Appearance[]
Bomby appears to be a simplified fuse bomb with a round black-grayish body and a beige string. The beige string is usually unaffected by gravity. In Late BFDIA, IDFB and later seasons, his shading was a slightly different shade of grey.
He was partially wrapped in white bandages to cover the damage he had in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", all the way until "Don't Dig Straight Down".
He gained a bright purple hue from his prize at Cake at Stake in "Intruder Alert". He was promptly killed by Yellow Face in the same episode and turned into grape flavoring (suggesting the paint is made out of grapes), but he retains the purple hue upon being recovered.
Like Pie, he has a puffy cheek whenever he is eating his banana and cake in early seasons, but in later seasons show him eating food less frequently, or not at all.

- This was changed in BFB, except the color is less visible, but can be seen if you use an art program to check the color.
BFB 4-14
- Bomby was partially exploded from hitting the ground while in swing accident in BFB 3 and was bandaged, but later when back to normal again as of BFB 16 due to his explosion by igniting himself to save his team from the lava in BFB 14.
- His gradient is even less purplish in TPOT.
BFB 15+:
- Bomby is no longer bandaged.
Personality[]
Bomby's personality fluctuates between seasons.
BFDIA[]
In pre-hiatus BFDIA, Bomby is quite jumpy and gets scared very easily, as often seen when his fuse is lit, because it causes him to blow up. This is a regular occurrance as other contestants, some belonging to his own team, use him as a weapon before he can interact with them. His voice is pitched up considerably, and sped up (though his voice lines can be understood if slowed down).
In post-hiatus BFDIA, Bomby undergoes a mild shift in personality, becoming more brave, joyful and independent, as he mentions to Fries in "Taste the Sweetness". He now tries retaliating if other contestants attempt to kill him (though still to mostly no avail), and he makes an effort to keep his own survival in check. He is also shown to be intelligent, being able to understand Bug-ese and Teardrop's sign language.
BFB[]
He is also quite gluttonous, and he is often seen snacking on a banana or cake slice, one time weighing the former more valuable than his life to Black Hole. He eventually gets used to his purpose as a weapon, and at one point willingly ignites himself to save his team in "Don't Dig Straight Down".
TPOT[]
On occasion, he's even learned to strategically leverage his own destruction in emergencies, such as when he destroyed Pillow to stop her killing spree in "Outbreak At Stake". Due to this, he has many more opportunities to engage with other contestants, and generally leads a happier lifestyle. His voice is also slower and a lot easier to understand, suggesting he's learned to control his frantic demeanor.
Official Character Guide biography[]
Bomby looks like an old-fashioned cartoon bomb. He's a lot like Woody, but his primary fear is exploding. Bomby always seems to be holding a slice of cake and a banana. Don't mess with his banana, because he will get angry. Bomby doesn't speak much, and when he does, he's hard to understand because he talks quickly and his voice is very high-pitched. You could say he has a short fuse.
Did You Know?: Bomby's greatest fear is bowls.
Abilities[]
- Strength: Bomby was able to completely lift Barf Bag when she was filled with water in BFB 14, and was also said to be “the strongest one on our team” by Donut. He also gains increased strength when under the effects of a sugar rush.
- Sugar Rush: When consuming sugary fries (or potentially any sugar-coated food in PointyPointyPointy♫, Bomby becomes more hyperactive and cooperative, enabling him to run much faster than normal, have increased eating tolerance (letting him devour an island), and possibly even make his explosions stronger. However, about a minute after consumption, he undergoes a sugar crash, which wears off after about another few minutes, or can be cut short by eating more sugar, or being recovered. No other contestant has demonstrated this ability, at least not when consuming gumdrops.
- Self-Explosion: As he is a bomb, Bomby's fuse can be ignited by any sources of extreme heat and fire for him to explode or would do so instantly the moment he touches them or gets struck in high speeds and in great heights. The force of his explosions are very powerful and akin to nuclear weapons, being powerful enough to blow people away, destroy entire structures effortlessly, and kill anything without a trace. Even partial explosions from him are powerful enough to destroy the likes of an entire swing set. However, also due to his physiology, Bomby instantly dies when he explodes, making it very detrimental or suicidal for himself and others when he is used in high-risk situations in which there isn't a recovery center or other means of revival nearby.
- Paint Explosion: If Bomby is mixed with paint, then he'll make a non-lethal (Around others and structures, but not himself) explosion that spreads a lot of paint around the location. This has been demonstrated in "Meaty".

Battle for Dream Island[]
Bomby makes his debut as a cameo in "Insectophobe's Nightmare". He was recommended by jaysillyboy in that episode. He was seen eating a banana and a piece of cake, and Pin was on top of him.
"Lofty" was the first episode that Bomby had a major appearance in; he was sitting on the ground when Firey fell down after his balloon got popped and accidentally ignited Bomby's string. Bomby then freaks out and explodes later on.
