Grungust Type-0

The very first Grungust concept developed by Tesla Leicht Institute, being created as a first draft of the concept that TLI would use for further development of the 'G-Series' as it is known, the Reishiki was loaded with very few weaponry, but has a very strong armor. Also the testbed for the 'Cracker Engine', this unit was given to Major Sanger Zonvolt, leader of the ATX team stationed in the Langley base in North America.

Weaponry Specifications for Type-0

• Armor Breaker
  A small missile is launched that in contact diminishes the defense capabilities of the enemy armor to a minimum level.

• Boost Knuckle
  The Grungust launches it's arm to perform an aerial punch, a classic move between super robots.

• Hyper Blaster
  Overheated particle beam launched from the grungust's chest, once again another classic move based upon japanese super robots.

• Reishiki Zankantou (Collosal Blade in ATLUS translation)
  Equiped with it's own boosters, the massive blade appears in front of the Grungust to be used by Sanger, which uses the full weight of the blade and the Grungust plus the boosters on both to perform a diagonal slash that finishes the enemy, in the upcoming Original Generations game for PS2 the Reishiki carries the Collosal Blade all the time instead of 'summoning' it as it does in the GBA version

Grungust Unit-1

With the test concepts of the Grungust Type-0 ongoing with the ATX team, the Tesla Leicht Institute proceeded with the production of the next model of the Grungust, known as the original Grungust, since it's the one featured in SRW4 and other games, the Type-1 or Ishiki is commonly refered as 'Grungust' unlike the other models wich are refered to them as their type model number.

The Unit-1 of the Grungust was given to the Irmgalt Kazahara, son of the main scientist of the Tesla Leicht Institute, Jonathan Kazahara, as a distintive characteristic, the Grungust was capable to transform into two speciality modes, for use as an Aerial Bomber (known as Wing Gust) and for Terrestial Assault (known as Gust Lander). It is said that the Grungust is equiped with a direct link brain wave controller with voice control to make it easier to control the heavy unit.

In the SRW Original Generation: Divine Wars anime, Brooklin Luckfield is to be given the Grungust Unit-2. Unlike units 1 and 3, unit 2 is painted red and it's head features a lion design simmilar to the Grungust Reishiki and Sanshiki, it also features a T-LINK System.
