Any bomb that is at least as big as a car (either as one explosive or a cluster), is truly made to make a huge blast. The reason is that when you have Stuff Blowing Up, it's often good to have bigger explosions. But that doesn't necessarily mean the actual bomb has to be large, especially these days with high yield explosives. Before then, huge bombs were the easiest way to make it clear the blast would be huge (in fiction and Real Life). With high yield in a large amount, the blast is bigger. May overlap with the Incredibly Obvious Bomb, because it's going to be hard to hide something this big. Compare BFG, BFS, Wave-Motion Gun, and Kill Sat for other incredibly large weapons and Macross Missile Massacre, for when one explosion isn't enough. Not to be confused with a work that flops horribly or the Giant Bomb website, This is about the size of the bomb. If the actual explosion, or its effects, seem too big to be true for the materials of the bomb, you're probably looking at a Ridiculously Potent Explosive. |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, part of Homura's plan to take down Walpurgisnacht involves using a gas truck to wham it(?) into a landmine-filled stadium. Literally. And just so we're clear... that was part of the plan. It was a very explosive laden plan. Unfortunately, it didn't work, but it was nice watching. Who knows how many times she has done this on Walpurgisnacht. Other parts included a Field of Bazookas, oil cistern and a pair of battleship-launced missiles. |

Done in the Monster Hunter series as well, with "Barrel Bombs" (i.e. very large gunpowder kegs). In Freedom Unite, you can recruit an anthropomorphic cat buddy who, with the proper skill, can pull out one of these (it's about twice his size), run up to the enemy, and blow it up. (He gets better). Strap a False Felyne mask to your Shakalaka buddy in Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) (or also Kayamba in the Updated Re-release 3 Ultimate), and he can do it too! | |

The powered-up version of the bomb subweapon in Hyrule Warriors is nearly as tall as Link, wider than everyone except Ganondorf, and is in fact larger than several of the smallest characters (like Midna and Agatha). One of the finishers for Link's Great Fairy weapon rain these down on nearby foes - however, these only apply to the viewpoint of her opponents, as the Great Fairy is large enough to carry Link around in a bottle. Finally, one roughly the size of a keep is used in a cutscene in the first level of Story Mode, created by another Great Fairy. | |

Mega Man (Classic): Bomb Man's super attack in Mega Man Powered Up is producing and throwing a bomb about five times his size. Blast Man performs a similar trick when he uses his power gear in Mega Man 11. Mega Man can do it too once he gets Blast Man's weapon. |

Parodied by D.Gray-Man where Komui attempts to launch a classic bomb on one of the scientists who was walking around town with Komui's younger sister Lenalee to go shopping. Komui assumed that the poor guy was hitting on Lenalee, so he sets out to do all he can to kill him, which explains the bomb. Luckily, Lavi defuses that bomb, only to find that Komui had an extra mini bomb in hand, which he uses to blow half a store. | |

Naruto: Deidara has two of these: C3 plays this straight, as it is the size of a car (though before being used it's about the size of a basketball) and powerful enough to destroy most of a village. On the other hand, C4 subverts this as it's is a doll of Deidara which is about 3 stories tall and explodes ... into a cloud of dust which is actually millions of microscopic bombs that go into the bodies of organisms before exploding. On top of that, his strongest bomb, C0, isn't large either, as it's simply himself. The Kyuubi can make a Tailed Beast Bomb up to 10 times his size. A Combined Tailed Beast Bomb is far larger, and the explosion itself can devastate an entire city's worth of land. Then there's the Juubi's relative-to-body-sized equivalent that can destroy a small country. Kaguya near the end forms a similar-sized bomb made out of solid chakra matter that can open up an entire new dimension. |

The Outer Limits (1995): The episode "The Light Brigade" involves humans fighting a losing war against a race of Lizard Folk. In order to win it, humans build a "sub-atomic bomb", which looks like an early atomic bomb but many times larger, capable of causing an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. Unfortunately, one of the crew is The Mole, and the ship sent to drop the bomb gets disabled. The last surviving crewmember ends up killing the mole, and drops the bomb... on Earth, because The Mole turned the ship around while everyone was knocked out. Thanks a lot, Wil Wheaton! | |

Epic Battle Fantasy 5 features the Bomb family of enemies, roughly human-sized missiles with large warheads mounted on top. Fail to destroy one before its countdown expires, and it will detonate, dealing catastrophic damage to the entire party and inflicting dangerous status effects on any survivors. Inflicting Stun or Freeze will halt the countdown, buying yourself some time, and a Bomb will fizzle out if it attempts to detonate whilst Syphoned. | |

The aptly named 'Big Bob-omb' from Super Mario 64 onwards. He's already pretty big in his debut, but it's in Mario Party where he ends up being shown as absolutely massive. Don't let him explode in the mini games 'Defuse or Lose' or 'You're the Bob-omb', otherwise the player character ends up flying through the air and smashing into the ground hard enough to make a sizable crater. | |

