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 and planes are outfitted with guns, but the cars mostly ram into things. They have red body, a pair of stubby arms and legs, and a yellow, boomerang-shaped peace on it head resembling angry eyebrows.

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.

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 have moderate health and ramming them a few times should do the job. They are yellow and grey.

The unnamed Gruntbot has made very few appearances. They are large purple see-through spheres. These are presumed Gruntbots because they have tiny eyes on the sides of them, and they make the same animation as a Gruntbot when it gets hurt. 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 may be similar to the unused Gruntbot named the Possesor, as it seemingly "posseses" the item needed to win.

These are gruntbots that weren't used in Banjo Kazooie Nuts 'n' Bolts. On the graves in the Mad Monster Mansion section in BanjoLand, you can see pictures of them, as well as their names on the back of each tombstone. They are also in photographs by the Click Clock Woods tree. They include the possesor, whitch is an egg shaped purple ghost with green eyes. Another is the generator, whitch is a glass container filled with balls.
