i already know tempus is time, but what would be the closest translation to bomb?

Time bomb is an English expression, it would not translate literally into the Latin. It would be like literally translating the expression "bats in the belfry" - it would not mean crazy in Latin, it would just sound silly. Also, I do not think there is a word in Latin for bomb - they did not exist back then.

Tempus bomba. Why? Do you want to build a tempus bomba in Rome?

Best I can do is "exploderus tempus."

According to the 'PARVUM VERBORUM NOVATORUM LÃXICUM' (dictionary of new latin words) should be something like: "pyróbolum tempori praestituendo"
