In Tails Adventure, Bomb Throwing Combatants appear as enemies. They are only found in Polly Mountain 1.

In gameplay, Bomb Throwing Combatants usually wait for Tails to arrive before making a move. Once he makes a move, they will start running up to Tails to throw a bomb at him, for then to move away to throw another as Tails approaches them. The player can easily defeat Bomb Throwing Combatants with any kind of weapon in their arsenal in one hit.

Like many other enemies in Tails Adventure, a Bomb Throwing Combatant may drop a Ring upon its defeat.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, Bomb Throwing Combatants appear as one of the two infantries (along with Rock Throwing Combatants) of the Battle Bird Armada, lead by Grand Battle Kukku XV. Their basic design and color scheme are close to their game counterparts, though they also use combat weapons, walkers and hover pods instead of just bombs.
