Name

For future reference, the Prima eGuide for LMDM refers to them as generic bombs: "If its green circular panel detects a Strobulb flash, the bomb sprouts mechanical legs and follows you until it detonates. When you spot one of these bombs, it’s usually best to detonate it before any ghosts or critters have a chance to surprise you.

Robomb or Strobomb?

Shouldn't the article be titled Strobomb? Looking at the references, Strobomb is a name used in-game, while Robomb is taken from internal data which I understand has lower priority - plus Strobomb is from a more recent game. Tmjjmt (talk) 13:18, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

Wasn't "Strobomb" just a cheeky way E.Gadd referred to the Strobulb bursts? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:44, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
No, Strobombs are a separate item and are shown during the game's attract mode. - RHG1951 (talk) 16:15, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
Gotcha - in that case I've clarified in the article that Strobomb is specifically a name for the gold version, not the normal ones as the first sentence suggested before. Tmjjmt (talk) 19:05, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

Japanese name

The "Robomu" name appears in a scan here, but it's too blurry. It could technically be saying "Ropomu", as unlikely as that is... I'm going to add the source anyway. Blinker (talk) 13:12, January 3, 2024 (EST)
