Unrivaled among engineering-created explosive devices, this is an enhanced version of the [Goblin Sapper Charge]. It follows the goblin principle of "maximum destructive ability, minimum self-preservation" seen in the side effects of other Goblin Engineering items.

Notes[]
- Does 200 damage to buildings and walls that can be damaged in Wintergrasp.
- Note that it does not damage "everyone nearby", just enemies, and the wielder. This suggests strategies involving multiple Goblin Engineers, albeit at 5 minute intervals.
- Given the signature icon of a Mushroom cloud, the name is almost certainly a reference to the term "Global Thermonuclear war". Another possible reference could be the thermal detonators of Star Wars.
- These bombs played an important part in the Goon Squad's Wintergrasp Speedrun.
Patch changes[]
- Patch 3.1.3 (2009-06-02): Siege damage reduced from 1200 to 200.
- Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added.
