The Grub, also known as the Cyber Grub or Yellow Android, is an cyborg/Organic androids enemy from Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past and a playable skin in Plazma Burst 2 custom maps. They are plain and adaptable life forms that are "grown" by TCoRR commonly made to assist in combat. They are programmed like robots and don't have free will useless taught to have one. Grubs first made an appearance in the early levels of Plazma Burst: Forward to the past.

Although the Grub is not as well armored (unlike its counterpart, the Elite Grub), it can still be a formidable foe. The Grub is only known to use a basic energy weapon that fires a single yellow projectile, but since the Grub has a cannon on each arm, it fires both simultaneously. They are first encountered on the second level of the first game, and last encountered on level 4.

The Grub skin was added into Plazma Burst 2 as a part of the Version 1.20 update. However, its Arm Cannon no longer works, possibly because of balance issues it would bring in, or simply game engine constraints. Or perhaps in terms of lore, Arm Cannon isn't suitable for Earth's environment.

Grubs are known to battle against the Human Soldiers. The reason for this is unknown. It's possible they are a hostile invading force.

Weapon variety[]

Arm Cannon[]

Grubs have an integrated single-shot/shotgun type weapon in their arm. The arm cannon fires a single yellow projectile and has a fairly slow fire rate, but it deals medium-high damage. The arm cannon is not a particularly dangerous, and can be avoided if a Grub is dispatched quickly. However, it does have high knock back. All Grubs, Elite included, found in Plazma Burst: Forward to the Past have some kind of variant of this weapon.

Trivia[]

  • This character has rather slow movement speed in Plazma Burst 2. This could be due to the armor.
  • Because of their design and being located on an asteroid, the Grubs could possibly be a type of mining cyborg.
  • Grubs are likely used as forward communication operators, for they have a large backpack which houses a radio. They also lack the firepower of their cousins because they are likely meant more for a means of communication with troops on the front-line rather then actual combat.
  • Judging by the fact that their elite counterpart uses the Ray Rifle, it is possible that the Grubs are in some way related to the mysterious TCoRR faction that has been hinted at to exist in the series.
    • The Grubs were probably made to defend areas from intruders from trespassing if they breach most areas that the Human Soldiers are guarding.
    • According to Eric Gurt, Grubs are plastic life forms.
      • The Grubs were probably made to defend areas from intruders from trespassing if they breach most areas that the Human Soldiers are guarding.
        • Grubs may attack the Human Soldiers occasionally if they see the Marine and the Human Soldiers at the same time. This possibility occurs due to the Marine being the same species as the Human Soldiers, and the Grubs probably gets confused on who to fire at.
