Grotusque is a Monsterbot Military Strategist.
Grotusque-charactermodel

If only Wildman had gotten to draw these guys in action... sigh. Nick Roche is drawing me WOOOOO!

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? Still, Grotusque gamely laughs off even his own hideous appearance and alternate mode with a joke about Primus having had a little too much high-grade energon that day.

Grotusque transforms into a robotic winged saber-toothed cat-like monster. In that mode he can shoot "cold" sparks shoot from his mouth, as well as use his "Vaporator" weapon.

He's jovial, upbeat, and irreverent by nature despite his frightening exterior. To the frequent amusement (and sometimes annoyance) of his comrades, Grotusque can be counted on to fill the air with laughter and lighthearted jokes in even the darkest or least appropriate of situations. To their dismay he's simply incapable of taking anything totally seriously. Yet they have little other reason to complain, even if there are rumors he was once on the other side of the war; 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 (and witty quips). Fighting is fun, in Grotusque's opinion, or he simply 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.

Logs[]

Great Shutdown[]

Augustus 25 - "Primus Doesn't Care" - Megatron and Optimus Prime have been gone forever. Shockwave rules Cybertron, and each local governor runs his city like a little despot kingdom. In the Dead End area of Polyhex, Decepticon hunter-seekers target Empties for entertainment, and a certain Autobot moves to defend.

Mar 10 - Re: Polyhex[]

TEXT ONLY

Kitt and I were surveying Polyhex, looking for signs of Starscream being held there. Kitt figured the Destrons were a good choice to hold him as there'd be no Seeker loyalists to worry about. We were spotted by a patrol and pulled back. No luck this time. Another approach might be needed.

Notes[]

Grotusque2

He does the Monster Mash!

  • Grotusque's name is obviously a play on "grotesque", which works on the most obvious level as a description of how ugly and awful this Monsterbot is; similar wordplay was used with fellow Monsterbot Repugnus. However, Grotusque's twisted, many-different-animals-mashed-together alternate mode actually matches another definition of "grotesque" — that of the same sort of fanciful monstrosities that were carved into gothic structures for centuries. See, parents, this stuff is educational too!
  • The patent application for Grotusque describes him as a "reconfigurable toy tiger", which is certainly one interpretation of his alt mode. Grotusque's patent application