In "Vomitaco", Bomby is in the crowd of recommended characters at Cake at Stake.
In "Bowling, Now with Explosions!", Bomby appears in a crowd of recommended characters who are watching the Cake at Stake. They are all sealed in a metal box by the Announcer, which randomly sets on fire in the stinger ending.
In "The Reveal", Bomby was one of the 30 recommended characters who had a chance to enter the game. He was recommended by englishcreamcakes, jaysillyboy, jmarston123, DylanMultiProduction, Luigifan00001, simondomino and Voxezi. Other names for him included TNT, Teh Boom, Nuclear Bomb, and Bob-omb.
In "Reveal Novum", Bomby placed 2nd in voting with 73 votes, only losing to David, who received 29 more votes (102). However, he does not get sent to the Locker of Losers because he blew up almost instantly after being flung away.
In "Gardening Hero", Bomby, as Bomb, is in the group of gasping recommended characters.
In "Don't Pierce My Flesh", Firey lit up Bomby's string (again), causing him to explode. As a result, Spongy fell and crushed the Announcer, thus causing Firey and Flower to make replacement speaker boxes.
In "Return of the Hang Glider", Bomby sits by himself on the bleachers among the many recommended characters who are watching the final Cake at Stake.
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Bomby was one of the characters that could join the game. He got 582 votes, placing 6th place. Bomby initially was on the "newbies" team but switched to the stronger team after Firey read that they can switch teams. His team won the challenge, so he was safe from elimination.
In "Get Digging", numerous clones of Bomby (alongside other characters on the opposing teams) laugh at W.O.A.H. Bunch as they walk to the Cake at Stake area. Bomby wasn't seen much in the challenge, as Bomby was told by Fries to dig underground like the others from their team, due to the prospect of "ingredients" down there.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", Bomby received only 237 likes, placing 4th for the prize. He got 60 dislikes, the 3rd fewest, receiving a slice of cake. In the challenge, he followed his team into their glass box to help kill the bugs. Later on, Nickel suggested that they should ignite Bomby to kill all of their bugs. Firey follows suit by using his body to burn his string, and he explodes, as a sacrifice for winning the challenge for Team No-Name.
In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", Bomby was revived from Teardrop's new Hand-powered Recovery Center. Coiny realized that they needed to recruit more team members, so he asked Bomby to join W.O.A.H. Bunch. Bomby angrily refused, but Coiny threatened to ignite Bomby with Firey. Fearful, Bomby agrees and ran over to Coiny's team. In the challenge, Coiny noted that No-Name's Dream Island was much better than theirs. To destroy it, he threw Bomby into Golf Ball's Underground Factory. He lands in the incinerator and explodes, destroying Dream Island, and all members of No-Name, along with Yellow Face.
In "Get in the Van", Bomby is revived by Leafy and Bubble. Bomby's team was safe from elimination, and his team began walking to Yoyle Mountain.
In "No More Snow!", Bomby and Coiny tried to lift Pin out of some glue, but ran away when a tree falls. Later, Bomby ran away and panicked because a random bowl of petunias fell. Coiny then told Bomby to stop panicking and Bomby comes back to walk with the rest of W.O.A.H. Bunch. Bomby falls into the Evil Canyon with his teammates, but is saved when Spongy is impaled on the spikes. Bomby says "Needy" and gets slapped out of the canyon by Needle. Bomby was one of the few contestants who didn't die in the episode and operated the HPHPRCC at the end.
In "It's a Monster", Bomby goes through the entire 78 days cranking the HPHPRCC until an HPRC drops out. Bomby later helps with recovering Puffball so that they could threaten her into taking them to Yoyleland, but she ends up getting his team frozen by Gelatin.
In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Bomby tries to lift Yellow Face out of the glue he's stuck in but it's no use. When Pin asks Bomby to throw a stick across the Goiky Canal, he screams "NO!" His team eventually reaches the summit of Yoyle Mountain and places 2nd.
In "Well Rested", Bomby continues falling with everyone from the summit of Yoyle Mountain. Bomby and Nickel play a prank on Book and Coiny. Once everyone falls back down to Yoyleland, and Team No-Name's elimination is over with, Bomby and Coiny take Rocky, after he agrees to join W.O.A.H. Bunch. During the challenge, the team decides to find shelter and sleep in an abandoned Aerospace Manufacturing Plant. However, as they are all about to fall asleep, a cloud forms inside the building, due to it being large enough to sustain weather systems. Luckily the team uses a dehumidifier to shrink the cloud. Unfortunately, the FreeSmart Supervan crashes into it, and eventually starts turning it, because of the weight.
