The **Grabber** is a boss in **Intrusion 2**. It can be found in the level **'VS Grabber'**.

## Appearance

the grabber is a large piloted ship with 2 arms on either side. at the bottom of the ship is a small hull that holds multiple Troops, with a door on the side for troops to drop out of. above the bottom hull are 2 large robotic arms, with 3 fingers, and 1 thumb on each hand. these arms and hands have human like articulation, with working joints and life-like movement. these 2 arms are controlled by the pilots at the front of the ship. there are 2 pilots: the main pilot, and the co-pilot. the grabber can still operate with 1 pilot on board. there is also a button inside the pilots area that ejects there seat, which has a parachute attached to the back. this can be seen when sliding down the snowy mountain in Shattered Slide, when fighting the Grabber Pilot. below the pilots area, on the front of the ship is a mounted chaingun. the gun is likely also controlled by the pilots, and potentially has a camera veiw from the small yellow circle on the bottom front of the grabber. the chaingun is chain fed by a round of ammunition stored inside the ship, and has an infinite amount of ammunition.

the grabber is help up by 2 / 4 hover engines. these engines can be moved in 2 dimensions to move the grabber itself. in the main fight with the grabber, the goal is too shoot off these engines. without the engines, the grabber has no way of keeping itself suspended in the air, and so it falls to the floor and crawls. this nover tech is one commonly used by Teochrome, and can be seen in mostly all teochrome aircraft.

## Boss Phases

### Phase 1

Grabber will come from the top of the screen and grip the bridge on either side of the player preventing them from escaping. Grabber's hull door opens and lets out two Troops. After they are defeated, two more Troops are released and after they are defeated Grabber tears the bridge apart, sending you falling onto a cliff below.

### Phase 2

Grabber will start shooting at you with its front gun. It has **1200 health**. It will alternate between 4-bullet-bursts and long sweeping fire that will cover the most of the cliff face. After four cycles of this, Grabber's fists will smash the ground one at a time, two times, and then the entire attack cycle will restart until the front gun is destroyed. When the front gun is destroyed Grabber will smash its fists onto the ground one at a time, four times, and then destroy the cliff face and sending you to a lower cliff.

### Phase 3

The next targets are the two propulsion jets located on the side of its hull. You can target either one, but the first one you destroy will do so at **1000 health**, and the second will destroy at **750 health**. Grabber will send out two-to-three Troops and then fly away until they are defeated. This is repeated until either one of the propulsion jets are destroyed. After either jet is destroyed, Grabber will repeat the same fist-smashing featured at the end of phase 2 and will destroy the cliff face, sending you falling down onto a building. Grabber will continue sending out Troops and flying away until you take out the last propulsion jet.

### Phase 4

Grabber will slowly pursue you, smashing the ground and destroying things in its path. After some time the two jets will blow up and Grabber will start crawling towards you. It is recommended to wait until the jets blow up before trying to destroy the two front windows. The pursuit will end at the end of a cliff where the fight continues. Grabber will start a simple attack pattern where it alternates between trying to smash the player, and trying to grab the player. The fight ends when both windows are destroyed. They both have **1000 health**.

## Trivia

* If you look closely at one of Grabber's hand falling down the mountain, you'll see that it's flipping you off (one of his hands makes an obscene gesture).
* If you use the plasma gun to shoot both jets at the start of phase 3 at the same time, the front jet will explode after losing 500 health instead of 1000.
* the grabber shares alot of similarities in weapons and design to the gunner ship from the first game.
* if you die whilst fighting the grabber, it will fist bump the air
