Someone has put on YouTube what might have happened if Sauron and Bombadil met on a battlefield:

Classic. The wait for Sauron to join in at the end was agonising, but the payoff was worth it.
Battle for Middle-earth II was a fun game but things like summoning Bombadil were pretty bizarre. I think the evil forces (Mordor, Isengard and Mountain Goblins) could summon giant burrowing worms in much the same way, perhaps foreshadowing Peter Jackson...
The thing I find odd about these efforts to "solve" what Bombadil is that they seem to show an incomprehension of the possibility that the meaning of some things is that they don't have a clear or obvious meaning.
