Bombadrag is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Bortiller II from the planet Projictis, created by SOULARCHER20.
Appearance[]
Bombadrag is a fairly large dragon-like alien, with a lush white, black and silver colouring. He has long black horns on his white dragon head, with a black and silver strip running down the middle and green eyes. His teeth are trapezium shaped, and his tongue is actually a retractable black cannon for him to fire his ammunition. He has circular shoulders with green spots on them, hiding retractable silver wings with green energy. His hands and feet each have three short, black cylindrical fingers and toes, each with green circles at their tips. His wrists have white cylinders with green rings at their tips, while his shins are slightly squarish with green stripes running down their middle. The tip of his tail has a similar design to his arms, with a single black cylinder at the end instead. His neck, arms, legs and tail are all silver and elongated with the exception being his black legs. They are connected to his white cylindrical body, which have two rectangular shapes on their front and back. These rectangles can open up to reveal his inner body, which possesses 5 black holes on each of his back rectangles and a Borrel Drum in his chest. The Omnitrix is located on a belt he wears on his waist.
Powers and Abilities[]
Bombadrag is a living machine gun, as all his powers involve launching small, spherical energy bullets from his body. These bullets can be launched as single shots or in rapid succession, enough to pierce through a wide variety of objects, and they are fired from his mouth cannon, tail and the cylinders on his arms. In case of the latter, his hands retract into his cylinders and open up to reveal 6 holes where the bullets come out of.
Bombadrag can fire special missiles from two sealed vents from his back. These missiles made out of a more volatile substance than his bullets, meaning that they can cause small explosions upon impact, or pin themselves to an area before exploding akin to a grenade. Even when they explode, the shrapnel and debris produced can still do serious damage, and are even able to explode.
By retracting his hands into his cylinders and rotating them at high speed, his arms can be used as small drills to tunnel into the ground. Additionally, Bombadrag can create a small minefield simply by releasing smaller missiles from his mouth, which silently bury themselves into the ground. This also indicates that Bombadrag can suppress the sound of his shots to a certain pitch, allowing him to fire them in a subtle manner akin to a sniper.
His chest has a hollow space where he stores his Borrel Drum, which contains all the ammunition he fires from his body. Should he ever run out of bullets, he can load small objects into his Borrel Drum, where his internal energies charge the loaded objects into becoming his new ammunition. He can also open up his Borrel Drum, revealing even more hollow space, to load and shoot even larger objects, including people. In this case, they would be throw out of his mouth at high speeds.
The Borrel Drum is capable of being detached from his chest and equipped onto his wrist cylinders or tail, creating a more dangerous and consistent gun. The empty space also allows much larger objects to be stored in his chest. Additionally, the rotating gear in his chest is bladed, allowing him to act as a blender to cut anything when his Borrel Drum is removed. If he ever loses his Borrel Drum, the Omnitrix can generate a new one.
His has retractable wings in his shoulders, which enable him to fly as fast as a jet plane. By combining his flight and firepower, Bombadrag can become a fighter jet or bomber plane, depending on his orientation. In case of the latter, he could either drop missiles from his back or his Borrel Drum.
He is physically strong, with a degree of enhanced strength, speed, agility and durability, as he is bulletproof on his own and is capable of agile flying at fast speeds with passengers on his back without showing any signs of slowing down. His strength enables him to carry large objects and people, as well as hold his own against a Vaxasaurian. This strength is extended to his jaws, which gives him enough bite force to hold a metal pipe in his jaw, despite his teeth lacking sharp traits.
Despite his mechanical appearance, he is actually made out of a non-metallic alien polymer, rendering him immune to magnetic attacks. His unique body also gives him a resistance to electricity, enabling him to shrug of most electrical attacks. As long as he doesn't utilise metallic ammunition, these properties can also be given to his bullets.
Bombadrag has an extended knowledge on firearms, and can use them with increased proficiency. He can determine how to utilise a weapon he never even used before simply by looking at it. He is also quite accurate with his shots, as he could strike targets that are impossible to hit.
When in close quarters combat, Bombadrag's best weapons are his head horns and tail. He can also cause his retractable body parts to eject with enough force to knock others backwards.
Bortillery II can generate a mild trajectory wave around them, allowing them to control the flight path of fired projectiles and falling objects. This means that Bombadrag could cause his ammunition to change direction in the air, as well as the trajectory of other external projectiles, even stopping them in mid-air. Ben has not fully mastered this ability yet.
Unlike other Bortillery II, Bombadrag is capable of speech, due to his human vocal knowledge.
Weaknesses[]
Bombadrag is practically a machine gun, meaning that he has the same weaknesses as one. For example, he can run out of ammunition and get jammed. Unless he has time to reload, he is forced to fight as a hand-to-hand combatant, which he isn't as experienced as due to him being more of a long ranged fighter.
His missiles are organically part of his Bortillery II physiology, meaning that unlike his bullets, he never runs out of missiles. The downside is that they use up more energy, which can drain his stamina, forcing him to use his missiles sparingly. Additionally, his missiles could only come out of his back vents, meaning an adhesive could seal his vents and prevent him from using his missiles.
His long horns, wings and tail can be used to his enemies advantage if they grab ahold of him.
If something gets stuck in one of his firing holes, his firing mechanism will implode and damage his Borrel Drum, causing smoke to come out of his mouth.
While he can store large objects in his chest compartment, anything that expands beyond its capacity will force it out of his body.
Bombadrag can be harmed and knocked back by his own missiles should an enemy reflect them back to him.
Because he makes gear-like sounds every time he moves, Bombadrag isn't a stealthy alien, which makes it difficult for him to sneak around.
While he can use his cylinders as drills, the density of the object he drills can scratch and damage them, rendering them incapable of shooting. Futhermore, he can still feel discomfort from electrical attacks despite being resistant to them. He also felt pain when he hit his head at a wall.
As he has short fingers, they are unable to grab specific objects unless those objects are fairly large, such as boulders.
Because Ben hasn't fully mastered his trajectory wave, Bombadrag's ammunition can sometimes fly into random locations, causing inadvertent damage to his surroundings and allies.
His Borrel Drum can be forcefully detached from him, though the Omnitrix can generate a new one if he loses it, including a fresh supply of new ammunition. Unfortunately, this only occurs whenever Ben transforms into Bombadrag again, which can slow down his fighting.

- In Beware my Justice, Bombadrag battled Decinum, but was knocked away.
- In One Big Omni Family, Bombadrag acquired sentience after an A.I.R. device affected the Omnitrix. He was part of the scouting squad used to look for The Darhkness 3, and eventually aided in the battle at the A.I.R. base. He was then readded to the Omnitrix after being scanned by Ben.
