A timebomb.

Overview

Timebombs are the opponents of Survivors. They are regular Roblox characters with a bomb as a head. They lack arms and they have a face painted on the bomb. Their job is to blow up bases that the survivors built and turn everyone into a Timebomb by killing them. They can explode by pressing Q (X on Xbox) or by clicking on the "Explode" button. Their body will turn red and they'll begin to tick, with the ticks getting faster and eventually exploding. A timebomb may cancel their ticking if it hasn't surpassed a specific time limit, allowing them to trick their opponents or to prevent a miss. Their explosion deals 100 HP point-blank and can deal knockback to whoever is hit.
