 This article is about a monster in Power Rangers RPM.

The Boom Bot is one of Venjix's Attack Bots. He is based on stereo speakers. Unlike his Sentai counterpart and like many other Attack Bots, Boom Bot does not talk at all, only speaking in growls with Amplifier effect. He serves as the main antagonist of the first part of the episode "Ranger Yellow".
History
Boom Bot was sent by Venjix to serve as distraction maneuver while Tenaya 7 would steal the Black Diamond of Landsdowns, the treasure of Summer's family. This Attack Bot infiltrated the Corinth City Shields, with Tenaya 7 and the Grinders, by creating sonic interference. They were stopped and held up by the Corinth City Forces, but Tenaya 7 quickly took them out, allowing the Attack Bot & the Grinders to continue. Similar to the monsters Somnibot and Dischordia, he used sounds as his main power, even wielding a microphone staff as a weapon.
When they arrived in the city, the evil forces started attacking the citizens of Corinth. The City Patrol tried to stop them, but they weren't strong enough. Boom Bot could emmit powerful sound waves to attack. Scott, Flynn, Ziggy & Dillon soon arrived and took the Grinders out. They then morphed and were ready to battle Boom Bot. However, the robot used his Sonic Bombardment Cannons to keep the Rangers down.
Luckily, Summer showed up and battled Boom Bot. Ranger Operator Series Yellow was able to use her Energy Blast to weaken the beast. This gave the team enough time to form their cannons and blast the robot.
But the battle wasn't over just yet. Venjix made Boom Bot grow, forcing the Rangers to form the High Octane Megazord. The Megazord alone wasn't strong enough to take on Boom Bot. Dillon then joined in the fight with his Zord. By combining Ranger Operator Series Black's Zord with the High Octane Megazord, the Rangers gained the firepower they needed to destroy Boom Bot.
The Rangers & Doctor K later discovered that Boom Bot was not the primary threat to the city. Boom Bot had been implanted with a self-destruct device, that was activated during the battle, making him nothing more than a decoy to keep the Rangers busy while Tenaya 7 went to steal the Landsdown Diamond.
