* ''Series/{{Oz}}''. IRA terrorist Connelly constructs a homemade bomb to blow up Em City in revenge for the US Government extraditing him back to Britain. Fortunately it turns out to be a dud.
* During the GrandFinale of ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'', BigBad Trakeena has her entire army of [[{{Mook}} Stingwingers]] equiped with bombs and sends them on a massive suicide attack against Terra Venture and the Rangers. They take down two megazords and a great number of buildings this way, as well as wearing out the Rangers, who spend a lot of time directing them away from innocent civilians. It's one of the things that makes this season DarkerAndEdgier than an average PR season, and the fact Trakeena kills off her own army this way is one of the reasons her [[TheDragon Dragon]] Villamax questions her actions.

*** In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E7Reunion Reunion]]" one of Klingons loyal to Duras detonates a bomb implanted in his arm in an attempt to kill Gowron. As Riker would later note, the Klingons considered this man's death as honorable as the man committed suicide in a way designed to [[TakingYouWithMe take an enemy with him]].
*** Even though Captain Picard and the crew of the ''Enterprise'' take the concerns of Sevora and her brother Rabal about warp drive seriously, Sevora commits what amounts to a suicide attack by detonating the warp core of her own ship to [[TheExtremistWasRight cause]] the [[NegativeSpaceWedgie rift]] she had been warning others about to form. This endangers a ship trapped within the rift she formed as well as her own home planet. Her actions also caused the rift to form well before anyone is ready to deal with it.
** ''Series/DeepSpaceNine'': When the Federation first encounter the Jem'Hadar, one of their fighters does a suicide run into the engineering hull of the Galaxy-class starship ''Odyssey'', destroying both vessels. There's no military necessity for this; it's done purely to demonstrate to the Federation that the Jem'Hadar are not to be taken lightly.[[note]] This was a [[TheWorfEffect deliberate choice]] on the part of the writers to show that Picard and the ''Enterprise'' would have had no chance against this new enemy if the ''Enterprise'' had been there instead.[[/note]]

*** ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade'' had no innately self-destructive enemies in the single player mode, but more than a couple of deranged folks in multiplayer would stack bricks of C4 onto a cheap, fast vehicle and charge headlong into the fray. As only [[MagicTool repair]] [[HealingShiv guns]] could disarm C4 and the healing beams didn't discriminate against friend or foe, this meant that most attempts ended only with the willful detonation of the C4 blocks ([[TimeBomb or waiting until the 30 second fuse burned down]]). In most servers, allies were FriendlyFireProof, so it was theoretically possible that allies could stick ''each other'' with C4 before joining a pitched fight, especially since even the cheapest, {{Mook}}iest infantryman spawned with a timed C4 block.

* In ''VideoGame/FZeroGX'', if your machine loses all of its energy and hits a wall or a rival machine, there's a small bit of time where your machine is still considered alive before it breaks down and is considered out of the race. If the machine crosses the finish line while in this state, the finish still counts. Because of the physics associated with broken down machines, on some tracks it's actually significantly more beneficial to purposely crash your machine out and let it fly towards the finish line way faster than you'd be able to while it's alive. For a particularly notable example, on the track Port Town Aero Dive, if you crash out on the last lap at a very specific part of the turn following the gigantic dive section, [[https://youtu.be/_ETXkfaGwPs?si=EcdvG1eM1y3r4JY- you can essentially skip half the track watching your broken machine fling to the finish.]]

* The ''VideoGame/GarrysMo''d game mode 'VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' has a Traitor weapon called the Jihad bomb, which is basically a C4 that blows up in your hands with a 5 second warning to everyone around you before you explode, taking you and everyone in a large radius. The weapon isn't on all servers due to how [[GameBreaker overpowered it is]] by using it on a crowd of players or in a small room. While you die with it, you can usually take nearly 5 lives with you, which is difficult to do over one round.