Super Dimension Fortress Macross tends to feature a BFB within a Macross Missile Massacre event toward the end of the series, which carries over to the final episodes of subsequent Macross series; at one point, the gigantic battleship/robot reveals that significant portion of its mass consists entirely of "Reaction" missiles. The resulting explosion wipes a fleet of millions from existence. | |

The SWBM from Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception makes the MPBM look like a pussy, since its Planar Shockwave can cover the entire map. Then again, it is an explicit superweapon. Its little brother the LSWM, which can be fighter-mounted - albeit on a superfighter - is still (slightly) bigger in blast coverage than the MPBM, though. | |

Ace Combat: Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War— the MPBM. A weapon only used by the Cool Plane, the ADFX-0# Morgan. While it's technically a missile, it's more like a Star Fox Smart Bomb—and it's the size of said Cool Plane's Cockpit. The resultant Boom is the second largest blast in the game (the only larger is a Nuke). The Real Life "Daisy Cutter" Fuel-Air Explosive Bomb (see below) is also in this game, and its blast is pretty big, but has nothing on the MPBM's almighty Sphere of Destruction. The SWBM from Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception makes the MPBM look like a pussy, since its Planar Shockwave can cover the entire map. Then again, it is an explicit superweapon. Its little brother the LSWM, which can be fighter-mounted - albeit on a superfighter - is still (slightly) bigger in blast coverage than the MPBM, though. |

World of Warcraft: Skybreaker, the Alliance airship that patrols Icecrown, is armed with a massive bomb (the Horde equivalent has a massive cannon instead). The bomb is easily 2/3rds the length and breadth of the ship. The cannon is large enough that an engineer's one-person helicopter can fly into it without touching the sides. Unfortunately, you never get to see either of these weapons deployed. There's the dragon-sized Mana bomb that destroyed Theramore, it's implied that if Rhonin didn't commit a Heroic Sacrifice to stop the damage at the outside of the city walls, it may have turned the entire marsh into a smoking crater. |

Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 4: The minigame Bowser's Big Blast (known as Bowser's Bigger Blast in the latter). All characters have to press, turn by turn, plungers connected to a massive, enormous bomb with the shape of Bowser's head. One of the plungers detonates the bomb while the others don't, so each character has to choose a plunger and hope that the bomb doesn't explode after the plunger is pressed. If the bomb explodes, the character will be blasted away; the remaining characters have to continue playing until only one remains. The initial number of plungers is five, and will decrease by one every time a character is eliminated. If, by any chance, all safe plungers are pressed, a new set will be brought to the scene to repeat the sequence. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Powder Keg in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's a friggin' barrel of kerboom that's bigger than Link. To drive the point home, Link cannot carry this thing in his Hylian, Deku or Zora form. He has to be in Goron form to do so. The Super Bomb in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is as big as Link. It doesn't harm anything else except the one specific wall you need to use it on: you can leave it in the middle of a group of enemies and stand next to it, and nobody takes any damage when it blows up. There's the Big Bombs from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, which are roughly the size of the screen, and if you're anywhere on screen when one of those things goes off, you are dead. And Dark Link has a nasty habit of hovering over the occasional mini-maze dropping these things at you repeatedly. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has floating barrels of boom scattered all around the Great Sea. You don't see them as anything much- just another obstacle to be blasted out of the way. Until one day you stop right alongside one and realize it's 6 times as tall as Link. The Groosenator in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is designed to launch giant-sized bombs to stun the Imprisoned, as well as putting it down when it starts flying. The powered-up version of the bomb subweapon in Hyrule Warriors is nearly as tall as Link, wider than everyone except Ganondorf, and is in fact larger than several of the smallest characters (like Midna and Agatha). One of the finishers for Link's Great Fairy weapon rain these down on nearby foes - however, these only apply to the viewpoint of her opponents, as the Great Fairy is large enough to carry Link around in a bottle. Finally, one roughly the size of a keep is used in a cutscene in the first level of Story Mode, created by another Great Fairy. |

Halo: The Covenant have jeep-sized bombs that are covered in Spikes of Villainy. Given that they're effectively nukes, the size and spikes may be to hinder humans from moving them as much as anything else. There's one in the original trilogy, at the beginning of the second game where Master Chief has to defuse one that's on a space station he's currently in. He drags it into space, reactivates it, and throws it at a Covenant carrier to give them a taste of their own medicine. There's another spiky Covenant bomb in the Halo Legends short The Package. The Expanded Universe novels also have the planet-busting NOVA bombs. |