Bomby calls for the rest to help him get it back in place, but their efforts fail. Both teams now are on opposite ends of the balanced dehumidifier, and start fighting. Bomby fights Ruby using one of Yellow Face's products, although being a "stick". The teams eventually stop fighting, and W.O.A.H. Bunch tries to disrupt FreeSmart's sleep with spooky stories about Evil Leafy. This, however, actually attracts Evil Leafy to their location, and puts both teams at a stalemate on the dehumidifier (which is now dunking each team as Evil Leafy teleports to them). Ice Cube eventually gets her team the win, and W.O.A.H. Bunch is put up for elimination.
In "Intruder Alert", he wins the prize with the most amount of likes ever. His prize was getting a different color, which excites him. His new color becomes purple, and Nickel tells Bomby how he looks like a cute little yoyleberry. Bomby doesn't like this nickname. Later in the episode, Yellow Face captures Bomby because he is purple, then turns his gunpowder into grape flavored powder. His team has to suck out all the water in the Aerospace Manufacturing Plant. They say the water tastes gross, and Yellow Face pours the "grape" flavored powder in the water. Their team wins the contest.
In the stinger, Coiny congratulates W.O.A.H Bunch for winning the contest, and Needle says they should congratulate by eating fiery hot chili peppers. This makes Coiny feel queasy, and he asks where Bomby has been this whole time. Then he asks if the grape flavored powder was Bomby's gunpowder. Nickel says that fiery hot chilli peppers and gunpowder is not a good combo, and they all explode. Their elimination chamber exploded in the process, too.
In "Meaty", Bomby is still purple. In the challenge, he expects an apology from Yellow Face. However, Yellow Face pushes him off, which causes him to explode and paint the tower. They do this repeatedly and they stay in the lead. However, Puffball Speaker Box can't see purple because of her glasses, so she assumes that W.O.A.H. Bunch loses. Him and his team are up for elimination.
In "Catch These Hands", Bomby is first seen at the Clubhouse of Awesomeness during cake at stake. He states that he is too young to die when he learns that they are sinking in vomit, which Spongy agrees. Bomby then wins the prize, with 27,405 likes. His prize is swapping the vocal cords of 2 team members, and he chooses Needle and Coiny. Puffball Speaker Box asks Bomby how he keeps winning the prize, which Bomby simply replies with a "Wow!". Later on, Bomby volunteers to be the first person to do charades. When him and Needle are the last two standing on W.O.A.H. Bunch they go on a correct guessing streak. Later on, Needle gets distracted and can't figure out what Bomby is doing, but Team No-Name all die before Bomby is crushed.
In "Taste the Sweetness", him, Needle, Ice Cube, Ruby are the only survivors, and they dance together. When Puffball Speaker Box says it time for Cake at Stake, they tell her that they are the only survivors. Puffball Speaker Box tells them that they can use Lewis' second car. When Needle says "But Lewis owns that car!", Bomby replies with "Not for long!", and stabs Puffball Speaker Box with Needle. Then, he uses Puffball Speaker Box's vomit to push Lewis out of the car, and to propel the car when they get in. Later on, he switches to FreeSmart alongside with everyone except Fries.
They rename the team to The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute. Later on, Fries kidnaps him and tells him to get digging. Bomby says that won't work, and that he is a more independent thinker now. But Bomby somehow obeys Fries offscreen. When Needle comes to get Bomby back, Bomby doesn't listen, and he keeps digging the air. Fries then gets Needle to get digging as well. Later on, because he is technically still a The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute member, he is up for elimination.
In "Lots of Mud", Bomby and his team, The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute, are nervous about elimination. Ice Cube's "beautiful face" briefly calms them down, but they worry again whenever she stops. At the Cake at Stake, Bomby is revealed to be safe with only 6,651 dislikes. Later, during the team switching, Bomby joins Coiny, Nickel, Needle and Pin and they rename themselves W.O.A.H. Bunch (Water's Open Aperture Hater Bunch).
During the challenge, Coiny rips off one of Flower's petals, and Bomby sets off a firecracker with it, creating an explosion reading "Flower Is So Ugly!". Due to this, Flower puts locks on her petals so W.O.A.H. Bunch searches for the keys in the lake. Bomby shoves Needle into the lake when she complains about her lung capacity, then makes snorkels from spare bananas. Fries sabotages Needle's snorkel, and Bomby punches Fries away and fixes it. Bomby tries to help Pin with her snorkel, but it doesn't fit because her face is missing. Bomby splats her with a banana. Black & White Cookie and Vegemite on Toast mistake Bomby's snorkels for luck-giving mini-portals, causing the team to cough up fish flakes. With not enough bananas for everyone, Bomby and Nickel decide to exchange air through the same snorkel, however this backfires and they both drown. Eventually, the challenge ends and WOAH Bunch are found to be safe.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 4", Bomby, along with all of the safe contestants, attend FreeSmart's elimination and he later spins the contest wheel for when the bugs take over the show as hosts. During this, he reveals that he speaks fluent 'bug-ese', and the bugs help Bomby to teach Nickel how to speak in the language as well by manipulating his mouth. When the Bug-Filled Dodgeball Insanity game begins, Bomby starts along with every other contestant by aiming at Fries (due to him returning to the solo team "Fries"), before he then throws an extra heavy clump of bugs at Fries for forcing him to dig twice in the show beforehand (in Get Digging and Lots of Mud). Fries retaliates with a homerun-style fryball maneuver, which Bomby dodges, instead hitting Tennis Ball.
