Difference between revisions of "Gruntbot"

First seen in [[Nutty Acres]] Act 1. Mostly harmless, they slowly roll into your vehicle doing minor damage, and can easily be defeated. Later they are seen piloting planes and boats, and eventualy cars. The boats are outfitted with guns, but the cars and planes mostly ram into things. They are light purple.

First seen in Nutty Acres Act 4. If they catch sight of Banjo, they will rise into the air, cackle and slam into your vehicle, often knocking loose a part or damaging it severly, thankfully, they have very low health and giving THEM a ram will often result in their death. There are tiny ones for early acts, medium sized ones for later acts and often Gruntilda acts, and huge ones that can be described as about the size of your trolley for farther acts. The damage they do also depends on their size.They are red.

First seen in [[Banjoland]]. If you break open the [[Stop 'n' Swop]] eggs around the area, small grey cubed shaped Gruntbots pop out and latch onto your vehicle slowing you down. Very weak but try to avoid them when racing. They are made of metal, and not surprisingly, they do moderate damage to your vehicle if you ram them. They also pursue and attack you when on foot.

A sort of blue cylinder with a fan on the front, if you venture too close, they will turn on the fan and suck you and your vehicle towards them. They have moderate health, but your best strategy is to jump out of your vehicle and hit them with the wrench if you don't have weapons, or, if you vehicle has guns, defeat them from a distance. They are light blue

Balloon-shaped Gruntbots that will latch onto your vehicle and attempt to lift you off the ground, while low on health, they're rather difficult to hit, so your best bet is to just avoid them altogether. They are teal.

Green Gruntbots who have been outfitted with a cannon for a mouth. Proceed with caution as they can do some heavy damage. Try to shoot them before they get a chance to shoot you as they have a tendency to knock parts off your vehicle. They have a tendency to aim low, but this probably is because they lack the ability to aim higher. Also, depending on their size, their damage and HP is different. They are green.

Circular Gruntbots that will hover over to your vehicle and attempt to pull parts off with a laser-cutter. Once they latch on it's difficult to pull them off, so be careful, as with the Lighteners, they can be difficult to hit after they are in the air, so try to just avoid them. They can be described as half yellow on the top, and half silver/gray on the bottom. The yellow half opens also in half to reveal a claw. Thankfully they can only grab one vehicle piece at a time, and after removing a part, they fly back and have to reaproach you to repeat the process. Also, they will try to grab the piece that is closest to them. They are yellow and grey.

Rusty Gruntbots who have a very nasty ability, they can rust over your vehicle, severely crippling its speed or stopping it altogether. They have moderate health, so ramming them works fine, but as always, weapons work much better. Not only do they slow your vehicle, but they gradually damage the entire vehicle (unless a portion of it is connected by a tow bar). Strangely enough, they will explode after awhile for unknown reasons. (This is similar to the actual rust bin weapon, whose rust balls explode after the entire vehicle is in a 1 HP condition, but unknown if this is what actually happens.) They are brown.

These red kamikaze enemies are quite a strange one. They look like Rammers with some key differences, they have silver sides that look like the ends of screws, a small pentagon shaped piece on top of them which is the fuse, a yellow face that the fuse is found. The major givaway is the black exclamation mark on their yellow face that is inside a triangle (it looks like a warning sign). When they spot you, their fuse is lit, and they roll over to you, exploding in the usual . If they make contact with your vehicle, they explode, doing some high damage to the part, and those adjacent to it. Their size determines the explosion size. These enemies are also very clumsy (possibly due to their fuse). In fact, if one sees you and is standing right next to another enemy, he will explode if he touches that enemy, stunning it and leaving it open to attack. Strangly enough too, if the enemy it hit was another AB (Attention Bomb), it won't cause that AB to explode, it will just stun it.  

These enemies have the unique ability to disable your vehicles equipment (weapons, gadgets) using EMP blasts at the price of stunning them, and leaving anything around it, open to attack. They have antennas sticking out of their heads, a silver coloring, and an indescribable shape.
