New bomb blast radius pattern

Currently I've seen three styles of bomb blasts:

Concussive circle (immediate explosion in a circular pattern)
Multistage circle(immediate explosion with a delayed 1.5 second status from a 'mist' in a circular pattern)
8-directional shrapnel(Tiny circle that fires off some sort of pieces in each of the eight circular directions)

I'd like to see possibly some revamps to some of the less-used bombs or new bombs altogether that maybe use some other blast patterns, for instance:

Cone(similar to the breaths from some of the skeletons or upper tier flamethrowers)
4-direction lance(Concussive blast that fires out and does good damage in each of the cardinal directions)
Single-spot(Large damage to a very small circle)

It's creative, I'll give you that. Actually, I'd like to see some of these ideas implemented with guns. Flamethrower, anyone?

Other ideas:
A bomb that has extreme concussion but does little damage (to push enemies away)
A bomb that implodes (sucks enemies in while dealing damage)
A bomb that has multiple, delayed detonations (like when you beat a boss in Zelda and they have several explosions at random locations for about five seconds).

Great thread!

I'd like to see a claymore pattern.

There's times I really want to push enemies in one specific direction.

Ramune, have you seen the graviton bombs? They suck enemies in.

cluster bombs?

You mean like those exploding jellies with the "surprise gifts" they scatter all over the place?

This exists already. (Graviton Bomb)
