'''Mecha-Grunty''', also known as '''Mecha-Gruntilda'''<ref>''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'' instruction booklet, page 13</ref>, is a large robot that serves as [[Gruntilda]]'s body and the primary antagonist in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', which is a story set two months after ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and 22 months before ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

Essentially, Mecha-Grunty is a robotic version of [[Gruntilda]] which is housing her soul while her body remains trapped in her grave after the events of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. Grunty is predictably defeated and the Mecha-grunty robot is destroyed at the end of the game, and her soul returns to her body, while she waits for her two sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]], to remove the boulder trapping her.

Mecha-Grunty's remains were also used by [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]] to create the [[Hag 1]].

The whole time Grunty is in control of Mecha-Grunty, she refrains from using her magic, instead depending on the weapon systems installed in the robot.


Mecha-Grunty is also almost entirely based around the design of the [[Hag 1]], which is largely implied to be made from Mecha-Grunty's wreckage, seeing as how Mecha-Grunty's body is a drill and there is a tag-plate on its waist that reads "HAG 1".

Mecha-Grunty, Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

Mecha-Grunty, also known as Mecha-Gruntilda[1], is a large, mechanical body that was created by Klungo. It hosted Gruntilda's spirit during the events of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, making it the main antagonist of the game.

History

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

Ever since Grunty was crushed under a boulder in Banjo-Kazooie's ending, Klungo has been trying for two months to rescue Gruntilda. Two months later, however, Klungo invented a Mecha-Grunty machine which sucked in Grunty's spirit from the rock that Grunty was trapped under. Mecha-Grunty proceeds to kidnap Kazooie and travel back in time to enact her latest plan, which is to prevent Banjo and Kazooie from meeting and erase her defeat at their hands from history. Mumbo Jumbo uses magic to send Banjo in the past as well so that he can go after Mecha-Grunty.

The first battle against Mecha-Grunty takes place in Breegull Beach. When she is defeated, Banjo and Kazooie reunite for the rest of their adventure. There are several battles against Mecha-Grunty, each one being different from the previous. In one battle, Mecha-Grunty attacks by shooting lasers at Banjo and Kazooie. In other battles, Mecha-Grunty surrounds herself with shockwaves to defend herself. Two battles have Mecha-Grunty hovering up the air and trying to crush Banjo and Kazooie by landing on them. In most battles, except the third-person egg shooter battle, Banjo and Kazooie must wait for Mecha-Grunty to perform her signature laugh, which is when her shockwaves disappear. This gives Banjo a brief opportunity to perform a Forward Roll to attack Mecha-Grunty.

In the ending, when Mecha-Grunty is defeated, the robot collapses, and Grunty's soul returns to her body. She tells Klungo to fetch her sisters, thus starting the events of Banjo-Tooie.
