{{quote|The Mactera Bomber, the bloated, overweight cousin of the Mactera Spawn. It's a grotesque sack of flying slime, ponderously keeping itself aloft while only seeking to entrap any invaders in sickly, sticky goo before firing barbed, venomous darts at its stuck victims. Nothing good can be said about the Mactera Bomber, except for the fact that it has very obvious weak spots: The bulging and exposed slime sacks on its sides. Shoot these. Just...don't stand underneath when you do.|Miner's Manual Description}}

The '''Mactera Goo Bomber''' is an aerial enemy that lobs [[Status Effects#Sticky Goo|sticky goo]] at unsuspecting dwarves, reducing their movement speed and leaving them vulnerable to attacks from other [[creatures]]. It will typically fly in a curved pattern, circling a potential target until it stops to begin its firing process.

== Combat ==
The Goo Bomber is highly susceptible to damage from its two slime sacs, which serve as its critical weakpoints. Each sac can sustain a certain threshold of damage—depending on the mission's [[Hazard Level]]—before breaking, after which it will no longer serve as a weakpoint.

Upon dying, the Goo Bomber will swirl uncontrollably until it hits the ground, leaving behind a pool of [[Status Effects#Sticky Goo|sticky goo]]. This effect can be negated by ensuring the bomber is eliminated with no intact weakpoints (slime sacs).

'''Goo Barrage''' moves forward releasing a trail of Goo.<br>
Goo effect: ×0.3 Movement while in the Goo. The effect refresh every 1 s.

{{quote|The Mactera have managed to find a niche for themselves even in the frigid permafrost layers of Hoxxes, and the Mactera Frost Bomber is one such adaptation. Rather than the sticky, hot mess left by its cousin, the Frost Bomber entraps you in freezing globs of rapidly hardening foam instead. It's theorized the foam is actually a mass of microscopic, burrowing larvae, but any organic activity within it ceases as soon as those covered in it return to normal temperatures.|Miner's Manual Description}}

'''Frost Barrage''' moves forward releasing a trail of freezing foam.<br>
Freezing foam effect: ×0.35 Movement and {{Hoverover|1.4 Cold|Don’t scale with hazard level|underline=yes}}/s while in the foam. The effect refresh every 0.25 s.

== Tips ==
The [[M1000 Classic]] can destroy each slime sac on a Goo Bomber with a single focus shot on most [[Hazard Level|Hazard Levels]].

The [[Cryo Cannon]] and [[Cryo Grenade]] can permanently freeze a non-Glacial Strata Goo Bomber, causing it to fall to the ground until it breaks (eliminating it); this is particularly effective against groups of Mactera in close proximity to one another.

Multiple Goo Bombers can spawn when playing missions with the [[Missions#Anomalies|Mactera Plague Mutator]] on higher [[Hazard Level|Hazard Levels]], posing a greater threat of landing globs of [[Status Effects#Sticky Goo|sticky goo]].

Goo bombers pose a deadly threat to tunneling drillers, as they ignore slow effects and can come in packs. Consider repeatedly stunning them with power attacks, Impact axes, Power Drills, and even Satchel Charges. While you may be unable to run sideways in the goo, you can always dig straight down to escape the coming hoard.
