* Happens in the ''BeastWars'' episode "Equal Measures." An energon vein that runs underneath both bases means that one can travel from one to another instantaneously but an explosion on one end will mean explosion on the other. Cheetor, in the Predacon base, sends this information to the Maximals via a data disk through this instantaneous connection... only for the bomb he was warning them not to use to suddenly appear in the base.

This is a specific (fake) example, but surprise encounters with explosives can be used in all sorts of ways. The only constant is that Character(s) A send Character(s) B something with a [[StuffBlowingUp big boom]] (sometimes a [[NukeEm nuke]]) when Character(s) A isn't expecting it. See IncrediblyObviousBomb and TimeBomb.