During the 7-minute-mark dodgeball montage, Bomby repeatedly throws clumps of bugs at Fries, which the latter deflects with his stale fry-bat. One of these stray clumps motivates Nickel to take cover in Tennis Ball's recovery center. Tennis Ball tries forcing Nickel out by vacuuming bugs inside the center, which Bomby says will cause the center to explode under pressure. Coiny says "You'd be the expert in that, wouldn't you?", which Bomby responds to by slapping Coiny and calling him rude, suggesting that Bomby is ashamed of his own explosive vulnerableness. After all the contestants evacuate the So-Ha Fashion Store, Bomby doesn't waste any time gunning for Fries with bug clumps.
Bomby and Coiny decide to chase Fries into the Evil Forest, and reach the Evil Canyon, where Fries uses his vacuumpack to float away. Coiny initially lets Fries get away, but Bomby tells Coiny to use Pin to pop Fries' backpack, to which Coiny says that he could never, as all W.O.A.H. Bunchers have to stick together. Bomby ignores this, and grabs Pin's shrunken, faceless, limbless body to throw it at the pack, popping it open and sending Fries into Pan Flute's symphony hall. Coiny says Bomby has a nice shot, which he says thanks to, before Evil Leafy spontaneously appears. Coiny hops off the canyon, using Needle's flooded HUD icon to make a safe landing, but Bomby refuses to jump, and gets absorbed by Evil Leafy, dying in the process. Coiny later dies to Needle's bug in an act of her wanting to be promoted to Bember, causing W.O.A.H. Bunch to be up to elimination.
In "Well, Look Who It Is!", Bomby isn't present for the majority of the episode, due to the episode largely being focused on tying up the series' loose ends. However, he does get recovered by Ruby at the HPRC near the start of the episode, and looks visibly disturbed, along with all of the other contestants, when she attempts recovering Horrifying Sludge. He also helps in carrying Yellow Guy to the Weak Trembling Fortress, being the last one in the chain and making a funny face before throwing him in. The BFDIA contestants laugh at the WTF prisoners for getting eliminated, but. when Pencil joins in, all the other contestants to look disapprovingly at her.
Bomby's only speaking role in the episode is when him and all the other missing contestants are travelling along the Goiky Highway to get back to the Symphony Hall in time for Cake at Stake, where he tries on Golf Ball & Tennis Ball's Super Stick Shoes So-Ha, and says "These are so comfortable, and they work too!". Additionally, the phrase Coiny recites at the Compactor Area to send Pin into The Earth's Inner Core is the same phrase Bomby first used to compact Pin out of spite (Apple, Orange, Banana, Banana), minus the extra higher-pitched "Banana", likely due to Pin's net mass being easier to crush in her shrunken state, thus not requiring 4 incorrect guesses instead of 3 to crush.
In "PointyPointyPointy ♫", Bomby is up for elimination due to WOAH Bunch being one of the two teams UFE from the challenge 2 episodes ago. Before the elimination, the prize is given to Pin, and him along with all the other WOAH Bunchers chant "Pin shall rise!" and "Return of the WOAH!" when Pin is given her new form. Bomby also helps Pin control the mech properly, with Pin claiming he "fixed" it. When it comes to the elimination, Bomby is impatient and asks for the results already, and nearly gets eliminated, but sticks it out with a mere 304 votes of a difference as Golf Ball is eliminated instead.
When the challenge begins, Bomby is paired up with Fries since all the other duos were chosen, leaving him with Fries. He laments at this, saying "Wait, but that means I have to team with... the KIDNAPPER!", referencing the multiple times Fries kidnapped him to do something he didn't want to do. Fries responds by saying Bomby literally tried to murder him. Their team logo looks like a fries holder with a bomb wedged in the middle.
As Fries and Bomby are darting towards the spire, Fries tries directing Bomby to climb it in a similar fashion to his "get digging" line, but Bomby retaliates by saying "Whoa whoa whoa! I'm not your servant, you do it!", to which Fries gets the idea to feed Bomby sugar-coated Fries as a lure so Bomby cooperates with him. Bomby says he hates fries, but Fries forces one into his mouth, which causes him to become hyperactive, shooting up the spire's rope with Fries riding on top of him.
