Grotusque


 * Grotusque is a Monsterbot in the Generation 1 continuity family.

Grotusque laughs at life and everything in it. Why shouldn't he when nothing out there could ever be as frightening as his own reflection in the mirror? He's jovial, upbeat, goofy and irreverent by nature despite his frightening exterior. To the frequent amusement (and sometimes annoyance) of his comrades, Grotusque is a steady stream of lighthearted banter and joking in even the darkest of situations. To their dismay he's simply incapable of taking anything totally seriously. Yet they have little other reason to complain, Grotusque's courage is legendary and he's a top-notch fighter. He's also quite brilliant at his function as strategist, with a sharp and analytical mind that's perfect for planning masterful campaigns. Fighting is fun, in Grotusque's opinion, or he wouldn't do it, and, in the end, death is as much a joke as life, so smile and laugh a little, and enjoy yourself while you're here.

As a Monsterbot, Grotusque transforms into a fire-breathing gargoyle-like mechanical creature that somewhat resembles a cross between a sabertoothed cat, a dragon, and a kangaroo. Though he can fly in this mode, he's rather awkward at it and prefers to bound along, using his powerful hind legs for three mile-long leaps. His wings are fairly fragile, but his tusks are near-indestructable.
