-'''Gruntbots''' are the main enemies in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. As their name suggests, they serve as [[Gruntilda]]'s minions, being built by her in order to make [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]'s quest harder. There are many different types of Gruntbots, each with unique appearances and properties. They come in many different sizes, and can be defeated by getting shot with projectiles and being hit by either [[Mumbo's Wrench]] or the duo's vehicle.

Once they stick into it, it can be difficult to get them out due to them being quite hard to properly aim at, making it easier to simply avoid them.

Originally, their name was going to be "Stealer", but the name was changed after the developers realized they simply removed parts rather than stealing them.{{citation needed}}

 ===Unused Gruntbots===
-It is unknown what their role and attacks would've been, and most information about them is simply speculation based off on their names and appearance. Tombstones with their names and concept art can be found in the [[Mad Monster Mansion]] exhibit of Banjoland.
+Gruntbots not used in the final game. Tombstones with their names and models can be found in the [[Mad Monster Mansion]] exhibit of Banjoland, while portraits of them can be seen inbetween segments of the [[Click Clock Wood Tree]].