Bomby passes out upon reaching the first island due to a sugar crash. Fries rejuvenates him with another sugar fry, and orders him to dig for resources, but Bomby looks at him with a cold glare. Fries then feeds Bomby another sugar fry, which then motivates him to get digging and immediately set off on a jetpack to the second island, with Fries riding on top of him. Bomby passes out once again when reaching the second island, which prompts Fries to yet again feed Bomby a fry. This energizes Bomby to devour an island, clearing the objective, but he then sprints off the island by accident, missing the waterfall, and causes a massive explosion as he hits the ground.
Fries recovers Bomby, who has now calmed down, as they go to the third island. When Teardrop tries telling Fries the objective, he's confused, but Bomby translates Teardrop's sign language for Fries, stating that they have to make the island's inhabitants stop talking so Teardrop's siblings can be at peace. This suggests that Bomby can read sign language, which Teardrop affirms by giving Bomby thumbs up. Bomby and Fries try making Whistle stop talking, and Bomby forces him to stop talking using duct tape, but Whistle then rips off the tape and makes an ear-piercing noise.
Bomby pins down Whistle as Fries kicks the latter out of the stratosphere, letting them progress to the next island as Whistle cannot make any more noise when multiple lightyears away. Bomby and Fries try using the Springy Shoes Honeydrop gave him to get to the next island, but they can't cover the distance alone. Tennis Ball tries sabotaging the pair as him and Nickel make it to their island, but Bomby punts him from midair, giving the pair just the height they need to get to the Matchstick Factory island.
Fries steals Coiny & Pin's raft the moment him and Bomby enter the island, getting through it quickly, but Bomby feels bad for the pair as "WOAH Bunchers have to stick together!", causing him to rip a chunk off the raft and giving it to Coiny & Pin, letting them progress as well. Fries looks unamused at this. Once they reach the final island, Fries quickly disables the "Puffball Voice Effect" switch, once Bomby notices there's an effect on the island that makes everyone sound like Puffball. Bomby tries singing a song about explosions to pass, which Puffball denies, and Fries sings a song about how much Puffball sucks, which she also denies, more vehemently.
Bomby eventually notices that Puffball prefers songs that tailor to her, causing him to intercept all the negative words in Fries' song with positive ones, to make his song sound like it's praising Puffball. She finds this to be an improvement, letting the pair pass for 2nd place. Once Bomby & Fries reach the bunk bed, they high five, and Fries suggests "You know... maybe we don't have to kidnap and murder eachother?", implying that the two have mellowed out and aren't as much of a rivalry as before, thanks to the challenge.
In "Spore Day", Bomby receives a teardrop cake due to having been one of the eight safe contestants. At the beginning of the challenge, he plans to team with his W.O.A.H. Bunch teammates Pin and Coiny, only to be separated and put on The Quasi-Rhombicosidodecahedrons with Tennis Ball and Needle. Upset by Needle's defection to FreeSmart, he asks her why before she runs off, claiming to still be loyal to W.O.A.H. Bunch.
Upon realizing that contestants are allowed to shrink themselves to enter the birdhouse, Bomby recalls seeing Ruby drop her shrink ray upon her elimination, and he heads with his team to retrieve it. Tennis Ball shrinks him when they return, and when The Hearts and The Stars steal the shrink ray and fight over it, he suggests not to get involved. Tennis Ball states another shrink ray is in Golf Ball's Underground Factory, and Bomby rolls through a ventilation shaft to successfully get it, expressing half-forgiveness for Needle's defection, stating she'll receive his full forgiveness through an act of generosity. Needle then tries to fit Bomby into the birdhouse but fails, and he reminds her to use the Shrink-a-Tron to shrink him further.
Coiny ties Bomby to a small swivel chair that fell out of the birdhouse after Fries took it. Tennis Ball accidentally fires at him with a growth ray, and he dodges the shot by spinning in the chair. Bomby is killed by an enlarged creature Fries shot with the growth ray, and is dissolved by its acidic vomit. Upon being recovered, he jumps towards the droplet and has Needle shrink his team so they can join everyone else in it, and then gets poisoned by lead paint leaking from the birdhouse. After being unpoisoned, he shrinks Pin and Pencil before being shrunk by Pencil himself, leading to a situation where everyone shrinks themselves to an atomic size. Bomby is poisoned again after touching a lead atom, remaining in that state for the rest of the episode.
IDFB[]
In "Welcome Back", Bomby walks up to Fries' garden, and Fries remarks that he hasn't heard Bomby say anything for a long time. Fries asks how many lines he has in the episode and Bomby says "Two". Fries then asks Bomby if he could help him loosen the soil. Bomby suddenly explodes offscreen later, which presumably helped Fries with the soil.
