Post 217 looks like a large square picture, with Maxwell riding on a T-Rex in front of a zombie at a volcanic map. Oddly, Maxwell wields a brown shotgun (which looks different from the in-game shotgun). Interacting with the Post 217 will activate it, and any person that sees it will become afraid and run away (just like other bombs). A few seconds later it will destroy everything on the map including Maxwell.
The animation of the explosion is the same as the nuke.
Post #217
"I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out. Best game of E3? Without a doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that. So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up.A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the heck out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL THE ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do." -- Feep, neogaf.com (06-05-2009, 05:02 AM)

Edison Yan's rendition of Post 217.
Trivia
- Post 217 is defined as an explosive object. However, terrorists cannot activate it. However, if they run into it, it automatically explodes.
- Post 217 was a famous post on NeoGAF forums praising the game. A promotional desktop wallpaper was drawn by 5th Cell based on the post, and the words "Post Two One Seven", "Feep" and "NeoGAF" have been included in the game.
- The picture does not show the brown "shot gun" in "Scribblenauts Remix".
Glitches
- In Super Scribblenauts if you give it the adjective inflatable, and get on top of it, inflate it until it explodes. The explosion does not destroy everything.