The turian bomb in Mass Effect 3's mission Tuchanka: Bomb is big enough that when Lieutenant Victus has to manually remove its detonator, he climbs up a ladder on its side to do it. The detonator housing alone is bigger than he is. Turns out to be justified; if you let it go off, flavor text will later tell you that it killed everyone within 500 kilometers. NukeMap says that to achieve near-100% fatality rates at 500 kilometers against mere humans (and nearly everything on Tuchanka is tougher than a human) would require 7.2 teratons of TNT equivalent. For context, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was the equivalent of a little over 14 kilotons of TNT (about 500 million times less) while the largest fusion bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, was equivalent to 50 megatons (144,000 times less). It's also justified as being a crude and out of date device by modern standards; the turians planted it over 1,400 years ago. |

There's the Big Bombs from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, which are roughly the size of the screen, and if you're anywhere on screen when one of those things goes off, you are dead. And Dark Link has a nasty habit of hovering over the occasional mini-maze dropping these things at you repeatedly. | |

FreeSpace has the GTM N1 Harbinger Bomb, a huge space bomb with a fusion warhead with three salted-fission warheads. Only the Ursa heavy bomber can carry it, plus it can carry two per missile bank and takes thirty seconds to reload. Ditto its counterpart in FreeSpace 2, the Helios Torpedo, which is a massive Antimatter bomb. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Some of the Bob-ombs in the games could get this large, especially in Super Mario RPG (pictured above) and the second Paper Mario. The aptly named 'Big Bob-omb' from Super Mario 64 onwards. He's already pretty big in his debut, but it's in Mario Party where he ends up being shown as absolutely massive. Don't let him explode in the mini games 'Defuse or Lose' or 'You're the Bob-omb', otherwise the player character ends up flying through the air and smashing into the ground hard enough to make a sizable crater. Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 4: The minigame Bowser's Big Blast (known as Bowser's Bigger Blast in the latter). All characters have to press, turn by turn, plungers connected to a massive, enormous bomb with the shape of Bowser's head. One of the plungers detonates the bomb while the others don't, so each character has to choose a plunger and hope that the bomb doesn't explode after the plunger is pressed. If the bomb explodes, the character will be blasted away; the remaining characters have to continue playing until only one remains. The initial number of plungers is five, and will decrease by one every time a character is eliminated. If, by any chance, all safe plungers are pressed, a new set will be brought to the scene to repeat the sequence. |

Knightmare featured a room which contained nothing but an exit and an enormous bomb. The fuse would start shortly after the dungeoneer entered the room from a door on the left hand side of the screen. The dungeoneer's advisors, who were used to being able to describe the dungeoneer's surroundings for them, had no time to do anything but get the dungeoneer to a door in the far wall of the room. | |

Calamitous plans to shield himself from the blast under an equally large... school desk. | |

Bomberman games technically do this, since the bombs are the same size as the bombermen. In Bomberman 64 and The Second Attack!, it's actually a gameplay mechanic for players to inflate held bombs to increase the blast radius! Only in the intro sequence, but Saturn Bomberman takes special note for the titular protagonist dodging a bunch of truly gigantic bombs several times his size, then catching and flinging one of those bombs back to his assailants, which overshoots and falls into a volcano. Cue Oh, Crap! reactions over the next few seconds, then the camera cutting away to the planet bulging three times, then turning into a planet-sized Cartoon Bomb before exploding. |

The climax of Tremors 2: Aftershocks. Earl has set Burt's entire cache of explosives to explode. Earl has previously referred to Burt as "putting a new shine on the word 'overkill.'" Burt's only reaction and advice is to run. Eventually, Earl and the rest of the group run and hide behind a building pretty far away from the bomb. Burt runs right past them, shouting "Keep going, it's gonna be 'BIG!!" He's right. When it goes off, the building they tried to hide behind is blown to kindling. | |

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War— the MPBM. A weapon only used by the Cool Plane, the ADFX-0# Morgan. While it's technically a missile, it's more like a Star Fox Smart Bomb—and it's the size of said Cool Plane's Cockpit. The resultant Boom is the second largest blast in the game (the only larger is a Nuke). The Real Life "Daisy Cutter" Fuel-Air Explosive Bomb (see below) is also in this game, and its blast is pretty big, but has nothing on the MPBM's almighty Sphere of Destruction. | |

While not the size of a car, the terrorist bomb in The Sum of All Fears in the Ryan Verse is almost six times larger than a standard nuclear bomb. The scientist who made it justified the size by explaining that he had no actual experience making such a bomb, only theory, and as a result deliberately over-engineered it to make sure that it works. It doesn't, at least not as intended, because he was killed by the terrorists before he could explain the final, simple procedure that would've made it work much better. | |

