''[=BoomBots=]'' is a FightingGame released in 1999 for UsefulNotes/PlayStation and published by [=SouthPeak=] Games. It was created by Creator/DougTenNapel, best known as the creator of ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'', and was the third and final game developed by his The Neverhood studio. Like ''VideoGame/TheNeverhood'' and ''VideoGame/{{Skullmonkeys}}'', ''[=BoomBots=]'' features distinctive {{Claymation}} visuals and various amounts of ToiletHumor. The big difference here is that the graphics are rendered in 3D. The only connection to ''The Neverhood'' is an unlockable stage there and if you win, you can play as Klaymen.

!!Incoming tropes from Dr. Pick!
* AWinnerIsYou: After you defeat the final boss, you get a brief cutscene of the alien cat planet getting blown up followed by Dr. Pick congratulating you for your hard work.

* CanadaEh: There's a hockey-playing bot named O Canada.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Each of the [=BoomBots=] have one. Klaymen has his "Word!"
* CatsAreMean: The alien cats are undeniably evil, though that orange cat Boomer finds isn't much better.

* NegativeContinuity: Good luck trying to figure out how this all ties in with ''The Neverhood''!
* OverlyLongGag: When Boomer squeezes the farting cat. It has a lot of gas!
* PolygonCeiling: A non-2D example. Though it could have looked a lot worse, the transition of clay models into 3D ones looks rough around the edges.
