Crash Bomber

Crash Bomber, known as Clash Bomb (クラッシュボム) in Japan, is Crash Man's Special Weapon. When equipped, Mega Man shoots a grappling bomb that sticks in walls and enemies and explodes after some seconds. Flash Man, the Boobeam Trap, and the Wily Machine 2 are weak to this weapon. It can also get through Wood Man's shield. It can destroy Destructible Blocks to open passages. Crash Man's body is protected with a thick armor to keep the explosions from hurting him.

If Crash Bomber is used on Heat Man in Mega Man 2, it refills all of his energy and causes him to dart about the arena at high speeds.

The Doc Robot from Mega Man 3 also used this weapon along with the weapons from the other Robot Masters from Mega Man 2, but the player cannot obtain it from Doc Robot.

Mega Man (Archie Comics)
Mega Man first acquires the Crash Bomber in issue #10 after defeating Crash Man by tricking him into destroying his boss lair with it. He then finishes off Crash Man and minimizes damage to the city by using it to perform several controlled explosions. It sees use again in issue #11 when Mega Man uses it to damage Metal Man while copying his Metal Blade and in issue #12 where he and Bomb Man team up to destroy the Boobeam Trap. In a nod to the original boss fight, Mega Man ends up using all his Crash Bomber ammo at that point, similar to how the player needed a full amount to defeat that boss.

Mega Man (cartoon)
Despite Crash Man himself appearing in the cartoon, his weapon was referred to as "time bombs", which exploded upon sufficient contact with a surface rather than sticking and detonating.

Trivia

 * The Crash Bomber is called Crash Bomb in Mega Man: The Power Battle.
 * The Crash Bomber is used by Mega Man in the upcoming fighting game Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. It consists of a Bomb that is fired straight forward and can latch onto opponents and surfaces, detonating after a short time. It acts similarly to the Gooey Bomb found in Super Smash Bros Brawl, as it can be passed between players before it explodes.
