Difference between revisions of "Gruntbot"

Circular Gruntbots that will hover over to your vehicle and attempt to pull parts off with a claw-like arm. Once they latch on its 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 have moderate health and ramming them a few times should do the job. They are yellow and grey. Originally, Cutter would've been called "Stealer" but the name was dropped after the realisation that the robot simply removed the parts, not actually "stealing" them.

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. It's health amount is unknown, as they commit suicide to kill you. What is odd is when YOU kill them, the explosion does not affect you. When they ram you with a lit fuse, they explode the same way but instead does damage.

A late time enemy, meaning, they only appear on the later acts. These enemies basically are rounded cubes (that somewhat resemble a deep-sea diving helmet) with green "corners", brown grates in the center of each side (they looks like fans) with one hiding the eye, and brown lines going from each center to another (Look at the above picture). These enemies have the annoying traight of grabbing on to your vehicle in the same method as Rusters, Grabbers, or Floaters, and when they do, they start flashing and 'ticking' and will explode. They are hard to remove and dangerous when around. They only attack you when you are in your vehicle. They can be extremely dangerous as when they explode when connected to you, your vehicle takes more damage than the Exploders do. 

Swallower is a large purple see-through sphere-like Gruntbot. Swallower presents the ability to hold miscellanous items within it's body, usually during a challenge in which said item is required. Only in missions, a certain item that is used to win is inside them. When destroyed, the item is able to be picked up. They also have the capability to roll for mobility. They may be similar to the unused Gruntbot named the Possessor, as it seemingly "posseses" the item needed to win.

These are blue 'bots in the Vac-O-Nuts challenge that "eat" the nuts you are supposed to collect. They are similar in appearance to Nudger and Rammer, with the exception of the massive teeth-like blades outfitted within it's mouth. They area light-blue colour, with small beady eyes above their mouths.

'''Dropper:''' A bronze and grey cannon-shaped enemy who had either of the two following abilities: either firing (or "dropping") an explosive thus damaging the vehicle, or grabbing hold of the vehicle and towing it to a great height before realising it, damaging the vehicle upon impact with the ground.

'''Whirlwinder''': A blue, yellow and grey robot with a mid-body section comprised completely of a fan-like unit. Supposedly, Whirlwinder had the capability to fling vehicles upwards, (comparable to Blower or Sucker, both manuevering the vehicle by means of a fan)