Battle for BFDI[]
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Bomby is first seen reacting with fear to Naily nearly being punished by Pencil. He then notices Loser and holds a sign up saying "Loser" in all capitals when everyone is reacting to his appearance. Later he is seen with everyone else when Four announces the prize. He reacts the same way as everyone else does. When teams are forming, he, along with Firey Jr., joins Spongy's team, which later gets named "Team Ice Cube!" by Bracelety. Firey Jr. later tells Bomby to grab Bracelety while she's still incapacitated, to which Bomby complies. When they're doing the challenge, Gelatin says that they can ignite Bomby to get up to the basket. Bomby runs away scared. They end up winning the challenge anyway.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Bomby cheers along with everyone else after Donut's speech. However, their team's plan doesn't work, as they only did 47/50 swings, their swing set is destroyed, and Bomby is partially exploded for unknown reasons. His team is up for elimination.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", he, along with everyone else on his team except Donut, is seen climbing Bell's string during Cake at Stake. Bomby is first safe with only with 684 votes. He is seen with bandages where he exploded in the previous episode (which have stayed on him until Don't Dig Straight Down). Once Lightning electrocutes Bell, he is seen shocked and falls along with the rest of the climbers.
In "Fortunate Ben", Gelatin suggests that Bomby should be used to blow up the other team's paper airplanes, to which Bomby appears apprehensive towards and Donut angrily declines it, stating that Bomby is their friend.
In "Four Goes Too Far", Bomby is only present in the heart scene.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Bomby is one of the people to greet Loser. After Loser says a lie, Bomby is seen surrounding him. He also triggers the intro, by flying up from a popper and doing Four's intro pose. He is later seen when Taco is crushed by the Liar Ball.
In "Questions Answered", Bomby can be seen moving from the moon to earth and when Barf Bag answers correctly for their team.
In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Gelatin says that they should use Bomby. Everyone else on the team is expecting this to end with him blowing up, but he says that Bomby should be used to throw balls into the basket, which he does.
In "Enter the Exit", Bomby first appears arguing with Dora due to the contestants wanting to revive Four after learning that X cannot recover contestants. He later appears when Naily is revived by Four, whereupon he hugs her, repeating his first line in BFB: "Oh my gosh, Naily!"
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Bomby was chosen off-screen as the participant in the challenge by his team to climb the stairs and press the button. Bomby was directly in front of Tennis Ball for most of the challenge. When he was pushed off by Flower, Black Hole used his gravity to sling Bomby back up, preventing Bomby's death but sucking up his banana in the process. Bomby was once again saved in the same fashion when Dora knocked him off in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. Bomby placed 5th for Team Ice Cube!, securing their victory.
In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Bomby gets angry at Black Hole because he sucked his banana up last episode, and demands for another banana. Black Hole protests, saying that he doesn't owe him anything because he saved his life, but Bomby says that "life is cheap" and demands for the banana one last time until Black Hole agrees to find him one. During the last moments of the challenge, the other members of Team Ice Cube suspect that Bomby is the impostor, although Donut doesn't seem to want to believe it. However, before they can decide, iance finds their impostor off-screen so Bomby and his team are up for elimination.
In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Bomby receives 2791 votes in Team Ice Cube's second Cake at Stake. Bomby appears to have a new banana that Black Hole gave him prior to the events of the episode's elimination, only for it to, again, be warped by Black Hole after he gets "souped" by Four, making him shriek in indignation. Bomby, along with the rest of Team Ice Cube, follows Gelatin into the hole dug by Lightning after Fanny says the emeralds are down that hole.
After plunging and descending downwards into the hole, Bomby and Team Ice Cube start to near iance at the bottom of the pit and land on Bubble, who briefly holds them up before being popped by Flower. Bomby and Team Ice Cube recover after being knocked out from the fall and dig in the opposite direction of iance. Bomby and Team Ice Cube then bump and encounter an unknown location as the episode ends as a cliffhanger.
In "Don't Dig Straight Down" Bomby and his teammates find a Buried Forest, Deciduously Insulated. He rolls down the entrance and starts playing with his teammates. After Barf Bag gets punctured, Bomby fills her up with the water, making her conscious again. When Team Ice Cube is surrounded by lava, Bomby sacrifices himself by igniting his string and propelling his team members (excluding Naily, who was quickly pushed off by Gelatin at the last second) to the surface. He remains dead for the rest of the episode.
In "The Escape From Four", Bomby gets recovered. During his recovery, his team gets called for Cake at Stake. Bomby is the second safe with 2,592 votes, and is seen catching his speck of dust. Later in the episode, he is seen attempting to free the eliminated contestants by pulling Spongy out of Four. When Two appears and proposes their new show, Bomby is hesitant at first to join. When Two turns the sun into a spiky ball and repeatedly stabs Four with it, Bomby decides to switch over and become a participant on TPOT.
