**Well what else are we gonna call it. Covenant Bomb is cr*p. We can hardly call in the Matter Bomb, That sounds like the target expands, crazy. - Forerunner 19:55 17/2/07

Beware of the "Giant Covenant Space Pickle" as said by jason jones i believe, in the H3 commentary of 1&2's
cinematics
Hey, if it were an antimatter bomb, the majority of it wouldn't be antimatter, it would be machines to keep the antimatter from touching the bomb.
== 7 reference ==
The seven percent energy release from an H-bomb is not a valid 7 reference, unless of course, Bungie had something to do with how atoms work and the sort.[[User:XRoadToDawnX|XRoadToDawnX]] 17:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
== Disputed Antimatter Section ==
Hey guys, just backing this up here. Its well written -- [[User:Drtomjenkins|Tom Jenkins]] <sup>([[User_talk:Drtomjenkins|Reply]])</sup> 02:50, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
===Technical Details===
The Covenant Bomb is about 2 meters long, 1 meter high and is covered in very large spikes that keep the bomb in place. These bombs are equipped with timers on their detonators and contain [[antimatter]]. Antimatter is extremely unstable, any contact between destabilized antimatter and normal matter causes an instant, massive explosion of gamma rays. However, it is unknown how the antimatter is contained, because if the container was normal matter, it would simply detonate instantly, while if it was antimatter, it would explode on contact with outside normal matter.
An antimatter particle colliding with a matter particle releases 100% of the energy contained within the particles, while an H-bomb (Hydrogen Bomb) releases only about 7% of this energy. This gives a clue to how effective and powerful this force really is.
These bombs are a larger version of the [[Antimatter Charge]]. The Covenant carry these on their ships, likely for use by the ships' [[Elite]] [[Rangers]]. They are capable of destroying entire ships and even space stations, an example being the [[MAC]] stations above [[Earth]]. It is used particularly for boarding, mainly to disable defenses or ships that are slowing down Covenant assaults.
== Antimatter Charge Merger==
The [[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]] shows a picture of the Covenant Bomb with a description and heading as an Antimatter Charge. This does not appear to be an unintentional error but rather an intentional clarification. So what does everybody think? Should the articles be merged? I think so. --[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 02:07, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
it does? cool! Merge away! [[User talk:Galacticdominator|Galactic]] 17:13, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
:To Galactic, don't just vote without thinking the outcome of the merger. To Rusty, are you sure that this is an intentional clarification? Because we know for a fact that the Encyclopaedia messed up several images... well, based on what I heard in the Talk Page of the Encyclopaedia...--<font face="century gothic"><font color="red">[[User:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Lol</font>]]@[[User talk:-Ascension-|<font color="#666666">Phailure</font>]]</font></font> 17:55, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
An exact transcript of the Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe article:
'''Antimatter Charge''' ''While Humans use nuclear power (fission and fusion), antimatter is the energy of choice for the Covenant. In lay terms, antimatter is the "opposite" of normal matter, and when the two collide, they produce an amount of energy that shames even the largest UNSC reactors-for example, an H-Bomb only utilizes seven percent of its total potential energy, while all antimatter explosions utilize one hundred percent. Through this the Covenant has developed engines that "never" need recharging and weapons that can glass entire planets. Humanity, meanwhile, can only produce less than a gram of antimatter a year, even in its most advance laboratories.''<BR>Directly next to this is an image of the Covenant Bomb. The only instances of image mistakes found in the Encyclopedia are where one type of something is mistaken for another type (ie, Scout Armor in the place of Rogue), and these are clearly unintentional oversights. There is nothing as blatant as this, therefore I have no doubt that it is an intentional clarification.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''Rusty'''</font>]][[User:Rusty-112|<font color="Red">'''-'''</font>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<font color="Blue">'''112'''</font>]] 18:14, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
:There is no evidence of any kind to support that this is a mistake. If you took everything we don't like about Halo and named it as a mistake, there would be no franchise. -  [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="red"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Talk'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Halo-343|<font color="orange"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Contribs'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] [[Special:Editcount/Halo-343|<font color="green"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Edits'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] 20:55, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
