Grungust, which also has the Grungust MK-2 and Grungust KAI models, is a series of original mechs created for the Super Robot Wars game series, which is why it's included in the Banpresto Originals series.

### Origin

Grungust was developed at the Reich Tesla Institute by the United States government as a successor to Gespent Type-S to compete with Japan's Super Robot. However, the project came to a standstill. Fortunately, the Haran conglomerate owned by Banjou Haran provided financial support for the project, allowing Grungust to be completed properly. In all the classic games, Grungust's brainwave control system is customized specifically for the hero, making him the only person capable of controlling the mech.

After some time, after the unification of all countries into the Earth Federation, Grungast became on a par with other such original mechs.

## Abilities

Grungust is a powerful super robot equipped with a variety of melee weapons and a choice of alternate combat forms.

### Big Missile

Large missiles stored on Grungust. They are stored on the shoulders and on the underside in winged mode, which are only used during the G-Combination. Missiles are used only in cruise and ground modes.

### Omega Laser

The Omega Laser is a high-energy beam fired from Grungust's eyes while in robot mode.

### Spiral attack

Attack Grungust in Wing Gust. In it, it deploys an energy field in front of it and performs a continuous roll of the barrel, crashing into the target.

### Drill attack

Attacking Grungust in Gust Lander mode. Similar to the Spiral Attack, the ground Grungast deploys an energy field in front of him, this time the field itself takes the form of a drill and spins rapidly as the machine pierces through the target.

### G-Combination

Grungust assumes all 3 forms during this attack. It first transforms into Wing Gust and approaches the target, releasing a volley of Large Missiles, followed by a Dual Omega Laser (mentioned earlier), and then a Spiral Attack. After that, it transforms into Gust Lander and bombards the enemy with Omega Cannon shots before finishing them off with a Drill Attack.

### Boost Knuckle

Grungust launches his forearms with boosters at the enemy. Obvious missile attack.

### Break Cross

Numerous 4-bladed shurikens thrown from Grungust explode shortly after impact.

### Dark Rock

It can be seen as an enhanced version of the Break Cross and can be used simultaneously with them.

### Final beam

The Grungust Beam is a large and huge burst of energy emitted from Grungust's entire body. It consists of 3 triangular beam emitters on Grungust's chest that flip forward when they converge, creating a powerful destructive beam.

### Keito Ragu Ken (Sword of Ketu-Rahu)

Grungust's primary melee weapon. Each sword is stored in each Omega Cannon on Grungust's back. Dual ownership is also possible.

The "Keito" (Ketu) and "Ragu" (Ratu) in the name of the weapon refer to the names given respectively to the South and North nodes of the Moon in Hindu mythology. Both are considered malefic celestial bodies, so Irm can be heard singing "Ten ni futatsu no magatsuboshi...!" (天に二つの禍つ星 | Two distress stars in the sky...!) at the initiation of Ankensatsu.

### Keito Ragu Ken - Ankensatsu (Sword of Ketu-Rahu - Murder with a dark sword)

Grungust's ultimate attack performed with Keito Ragu Ken. Grungast takes both swords, and they start to burn with flames when they are activated. After that, the mecha quickly advances on the enemy, chopping in a cruciform way. Irm additionally yells "Zan!" (Shash!), thereby cutting the enemy into 4 parts.

"Ankensatsu" (Killing with the Dark Sword) refers to the opposite direction of the Gudo Star (五黄土星 | The Fifth Yellow Earth Star, which represents the element of Earth, the wasteland, or even the Earth itself) in Kyūsei Kigaku if said direction happens. be a bad direction this year. Means disaster and unexpected bad luck from someone else, as if "killing with a sword from darkness." Kuyuyusei Kigaku is a form of divination based on astrology.

Subsequent models have almost the same attacks, but under different names. However, the KAI model has a special winged mount on its back, which has its own special attacks.

### Dual Beam Cannon

One of the new weapons added with Wing Gust. These cannons are mounted on the sides of the support ship and use the same convergence mechanism as the Final Beam. They can be used in both Wing Gust and Robot Mode.

### Eight-barreled rocket launcher

Another new weapon has been added with Wing Gust. This is an 8-tube rocket launcher mounted on a support ship that can be used in robot mode.

### Ultimate beam

Grungust Kai fires Last Beam and Dual Beam Cannon at the same time.

### Keito Ragu Ken - Gusatsu (Sword of Ketu-Rahu - Fifth Yellow Kill)

Only in KAI model. The second and currently the strongest finisher of Grungust Kai. Throwing out the Keito Ragu Ken, Grungust Kai raises his sword as it falls and plunges into the ground before jumping high with its thrusters. Firmly wielding his sword, Grungust Kai accelerates straight towards the target and strikes down from above, then locks into a standing position and performs an upward strike, leaving what appears to be a V-shaped mark on the opponent. Grungust Kai enters "Final Mode" when unleashing this attack.

"Gusatsu" (Fifth Yellow Kill) refers to the direction of the Gudo Star of a certain year in Kyusei Kigaku, if the indicated direction turns out to be a bad direction in that year. It signifies self-destruction and extreme unhappiness. This direction may have been chosen for the second finisher of the Grungast Kai due to it being in the opposite direction from Ankensatsu.
