* The bomb may have been made easier to move by the boarding parties through anti-gravity fields presented by protrusions on the bottom of the bomb. Then, once the bomb had been sufficiently placed, these fields would have been permanently disabled, making the bomb all the more difficult to move.

* It is not likely that the entire bomb was filled with antimatter as the explosion would be inconceivably large. It is more likely that the bomb is so bulky because the antimatter must be kept in a vacuum and kept from touching the walls via force field. Even with the Covenant's superior force field technology it is understandable that they would add as many fail safes as possible due to antimatter's volatile nature when in contact with real matter.