Battle for BFB[]
In "X Marks the Spot", Bomby is in the crowd of characters who gasp when X is lassoed away by the Four Colored Team.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Bomby and Naily decide they're staying together. He mostly stands quietly as Naily gets their team more members. Book later joins his team, claiming that she and Bomby go way back and asks if he remembers the days they spent cranking the HPHPRCC. Bomby replies "Kinda?". During the challenge, his team takes the elevator to get to the stop. He urges his team to hurry as the elevator door is closing. Along the way, the elevator stops moving due to Snowball forcing the elevator door open. Snowball and Basketball end up fixing the elevator and it gets bounced up to the roof floor, with Bomby's team walking out. They're the 4th team safe.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Bomby and Book start stacking the blocks, but Book accidentally bumps her block into Bomby's, which really angers Bomby and makes Book stop. After a while, Eraser comes and kicks Bomby's stack, which frustrates Bomby so much that he turns and throws his banana. Eraser tells Bomby that they missed, which results in Bomby turning around and kicking Eraser. He is the only one stacking blocks for the most of the time, and his team stacks six blocks in total.
In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", when Cake suggests they make a pile of stuff, Bomby says he loves the idea. At the hotel, Bomby raids Robot Flower's shop and finds "random things behind the desk" including batteries, a jawbreaker, and garbage. Nickel tells him not to call it that, but Naily points out that some of it is literal garbage. Bomby grabs Robot Flower's string with the rest of his team to be pulled back to the challenge area. Just Not gets a 3/10 and is safe from elimination.
In "Gardening Zero", Naily asks Bomby if he is cool with dying for this challenge. Bomby replies with a "sure". Naily then takes his string and holds it up to the sun until it's lit, much to his sudden realization of what's about to happen. She then throws him into a cactus and he blows up, allowing her to get the water from inside for their Funny Plant. His team ends up destroying the funny plant due to Cake finding cursed water on a Yellow Face skeleton and is up for elimination, along with Death P.A.C.T. Again.
In "Fishes and Dishes", Bomby is first shown getting blown up by Pillow, destroying a Funny Plant. During Cake at Stake, he is the third safe with 2,989 votes. During the challenge, after getting blown up by Pillow again, the team manipulates the definition of gravity and starts flying into the sky by repeatedly tossing items. Along the way, the team gets attacked by Fries and Puffball, who bites onto Nickel. In order to help Nickel, Pillow ignites Bomby again and throws him at Puffball. Bomby's team is safe when Pillow drops into the water and retrieves a plate.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", in Tree's treehouse, Bomby's team were continuing their 38-week long campaign of "Goikys and Dragons", where they were defeating a dragon, but he (as the healer of this game) was blown up thanks to Pillow after Price Tag rolled a four. He was shook out by Tree and regrown back to normal size by Two. After Four bans the TPOT contestants (and Two) out the restaurant, Two decided to make everyone make them dinner. Book suggested that maybe they can slay a dragon for dinner, and so the quest began. After the awfully disturbing song, Just Not found the dragon. Pillow throws Cake into the dragon's mouth, not knowing a chocolate ball was also feed to the dragon, causing breathing difficulties. Bomby then says that being the healer, the dragon is mad because it's choking in pain, and prevents the dragon from choking to death. But since Cake is deceased, Just Not made his dead body dinner, giving them a 3/10 (safe). In the end, Bomby and everyone else in X's side were zapped away.
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Bomby asks Price Tag if they should trade a "useless block" for a roller-coaster track. Him and his team goes around to other teams to trade with them. When they finally get a roller-coaster track from Are You Okay, it turns out to be a bomb, and Bomby dies from the explosion. His team, along with The S! loses and are up for elimination.
In "Balancing P.A.C.T.", Bomby was in the bottom 2, but survived with 4,941 votes. Later in the challenge, him and his team except for Pillow hang below the Balance beam. Needle then hits Nickel after he mocks her, which angers Bomby and he says "Don't hit my buddy!". Him and Needle fight, but Bomby loses and falls off. His team is safe from elimination.
In "Outbreak At Stake", his team hides in Gelatin's Steakhouse. However, because of how far the steakhouse is from Two, the signal gets interrupted and his team can't hear the contest. Pillow interprets the contest to kill everyone on the team, which causes Bomby to hide. Later in the episode, Price Tag finds Bomby and tells him that they killed Pillow. Bomby says "Pillow is a tough foe", but it cuts off to Pillow killing Price Tag. Pillow asks Bomby if he wants to "settle it the easy way, or the other easy way". Bomby says that he is going to settle it the "even easier way". He then lights his fuse, exploding, killing both himself and Pillow. His team, along with Tear Drop, loses. However, because Tear Drop was a single member team whose member got eliminated by default, his team is the only team up for voting.
In "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", Bomby and the rest of his team are recovered by Marker. He scolds Pillow along with Nickel, who is among the group of contestants. Then, he attends Cake at Stake and is declared the first contestant safe with 18,858 votes. He attaches his moon shard to the roof. After the intro, he is shown sadly staring at Nickel's elimination before Nickel is eliminated by Two. During the challenge, his team decides to search for Book, leaving her behind. Later, Pillow begins pondering new strategies for bringing good luck. Bomby criticizes this, reminding her that Book had already provided a new strategy, but Pillow dismisses it. Pillow, Bomby, and Price Tag try out various strategies together, including dancing, destroying the environment, starnapping, and bowling, all the while not noticing Book's attempts to get their attention.
