The RC Bomb (ラジコンボム, Radio-Controlled Bomb in Japan), also known as Robot Bomb and Radio Bomb, is a type of bomb that appears in some Bomberman games.
Description[]
When the player sets an RC Bomb and holds down the bomb button, the bomb will move away from Bomberman in the direction in which he is facing. It can then be moved with the directional buttons whenever it lands squarely on a tile space. Once the button has been released, the bomb will stop moving. Bomberman cannot move while he is controlling the movements of the bomb.[1]
In Bomberman Quest, it is called the Robot Bomb in the English versions. It detonates immediately once the player lets go of the assigned button. It has a circular explosion. When it is upgraded with a Fire item in the Bomb Workshop, the duration of its explosion is extended, but the size of the explosion does not increase. It is given to Bomberman by the Old Trading Card Man in Peace Town after he has collected all three of the Trading Cards.[2]
In Bomberman Tournament, the RC Bomb does not immediately detonate. It is formed when the Transistor is taken to a Bomb Shop.[3]
In Bomberman Max 2, it is an ability used by some charaboms called the Bomb Control.
In Bomberman Jetters: Game Collection, this type of bomb is MechaDoc's special attack.
In Bomberman 2, this ability can be used by Bomberman after equipping the Radio Bands.
