I'll post the Power Bomb info in the Rules thread here again for everyone to see it more easily right now.

"A power bomb is an extra hit that they can make. Once the hit is made then the power bomb is used up. A Samus can hold on to a power bomb to choose to deploy when they wish but once it is used then it is gone forever. A Samus can even deploy a power bomb during the day period to eliminate someone. However, they will not gain that player's item/power-up if they eliminate them during the Day period with this item. A Power Bomb is can nullify Ridley's (doctor's) protection and still eliminate its target. It is the only item/power-up that can do this."

If a player is eliminated during the Day vote then they do not get the items of that player. However, if the player was eliminated at Night then they would still acquire the items of that player like a normal hit. A day hit is a more desperate option. In regards to the other part of your question, if Samus were to hit the player holding the Metroid with the Power Bomb during the day then the Metroid will go to the Dead Thread with the player holding it. This is one of the few ways the Metroid can be eliminated in this game. Although if a Samus were to acquire the Grappling Hook power-up then they could still acquire the Metroid from the eliminated player still holding on to it in the Dead Thread. If the Grappling Hook is never acquired then a Samus has no way of getting it and the game continues on as a normal Mafia game with the Killer role needing to eliminate everyone else in order to win. The shortcut route of getting the Metroid is lost.

nickmitch:
So, if the Metroid is eliminated, with no grapple beam acquired, the game becomes a regular mafia game? Townies and mafia can win without it as well?

Wah:

Shyguy does make a point which is too say none at all but here's my reasoning: :-X

Town is doing an awesome time right now and so far the mafia members have been pretty quiet. So might as well.

Order.RSS:
Eventful cycle registered as shift in pattern.

R1SK ANALYSIS: FactionID_Townie risk of overconfidence.
EVIDENCE_data: 0 mentions of Routine/Mafia_Kill=0
Activity_log: Godfather Night status=1, Kill Order available.

Testing Hypotheses/"Routine/Mafia_Kill=0"...
H0: Mafia_sessionTimeOut | REJECTED
H1: Deleter_status=Occupied | PLAUSIBLE, recurred Day 3
H2: Mafia_Reconnaisance | LIKELY

Subroutine/V0TE.exe... pending evidence.

Wah:
Oh please mr.robot mafia ain't got nothing on us right now. We could take em right now.
Kinda pathetic plays by them tbh.
