Bomb (Yoshifan1219)

' Bomb''' is the fourth (or sixth if you count the Jim and Jay) bird to join the Flock. He has the ability to explode when enraged. Later on, Bomb was affected by one of Professor Pamelton's potions and given the ability to unleash an electric shock.

Appearance
Bomb is shaped like a bomb, so he is round and black. He has a gray belly patch, a large yellow beak with a thin top part and a large jaw, gray eyebags, orange eyebrows and he has a fuse feather with a yellow tip as hair, the fuse is used to active his explosion, and has a white spot atop his head. When he is about to explode, his feathers, except the fuse, turn red as he is going to explode.

When he utilizes his Shockwave he is normal except his fuse's tip is blue and electric, which often shoots lightning rays. Instead of turning red, he turns blue, and an x-ray flashes while he shocks the pigs.

Personality
Bomb is a doer. While other people get tied up with theories and rules, he's out there getting things done. Sociable and exciting, he loves being the center of attention and entertaining people with his antics.

Despite his fearsome, bomb-like appearance (hence his name), Bomb is actually a very gentle and kind bird. He is very sincere and genuine in his actions and is willing to put himself in conflict or danger to help out the other birds in his flock.

However, like the rest of the birds, Bomb does have a temper that can be triggered. He can be angered and goes into an uncontrollable rage when others set him off.

Bomb is also very sensitive and reacts explosively (quite literally) when his emotions are heavy, or when he is physically handled roughly. Many things can set him off, such as simple stretches to a surprise birthday party. This is a part of Bomb that he himself does not appreciate, though he eventually learned to somewhat control it.

Bomb loves and devotes himself to the other members of the flock, who take care of his unpredictable behavior. (especially Matilda, who is the most involved in helping Bomb with remedies, teas, or anything to control his mood) He is also a very avid fighter, and loves being a destructive part of battles.

History
Little to nothing is known about Bomb’s history before the events of the first Angry Birds game or how he acquired the power of "mega shockwave," the ability to incinerate items within a radius of his body. When enraged, his top feathers will begin to smoke. He will eventually turn red, then explode with anger. Red, Chuck, Jim, Jay and Jake, and Bomb were also the first to discover the first eggs missing after severely attacking an insect for landing on one of the eggs.

In the course of the battles with the Pigs, he has traveled to many different locations and environments, including the desert, underground caves, and beaches. The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions. In one instance, the Pigs captured the entire Flock, including Bomb. It was only for the actions of Terence, the Big Brother Bird that the Flock was freed.

At an indeterminate time later, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu, Jewel and their friends against Nigel the cockatoo and Mauro and his Common Marmoset. Bomb and White Bird did not appear originally in Rio but arrived shortly after the others, so it is possible they were not captured originally and made their way to Rio to find Red, Chuck, and Jim, Jay and Jake.

In addition to Rio, Bomb has also traveled to China twice and Japan, where he wore a karate Gi.

During the Wreck the Halls adventure, Red and Bomb took the lead in chasing the Pigs through the snow on skis. It was Bomb who eventually caught up with them, recovered the Christmas packages, and destroyed the Pig Fortress.

In another adventure, Bomb and the Flock jumped into Space via a wormhole, gained superpowers as a result of the wormhole, and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs in order to regain their stolen eggs.

Abilities
Bomb is a very strong character, being considered the strongest when the game was first released. He was the only bird at the time that could effectively destroy stone himself, though Matilda's egg bombs can as well.

Bomb's ability works just like a bomb, hence his name. He explodes a couple of seconds after he hits a surface, or when the player taps the screen. The closest objects near him are almost instantly shattered/damaged to the point of breaking, where the further objects around him are forcefully pushed away.

It is suggested that the player uses his ability with the right timing, and not wait for him to explode manually. It is only a rumor that he will explode with more force if he does it at will, and it is possible for him to roll away or bounce off the structure the player intends to destroy.

Short Fuse
In the theme Short Fuse, Bomb is introduced with an entirely different ability named "Shockwave", which he obtains when he fiddles with the pigs' scientific equipment. This ability is much more powerful than his original and works in a similar way. It can be activated when the player taps the screen or a couple of seconds after he hits a surface. When his ability is activated, he sends out a growing circle of electricity to the objects around him, damaging and forcefully pushing them away, where most of the blocks are then completely obliterated. Rather than his original ability, which just breaks the closest bricks, the shockwave damages the blocks, racking up the players' scores significantly higher.

Though the shockwave ability is exclusive to the theme, it can be used as a powerup in all themes of the game. (The player will need to either spend coins, purchase or watch advertisements to get the powerup.)

Trivia

 * It is revealed by Professor Pameltom that Bomb explodes when the things he eats gets converted into energy and is blasted around him. Hence, Not affecting him.
 * This version of Bomb still retains the white spot on his head due to Yoshi preferring his original design.
