Wasn’t it originally supposed to be a reactor? Even if it wasn’t, I’m pretty sure bombs in real life aren’t designed to be hard to disarm, they’re designed to explode. If you’re disarming one, it’s because it didn’t. Ever seen a machine get stuck and just need a good whack to make it work again? Now imagine that “working” involves killing the guy who just jostled the thing too hard and you’ll see why EOD work can be dangerous without the need for people to booby-trap their bombs.
Or maybe it IS. I mean, you always cut the red wire to disarm a nuke, everyone knows that. But what do you do when the wires are ALL red? Suddenly, cutting the red wire to disarm the nuke doesn’t work! It’s genius!
Can’t they be organized by location? “Don’t even touch the middle one” or something of the sort?
I beg to differ. This was a very well designed nuke. Its just that it was designed for the bomber, not the bomb squad.

That said, there are some times, especially in military situations, where you are actually aiming for the bomb to take out the bomb-tech.
To make a fusion reactor in the 50’s would have required at least SOME mad science, so we should be thankful there even ARE wires.
Well *I* can tell those apart, but I’m an artist. Also magenta isn’t really a red. (It is a primary color of pigment though.)

Cut the bright red one, radio-dude! You just had most of a Tip-level makeover, you can do this!