In Graham McNeil's Warhammer 40,000 novel Warriors of Ultramar, some orbital fuel refineries are rigged to blow and packed with extra explosives. The first one is tossed into the middle of a Tyranid hive fleet, and detonated when one of the hiveships tries to eat it. The second time the Imperium tries the same thing, but the 'nids toss it back at them. A similar incident occurs in the second Ciaphas Cain book, where a refinery is detonated after flushing most of its product down a series of tunnels to deal with a Necron Apocalypse. The fumes left in the tunnels turn it into the universe's largest Fuel Air Explosive: A God-Emperor Of All Bombs, if you will. How big? It rocks the shuttles in high atmosphere, that's how. |

The Gamilus Empire in Space Battleship Yamato 2199 takes "big" where it's never gone before, with what appear to be nearly conventional bombs with diameters of about a third of a mile. The resulting explosions are so large that they easily destroy cities, leaving only city-sized, molten holes in the crust of whatever planet they detonate on. We see them used to great effect during the destruction of Alteria. Words cannot expression the level of destruction brought to that planet, it can only be seen. | |

Also, the Mann Vs Machine mode is all about preventing a horde of robots and bomb–carrying tanks from planting a bomb into a hole which specifically allows bombs to be chucked into, as a self–destruct mechanism which all Mann Co. facilities have. The Sentry Busters (which bust Sentries), are essentially Action Bombs. | |

Various ''Mythbusters' mantras dictate there must be at least one explosion per episode. Most of the early Myths were small scale booms (e.g. an exploding cellphone, or blowing up a house using bug bombs, or blowing up a tree cannon with five pounds of black powder—which admittedly was a pretty spectacular explosion). Then came the myth that cherry bombs could remove concrete after it solidified in a mixer truck. After escalating to dynamite and only chipping the surface of the mess (just the thinner layers got removed), the gang tried several hundred pounds of ANFO. Just to be absolutely clear, it vaporized the truck. Which they knew it would do - after all, if they had to track down an unused-for-the-day quarry for the blast, and shut down highways miles away, they darn well knew that that much explosive wouldn't just remove the concrete; they simply wanted to blow up the truck. |

In Transformers: Generation 2, Grimlock comes up with a ploy to take out the flagship of Jhiaxus' Decepticons by sneaking a preposterously sized Incredibly Obvious Bomb called the Chaosmaster Bomb onto the Decepticon ship. Given that this thing seems to be a nuke that is visibly bigger than Grimlock, who is himself one of the larger Autobots to begin with, it's probably safe to call this a very big bomb. | |

Hunter × Hunter features a device called "Little Rose". Said device combines this trope with Why Am I Ticking? and produces a cloud in the form of a rose flower when used. While officially banned as inhuman, a sufficiently trustworthy character mentions that those deviced were embedded in millions. In the Crapsack World of the series, death by suicide bombing is better than ending up as either chimera ant soldier or chimera ant soldier food. As the only shown explosion was a Heroic Sacrifice of a Retired Badass, it is not known if the shown destructive power is linked to the individual's power level. | |

During the Peninsular War, the Anglo-Portugese fortifications of Almeida were destroyed in an enormous explosion, one of the most powerful of the pre-TNT age, when a French artillery shell penetrated the British magazine in the basement of the cathedral. The blast was visible from the British headquarters 50 miles away, and charred pieces of the city were carried all over Portugal. In Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, the title character set it off. | |

Spore has the Planet Buster Space stage tool, which, as the name implies, busts a planet epic mini cutscene. Could qualify as Awesome, but Impractical as it makes all nearby empires HATE you. | |

X-COM Interceptor has a Nova bomb, which is so large it only fits on the special hardpoint of the Super Avenger Fighter. | |

A similar incident occurs in the second Ciaphas Cain book, where a refinery is detonated after flushing most of its product down a series of tunnels to deal with a Necron Apocalypse. The fumes left in the tunnels turn it into the universe's largest Fuel Air Explosive: A God-Emperor Of All Bombs, if you will. How big? It rocks the shuttles in high atmosphere, that's how. | |

The "extra strength" bomb in Gears of War 2, which takes two people to carry at a slow walking pace. | |

In the Belisarius Series, there's a point where the heroes set off an enormous explosion for earthmoving purposes. Aide had warned repeatedly that they were using more explosives than they really needed for the job (it would still have been a massive detonation, but it didn't have to be that massive), but "Belisarius and Basil had both insisted that more was vastly preferable than enough."

In Sunshine, the goal is to jump-start the Sun by destroying or disrupting a theoretical particle only barely understood by physics which has latched onto it and is slowing its fusion reaction, effectively causing it to fade and die. The means: an enormous f***ing bomb which required half of Earth's fissile resources to build. And it's one of two. | |

Infinifactory has one in the final level of "The Heist" sub-campaign for the Resistance. You have to build ten of them to blow up the alien base. Each one is 3*3*3 blocks. It's only slightly smaller than the shuttle you built in the last level you spent working for the Overlords. | |
