—Thunder Bomber
Thunder Bomber is a lightning-type bomber that first appeared in Bomberman Online as a participant of the BOMB-A-LYMPICS. He later appeared with a completely different role and personality as a minor villain in the anime Bomberman Jetters.
Personality[]
In Bomberman Jetters overall, he is the most vicious but intelligent member of the Bomber Shitennou team, and the leader. He seems to be the most mature out of the Bomber Shitennou, if not the most paranoid, rivaled only by Grand Bomber, who is far more reasonably mature than even Thunder: where his siblings either played with or befriended their rivals, Thunder Bomber took his job seriously. He respects Mujoe and is often worried about Grand Bomber when he, not only befriended White, but even thought about joining the Jetters. He was also convinced that Max was trying to kick Mujoe out of his job, and even claimed it to be a conspiracy.
Appearances[]
Bomberman Online[]
Thunder Bomber is the leader of the Electric Dragons and boss of Survival Rule stage, Thunder Volt Power Plant. However, he is beaten by White.
Bomberman Jetters anime[]
Thunder Bomber is slightly redesigned for the Bomberman Jetters anime, with more expressive eyes, a mouth resembling a metal grill, differently colored hands, and a different shaped crest atop his head (the same as Grand Bomber).
The final member of the Bomber Shitennou to fight, Thunder Bomber is treated more like an assistant by Mujoe, despite him treating Mermaid Bomber, Flame Bomber and Grand Bomber like children. He sees Max as a threat, almost on the same level as he sees the Jetters. He first appeared in episode 13, along with his two brothers and sister. When Mujoe is kicked out of the Hige Hige Bandits and is downgraded to a mailman by Mechado, he's seen being with Mujoe, proving he's loyal and confident in his leader.
In the end, when White Bomber goes under a disguise and gets into the Hige Hige HQ in order to see if Max is indeed his missing brother, Mighty, Thunder Bomber sneak attacks Max and gets into a short fight with White. Unharmed by White's bombs, Thunder Bomber defeats him in battle. Revealing a far deeper level of cruelty, Thunder Bomber then prepares to end White's life with another bomb. However, when Max suddenly returns and counterattacks, Thunder Bomber is killed by Max's Hyper Plasma Bomb. Unlike the other Shitennou members, the Charaboms he was formed from never showed up, confirming that Max's bomb was so powerful that they were destroyed along with him. However, at the end, the Charaboms that were fused together to make Thunder Bomber managed to miraculously survive the dangerous power of Max's Hyper Plasma Bomb.
Bomberman Jetters (game)[]
In the Bomberman Jetters video game, he is again a member of the Bomber Shitennou and appears as the 2nd miniboss, fought on Area 2-3. Like all the 4 of the Bomber Shitennou, he also appears as a playable character in the Battle Mode. His Killer Shot in Battle Mode causes lightning to fall all around him, which stuns opponents for a long time.

Bomberman Jetters Vol. 1[]
Appears as the 4th and final boss, fought at the end of Stage 4-3. He moves to one side of the screen by jumping and at the middle of the jump, pauses in the air to shoot 4 lightning sparks in 4 directions at the player. When he reaches the end of the screen, he pauses to shoot 3 lightning sparks forward (either left or right depending of his position on the screen) at intervals, and repeats the jumping pattern to the other side of the screen. He takes 10 hits to defeat. In the Bomberman Planet version, he doesn't appear anymore and got swapped with Soti instead.
Trivia[]
- He is one of two Bomberman Online characters to reappear in Bomberman Jetters, along with Bomber Mermaid.
- While his battlefield never appeared in the Jetters anime, the game shows it as a wrestling ring-style arena atop a very high tower in a stormy sky, surrounded by an electric fence.
- One of his lightning attacks in the Bomberman Jetters (game) is later used by Dark Force Bomber.
