Hosehead that they try a new move they'd been practicing on the Downbeat clone coming at them, and he proceeded to take it out with one punch using water knuckledusters as he let Misfire know that the racers were fleeing, assuring him that the battle was over. Unsure of what Superlink had been up to, Bomb-Burst told Longshot not to call Nightracer crazy due to her having stuffed him in a locker, and warned Hosehead not to spray him with water to clean him up, but was ignored.*

At some point Bomb-Burst and Roulette started going out.

*The next day, Bomb-Burst informed Longshot that going to the gala was mandatory while he waited for his friend to get his cuffs on, and hoped that the music, food, and guests would be good as advertised.*

Later in Knowing Me, Knowing You, Bomb-Burst accepted Roulette's invitation to go to the gala with her, and they danced together during the event. He watched as Star Convoy gave his speech to the attendees, only for it to be interrupted by "Umbra Convoy" revealing how many deaths Star Convoy was responsible for, but Bomb-Burst was among the students that agreed with Hot Shot that Star Convoy was still a hero.

Afterwards, the partygoers all had too much to drink and Bomb-Burst was dragged by Roulette out to the forest in the middle of the night. He accepted her apology for it in Light it Up.

Having joined Artillery's Resistance by the time of A War of Ideals Bomb-Burst was one of the many students who attended the fight between Artillery and Marina, and came down to join Artillery's team when Clipper permitted they get reinforcements. To try and give the team an edge, Bomb-Burst initiated a Powerlink with Thunderhoof, resulting in the formation of Thunder-Burst. Unfortunately, this proved to be ineffective against Holi's stun touch, and Bomb-Burst was left lying in a daze. That's when the battle was interrupted by the arrival of King Atlas, and Bomb-Burst was sent flying by an explosion. When the *Sentinel Maximus* crashed onto King Atlas, Bomb-Burst was awestruck by the sight.

*In Unknown Animal Bomb-Burst attended a class taught by Cerebros on harmonic sensory equipment. When a noise came from Hosehead that caused him to get called on by the teacher, Bomb-Burst asked his friend if he was alright.*

The night before the Festival of the Stars Bomb-Burst came with Roulette to a campfire organized by Bumblebee, who he commended on a choice of activities. After Arcee told the group her backstory and offered everyone the chance to tell theirs, Bomb-Burst went next, explaining how he came to the school. On the day of the Tournament of Heroes, Bomb-Burst signed up to compete, and found himself facing off against Slingshot. When the fight began he flew around the arena and allowed Slingshot to pursue him, giving Bomb-Burst the chance to grow a pretender shell so when his opponent got close, he could detonate it. This knocked Slingshot out and Bomb-Burst thanked Surge for declaring him the winner. In-between fights he chatted with fellow second round competitors Arcee and Moonracer, which Fortress Maximus pointed out to Hot Shot. He attempted to buy an action figure of himself from "Daytrader", but was stooped by Roulette. For his next battle, Bomb-Burst found himself battling Flare-Up, who he apologized to for being the one who would be moving up before the fight began. Encasing himself in a shell, Bomb-Burst charged at Flare-Up, but secretly removed the shell when she jumped over it and started kicking it's face, before blowing it up when she broke off its head and found out he wasn't inside. However, Flare-Up wasn't down and began tossing fireballs at him, prompting Bomb-Burst to dodge them and ram her in jet mode, creating another shell to push her out of the arena. Unfortunately, he had formed the shell close enough for Flare-Up to get fireballs inside it, and when she blew them up Bomb-Burst was knocked out.

### The Siege

#### Aborted Timeline

During the Siege of Acadeimos Bomb-Burst was captured by the Decepticons.

#### Revised Timeline

When the timeline was altered in Return to Autobot Academy, following the tournament Bomb-Burst was among the students Empath Convoy gathered to stop Soundwave and his team from taking over the teleporters, donning his pretender shell to engage Laserbeak. After the school was closed for repairs, Bomb-Burst decided to go with Lightbright and Arcee to travel the galaxy aboard Lodestar, and said goodbye to Hosehead before heading to the boarding area.

