As the title says, really :p
Pushing a Prototype Bomb onto a tile with a Time Pod collected said Pod, triggering a line from an AI Pilot (presumably because the bomb has no pilot, and the AI camera is the fallback) about picking it up. I was expecting the bomb to destroy the Pod, but I guess that since the Bomb isn't a Vek that consequence isn't triggered.
Screenshot, just in case I'm not being clear enough:

(Prototype) Renfield Bombs can rescue Time Pods
Civ V and VI modder enticed by the idea of giant mech suits suplexing giant insects into each other's paths.

Makes sense?
Not like the bombs are going off during the mission unless you let them get hit.

Makes sense that they don't destroy the pods, perhaps; but I'm not sure that it makes sense that the bomb suddenly grows arms, and sentience, to pick up a lost time traveller and safely store them on their highly explosive self until the battle is over :p

Well hmm... I'll add it to the list of things to look into.

They have a vacuum that picks up time pods?
Or maybe it's a matter of representation? The bombs probably have a bunch of support drones who are trying to inspect and maintain the weapon and when it picks up a Time Pod, what's happening is that the drones are picking it up and reporting that it's now safe and it only looks like the bomb just collected the pod?
