|Blowers attack by pushing the duo and their vehicle in their opposite way by spinning the fans in the center of their bodies. While not very dangerous, they can make travelling to certain destinations a nuisance, as their attacks can blow the vehicle out of its way.

|Cutters attack by hovering over the vehicle and trying to pull parts out of it. 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. They only try to pull one part at a time, and when succeeding, they fly back to repeat the process. Originally, this type of Gruntbot was called "Stealer".<ref name="Concept art"/>

|Disablers attack by disabling certain parts of the duo's vehicle using electromagnetic pulses. When this is done, however, they will leave themselves and everything around them stunned and opened for attacks. Originally, this type of Gruntbot was called "EMP".<ref name="Concept art"/>