### Summer Break

In A Bright New Tomorrow Bomb-Burst boarded Lodestar. When the Titan was docked at an Energon depot orbiting Orix to stock up on supplies, he explored the station with Riptide until they found a large supply of Energon cubes, at which point he reported his findings to Arcee. Informing Riptide that he didn't agree to calling themselves Team Riptide, Bomb-Burst pointed out to Lightbright that even if they informed the station's owners of the supplies being taken, they could still be charged with trespassing. However, when Aranea revealed that SerketCorp owned the station, Bomb-Burst donned his shell when Arcee ordered him to start loading up the Energon cubes, only to be disappointed when Lightbright suggested not using the shell so as not to detonate the cubes.

During Lights, Camera... Terror! Bomb-Burst invited several crewmates to watch some of his favorite horror movies, only for them to talk over one due to their poor quality. Listing all the movies they'd watch next, Bomb-Burst was then told by Longshot to stop due to all of them being horrible quality. However, when Longshot remarked that they could make a better film, Bomb-Burst was inspired to do just that, and went to Muzzle's room for her help. After discussing the gray paint Muzzle was covering her room/office with, Bomb-Burst told her that he needed help coming up with a big twist for his movie, unaware that he was leaning on wet paint as he did so. Once she agreed to help, Bomb-Burst helped her carry a table to the mess hall, where they set up a holoboard on Wasp's foot and tossed the crumpled up paper with their rejected ideas as they brainstormed a twist. With Muzzle assuring him that she'd be able to come up with a clever twist, Bomb-Burst decided to use his current script to start the casting, and enlisted the help of Arcee to spread the word, which she used to get a producer role. Finding Lug acceptable and being coerced into casting Aileron by Arcee, Bomb-Burst was able to cast all the actors, and upon going outside found that their current stop, Archa Seven, to have the perfect atmosphere for the film. Telling everyone to get on set, Bomb-Burst had Longshot start filming and directed the scene where Rampage attacked Wasp. Instructing the other actors for the next scene and making sure Misfire and Dunecircuit were ready with the effects, Bomb-Burst then explained that Longshot was holding the camera for the Shakycam effect before calling action. Telling the actors to take a break once their scene was done, Bomb-Burst checked in with Muzzle to see if the twist was ready before calling Rampage to the set, only to get annoyed when the shooting was delayed due to the monster costume malfunctioning.

Checking in with Muzzle again, Bomb-Burst then told Arcee that none of the Arachnicons on the crew had agreed to help with the movie when Dunecircuit started yelling about giant spiders, only for Misfire to shout that the creatures weren't part of the movie. Telling Longshot that Lightbright could do the lecturing about the danger, Bomb-Burst used his shell to throw a spider creature, only to realize that they'd all just be overrun by the creatures with their current strategy. Obeying Arcee's order to move the line back, Bomb-Burst fought off more spider creatures with the help of Rampage, but was annoyed when both Longshot and Arcee were taken away before they could finish telling him what to do, leaving only him and Rampage left to fight the spider creatures. Bomb-Burst was then tackled by one of the creatures, but he removed his shell and left it behind to blow up once Moonracer teleported him and Rampage back to Lodestar. Getting on board to evade the spider creatures that had followed them, Bomb-Burst congratulated Longshot for his shooting, and upon seeing the camera drone had followed them back while still filming, he decided to film out the window to catch the creatures attacking the Titan. Once he finished filming, Bomb-Burst decided to make his movie a found footage film by stitching the footage together, only to get a call from Lightbright asking about what had happened. Explaining he didn't want to use the holochamber and have a bad background, Bomb-Burst accepted his punishment of cleaning the fuel tank twice and decided to use the holochamber from then on for the safety of the actors. With the help of Arcee, Bomb-Burst was able to gather the crew for his premiere of Planet of Spiders, and considered Longshot's claim that the film was better than the other movies he had shown a win, only to then find out that Muzzle hadn't thrown in a twist. He then wondered what to do for his next movie, and was inspired once again by Longshot to create Explosions! The Movie.
