History

TV series

Season one

Multiple Spider Bombs were summoned by Dr. Eggman to turn every coconut on Seaside Island into "deadly Explode-o-nuts." However, Team Sonic discovered this plot, though confused at its absurdity, and returned the Spider Bomb-infested coconuts Eggman used against them as they exploded. Some Spider Bomb-infested coconuts remained though, one of which dropped in on Eggman and blew up his recently-bought comic.^[1]

Season two

Coming under Hypnobot's command when he and Dr. Eggman made an alliance, a Spider Bomb joined the villains' army on an invasion of Morristown. During the invasion though, the Spider Bomb got taken out by Amy before it could do any damage.^[2]

Powers and abilities

Each Spider Bomb is capable of self-detonation. Though Eggman claims the force of their detonation is lethal, their explosions can at most only give a person several bruises. They are also equipped with drills that they can use to drill through coconut shells.^[1] As Eggman robots, the Spider Bombs are also able to receive power remotely from Eggman's lair.^[3]

Weakness

Being Eggman robots, the Spider Bombs rely on Eggman's lair to provide them with power. As such, should the lair run out of power, then they will too.^[3]

Trivia

• According to Amy, the Spider Bombs are a subliminal cry for help on Eggman's behalf.^[1]