Finally, his team licks the jawbreaker and frees Book, but Bomby is confused when Book begins referencing past team members. Book walks away shortly afterward, concluding that Book's nightmare is about her fractured friendships. Unsure of what to do next, Bomby and his team takes too long, as Two announces that his team, along with The Strongest Team on Earth has lost. At the end of the nightmare, he and Pillow watch as Book and Price Tag bond. He questions how this will bring good luck, to which Pillow doesn't have a definite answer. Shortly after, she blends Bomby, defying dream logic by spawning a blender outside her dream until the dream concludes.
In "What's Up Bell's String?", TV unintentionally ignites Bomby's fuse, causing an explosion. Later, he is recovered before the cake at stake is initiated, where Book and Price Tag are announced safe, leaving Bomby and Pillow in the bottom two. Two comments on Just Not's consistent losses, prompting Bomby to blame their constant failures on Pillow.
As the votes are revealed, Bomby is eliminated with only 7,769 votes, much to his disappointment. Before Bomby departs, Book asks Two if she and Price Tag can give him a farewell. However, before they can, Bomby, along with Bell, disappear. Book inquires about their whereabouts, but Two admits they don't know where they are. Confused and concerned, Two calls out their names but receives no response. Unbeknownst to them, however, Bomby is clinging onto Bell behind a bush, where they are confronted by One, who suggests they get to know each other before teleporting all three of them elsewhere. Neither Bomby nor Bell are seen for the rest of the episode.
In "Category One," Pen and Needle are hard at work putting up missing posters for Bomby, Basketball and Bell, but gain no leads despite their efforts. Later in the episode, the situation takes a darker turn when One ominously warns Basketball, "Hurry up, or you can just end up like Bell and Bomby." This cryptic statement suggests that they may be in a dire situation, adding an air of mystery and concern. The exact details of their fate remain unclear, but there is speculation that Bell and Bomby could be facing a fate similar to Needle and Barf Bag's, adding urgency and tension to the ongoing search and challenges faced by the characters.

General[]
- Bomby has blown up 19 and a half times, 19 normal explosions, and he barely exploded in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".
- Bomby was the first ever recommended character, making his first appearance in "Insectophobe's Nightmare".
- But if we count the cake in "Cycle of Life" as Cake, he will be the second.
- Bomby has the highest kill count out of all of the BFDIA newbies at 40+.
- Bomby's favorite screen is a circle, possibly due to him being a bomb, since string bombs have a circular shape.
- His most common phrase was "Oh no Firey, you lit my fuse!" along with just: "OH NO!" during BFDI and early BFDIA.
- His voting icon reuses a pose he made in "Getting Teardrop to Talk". Specifically, when Flower realizes the teams are filling up.
- In earlier seasons, Bomby is frequently seen eating something, specifically a banana in one hand and a slice of cake in the other hand.
- In "Today's Very Special Episode", he is seen wearing a bandage at the side of his body after the attempt of winning in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset". He would keep the bandages until his death in "Don't Dig Straight Down".
- In "Enter the Exit", it's revealed that Donut discovered something very horrific about Bomby, as written in his diary.
- "What Do You Think of Roleplay?" was the first episode where Bomby had a real back and forth conversation with another character.
- Bomby is the only dark character who has black eyes rather than white ones.
- According to Donut, Bomby is the strongest member of Team Ice Cube!.
- According to the Official Character Guide, he has a fear of bowls, as shown in "No More Snow!".[1][2]
- Bomby's explosions have an inconsistent effect on the contestants standing around them. Sometimes his explosions kill everyone standing next to it ("Lofty" and "Zeeky Boogy Doog") or simply propel them away ("Insectophobe's Nightmare 3" and "Don't Dig Straight Down").
- However, his explosion in "Don't Dig Straight Down" could most likely be the case of his power being weakened due to him being partially exploded in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", hence how his team was able to survive.
- In "Meaty", his explosion no longer seems to be destructive as he now explodes on purple paint thanks to the prize he obtained in "Intruder Alert".
- During Bomby's only lines in "Gardening Zero", his voice is noticeably low. This is most likely an audio issue, with someone forgetting to pitch up Satomi's voice, as his was voice was back to normal in the next episode.
- Pillow blowing herself up in Bomby's first explosion in "Fishes and Dishes" marks Bomby's first time killing another character since "Zeeky Boogy Doog". Or "Welcome Back" if Woody died.
- "The Seven Wonders of Goiky" marks the first and currently only time Bomby was killed in an explosion that came from something other than him.
- Bomby is the only male character to have been taken by One to her dimension as of What's Up Bell's String?.
