Gargantuar Prime (Timeless)

The Gargantuar Prime is an enemy from Timeless, found first as a very large enemy during levels of the Far Future and later in Modern Day. He is a cyborg Gargantuar, equipped with a heavy plasma cannon which is used to shoot down players from afar, a dispenser of laser grenades that allows him to throw one every 20 seconds and a generator on his back that will periodically generate Insectoid Bots to swarm players. His robotic nature however makes him vulnerable to EMP attacks and similar disturbing effects caused by electric weapons
==Appearance and origins==
He has overall the morphology of a regular Gargantuar, but wears black clothing ; his boots are made out of black rubber, with small metallic parts and a strange small device under it allows him to suffer less from heavy falls ; the pants have the same color but are also littered with metallic protections akin to an exoskeleton, just like the shirt who also happens to have a strange device on its center, acting like a chestplate and linked to various parts of his body, powering all of the devices seen on him. His head has all of the jaw replaced by metallic parts, and his right eye is a red camera incrusted with metallic bolts in his skull. He carries what seem to be a large mounted plasma cannon, directly ripped from its support and connected to his armor, allowing it to function normally and to deliver powerful shots to players he may encounter. On his back is a barrel-shaped generator, with the top generating a ready-to-use laser grenade every 20 seconds which has to be thrown directly after being picked up. The underside of the generator seems to have been welded to the upper part, and is more mechanical, with exposed wires and mechanisms. Every 6-15 seconds it will emit a burst of sparks, and then lay down 3 to 15 Insectoid Bots which will then continue normally
He is based on the eponymous character from the game Plants vs Zombies 2, altough he was completely remastered and now works differently
==Attack Patterns==
The Gargantuar Prime will attack at close range by giving punches of kicks with his legs, but can also take his plasma cannon and swing it to harm players. Normally, he will just take aim and press the trigger, shooting like a regular plasma cannon ; he is quite accurate at close and medium range, but he can miss targets if they move a lot, if he is moving or if he has been struck by electricity/EMP. He can sometimes take the grenade stored on his back and throw it forward ; it will explode after 3.5 seconds, launching 15 lazers dealing 10 damage each. Only one grenade can be stored at the same time.
==Strategies==
Just like his present day version, the Gargantuar Prime is an overpowered beast with an even bigger health pool and a massive long-ranged weapon instead of an electrical pole, slightly diminishing his efficiency at close range but allowing him to fire devastating shots at nearby players, usually at a steady rate that allows him to take down unprotected and lonely targets with ease ; his laser grenades, altough very slow to deliver, will be able to inflict a great amount of damage and the bouncing shots can easily find their way towards a player if they are shot in an enclosed space. To make things even worse, his ability to create small minions quickly makes him very annoying since most players who choose anti-Gargantuar weapons will be highly disadvantage against those small and hard-to-hit bots, which can also disable the Plasma Cannons or the Force Fields on the map, rendering them impossible to use against the Gargantuar Prime.
To fight him, players must found a good place to hide from the devastating shots, and then attempt to shoot at him, with always someone to occupy him so he won't start attacking the most important players. Photonic Shields are a very important tool, since having each players wield one allows to reduce significantly the casualties due to plasma shots and laser grenades. But the most efficient weapon, able to counter almost any moves coming from this zombie, is the EMP Bomb, which is able to deactivate for a few seconds his armament and stun him briefly, making it useful to stop a charge or to save a player being attacked. Otherwise, Taser Guns can reach a similar effect if used long enough on him.
To cope with the swarms of Insectoid Bots, a good close range weapon is highly recommended, but since the only Far Future weapon fitting this role is the slow Electrical Club, you will have to use weapons from other worlds like a Qiang. Stomping them manually is usually laborious
==Rewards==
When beaten, players will earn the Gargantuar Prime Medal, as a symbol for killing your first Gargantuar Prime. It is required to vanquish at least one to get the achievement Smash Bros Ultimate
==Trivia==
*He is considered as a zombie disabled by EMP, despite not being a machine and being only stunned for a very small amount of time
